[The Dish Fairy making her rounds] A co-worker sent mail encouraging people to clean up their messes in the kitchen area, saying "and there is no dish fairy to come wash them." My reaction? There is too a Dish Fairy! And I've seen her! She is kind, and pretty, and never, ever, ever leaves streaks on the glasses or globs of food on the plates. This is sort of how I'd imagine her making her rounds. I was going to make her some Tinkerbell-esque kind of pixy, complete with a similar costume, but then I realized that the Dish Fairy wouldn't wear such things. Perhaps a dish rag at best, but I couldn't easily represent that. So I hid the naughty/interesting bits with a semi-contrived pose. I do like how she's kind of kneeling on a soap bubble and instead of producing magic pixie sparkles, she makes magic cleaning soap bubbles.
