when my friend laura emailed me an article about the 2011 Washington Post Peeps Diorama Contest, i didn’t think much of it. i glanced through it and thought, “that’s cute” and then went to bed. in the morning, however, i gave the photos a more thorough look-over and decided that this contest is one of the cutest things i’ve ever seen. i’ve always hated peeps but now, after seeing these photos, i think i’m kind of obsessed with them (just as long as i don’t have to eat them). mostly, i’m just amazed at how creative people are. and since tomorrow is good friday, i figured today was an appropriate time as ever to share it here. hope you enjoy!
the winner (and my top 10 favorite finalists):
Contest winner: “Chilean CoPeepapo Mine Rescue” 
1. “TSA Agents Get a Peep Show”
2. “Peeps in Purgatory” (the peep skeletons get me every time)
3. “Vincent Van Peep’s Starry Starry Night” (to be honest, i just like this one because the name ‘Vincent Van Peep’ makes me laugh!)
4. “Inpeeption” (this one is simple but so clever nonetheless…..and, like #3, the name ‘Inpeeption’ is so hilarious to me…)
5. “The King’s Peep” (again, can’t…get over….the title…)
6.“Black Peep” (this one is hard to see but i think that’s the mattress on the left and i want to say there’s a blood-covered peep laying on it….having seen the movie, i’m laughing out loud.)
7. “The Very Hungry Catpeepillar”
8. "Apple's iPeep Release in Georgetown"
9. “The Peepstones” 
10. “Peeperazzi” (this parody of lady gaga’s grammy entrance is hysterical…who would ever think to recreate this with peeps? unbelievable.)
11. "Peepie Sheen Receives His Daily Transfusion of Fresh Tiger Blood" (okay, i meant to choose only my top 10 but this one is, hands down, the funniest title of the bunch…i was laughing out loud in the teacher’s lounge saying, “peepie sheen!!” but then again i was also saying that for “the peepstones!! the very hungry catpeepillar! inpeeption! the king’s peep!”….)
the rest of the washington post article (including other finalists + behind the scenes videos) can be found here.
I don't like to eat peeps, but this is too cute!
Bwahaha! These are hilarious! People out there sure are amazingly creative!
oh my gosh this is hysterical! I love the winner's!
I thought that the "Very Hungry Catpeepillar" should've been "Very Hungry Peeperpiller" because that's more fun to say :) The Chilean mine rescue one I think leaves all the rest behind, if only because of the fighting peep mistresses in the lower left.
this.made.my.day.
Oh man, this is fantastic in so many ways. I am also sitting here laughing out loud at the titles. InPEEPtion bahaha
I've never seen anything like this before! It's absolutely hilarious :-D

I've never seen these before but the inception one is brilliant!
Thanks for sharing, that is too cute! I used to love peeps, but now just thinking about them makes my teeth hurt. They are obviously good for many uses, though!
bahaha, these are fantastic! this reminds me - yesterday my art history professor showed us a parody of edward hopper's "nighthawks" with peeps!

I have no idea what peeps are! Don't think we get them here in the UK!
I dont' like peeps either. I'm not sure how I tolerated them as a kid. My boyfriend though, loves them! My favorite is Van Goe!!
Oh my gosh these are hysterical! I can't believe they don't have Qdoba in Europe, that is a tragedy! Just Go With It is such an awesome movie, I'm pretty sure I'll even buy it when it comes out on DVD! Enjoy It!
Hahahaha! SO creative! I would never come up w any of those! :) Thanks for the laugh.
aahahahah. i was laughing out loud reading these. my brother started getting mad at me because my laughter was overshadowing the voices on "swamp people." {yeah...} this is brilliant. the titles are SO clever. i saw another post about it but forgot to check it out. thanks for posting it and for the laughs.

haha that is so cute
These are all soooo cute! I love to eat peeps, and I love to look at them in costume/scenarios. I just realized if peeps were just boring circle shapes in dull colors I probably would not like them at all.
hahah this is too much. i actually hate peeps because i was once forced to eat an entire sleeve of them in 5 minutes. shivers.
lol this is out of control lol. I love peeps. I wish I didnt love them though.. becuase my car smalls of hot sugar.. mmm peeps
Hahahahahahaha, wow. This is great. I'm like dying of laughter right now... :D :D :D
