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

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.
