Okay is she just built funny? Standing wonky? Or is the hoodie sewn too short, hiking her armpits up about her ears?

Is it the jacket that’s giving her such bad posture? Maybe they’re going for a 1920s retro pose, but it looks like the jacket’s constricting her into a hunchback.

She’s treating the clothes like men treat boats or cars.

This jacket is ugly. But I like the elf hat. I like the way ‘faery’ looks spelled with an ‘e’. But I have chosen the common ‘fairy’ spelling because I don’t want people thinking I’m a douche.

The jacket is not my style. But even if it were I wouldn’t consider buying it because you cannot see the front…all that hair is probably meant to hide a design flaw or something…

Attention sellers: do not let whoever is modeling your items completely distract from the item you are selling. Simple.

I agree #29 ihatecowls. I actually think this jacket is cute! I love the colour too. I once was on a train car with a load of folks with dreads and it was – ummm – pungent. But you know – when you buy something at the local mall God only knows who’s tried it on before you. And faery really should be spelled faerie.

But that said, if you cared what other people thought ya would’nt have em right? And the jacket isn’t that bad, kinda cute.

Spelling fairy with an ‘e’ is ok, so long as it’s spelled FAERIE. You know, properly.

I actually like the hoodie but as others have stated, it would be nice to actually see all of it rather than just the back and the hood. Instead of spending $90 on this, I’ll just make it myself, and better.

If someone said my hair was dirty I think I’d have a problem with that. That’s all I am getting at. It’s ad hominem because it is a part of of the person. It’s not a doghair hat or a crusty stained sheet. It implies the person is dirty.

And you’re 100% spot on… even to the degree that everyone thinks it’s funny until it hits too close to home. I was listing something in my shop the other day, and paused to consider how absurd it truly is (its literally a photo of the sidewalk). I laughed and listed it anyway. I don’t sell cowls, or owls, or fingerless gloves or cat perches, so who the hell is really going to be looking at my shop? But I did briefly consider its potential as a submission…

Well it’s just plain hubris to state this garment is perfect for a psychedelic dancer of any sort; I can think of at least three sorts who would hate it. Psychedelic dancers who can see, psychedelic dancers who can feel, and psychedelic dancers who can smell. Those of us called by the Muse of Psychedelic Dance (Tripsachord) are damn sick of getting abused by pseudo-hippie capitalist pigs.

The mesh diamond in the back looks assymetrical– it mocks me. Stupid clothes may come and go, but shoddy sewing is forever.
Speaking as a former white girl with dreads, there is nothing more ridiculous and sad than a white girl with dreads. You can have clean hair with dreads, though it takes a godawful long time to wash/dry them. Granted, many people probably do not care for them properly. But my hair is probably smellier right now than it was back then.

Hey, I wouldn’t necessarily want to share hoodies/hats with people with locks either…

Though, I’m a little neurotic and don’t like sharing hats with ANYONE; I know a ton of people (without locked hair) who’ve got piss-poor hygeine. Seriously guys, hairstyle and hygeine are not inextricably linked.

And while I’m here, the jacket is hideous. I kind of like the hood, but the cut/design is all kinds of weird, and I’m not a fan of the random mesh bit at the back. It’s like… a reverse Power Girl boob-window. It’s kind of perplexing.

One of the first clues we had that something was not quite right with mom was when her hair started looking like this.

Had she additionally taken to wearing this type of ‘jacket’, we probably could have gotten her diagnosed and started on the Aricept and Namenda a lot sooner.

Actually, spelling fairy with an “E” is wrong, and it’s *always* been wrong, in the way she’s trying to use it.

Read J.R.R. Tolkien’s essay on fairy tales, where he talks about the history and spelling of the word “fairy.” It is ONLY correct to spell it “Faerie” (never faery) IF you are specifically talking about the land/realm/country of Faerie. A person cannot be a “faerie.” the specific little winged sprites are fairies ALWAYS “f-a-i-r-y/-ies”.

Dreads can work very well on some people, and they can be maintained for cleanliness. The style is used successfully by many black people, who have that very kinky hair and don’t want to use heavy-duty chemical straighteners.

And often it’s used unsuccessfully by white hippy earthy types who don’t wash enough. The dirty connotation probably comes in there. Not that all white dread wearers are dirty, it’s just enough to be noticed as a trend.
