This is a bit to casual for my Bald Eagle wearing days. I think I need a few fake feathers glued on for all of the Bald Eagle Balls and Weddings I attend.
So majestic. It really improves the looks, with the way it flattens out the head through the jaw and over the neck. Yep, thick, bulgy jaw-necks are all the rage.
I looked at the whole series.
I’m not sure if these are incredible or ridiculous.
I think I’m strongly leaning towards the latter.
Yeah. This is ridiculous. BUT. It’s one of few Regretsy posts that are actually executed well.
That’s some sweet felting. Too bad that poor girl looks like a giant, dull, dildo.
“It allows to read off characteristic features of birds headdresses and makes a real statement of what the wearer wants to represent.”
What does that mean? Is there a German word for it?
Well the eagle has flown on this one; but there is a hat in the collection I wouldn’t mind owning….I’m sure not disclosing that here lest one of you animals gets their paws on it first.
I like the second and third photos on the listing best, because her long hair makes it look like she has a hairy chest to boot. That’s no “bald” eagle!
Despite the artsy description all I can think when I look at it is ‘Is it a bird? Is it a plane? No! It’s SUPER ABSORBENT TAMPON GIRL! Our city is saved from the flood!’
#55 baha my mom framed a cool hunk of lint she pulled out of the dryer and hung it in the laundry room, she liked how it looked. wimzikal, indeed! (it was also the 70′s so there’s that for an explanation)
Thought at first the hair came attached to hat but not. I am disappointed. Could have been a “nice” reference as they were crafter in Nuremberg. (who catch the ref I buy you the hat)
“The collection was handmade in Germany and was exhibited in “textiles*selection 2003″ at the Academy of Fine Arts in Nuremberg” Nothing good happens in Nuremberg, apparently!
The best part about this is my name is Diana. When I look at her shop (called herediana) It’s as if she’s saying, “Here Diana, buy this $175 Bald Eagle hat.” HOW CAN I RESIST?
I’ve never seen an eagle wearing plum-colored lipstick outside their natural lip line to make their lips look bigger in the photo… What does that represent?
November 16, 2009 at 8:25 am
The genus is misspelled. DUH
November 16, 2009 at 8:26 am
Wow. Just….strange.
From the description: “illustrates a correlation between the wearer and the object. It…makes a real statement of what the wearer wants to represent.”
Correlation = STUPID
Statement = REALLY FUCKING STUPID
November 16, 2009 at 8:27 am
Oops, never mind – I’m the tard. No “Misspelling” tag here. :c p

It looks like she’s wearing a giant OB tampon over her head.
November 16, 2009 at 8:35 am
She looks like a human suppository to me.
November 16, 2009 at 8:35 am

Ah, I saw this a while back. Brings back memories of “OMGWTFISTHAT!?” and such.
November 16, 2009 at 8:41 am
The description is just as delectable as the hat — a superb example of illiterate, meaningless art school humbuggery. Brava!
November 16, 2009 at 8:46 am
Where in the galaxy would you wear this?
November 16, 2009 at 8:47 am
Those loose threads over her left eye would drive me ape sh!t crazy…..
Can I get it in ‘Barn Owl’, too?

$175. Are you freakin’ crazy? Looks like something from Monty Python.
November 16, 2009 at 8:50 am
Just because you CAN felt doesn’t mean you SHOULD.
November 16, 2009 at 8:51 am
Hehehe Jeffreyrcarey, I totally see it!!
Btw, I could have sworn I saw this on the FP awhile back
November 16, 2009 at 8:53 am
Back, had to lie down, felt ill.
November 16, 2009 at 8:53 am
somebody’s been watching a bit much “It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia”, though, that might give this a pass from bad to awesome.

you know, the first thought that came to mind was “cast fetish”… maybe because it’s white…

#20: Bald Eagle Hat? Have you a photo?
November 16, 2009 at 9:15 am
The cool thing about wearing a bird hat is that you can crap wherever you want.
November 16, 2009 at 9:30 am
She’s pretty hot, I’d like to see her shake a tail feather.
November 16, 2009 at 9:32 am
@ Stingray Charles: Yours i shipping, hope it’s in time for the next PT confo.

#21 ArtHarpy : I noticed, thanks!!
But I wanted Barn owl- or tawny owl at a push- those ears on the eagle owl look stupid, and I’d hate to look stupid wearing a hat such as this….

November 16, 2009 at 9:49 am
Why, exactly, would I not just buy a white balaclava for $20 even if I did want this look? Or less, it looks like on eBay.
November 16, 2009 at 9:49 am
HAHHAAAHAHAHAH @ #25!!!
…o rly? srsly.
November 16, 2009 at 9:50 am
#25 hahaha
BUT then sadly (or happily) some “crafty” etsian would just pick it up to preserve and make wimsicle jewelry from it.
November 16, 2009 at 10:09 am
#33: Yes, a nice bird crap broach would complete this ensemble. Would an “I Love Cock” purse be too much?
November 16, 2009 at 10:13 am
Q: What should you do when a bird shits on your car?
A: Punch her in the face.
Especially if she is a ridiculous felt wearing bell-end.
November 16, 2009 at 10:15 am
I fought her on the planet Zubex.
November 16, 2009 at 10:19 am
I’m confused. Is the hair part of the hat-thing, or is it the model’s hair?
Either way, scary.
November 16, 2009 at 10:20 am
I like the second and third photos on the listing best, because her long hair makes it look like she has a hairy chest to boot. That’s no “bald” eagle!
November 16, 2009 at 10:21 am
Yes, she does resemble a tampon! And notice how thrilled she is to wear such a marvellous creation!
November 16, 2009 at 10:28 am
Be the first on your block to look like a reservoir tip. HOT!
November 16, 2009 at 10:50 am
Birds of a feather….felt and sell on Etsy together?

And the ‘Convo me’ pic? Classic.

November 16, 2009 at 11:50 am
What cracks me up (other than the whole tampon resemblance) is the price! I can make one for about five bucks.

I’d like one in Dark brown please
November 16, 2009 at 12:12 pm
She forgot the reservoir tip.
November 16, 2009 at 12:31 pm
I have been sympathetic to the plight of bald eagles for years now, and have opened a new Etsy shop to help them. It’s called “Eaglerugs.”
November 16, 2009 at 1:36 pm
That is the funniest thing I have seen (today at least).
November 16, 2009 at 1:40 pm
Wearable sculpture? It’s a f**king ski mask. I get better ‘sculptures’ out of my lint trap.

Why aren’t we ALL wearing these? Oh yeah….
November 16, 2009 at 1:56 pm
Wear this if you need to give the sanitarium one more reason to cart you away!
November 16, 2009 at 2:09 pm
To be fair, one of my voice students, a very hip 12 year old, loves this hat
November 16, 2009 at 3:30 pm
Wow! For a paltry $175 I can walk down the street looking like a tampon. Can’t wait.
November 16, 2009 at 3:39 pm
If you visit the link you will note…
“The collection was handmade in Germany and was exhibited in “textiles*selection 2003″ at the Academy of Fine Arts in Nuremberg”
Thanks for another atrocity NUREMBERG!
November 16, 2009 at 4:53 pm
Are there such things as bird-furries? Just wondering.
Oh wait, this is the internet. Of course there are.
November 16, 2009 at 5:13 pm
I got a soft spot for this one:

only one problem, where have the sulphur crest gone?
oh wait I did not get quite right, should have written the first problem…

November 16, 2009 at 7:05 pm

“The collection was handmade in Germany and was exhibited in “textiles*selection 2003″ at the Academy of Fine Arts in Nuremberg” Nothing good happens in Nuremberg, apparently!
November 17, 2009 at 1:36 am
she really needs to do a felted beak to go with this. your shitty, tampon eagle costume wouldn’t be complete without a beak.
November 17, 2009 at 8:07 am
Holy mackerel – one of her other (equally bizarre) hats made it into a gift guide! There’s no justice in the world…

I just saw another bird hood by this seller on Etsy’s front page as part of a “Tribal Inspired” gift guide. No joke.
http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?ref=fp_gg_1&listing_id=24775952
Anyone who gives me this for a gift will be treated in the most tribal of ways.

November 21, 2009 at 4:42 am
You know what’s good about this? The money you save on sunscreen. Maybe she should have put that in the listing…
November 23, 2009 at 7:44 am
I’ve never seen an eagle wearing plum-colored lipstick outside their natural lip line to make their lips look bigger in the photo… What does that represent?

Well, now, if it had a vagina on top, with dredlocks bursting through, then….
December 9, 2009 at 7:28 pm
If this was black or grey would she look like a knight?
May 13, 2011 at 2:58 pm
175$…
Is that the price you gonna’ pay me if I wear this shit 1 time?
