Gnomes: Cute garden dwellers or little villains?
Gnomes: Cute garden dwellers or little villains?
By Susan Wloszczyna, USA TODAY
Consider the lowly garden gnome.
Whether mud-caked, faded or battered by adverse weather, they are steadfast in their silent sentry ship. And, much like their cousins in outdoor décor — the plastic pink flamingo — they often elicit strong responses.
Some find the wee, hirsute statues with their pointy caps, jolly demeanor and peasant attire to be irresistibly cute. Others simply dismiss the stone imps as tacky yard clutter.
There are also those who find them downright creepy. Actress Emily Blunt, who provides the voice for the gnomish version of Shakespeare's heroine in the new 3-D animated comedy Gnomeo & Juliet — which sprouted $25.4 million at the box office this past weekend — has confessed that the sight of little bearded men loitering about the lawn scared her as a child. Not surprising since, as folklore has it, the ornaments often come to life whenever humans aren't around — a key element in Gnomeo's story line.
