Tat Watch # 1

I've been meaning to do this for a long time and an advert in the Daily Mail [magazine] prompted me to do it.
The ad is from one of those peddlers of crap / tat / dust-gatherers and on this occasion is, compared to some of the junk which is advertised in other mags, quite restrained. It's all down hill from here for the Mail, next it will be the likes of the Elvis Presley - Tutankhamen - Dambusters memorial clock with integral juice maker.

Imagine the spirit of a Native American [Why?] style dreamcatcher in the sculptural form of a winged maiden, raising her own dreamcatcher to the skies. She will capture the good dreams and ensnare the bad, allowing the person under her protection to be renewed and inspired through the healing gift of sleep.
Celebrate the reverence of Native American cultures for the power of dreams and visions with "Sacred Calling," a collectible Native American style [though not your actual thing] figurine inspired by centuries of rich tradition. Handcrafted in fine artist's resins [a posh name for plastic], your figurine is meticulously detailed and wondrously realized. Don't risk missing out [befor we melt it down and make some other tat out of it] on this extraordinary expression of this beautiful spirituality, available exclusively from The Bradford Exchange.
