I collect Pez dispensers. I've even been to the Pez museum in California, which is basically a gift shop and a small exhibit room. So when I was in Santa Fe earlier this year for Bead Fest, it shouldn't be surprising that even though Santa Fe is known for turquoise and chile, I found Pez. Tucked away in a courtyard was a tiny candy shop called Todos Santos (125 E. Palace Ave.) that sold customized Pez dispensers by Albuquerque artist Steve White. The mannequin outside the store was wearing a suit a Pez dispensers. How cool is that?
Here are a few more Pez-inspired links:
• Pez jacket: A close-up of a Pez jacket by Steve White.
• Pez earrings:The artist cleverly created a mold using real Pez to create these silver earrings.
• Pez car: I especially like the helmet.
