A Piece of Something, All Right

Posted by Helen Killer

What the hell is this? Is this actually a blob of silicone with hair in it? For $18? No, sorry.
If I wanted one of these, I’d pull it out of my nose at a traffic light. Talk about hidden treasures!

“Sherished.” LOL This looks like a huge glob of earwax complete with the owner’s hair. Why in the hizell would you want to give this to someone as a gift?

That right there is a testicle. An $18 silicone testicle. With real human hair. Sherished, indeed.

regardless of the spelling mistake I have no idea what the hell this is and I don’t like things I don’t understand.

My sherished one said to me the other night, “Dear, could I have a few public hairs to stick in my little scrap of fimo?” — I of course thought it was a darling idea!

what the fuck. (bonus points for “skin tone colored!”… it might vary, but you don’t get to request it. So it might just be a piece of somebody else.) I’m pretty sure my sherished one would dump me if I gave him a nasty piece of stranger hair stuck in rubber.

Well, according to the listing “this item has made it to the front page of etsy” — why am I not surprised?

Only on etsy could someone try to make something in the family of plastic poop and fake vomit as “art”.

Fortunately, as of my making this post: no one has purchased one.

I saw this on one of the other sites, and I seriously don’t get it. There is not even a snarky comment or question to convey how much I don’t get it.

Am I trying to break up with the one I “sherish”? If someone I was dating gave me that, I’d take it as a sign. If my spouse gave me that now, I’d brace myself for divorce papers.

And is that my hair? Or am I giving my sherished one hair from someone else’s head?

I actually really love this blob. But then, I like a lot of things I don’t understand. I think the thing that makes it okay for me (and believe me it still squicks me out a little) is that it is so skillfully done. I added it to my favorites a long time ago.
It reminds me of the work of Ron Mueck.

I think this would be a touching gift to a survivor of testicular cancer.
