Build-A-Mate

I took my niece to Build-A-Bear over the weekend. It always amazes me how one little bear can be so expensive by the time we are done “personalizing” it. As we walked around and picked items that would make this bear more perfect than the 5 others that she owns, I thought about how nice it would be if we could do this with our mates. Now, I am not complaining about the great husband that I have, but boy-oh-boy it would be so much fun to build him from scratch!

My first station would be the face station. I’ll admit, I am a sucker for a nice smile. I would have to choose the Matthew McConaughey face, complete with those gorgeous dimples! However, I’ll replace the teeth with the Idris Elba Colgate smile set and top it off with the Benjamin Bratt perfectly moussed hair piece. While I am not really into the muscular, body builder type, you must be able to hang a nice suit. With that in mind, I’ll take the Michael Jordan body, please include the walk as well. What next? Oh yea, my mate will need clothes on that great body. I think that I will go with the Will Smith clothing package. You know the one, with the sweaters and ties and also the great designer suits.

Next, let’s stuff my mate. I would like for him to have a personalized voicebox so that he sings like Maxwell. However, I would like him to have the consciousness of Common and come complete with the ATM card of Bill Gates.

I think that does it, what’s the total for this perfect man? $5 Trillion…..no wonder he doesn’t exist!

What would your Build-A-Mate include?
