cellio: (don't panic)
[personal profile] cellio
The Stack Exchange mascot, a plush unicorn, is currently making a world tour of moderators who wanted to participate. (I, um, kind of had something to do with hatching that plan.) She arrived yesterday, along with her memory book (looking forward to reading that) and assorted mementos from places she's been. I really need to figure out something that says "Pittsburgh" to add to the collection. At scale is best; she's about 8" tall, so, for example, a regular-sized Terrible Towel would be overkill.

Suggestions welcome! Must be something I can obtain in the next week or so, and must not be an imposition to ship.

She'll be going to the local SCA event next week, so I've already located a baronial token for her (one of the cast comets). But that's a little...specialized.

Yes I'll post some pictures later of her visits around town.

A Heinz pickle pin is small, but might be hard to get.

A small enamel pin with a Steelers, Pirates or Penguins logo might work.

Or, a tiny black and gold scarf to wear.

Good luck! That's kind of a tough thing to choose!

Check second hand stores for doll clothing.

The History Center in the Strip District might have the pickle pins. I'm not sure where they come from either, or if they're even still a thing. :-)

I think you're right about the pickle pins being available in the History Center gift shop.

Oh, she beat me to the pickle pin. But the History Center DOES have them! Not hard to find at all!
