<\/div>\n

I’ve been meaning to write this post for a while, but it kept getting pushed back. So, some of these pens are rather old at this point. However, the premise still holds true: all of these pens remind me of of other, non-pen, items.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Please note: I’ve borrowed all of these images, they are not mine. Each image links to the page where I found it. In the future, some of the links likely won’t work.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

I’m listing these in alphabetical order.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Montblanc Muses Elizabeth Taylor<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

To be 100% honest, I have no idea how this pen is inspired by jewelry. I see two things:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \n
  1. The SFW version is a door knocker.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  2. The NSFW version is a nipple ring. I was good and didn’t include a photo so no one will get in trouble. You’re welcome. Commend me on my restraint. *grin*<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

    Montegrappa Tutankhamun<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

    I realize that no one would want<\/em> to write with a pen that looks like it has multi-thousand-year-old wrappings. However, with the nice, clean wrappings, it closely resembles a skein of chunky yarn.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Pineider Psycho<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

    The intricate design on this pen brings to mind the gorgeously complex exterior of the National Museum of African American History and Culture.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Tibaldi Bamboo<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

    Nope, this doesn’t make me think of a stalk of bamboo. Rather, this delightful little pen reminds me both of a nipple tassel and \u2014 when the pen is uncapped \u2014 a fez.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    I know there are people who love these, so this may be controversial. But, come on, they’re unwrapped Jolly Ranchers, especially the grape!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    At first, I thought the “tail” was poseable. However, once I discovered that it’s… wiggly, all I can see is a sticky hand.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Thanks for reading to the end, I hope you enjoyed my post. Do you agree with me on any of these? What pens remind you<\/em> of something else? Let me know in the comments! I’d love to hear from you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    We all know a pen can be more than just a pen. As the designs have gotten more complex, I’ve noticed that some look a lot like other, non-pen, things.<\/p>\n
