Congratulations
Regretsy would like to congratulate Bixbie’s Curios, the shop responsible for the catnip fetus toys I featured here on Tuesday. Bixbie reports that she’s had many sales, and her toy was featured on the Wall Street Journal’s Speakeasy blog today.
Congratulations also to Noadi, creator of the hideous dead rat in an Altoid box. Noadi reports over 1800 visitors to her store as a result of our mockery.
How much do I love this? An assload, that’s how much.
If you’re a seller who has benefited from being skewered here, please let me know. I’d like to give you a shout out.
And now, back to the shit.

I do have to quibble on it being called a dead rat, since it was never alive in the first place being a polymer clay sculpture.

a polymer clay sculpture of a dead rat.

oh dear … you can’t please some people!

Fantastic. Really goes to prove that there’s no such thing as bad publicity as long as they spell your name right.
And I am actually glad that Noadi clarified because I did think her creation was a real dead rat. Now that I know it’s a replica, it’s not nearly as morbid as I originally thought (while gagging). Though it’s just as disturbing.

It’s a beautiful thing
I’m even enjoying the hate mail I’ve recieved from preacher’s wives

Hey! It’s the person who makes the giant condom pillows. I’ve gotten quite a few messages about orders from people who have seen them on here.

Elk, EVERYONE is emailing me about those pillows. Did you see them on Apartment Therapy?

I’m a “preacher’s wife” although I prefer the term pastor.
Well, he’s actually an associate pastor…not even a full blown pastor so maybe that’s why I’m not sitting around sending out hate mail? I don’t know, anywho. Loving this blog!
And I’d like to give a shout out to all the misguided, judgmental Christians that make the rest of us Believers look like jackasses. Ok…off to take my pills.

lol, no I hadn’t! They’re apparently a lot of places on the internet.
I originally made it when I just wanted to be an ass and silkscreen and sew a project for a computer art class. The project was about waste. I knew everyone would do something about recycling, so I did this. Obviously. Then some of my classmates wanted to buy one, and it got requested enough that I put it up here. It was unexpected for me, but very amusing. And I like screen printing condoms so it’s win win. Haha.
Thanks!

I’m not the seller, but I did see that print of the kid facedown in a puddle of urine on Pounce the other night as recently sold!

Considering you only have 10 comments on this thread, I assume it wasn’t you who helped those sellers sell their gear. LOL You had very little traffic when those posts were made on here.
Sorry Susie! By October 8th, we had 8,639,558 hits. “LOL” – HK

Noadi has a chemistry set in her store. She made that? Really? By hand?
