One of the neatest bits of trivia I’ve been able to find about Little Shop of Horrors is the story behind the dog from Somewhere That’s Green, the stuffed one and the real one.

So during the original run of Little Shop, Ellen Greene met the puppeteer for Audrey II, Martin P. Robinson. He also worked as a puppeteer on Sesame Street, most notably for Mr. Snuffleupagus. They started dating and somewhere around this time, she also got a cocker spaniel that she named Snuffy after the character he played.

Now that alone is really cool but there’s even more to it.

When she was filming the Little Shop movie, she wasn’t able to see her dog as much anymore due to the fact that they were filming in England and she lived in New York. Knowing this, the director, Frank Oz, gave her a stuffed animal that looked just like her dog to cheer her up. That same stuffed dog ended up making it into the film and an actual cocker spaniel (not Snuffy, a different dog) was also brought in to play Audrey’s dog in her fantasy.

GRACE CHASITY FROM NERDY PRUDES MUST DIE

Why do you think aromanticism could save them?: “The song Dirty Girl which is all Grace’s sexual fantasy focuses a lot on them not caring about each other and there being no strings attached, it feels super alloaro.”

This was shared as a "bad" joke but I was so charmed by it I've been thinking about it for days.

Swampert predicts storms by sensing subtle differences in the sounds of waves and tidal winds with its fins. If a storm is approaching, it piles up boulders to protect itself.

A note on colours: in my experience, floss looks different irl than in online pattern makers. If you think a different colour will work better, go with your gut!
