So, she’s small enough to wear a morning glory as a hat, but she’s large enough that birds can sit on her shoulder. Presumably, if she was enough of a Lilliputian to adorn herself with blossoms, you’d imagine that she’d be the size of a bird-snack. Birds would eat her. They’d be giant to her! But, for some reason, she’s still human-sized, and, I assume living in some universe where flowers are enormous. Or…is she? Maybe in whatever reality she inhabits, she’s still small, but birds are even smaller. It’s…it’s…
Okay, it’s a trade card. This has the feeling of 1904 to me. It may be earlier, but it feels very Edwardian to me and has a whole whacky Music Hall thing going on.

When you name your child Flopsy, she pretty much has no choice.
Tired of catching birds the old-fashioned way? We have harnessed the power of the rare Whore Flower to create Belle's Bird Bait. Belle's Bird Bait. Chomp Dem Birds!
Chomp dem birds! Our motto for the day!
This is bizarre. Look at her shoes! What the hell?

You seem to know a lot about mythical skin mags, Sam.
I think its an ad for tarts.
Oh, Gene. You're funny!
Before she met Brad, Angelina had a way with the birds.
I have no doubt.
Little Miss Morning Glory
Lookout Thumbelina, out of the way Hooter Girls, you've been served Twin Peaks Ladies.
The new Girl in town is Little Miss Morning Glory.
She's got it all, flowers, birds and ATTITUDE!
I love that this first sentence contains the words "Thumbelina" and You've been served."
Flowers, birds and ATTITUDE! Very funny!
She DOES look like a little stripper, doesn't she?
Well done!
Susie's Seeds Grow, Grow, Grow. Put a wife in your life in two easy steps.
Ah! I'm sure that would be a big seller.
Looks like some of girls I wnt to school with.
You went to school in Oz?
She does look a little, um, trampy.
Just a little.
After her arrest for public lewdness, Thumbelina was never the same.
She was the Belle Watling of Fairy Land.
She's the girl that pirates dream about after months at sea.
That's why they're pirates. And don't mind being at sea.
The face that launched a thousand ships.
