Toilet Mug from Harriet Carter

I’m pleased to announce the first feature of Toilet Week, brought to you by Julie’s Tacky Treasures.  Reaction from my fans to the announcement of Toilet Week has ranged from “I’m flushed with excitement” to “What the Flush?”

All installments for Toilet Week will appear in this post, so keep coming back throughout the week of February 22-26 to see what’s new.

Monday – Toilet Mug from Harriet Carter catalog

Tuesday - Toilet Ash Tray

Wednesday – Toilet Radio by Stellarsonic

Thursday - Goodbye Cruel World

Friday - Toilet Pencil Sharpener

The Discovery Channel may have its “Shark Week,” but Julie’s Tacky Treasures is going to attempt its first “Toilet Week.”  And you thought the bibliography of farting was tasteless.  Starting Monday, February 22, I will feature a different toilet-related tacky treasure every day, for your enjoyment.

Tackily yours,

Julie

Pope Benedict XVI popener

When I first reported on the popener in Julie’s Tacky Treasures, Pope John Paul II was still alive.  A year later, the Pope passed away, and I wondered if there would be a Pope Benedict XVI popener.  Finally, I have the answer…yes!  I found one on eBay, and here it is.  The other side of the medallion has a picture of Pope John II on it.  Two popes for the price of one.  I can’t help wondering if they wanted to avoid a comparison of the popularity of the two popes by making two separate popeners.
