garage… uhmn, yeah, but she has malaise about how she titles her pieces, so what do I expect? Well, not that much… I’m also not that much when it comes to being impressed. I’m not feeling the “awesomeness”.
Seller has a +93% feedback, why am I not surprised.
wth is up with her title?!?! Is that supposed to capture my interest if I was an Etsy buyer? All I came away with was…. Say What?!?!
Ah, it’s ok; the item does all the selling for the seller. It’s so friggin awesome with all its clashing colours and patterns. It would definitely flatter my ass.
I’m totally down with the misfits, leopard print, and vinyl. With that said, I don’t like this. And what’s with her stance? Is she pretending to carry the paint cans behind her, i don’t know.
http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=17612380 <– if I were to have worn that back in my running around town being punkfuckingrock phase, my punkfuckingrock street cred would have been massacred, and all of my punkfuckingrock friends would have disowned me.
I think my douchebag exboyfriend who thinks he’s half alien would love to wear something like this. Of course, after we broke up he went and asked all my gay male friends to date him.
That or he’d totally try to get this chick to lend him some money. He gets older and they all stay the same age. Good match, I think. Her “I could give a shit about my titles” and his “I could give a shit about getting a job look at my emogothpunk poetry about menstruation and sex” would go so well…
- The nails hanging off of the tights. I think that would make it difficult to sit.
- The g-string/loin cloth over the tights/leggings.
- The belt over the g-string, but under the jacket.
In Her Description:
“Best believe If seen anywhere else,they have been copied,stolen,regurgitated,balh blah blue. -and best believe its not in your best interest to f!ck with me like that if I find out about it. Good day.”
Balh,blah blue is my new favorite expression- replacing SAY WHAT?
are people still pretending punk is dead? or alive? I can never tell these days with the kids and their obsessions with zombies and pirates and …hookers?
Listen dudes, the girls are probably 15, emo kids with that pretending being 1977 punks.
So what they are doing is not terribly wonderful, completely stuck in one style, and like what most emo kids do, a lot of shite, but at LEAST they are doing something and not just exploded in a corner of their house playing playstation and doing meth.
So go ahead kiddoes even if it is fugly I say. (but the shaddy construction and the size absolute zero : please forget about it, k?)
Anyone check out her profile? Quote:
“-ITS NOT ‘DIY’ IF ITS RIPPED-OFF FROM SOMEONE ELSE. Youre not an artist. Youre BS-slapping your “diy tags” on it,then selling it as if it were “One of a Kind Sorry idiot”
Tastefully this is one click away from the pink Walmart beanie being sold as “handmade” (for $9). I see a new entry in the “Not Remotely Handmade” category!
Oh and #29 Petite: Actually, I really agree with you (and all the sniping about her appearance is beyond uncool). But I also think if you can bitch & hate like a big girl, you can take public opinion like a big girl …
I would like this jacket it the lining wasn’t so god awful. And I don’t even hat leopard print. It’s just that this is such an ugly combination! Just because it’s “different” doesn’t make it punk.
All that aside, the ridiculous attitude and pretentiousness coming from her really kills all of it for me. Sorry, hun, I’ll make the jacket myself, and you can piss and moan for me “stealing” the design you clearly copied from something that’s already been out for years by Tripp.
Also wanted to add that while I do agree with #29, #35 has a big point, too. You want to act like a ass, you get treated like a ass. Her attitude is completely unwarranted. Speaking as someone who is “punk”, just because Sid is one of the biggest names of punk, it does not mean this is an appropriate way to act. It gives us all a bad name and you look like nothing more than a poser.
Seriously, no punk runs around screaming “LOOK HOW PUNK I AM!” It’s about not caring what others…
#46 Speaking as someone who is also “punk”, I agree with you.
This looks like what I see all the tweens and teens wear when they first get into the scene and think they have to prove themselves to be ULTRAPUNXROXXORS. Oh how it makes me giggle whilst I stab them.
Although her pants remind me of a lamp I had once. I miss that lamp.
Nothing bugs me more than teenage girls who think that they’re “punk” because they listen to Green Day and shop at Hot Topic.
The whole idea of this “ensemble” goes so far against punk ideals. Any real punk rocker wouldn’t buy something that was $70 and they wouldn’t sell one for $70.
I just read this girl’s profile, and find it HILARIOUS that the final word in the profile is “peace.” The bizarre ranting is indicative of a highly inflated sense of self-importance and a HUGE hunk of paranoia! Nothing which seems peaceful or socially conscious to be found in THAT pile of psycho-babble!
Does she think that she invented DIY gaudy-punk fashion? lol
#48′s daughter is right: YIKES!
Punk is what I was in the 80′s, and that was real and true punk! Today punk is nothing compared to back then. Kids these days are just lost and confused, and this is one person that proves it.
‘B!TCH YOU BEST NOT BE H8N ON MY GUTTERPUNK BLING OR ELSE I WILL CUT YOU AND THEN I WILL SICK MY LEOPARD PRINT MUTHAFUCKIN PARROT ONTO YOUR EYEBALLS BECAUSE I AM A SWASHBUCKLING MUTHAFUCKIN SEAMUTHAFUCKINFARIN PYRYTE BADAYSS’
I so totally just noticed that you all-capsed whilst I was all capsing *le sigh*
The Misfits have been muh favorite band since high school. I even have a little skull air freshener hangling on my rear view mirror (It hangs and dangles.. it hangles )
I say we tag team this mofo and make us some jackets. Yehaw!!
This “Pyrate” thing reminds me of a store in Berlin called “Pyrate style” that sells weird Adam Ant-style puffy shirts, hooks and leather pants laced on the sides.
As far as I’m concerned, “pyrate” is just like “vampyre”, “faery-faerie”, “chain maille” etc. — a way to try to gussy up a perfectly good English word that already exists. It’s like writing “shop” “shoppe”. It’s like spelling Alicia “Elyiecia” or something.
The chick’s attitude is amazing. It’s like no one ever did punk clothing before her. And the final “peace” is, indeed, priceless.
come on! A lot of 15 yo kids are like that. Weren’t you like that a 15? Thinking you were doing stuffs for the first time ever and being quite pretentious on some others? It is part of growing up I guess.
in my first comment I was too snarking along. Just trying to see a big of positive in all that. I was not trying to critic anyone or any comment posted on here. I totally agree that once you post your “creations” out there to be seen, you have to accept it all: the ugly and the good.
#68 — that’s true enough. But when I was a pretentious 15 year old (hell, a pretentious 35 year old I never threatened GBH to someone whom I thought was copying me. That’s well out of line, isn’t it?
@49- I would not call myself punk (I am prep with a touch of hipster), but I would definitely agree. I saw a documentary on the punk culture back in the day, and they were all about cheap DIY, crazy haircuts and there were even punk communal houses. I don’t think the people living in the commune maybe even had $70 to spend, lol, on frivolous things like this most of the time. To me, punk means cutting holes in your jeans with scissors and wearing old t-shirts and stuff, not high fashion.
#69 dangerousmezzo : that’s also totally 15 yo pretentious and possibly spoiled. I know a 15 yo girl who was really turning bad girl. She became emo and started playing guitar in a band, and they started to get a bit of success and it straightened her! Now, what they do is total shit as music and they are awfully pretentious but well, it doesn’t hurt anyone.
OMG – her profile! Is this the new? Should I stop pretending to be happy, well adjusted and service oriented? Because I think I could come up with much more entertaining threats.
hahaha I haven’t read the profile before. She is targeting one person apparently. Is her rant full of song lyrics or all the 15yo in USA are all speaking the same way?
And oops, clothing designers are not allowed to sell clothings for 200$ – is there a law for that? She is a lot of lol.
These young kids have no idea what punk was or is.
Its just mainstream. Pretty much everything is mainstream now. They think they are alternative, but its just soooo *senn that before* And their lifestyles dont even remotely resemble punk.
Oh, and while I am over at your flat ripping off your designs, could you and your camera get out of the crapper so I can use it?
I can just imagine the rest of the family sitting cross-legged in the kitchen waiting to get in there after lil pyrate daughter is done with DIY playtime.
I love how she modeled her Dollhouse purse in her laundry room. New photo tips for etsy sellers, be sure to get a shot of the washer and dryer with your item.
You know, I hate to say it, but if it weren’t for the lack of adam’s apple (which isn’t necessarily a lack of, since she’s wearing all the collars and her hair is constantly in the way), I would swear the model was really a guy.
That’s a pretty masculine face and she has no hips, though that may be the poor silhouette of these “biker” jackets.
When I was 14 I would have been categorized as “emo” (mid 90′s) and I can honestly say that I was a miserable little shit. However my hate was more directed inwards and expressed through crappy poetry and weird makeup. I would never have dreamed of threatening people.
so. my connections a little slow. im waiting for multiple scans for the image to clear and before i even see the snopes portion. i see the very blury outfit of.. something.. some awful red and black jacket, the model with black stringy hair.
i think to myself “that almost looks like michael jackson from his Beat It video. even the pants”
after the image clears with snopes and all i realize someone thought of this before me.
and i read the profile.. wow *sigh* i wonder why i bother trying to appear semi professional and sane. this just takes the cake..
nothing about her work.. its just some hateful rant full of venom and vitriol for anyone who may have a complaint about her service and possible “drama”
i think for now she’s on a list to NEVER EVER buy from. or at least until she grows up. the profile rant is totally unprofessional and crude
I love all the “kids these days” comments. Makes me laugh. Anyone young enough on here to remember our parents saying that to us? And us rolling our eyes and saying, “whatEVER Grandpa!!”
Um, okay.
What the hell is her rant about? The whole copycat rant?
Because she is a TOTAL rip-off of Toxic Vision, who ripped off punk in the 70s and hair metal bands in the 80s. It’s done. It’s nothing new. It’s fucking ugly. It’s a rip-off of a girl who actually has talent in what she makes. Just look at her shop, opened first and on Ebay for years:
I think the only think remotely “pyrate” about this is the amount of grog that must have been consumed for the “artiste” to think leopard-print leggings with jeweled lamp trim were anywhere near a good idea. I don’t know about the rest of you, but her threats are definitely scaring me- she might make me wear some of her fugly clothes, and that would truly be a fate worse than death!
“Waist band is a tiny bit uneven. No big deal, unless you’re a huge whiner or something”
If you’re charging $47 for stretch pants with zippers sewn on them, they should at least be good quality honey.
Question… is this girl pigeon-toed? Why is she standing like that in every photo? Maybe those shoes being 3 sizes too big are making it hard for her to stand properly.
#96 craftymrsk :
If you’re charging $47 for stretch pants with zippers sewn on them, they should at least be good quality honey.
~~~~~~~
I was thinking the SAME thing. I also got a huge laugh out of her fabric content descriptions. She mentioned “fuzzy-ish leopard print” in a belt listing. So, she doesn’t even know the fabric she’s using? How hard is it to learn what velboa is? I’ll bet money any cotton she uses she doesn’t wash first.
Yeah I didn’t think the profile would be that weird, but yeah… odd.. almost as bad as the one who goes on and on about how they’re the only person on Etsy who’s “officially trained” by a real Japanese artist to make kanzashi… I mean they go on and on about how great they are and how horrible anyone else who makes kanzashi are. People often end up making simular items. it happens. get over it. the end.
What I want to know is why this Motorcycle jacket is nearly off shoulder in the first picture. I like leopard print, stripes, vinyl, the Misfits…but not all at the same time. This is just too many patterns and materials – looks like she was cleaning out her sewing room.
Ok so apparently lots of people commenting on this didn’t bother to go to the listing and enlarge the picture because:
1. NOT a cold sore. Clearly a hot pink lip ring.
2. What nails on the tights? They’re little chains.
3. NO g-string. That’s the front part of the pants with the zipper…awful yes, but g-string no.
#80 – if you look at her other listings, you’ll clearly see that it’s a girl trying to show off her body for some attention. Ex. lots of belly and her in bras selling…

Oh no the entire store is like this…
November 11, 2009 at 10:11 am
The DIY tag is appropriate, since she(?) just finished painting the wall behind her.
Also, She (?) should dab some Abreva on that cold sore before her shift at Hot Topic.
November 11, 2009 at 10:21 am
What are the chances the person who buys this gets a cold sore?

hahaha I haven’t read the profile before. She is targeting one person apparently. Is her rant full of song lyrics or all the 15yo in USA are all speaking the same way?
And oops, clothing designers are not allowed to sell clothings for 200$ – is there a law for that? She is a lot of lol.

These young kids have no idea what punk was or is.
Its just mainstream. Pretty much everything is mainstream now. They think they are alternative, but its just soooo *senn that before* And their lifestyles dont even remotely resemble punk.

Joey Ramone, now you’re cookin’ with pyrex…in the garage.
Blah.
November 11, 2009 at 7:28 pm
Oh, and while I am over at your flat ripping off your designs, could you and your camera get out of the crapper so I can use it?
I can just imagine the rest of the family sitting cross-legged in the kitchen waiting to get in there after lil pyrate daughter is done with DIY playtime.
November 11, 2009 at 8:52 pm
Mmm… but are the size 12 pilgrim-buckle shoes included with the rest of the “awesomeness”?
November 11, 2009 at 9:26 pm
First time I’ve seen whatever in a title. It is so “Whatever”
November 11, 2009 at 9:30 pm
I love how she modeled her Dollhouse purse in her laundry room. New photo tips for etsy sellers, be sure to get a shot of the washer and dryer with your item.
November 11, 2009 at 9:42 pm
You know, I hate to say it, but if it weren’t for the lack of adam’s apple (which isn’t necessarily a lack of, since she’s wearing all the collars and her hair is constantly in the way), I would swear the model was really a guy.
That’s a pretty masculine face and she has no hips, though that may be the poor silhouette of these “biker” jackets.
November 11, 2009 at 9:47 pm
When I was 14 I would have been categorized as “emo” (mid 90′s) and I can honestly say that I was a miserable little shit. However my hate was more directed inwards and expressed through crappy poetry and weird makeup. I would never have dreamed of threatening people.
November 11, 2009 at 10:05 pm
so. my connections a little slow. im waiting for multiple scans for the image to clear and before i even see the snopes portion. i see the very blury outfit of.. something.. some awful red and black jacket, the model with black stringy hair.
i think to myself “that almost looks like michael jackson from his Beat It video. even the pants”
after the image clears with snopes and all i realize someone thought of this before me.
November 11, 2009 at 10:14 pm
and i read the profile.. wow *sigh* i wonder why i bother trying to appear semi professional and sane. this just takes the cake..
nothing about her work.. its just some hateful rant full of venom and vitriol for anyone who may have a complaint about her service and possible “drama”
i think for now she’s on a list to NEVER EVER buy from. or at least until she grows up. the profile rant is totally unprofessional and crude
November 11, 2009 at 10:22 pm
I love all the “kids these days” comments. Makes me laugh. Anyone young enough on here to remember our parents saying that to us? And us rolling our eyes and saying, “whatEVER Grandpa!!”

I thought it was a guy from the first shot. Maybe she’ll lighten up after puberty. Or a Snickers bar.
November 11, 2009 at 11:25 pm
Um, okay.
What the hell is her rant about? The whole copycat rant?
Because she is a TOTAL rip-off of Toxic Vision, who ripped off punk in the 70s and hair metal bands in the 80s. It’s done. It’s nothing new. It’s fucking ugly. It’s a rip-off of a girl who actually has talent in what she makes. Just look at her shop, opened first and on Ebay for years:

Somebody needs to slap the teeth out the back of this girls mouth..(this girl being the copycat)
November 11, 2009 at 11:56 pm
this little shit of a seller should be removed from etsy based purely on her horrible ranting profile
November 12, 2009 at 4:51 am
Faux punk. A real punker from the day wouldn’t be caught dead in that hot mess.
November 12, 2009 at 8:05 am
I love this but she is nuts. Mostly I would rock it for the crimson ghost. But I would wash it first. Well. her profile is really insane though.
November 12, 2009 at 9:15 am
WHAT HATH HOT TOPIC WROUGHT??????????
November 12, 2009 at 10:17 am
I think she actually meant to say “Pyrat”
November 12, 2009 at 10:21 am
I think the only think remotely “pyrate” about this is the amount of grog that must have been consumed for the “artiste” to think leopard-print leggings with jeweled lamp trim were anywhere near a good idea. I don’t know about the rest of you, but her threats are definitely scaring me- she might make me wear some of her fugly clothes, and that would truly be a fate worse than death!
November 12, 2009 at 10:24 am
Haaa.. the snopes bit made me wee myself a little
November 12, 2009 at 10:32 am
#93 then you definitely need this chic pants…crotch is black..hides wet spots

“Waist band is a tiny bit uneven. No big deal, unless you’re a huge whiner or something”
If you’re charging $47 for stretch pants with zippers sewn on them, they should at least be good quality honey.
Question… is this girl pigeon-toed? Why is she standing like that in every photo? Maybe those shoes being 3 sizes too big are making it hard for her to stand properly.
November 12, 2009 at 12:51 pm
Wait, this one is better. Especially the fourth picture. The skeleton on the jacket lookes eerily familiar.

what’s a pyrate?
November 12, 2009 at 2:22 pm
#98 i am bean: the best etymological answer would be “to burn a fixed quantity” which might not be a bad idea.
November 12, 2009 at 3:41 pm
I swear to god I saw this walking around Goodwill last week when I went in to find boardgames for my collector brother.

I was thinking the SAME thing. I also got a huge laugh out of her fabric content descriptions. She mentioned “fuzzy-ish leopard print” in a belt listing. So, she doesn’t even know the fabric she’s using? How hard is it to learn what velboa is? I’ll bet money any cotton she uses she doesn’t wash first.
November 13, 2009 at 8:06 pm
Yeah I didn’t think the profile would be that weird, but yeah… odd.. almost as bad as the one who goes on and on about how they’re the only person on Etsy who’s “officially trained” by a real Japanese artist to make kanzashi… I mean they go on and on about how great they are and how horrible anyone else who makes kanzashi are. People often end up making simular items. it happens. get over it. the end.
November 15, 2009 at 2:50 pm
That chick’s a dude, right?
And why is s/he standing in a garage? It looks like she’s being held hostage or something.
November 16, 2009 at 2:23 am
Sporting that should be a felony.
November 18, 2009 at 5:47 pm
Hmm, does anyone else get a “Jem” vibe off of this girl’s shop?
December 15, 2009 at 4:28 pm
She’s so punk she doesn’t care… But I’m pretty sure even Jerry Only would cry if he saw this. Or at least make fun of her.
December 20, 2009 at 10:54 am
What I want to know is why this Motorcycle jacket is nearly off shoulder in the first picture. I like leopard print, stripes, vinyl, the Misfits…but not all at the same time. This is just too many patterns and materials – looks like she was cleaning out her sewing room.
December 20, 2009 at 11:08 am
Ok so apparently lots of people commenting on this didn’t bother to go to the listing and enlarge the picture because:
1. NOT a cold sore. Clearly a hot pink lip ring.
2. What nails on the tights? They’re little chains.
3. NO g-string. That’s the front part of the pants with the zipper…awful yes, but g-string no.
#80 – if you look at her other listings, you’ll clearly see that it’s a girl trying to show off her body for some attention. Ex. lots of belly and her in bras selling…
August 15, 2011 at 11:47 pm
So, in browsing through the Etsy archives, as soon as I come upon this iTunes starts playing a Misfits song.
Regardless of my love of the band, this is hideous.
