My Odd Tv Addiction



So as of late i have found myself confined to my bed watching a great new find of mine called Oddities.  Very rarely do i leave my room now, mostly to eat, smoke and take a dump.  But that is how i know I am absolutely in love with a show.

Oddities is essentially a reality program that follows the everyday running of a business that specialises in Odd Collectibles.  The shop is called Obscura Antiques & Oddities and it is located in Manhattan.

One of the best things about this show is the crazy, bizarre and basically obscure items that they buy and sell in store. They have had electric chairs, shrunken heads, a woman who does art with nail clippings and such other strange things.

But the best thing about this show is the people in it.  You have the shop owners Evan and Mike, and the intern that works there "The Cerd" as they call him, the cool nerd. and then Ryan, the bone collector (not like that Angelina Jolie movie)  Yes these guys are great.  I love when they get The Curd to do shit he doesn't want to do and I love Evan and mike.  But the best people in the whole show are the customers.

The customers of Obscura are absolutely obscure.  They mainly have artists come in but you do get the odd professional that you would not expect to come in.

My favorite characters have been Edgar Oliver, who is very stereotypical pedophile, MIND YOU HE ISN'T! He is just very....articulate...His most renown line from the show is "Issss...That a....Straight Jacket?



Then there is Genesis P-Orridge who  is an English singer-songwriter, musician, poet, writer and performance artist. This is infact a man, who is all about art and his body is an expression of his art.


Then there is Laura Flook, Mortician turn Model turned Designer.  She has the very awkward feel about her and loves vacuuming out chest cavities as it is satisfying for her.  But man is she hot!


For more on these people feel free to check back here as i will be posting about such strange and interesting people.

As for Oddities, be sure to catch it on TV or online here. 
Or if you really want the Obscura experience why not check out the shop if you are in Manhattan.

As for now be sure to share and subscribe because I have some really great stuff coming up this year.
