Babesta Beat SS17

CAN’T. LIVE. WITHOUT.

SAY CHEESE Heidi Kenney’s Yummy series strikes again this season.

The latest food to be anthropomorphized: cheesy puffs! We asked Kenney about her penchant for googly eyed grub. “I think most people love thinking of inanimate objects with their own little personalities,” she says. Kenney started crafting Yummies in 2003, and was brought on byKid Robot in 2006 after being spotted at the Renegade Craft Fair in NYC. Having brought to life popcorn and tacos, chicken legs and TV dinners, It’s hard toplay favorites, but if she had to pick, it wouldbe the pink cakewith a baby slice cut out. “The pair is crying. I created the original plush to explainwhat it’s like togive a little piece of yourself away.”
