I think this is the funniest thing I've seen in a long time. It's a promotional bobble-head doll maquette with a recorded jingle that my friend Andy showed me. The toy is a thing of beauty: it's artfully sculpted and painted by hand. And it includes an IC chip with a lovely recorded tune...about vaginal itch! It must have cost the drug company a pretty penny. I certainly learned more about BV than I ever hoped to.

I think about the people involved in making this--particularly the song. Who is the unknown hero of a lyricist who found a good rhyme for "bacterial vaginosis"? How many takes did the singer need to get all the way through the song without cracking up?

I had just pre-lit a product shoot for the next morning when I saw this. It was too good an opportunity to pass up. Shot on Panasonic GH2 with Leica 45mm/Macro lens.
