yokoo is a genius. and the absurdity of these glasses is fully intentional i’m sure. i want half the stuff in her shop. easy to make fun of? yes. better left unlisted? nope.
No one here said any of these things were “better left unlisted”. That’s a quote from Entertainment Weekly. If we took the position that people shouldn’t list or make things, we’d have nothing to make fun of.
Okay, this is going to be mean. And I know it is, and I am ashamed, and I’m sorry, and I’m warning you. But I can’t help it.
Does anyone else think that the avatar of this shop is reminiscent of an uncircumcised penis? with a face?
That said (yes, again, I’m sorry), she does have great talent for what she does-even though I don’t particularly like any of it. These ‘glasses’, however, are hideous.
These should definitely be listed. Otherwise, how would we know that pompoms are “informal,” whereas plain yarn-covered glasses are for more formal occasions?
Prince Charles is coming to town, and without Yokoo I might have made a tragic error in my choice of glassless eyewear.
Yokoo is yokoo. She’s very popular on etsy and does very well.
But I’ve never liked her stuff. That was carthardick.
And yeah, it looks like what Moi said.
Fake eyeglasses made out of yarn? Is this shit for real? And could she just try to smile? Even just a little bit so we can see that this isn’t some kind of government torture technique? She has a look on her face like even she thinks they look hideous.
See, this is the sort of photo/description combo that tells a story. Caterpillar idiot could learn from this.
Yokoo is wonderful, simply for existing. Thank you, Yokoo, for not explaining or justifying. For simply being a high end douche.
This is not a “look” that I would go for. But then again, I am not down with the funky-chunky knit, bowl-hair-do, uber-geek thing. As an accessory, I just cannot imagine that these spectacles would really ADD anything to ANY look. I can also not comprehend wanting to spend $65 to obtain these. Somewhere in Etsy-land, however, there IS someone who sees the magic. I just know it.
Ugh, thank you. I am so tired of people getting boners over Yokoo. All she sells are oversized, overpriced, impractical, super-simple knit crap made out of Lion Brand wool-ease (crappy, mostly acrylic yarn that is super cheap.) But because she has a bad haircut and quirky glasses, etsy (and apparently urban outfitters) freaking worship her. It’s hipster to look retarded.
Am I missing something? It seems like all she did was raid the Lion’s Club eyeglass collection box, pop out the lenses, and then wrap the crap out of those frames with cheap yarn. I don’t mind some of her other designs, but these seem lame.
#2Etsybitch: What are you talking about? Tampons at the dinner table? I always discuss MY menstrual flow with my family members…what’s wrong with that? It’s only natural.
Mom asks “How are you today?”
If I’m on the rag I usually say something like” Oh well, that time again, my uterus is cramping severely and the flow is like a red effing river”
I admire performance art as much as the next chick, but, seriously, that just looks stupid.
I know I’m totally out of touch, but wasn’t Yokoo the one that the Etsy staff were mocking at their Hallowe’en party? Or ironically saluting? Or circle jerking? Or whatever hipsters are doing these days?
I want to like her stuff because it’s edgy and I think I should or I’m uncool, but I have a hard time getting into her aesthetic. Mainly I can’t get past the haircut. It ruins everything else for me, I’m shallow that way, apparently. I’m distracted by thinking how pretty she’d look if she’d just do something more normal with her appearance, and wonder if her parents think the same thing… but then she wouldn’t be Yokoo I guess.
I really used to like this site, but now you’re picking on sellers & items that are actually really good — I think you should go back to making fun of inappropriate artwork, Twilight-painted shoes and mature keychains & leave talented artists like Yokoo alone.
Sorry, my comment really should have actually been directed more at the comments than the post itself– what bothers me most is the vitriol in the comments, not the fact that the post exists. You’d think that some of these people actually have Yokoo dart boards in their homes! The post was about the glasses– something that I’m sure even Yokoo would admit are silly– the comments should have stuck to making fun of the glasses.
Attacking her looks is just vicious, catty and VERY hurtful.
Yokoo isn’t “very popular on etsy” Jea, honey. Yokoo is shoved down our throats relentlessly by ADMIN on etsy. You know, that insular group of wannabe hipster fucktards who are impeding the ability of 95% of it’s sellers to sell their product because they’re busy featuring this pure shit 24 hours a day.
Even Elton John would look at these and pass, there are no lenses.
Oh shit – that was harsh. But true – she really is all over the place and her sales are absolutely nuts. There are tons of great knitters and crocheters making just as good stuff, so why aren’t they selling as much as Yokoo? It doesn’t make sense.
She’s a genius. She’s got Etsy featuring her at every turn, they are SO proud of their little creation- they made her, not her useless stuff.
I’ve never seen anyone wear a cowl, nor ever a body cowl.
She’s making a bunch of silly crap and laughing all the way to the bank. genius.
Re: #55 kate103 My comment was much more along the lines of ‘wtf?’ No vitriol spoken or intended & I’m standing behind that as my only chime-in: a big resounding ‘wtf? yarn glasses? no srsly?’
That being said, a wise man once gave me a great piece of advice about the art life. He said talent WILL get you noticed, but if you can’t handle potentially having yourself out there as a commodity to be bought/sold, praised/criticized, venerated/nitpicked, then you need to go find a different…

GONE! “Home> Error Uh oh! Sorry, the item you are looking for does not exist.” To quote Sally Fields, “Why? Why? Whh-yyyyyyyyyyyy?” Oh, right, cause they were crap. Nevermind.
Kate, which is it? First you say that you “really used to like this site” when it featured more “inappropriate artwork, Twilight-painted shoes and mature keychains”, now you say you hate when people make fun of other people’s work. Someone put a lot of work into those Twilight painted sneakers and vagina keychains that were featured on here, but you figure it’s okay to make fun of them as long as no one says anything mean about poor little Yokoo?
#63 — since we’re both female I’m not sure how this is going to work exactly… but I defer the actually being pregnant part to you. However, we are not naming the baby “Yokoo.”
Urban Outfitters was a lot cooler before it was located in suburban malls. And are they really going to sell things like these glasses? If she’s selling them for $65 on Etsy, they’ll probably be like $80 at UO.
Although they could be $0.99 and I’d still recoil in horror.
These comments are killing me!! #28 and #30 are too much!!!!
And let me just say that NO seller is “too hip” or “too cool” to take heat for producing over-priced crap and/or ugly/impractical/unattractive items. There are a lot of things which are popular ON Etsy because folks with this particular aesthetic and “look” are RUNNING Etsy. Not all of us buy into that aesthetic.
Ah, the old, “It’s all fun and games until you make fun of something I like!” canard. Mean is mean, making fun is making fun. Why should Yokoo be spared?
I guess maybe there’s not a thrift store in their area where they could just go buy a pair of eighties glasses and get their nursing home grandma to wrap them with yarn.
these comments are great! lol @ # 2 and # 24…
i look at yookoo and get hope that some day, somebody will discover me…then i realize i am not selling knitted glasses without frames for 65 bucks a pop.
i personally love urban outfitters and would be psyched if they wanted me to design for them!
Can’t say I like most of the stuff in her shop, including the glasses, but the fact remains:
whatever else she may be, and whatever you may say about her designs, scowl, and haircut, this woman is a marketing GENIUS. [I'm a little jealous, actually!]
Sar Sar: Whether or not she’s very popular or crammed down your throat…the fact remains she’s seen and featured a lot and sells a lot.
I don’t have a problem with her. I just don’t like her knits. Over priced, over sized and impractical.
I HATE THIS KIND OF IRONY!! even the model – do something that is nasty, ugly, horrifying, so outlandishly gaudy in the hopes of coming across really hipster.
PUKE.

November 8, 2009 at 11:13 am
Oh for crying out loud! Only someone that gets constant exposure can get away with selling this crap for $65. Her stuff is not that impressive. I have seen a lot of talent on Etsy that gets largely ignored. For the love of Pete….please give somebody else a chance!
eh yea I see her alot on the front page too with so much exposure. I doubt it will change really either.
Be nice to have that kind of popularity, but that probably wont happen cause I have an opinion and a mind of my own.
I’m not sure what hipster is, but if this is it, I’m pretty sure I don’t like it.
Nice how she’s so considerate of those with allergies and tells the content or blend her “yarn” is made of in only some listings. acrylic yarn gives me hives.
Now I finally understand…#57 and #58, thank you for clearing it up for me! I figured that I have only had a couple dozen sales because my stuff just didn’t have the “it” everyone is looking for these days. I am not a hipster and I don’t make crazy crap no one needs and then over charge for it, so ETSY admin is not jumping up and down in excitement to ram me down the throats of John Q Public. I absolutely promise that if I get made fun of on Regretsy (fab name, BTW), I won’t cry.
The glasses are $65, yes, but are we really going to go comment on every overpriced clothing item on the internet? Oh wait, only Yokoo, because we know she might read it and because hers is actual quality and therefore evokes jealousy. You don’t have to like her stuff but why the personal attacks? If you have the humor to write such rude, sarcastic things but not to see the fun in the glasses…

April 5, 2011 at 8:10 pm
80′s Benneton’s wanabe poster child. All she’s doing is ripping off an 80′s Benneton look and throwing a bunch of ridiculously overgrown knits over everything. Good for her, etsy loves her. More power to her, I don’t begrudge her that, but seems like they spend all of their time featuring her, when as someone else said, there are ton’s of way more creative sellers out there. It is about recognition, and her hair is what is most recognizable, since she plasters herself in every shot of every item she makes. Yup, time for Yokoo wigs. Yea. She gets points for consistency. Now someone explain her “boys pee pee when they see me” t-shirts…just gross. I think it is some 80′s throw back t-shirt. Wasn’t cool then, just gross now.
November 3, 2009 at 1:43 pm

November 3, 2009 at 1:43 pm

Dorothy Hamill is alive and well…and selling crap yarn glasses and foreskin neck scarves on Etsy!
Excellent!

Oh for crying out loud! Only someone that gets constant exposure can get away with selling this crap for $65. Her stuff is not that impressive. I have seen a lot of talent on Etsy that gets largely ignored. For the love of Pete….please give somebody else a chance!

Sometimes I think “Indie Rock” is klingon for “Ugly on Purpose”.

That said, it is lovely to see Velma from Scooby Doo utilizing her artistic side.

eh yea I see her alot on the front page too with so much exposure. I doubt it will change really either.
Be nice to have that kind of popularity, but that probably wont happen cause I have an opinion and a mind of my own.
I’m not sure what hipster is, but if this is it, I’m pretty sure I don’t like it.
Nice how she’s so considerate of those with allergies and tells the content or blend her “yarn” is made of in only some listings. acrylic yarn gives me hives.

Now I finally understand…#57 and #58, thank you for clearing it up for me! I figured that I have only had a couple dozen sales because my stuff just didn’t have the “it” everyone is looking for these days. I am not a hipster and I don’t make crazy crap no one needs and then over charge for it, so ETSY admin is not jumping up and down in excitement to ram me down the throats of John Q Public. I absolutely promise that if I get made fun of on Regretsy (fab name, BTW), I won’t cry.

I’m going to go out on a limb and say this girl has Asperger’s. I’m totally getting that vibe from her.

80′s Benneton’s wanabe poster child. All she’s doing is ripping off an 80′s Benneton look and throwing a bunch of ridiculously overgrown knits over everything. Good for her, etsy loves her. More power to her, I don’t begrudge her that, but seems like they spend all of their time featuring her, when as someone else said, there are ton’s of way more creative sellers out there. It is about recognition, and her hair is what is most recognizable, since she plasters herself in every shot of every item she makes. Yup, time for Yokoo wigs. Yea. She gets points for consistency. Now someone explain her “boys pee pee when they see me” t-shirts…just gross. I think it is some 80′s throw back t-shirt. Wasn’t cool then, just gross now.
