The Pixie Approval System

Thy Approvals.

I review treats, toys, outfits, walks, places, people, pets, and household objects. The rating system is distinctive and, I assure you, final.

Pixie reviewing
Treat

Freeze-dried chicken

PIXIE APPROVED

The only currency I respect.

Toy

Slotho

PIXIE APPROVED

My sloth. My confidant. He understands me. We have a bond. Don't ask where he went.

Outfit

The cable-knit sweater

PIXIE APPROVED

Editorial. Effortless. Mine.

Place

The lanai next to the pool

PIXIE APPROVED

Ninja flooring (polyurea coating). Warm. Glossy. Mine. I sunbathe by the pool. Do not disturb.

Person

Grandma

PIXIE APPROVED

Best chicken supplier. Suspicious, but tolerated.

Activity

Being carried downtown

PIXIE APPROVED

I am a handbag now. This is my destiny.

Object

Tupak's bully stick

UNDER REVIEW

Pending acquisition. Then re-review. Then probably boredom.

Walk

Morning walks

UNDER REVIEW

Sun: maybe. Wind: no. Rain: legal action.

Activity

The glass slider (in & out)

FURTHER INVESTIGATION REQUIRED

Endlessly repeatable. I am still determining the limit. There may not be one.

Household object

The bell by the door

THE EDITOR HAS QUESTIONS

Is it for going outside? Or for summoning Mother? The answer is yes.

Household object

The vacuum cleaner

ABSOLUTELY NOT

A roaring beast. Ban it. I will not negotiate.

Activity

Bath day

ABSOLUTELY NOT

A betrayal I will remember forever.

Treat

Generic biscuits

ABSOLUTELY NOT

I can taste the audacity.

Person

The mail carrier

UNDER REVIEW

Comes too often. Under active surveillance.

The rating system

Five verdicts. No appeals.

PIXIE APPROVED

The highest honor. Rare. Earned. Non-transferable.

UNDER REVIEW

Pending. Probably leaning toward no. Or yes. Unclear.

ABSOLUTELY NOT

A verdict so final it borders on a grudge.

FURTHER INVESTIGATION REQUIRED

Repeatable. Ongoing. The limit is unknown.

THE EDITOR HAS QUESTIONS

The editor is not yet sure what she is looking at.
