Skymall is a mail-order catalog that allows you to buy ceramic deer, UV toothbrushes and 100% Turkish Cotton Slippers at 40,000 feet. In other words, it's a catalog of bizarre luxury items I've only ever seen offered on airplanes.
As someone who started flying at very young age, Skymall was just an entity that existed, and every flight caused fresh bewilderment as I leafed through the glossy pages of the catalog to stave off boredom. Every page just inspired the same questions, over and over:
Why were these things made?
Who buys them?
How on earth was this company surviving?
There are legitimate artists out there who can't scrape together a living, and yet Skymall has been around since the early 90s, and somehow is able to justify the costs of mass-producing giant terrifying tree statues and creepy plaster cherubs...and be successful enough to distribute full-color glossy catalogs on every major airline I've ever flown on.
How many people are buying hideous tree statues and UV-ear-hair-trimmers that it justifies mass-producing them? It boggles the mind. Anyway, without further ado, I give you Skymall Magic.
Today's adventure will be a voyage into the world of garden statuary. Our topic? Resin giraffes. Yes, Skymall has enough unique resin giraffe products available that I feel justified in calling this a "voyage".
