Is Peter Murphy's solo stuff any good?

Never smile at a crocodile... Peter Pan stuff for grownups?

  • Where can I find grown up stuff with a Peter Pan theme? Mr. Orangemiles loves Peter Pan but I don't want to get him green tights for his birthday. Something that says, "Yeah, you're getting older but I still love that little boy inside," would be better. Recognizable connection to Peter Pan, if possible, and a $30 budget. Suggestions?

  • Answer:

    Didn't Peter Pan like fireflies? You're in Florida... maybe a firefly lantern?

Does he have a classy copy of the book? Amazon has an illustrated http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/0805072454/metafilter-20/ref=nosim/ for $15

What about a print from the movie? I googled 'peter pan' art. The top result has nice prints that are quite affordale. you can get them framed too. http://www.art.com/asp/display-asp/_/id--13149/Peter_Pan.htm I'm sure there's lots of other stuff out there in a similar vein... prints from other movies, posters, original art, etc.

How about a http://costumezone.com/item.asp?cID=207&scID=228&PID=4420, adult size? (Directions to make your own http://www.ehow.com/how_6970_create-peter-pan.html, but you'd have to find out his head circumference without giving away the surprise.) http://www.amazon.com/gp/explorer/0517538733/2/ref=pd_lpo_ase/002-9595907-5890418? lists a bunch of books about J.M. Barrie, various cultural and psychological aspects of Peter Pan, and special editions of the book. (The above link is to a search with a bunch of good stuff in the results.) There's also http://www.scripophily.net/peterpanclub.html, a http://stylinonline.stores.yahoo.net/papeterpansit.html he could put on his favorite jacket, renowned British actor Derek Jacobi reading reading the story http://www.electricfetus.com/rel/v2_viewupc.php?storenr=227&upc=01349160072&pt=2&affnr=-1, a http://www.toysrus.com/product/index.jsp?productId=2314502 by Disney, or if he likes music, a http://www.jr.com/JRProductPage.process?Product_Id=3815114&JRSource=googlebase.datafeed.133367_CD with Mary Martin. (Maybe I'm biased on that one--my mom used to sing me "Tender Shepherd" as a lullaby!) And if you are both so inclined, certain after-dark parts of life could be livened-up with one of these: http://www.mydivascloset.com/pepatiweandc.html. (Wendy is available at: http://www.3wishes.com/fairy.asp#wendy). Slightly more than you were looking to spend, but could be worth it!

I haven't read this myself, but remember reading about it on Boing Boing: Alan Moore's http://www.boingboing.net/2006/06/27/alan_moores_erotic_l.html. According to BB, "Moore appropriated the iconic character Wendy for the graphic novel (she's in good company: Dorothy from "The Wizard of Oz," and Alice from Wonderland are in there, too)."

Emanuel's recommendation of Lost Girls was clever, but... be aware that it's "adult" material. I dig it a lot, but if you're giving him the gift in front of, oh, say, your in-laws... :-)

Leonard Bernstein wrote http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/B0009EZ0Q6/metafilter-20/ref=nosim/ for a stage version of Peter Pan. There's something oddly delicate and adult about it. Bernstein's version is very different from the famous Broadway musical version composed by Charlap and Styne.
