do any of those items detach from the platter? can they be used? even if they were detachable, though, this would still be some junk drawer dumped out onto some sticky surface
holy crap, upon closer inspection it appears as though all of these items have been shellacked..making them NOT detachable or usable…what the fuck. I’m angry.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Verisimilitude
Furthermore, I don’t even see how it relates to the definition of that word. If someone would explain that to me, that would be great.
Looks like she dropped a bunch of her shit on top of one of those containers that markers come in (like from Costco). $110?!? Whatever he/she is smoking, I want some to get this weekend started.
After looking in her shop, though, the pen & crayon one would be pretty awesome for my studio- if it were a clock instead of a mirror, and i thought it wasn’t something i could hot-glue together myself.
Another thought – there are an awful lot of razors in this piece. How do those constitute “found objects”? You don’t just FIND that kind of thing. Unless by find, you mean “bought and used”. Ewwwwww.
#6, I agree with you and I don’t understand how this in any way represents “the quality of being real”/ or “like the truth”. And what do the circles denote in this whole proposed quality of verisimilitude? I don’t get it. I think “truthiness” would be more accurate if we are looking for analogy: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Truthiness
But, personally, I think the following is a more apt description: (yes!) craptastic!
thank god for the close-ups, because now i can see that the dark, cylindrical things next to the razors are rollers – for a second i thought they were old tampon tubes!!
also, this thing has toothbrushes! are they used too? b/c i think that’s almost worse than used razors….
PixenKristen – unless you think the quality of truth can be found in the toiletries section of the local Walmart, then, yeah, that SAT vocabulary word totally doesn’t belong in the description of this whimsicle collage of junk that she found in the guest bathroom.
The name should be changed to “shit I found lying around and my glue gun was hot already so I decided to slap together this pile of shit” mirror. If someone buys this, they need to have their head examined
When I first saw it, I thought it was going to be a commentary (albeit a bit underdeveloped one) on our society’s obsession with hygiene and beauty and how that feeds into a disposable culture in which we’re constantly throwing out all the cheap plastic crap that we use to primp and preen. That would be kind of a cool thing to do.
No menstrual cups or tampons or the like? Well, there’s one plus! Just the one, though. The piece as a whole looks like the ~*~aRtIsT~*~ upended the rubbish bin from a girls’ dorm and poured a little sealer on the pile. No points for ‘verisimilitude’.
Someone needs to take seller’s glue gun away…and that clear shit she liberally drenches it all with. Pretty sure some of the “found objects” were found at Oriental Trading Company, iParty, or both. I collect ducks and know cheap places to get the small not-quite-rubber ducks… http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=33666552
(yeah, I’ve seen all these guys)
Apparently a whole family is involved in making these monstrosities…their profile page is worth a laugh:
“Hopefully, each viewer will appreciate a glimpse into our hearts and home, and capture the inner need planted within each person by the Creator to create.”
DucksNew: Doesn’t everybody? I’m pretty sure it’s a requirement to have either an abundance of dicks or an abundance of vaginas to get an etsy account these days.
#50 thisiswhyihatepeople, honestly, I’ve thought about making vag and peen related stuff for my shop simply because it sells. That’s probably why a lot of people do it. But some take it WAY WAY too far. As Helen has so lovingly shown us.
the only thing I can say is “no no no no no no no no no” in the voice of Spongebob when he gets a star taken away for being bad at Miss Puff’s boating school.
I spend half my time cleaning clutter like this out of my master bath…why on earth would I PAY to add germs and junk to that chaos? Insanity, pure and simple. If it sells, maybe I’ll have some incentive to declutter again, glue gun in hand.
Verisimilitude: the appearance or semblance of truth; likelihood; probability
Truth #1: This appears to be shit.
Truth #2: There is a likelihood that anyone who buys it is an idiot.
Truth #3: There is a distinct probability that the “artist” is off her rocker.
Of course she “found” all of this stuff. The mirror is from a compact she found in the trashcan, and after that, she kept digging and found those great flossers. “Hmm, what other shit can I find around my house and trashcan to glue to a shitty old platter I FOUND in my attic?”…”rollers, CHECK, razors, CHECK, old tubes of lipstick, CHECK, smushed flowers I found under a box…nah, that’s going to far….OH WHAT THE HELL…CHECK!!!”
#69 VGB: No worries, just check your nose in the mirror, if it’s bleeding, pull off one of the spongy yellow hair rollers and stuff it up your nose. Wah-lah, problem solved.
I’m strangely compelled by this mirror and the seller’s whole shop. If I had a ridiculous amount of money to spend, I’d buy all the mirrors and create a “Wall of Verisimilitude.” And then never leave the house.
Helen, you MUST add a “View this in a Room” for this one!
This reminds me of the crazy guy that lives here. He drives a pickup truck literally COVERED in teddy bears chained to his truck. And I mean BLANKETED. They’re black from old age and you can smell him a mile away. Don’t know what color his truck is.
Her banner says it all. If you look to the little drawing on the left, it originally said crack house. All she did was cross out the ck and write ft above it. I am thinking the original spelling is still the case.
This “DIVA” platter is a “DNA” platter with all the hair and saliva on those razors, floss picks, hair curlers and tubes of lipstick. Can u just picture the home of the person who made this POS – I’m just hoping there isn’t another platter being made of used q-tips, tampons and cosmetic puffs.
You know, I have a whole bag full of old cosmetics and razors etc… Now I know what to do with it all, but on mine I am going to add glitter and a fuzzy vag! WHIMSICLE!!

“What’s the word of the day Regretsy kids??”
verisimilitude
that’s right!!!
Now pick a prize from Aunty Helen’s rize box…
Yes, there’s enough vaginas to go around….don’t fight over them
@108 TheBlueKraken – Damn you Kraken!! I was starting on the road to recovery after the image of hairy ass in the butt shield – but no – you just had to remind me. Now I’m going to buy this mirror – rip off one of the hair infested razors and slit my wrists. I am. I’m going to do it and it will be you fault Kraken.
I have a great idea. Everyone from Regretsy should gather a few whimsicle pieces of crap they have laying around. Then we need someone with time, hot glue, and clear goo. We send the crap to the brave soul to make a wonderful, crafty whatever, then auction it for charity.
In the interest of verisimilitude, you claim this is made from a “plastic platter” when the description clearly says it is made from a “metal container lid.”

It is a violation of Regretsy’s Terms Of Abuse to call out other Regretsy losers by pointing out spelling errors. Thank yew. Bobwhite. regretsy admin. This thread has been closed.
WTF? Why is this avatar shit so complicated on WordPress?!?! Why can’t I just click a damn button and upload a photo?! I’m not gonna spend 3 hours fucking around on that gravatar site. I’ve cleared the cache like 5 times, waited 10 minutes, signed up for this and that.
Bah. Screw it. I’ll just keep the bald shoulderless little white dude. It’s the white guy from the Say What painting wearing the Bald Eagle hat, m’kay??
It’s funny you picked Bebe, because one of my two casting choices is Vicki Lewis, and they were in at least one episode of Talk Radio together. COSMIC!
Kamikaze-go-in Straight To Hell
November 22, 2009 at 1:57 pm
But of course! We should offer the role of VGB to Bebe, I really did have my heart set on Robbie (WHAT?! He’s freakin gorgeous! and he’s got “heat” atm, which is only good for the movie). Now of course, the lead…Stingray, the man himself…your turn.
Well, okay fine, you can have Robbie. I feel sort of sorry for him anyway – I think being in a little weird indie movie is just what the doctor ordered, post-Twilight.
Here are a few choices for Stingray: David Bowie, Christopher Walken, Gary Oldman, Max Schreck, Bruno S, Willem Dafoe, and Hugh Laurie. Unfortunately Max Schreck is dead, which could pose difficulties.

OH! js. oh. How to put this delicately? Ryan Reynolds? Taye Diggs? I prefer older, not inter-generational. I mean, I AM walking off with him in the end.
Hmmm… yeah, I kind of forgot you were in the running for the kiss at the end of the film. Or maybe I just “forgot.” See, originally I thought you were a girl. Not that there’s anything wrong with you not being a girl. Lots of fine people are not.
oh, so confusing… I thought Kami was a girl. I don’t know why, I just did.
I figured with a name like Paul you probably were a dude. Or at least a person in a purple hat.
I was visualizing the final scene being kind of like the end of this video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HTPko-aXvJM except the motorbike is towing a 5th wheel full of crap featured on Regretsy. And then there’s a giant bonfire. But you can add some car chases and explosions if you like.
November 20, 2009 at 9:05 am
are there curlers on there? omg
November 20, 2009 at 9:06 am
and floss picks. OY
November 20, 2009 at 9:06 am
do any of those items detach from the platter? can they be used? even if they were detachable, though, this would still be some junk drawer dumped out onto some sticky surface
this boggles my mind.

Do you think she used the razors on those balls before gluing them down? Then I might see how she chose the name “DIVA” for this…

Looks like somebody raided the dollar store for art supplies. At least there’s no tampons in there.
November 20, 2009 at 9:09 am
oh yeah. All the stuff looks used!
November 20, 2009 at 9:10 am
Somebody learned a new word today! The word, not the definition.
November 20, 2009 at 9:10 am
yeah….WHAT!? I’d like to also know what the hell connection that word has to the ‘mirror’
November 20, 2009 at 9:10 am
There’s another problem with this platter. It says it’s a large mirror, but actually it’s a small mirror surrounded by a large amount of crap.
November 20, 2009 at 9:11 am
Looks like she dropped a bunch of her shit on top of one of those containers that markers come in (like from Costco). $110?!? Whatever he/she is smoking, I want some to get this weekend started.
November 20, 2009 at 9:12 am

Calophi: you hit the nail. I couldn’t care less what surrounds a mirror, all I ever see is myself; but this one’s too damn small.
November 20, 2009 at 9:14 am

Kamikaze: Oh, I still think it’s fabu.
November 20, 2009 at 9:24 am
I don’t think she found any of this stuff. I think she got most of it at the dollar store.

Phew Stingray.

It looks as though I could catch something from it. I hope it comes with antimicrobial soap.
November 20, 2009 at 9:27 am
And what’s with the “girly” tag, I could easily replicate this with garbage I got laying arou……nevermind.
November 20, 2009 at 9:30 am
Kamikaze: I am more confused about the “cincinnati” tag than the “girly” tag.
November 20, 2009 at 9:30 am

But “verisimilitude”?? Whah?
November 20, 2009 at 9:33 am
It’s sellers like this that make me say, “I could do this…” and consider setting up an Etsy account to get people to buy my trash.
November 20, 2009 at 9:33 am
Calophi: I’m not.
November 20, 2009 at 9:34 am
Helen: apropos of nothing, try a handful of chocolate covered raisins mixed in with your popcorn. Delicious! But I repeat myself.
November 20, 2009 at 9:34 am
hmm this scream tetanus shot to me… used razors,what looks like sucked on candy. and tooth picks, did she raid the dumpster??/

And I’ll dedicate it to you, too.

I think I see some pubes stuck in there.
November 20, 2009 at 9:47 am
Orlana, put “whimsicle” and “fuckery” in the tags (or “f**kery”)…
I just went over to OTC’s site and saw several things I have also seen used in items on Regretsy within a couple of minutes looking.
Kamikaze, that’s frightening. Why would someone need a fake penis in an apron?
November 20, 2009 at 9:48 am

Did this person have an abundance of fake dicks laying around? Holy shit lol
November 20, 2009 at 9:49 am

I think the ginger kids with the neon bodies at the 12, 3, 6, and 9 positions really bring the peice together for me.
@ #7 moontreestudios: I agree! Though I am really surprised that there aren’t any….and a little diappointed….just a little.
November 20, 2009 at 10:15 am
Oh, exactly what I have been looking for!! A display of garbage for my wall. WOW!
November 20, 2009 at 10:17 am
Can I break the razors off and kill myself after buying it?
November 20, 2009 at 10:18 am
Oh please no beqi!
November 20, 2009 at 10:22 am
OMG Ducksnews – I can’t believe “leapinchubb” would put her face on her profile. Talk about someone who is cock-eyed.
November 20, 2009 at 10:25 am
I considered buying this, but I need a little bigger mirror to make sure my bald eagle hat is on straight.
November 20, 2009 at 10:27 am
Verisimilitude: likeness to truth.
Large mirror? No- Small mirror and large hideous pile of “stuff”.
Oh fuckery, I’m starting to understand the “artist”, kill me now…
November 20, 2009 at 10:27 am
I wonder if the seller is a ‘Twilight’ fan?

November 20, 2009 at 10:57 am
Sweet, since there are bouncy balls craftily applied…I can drop it and it won’t break…meaning I save 7 years of bad luck!!

My luck it will bounce right back at me and break my nose….:(
November 20, 2009 at 11:01 am
Tampons. It needs tampons. Then it would totally be worth $110.
November 20, 2009 at 11:02 am
And I’m betting the razors are used. Biohazard, anyone?
November 20, 2009 at 11:05 am
I think I see Flossers on the outside of the platter.
I’m beginning to think I went into the wrong line of work. $110 for a pile of trash???

Helen, you MUST add a “View this in a Room” for this one!

That is clearly nothing more than a fat lot of (yes!) unhygienic garbage. And ugly to boot.

November 20, 2009 at 11:32 am
This says “large mirror” and it isn’t. I mean, I might consider buying if it was a bigger mirror…
November 20, 2009 at 11:33 am
Pretty sure the $110 price tag is because she dropped $108 at the dollar store to buy the sheer amount of stuff she needed to make this.
November 20, 2009 at 11:37 am
This reminds me of the crazy guy that lives here. He drives a pickup truck literally COVERED in teddy bears chained to his truck. And I mean BLANKETED. They’re black from old age and you can smell him a mile away. Don’t know what color his truck is.

Oh, wait, I get it – it’s not “DIVA” mirror, it’s “DNA” mirror.
Now it makes perfect sense…

I just learned a new word today.
Wish I hadn’t.
November 20, 2009 at 2:03 pm
This “DIVA” platter is a “DNA” platter with all the hair and saliva on those razors, floss picks, hair curlers and tubes of lipstick. Can u just picture the home of the person who made this POS – I’m just hoping there isn’t another platter being made of used q-tips, tampons and cosmetic puffs.
November 20, 2009 at 2:10 pm
You know, I have a whole bag full of old cosmetics and razors etc… Now I know what to do with it all, but on mine I am going to add glitter and a fuzzy vag! WHIMSICLE!!
November 20, 2009 at 3:01 pm
verisimilitude? what the hell does that mean?
My eyes and my brain have just exploded!
November 20, 2009 at 3:19 pm
However…I do think this would look much better if she had put sequences on it.

November 20, 2009 at 3:34 pm

November 20, 2009 at 3:36 pm
#108
Really, would you rather see that WITHOUT the ass shield??
November 20, 2009 at 3:37 pm
I have no idea what this is but its hurting my eyes
November 20, 2009 at 3:39 pm

Now pick a prize from Aunty Helen’s rize box…
Yes, there’s enough vaginas to go around….don’t fight over them
November 20, 2009 at 3:45 pm

November 20, 2009 at 3:45 pm
okay >prize< new laptop has freaky keys..not applying enough pressure
November 20, 2009 at 3:46 pm
Kamikaze, thanks for your avatar assistance this week, have you a whimsicle weekend.
November 20, 2009 at 3:50 pm
my husband just looked at this…he said: “it looks like a pavement pancake”
November 20, 2009 at 3:50 pm
STINGRAY! You know I’m merely flirting with the rest….and your most welcome. Have a wonderful weekend too trendsetter.
November 20, 2009 at 3:55 pm
er, you’re, so much for book smarts
November 20, 2009 at 3:59 pm
vangoghbabe your right.. i wouldn’t want that guys ass to be without the shield. what would he cover his “exit only” with?
November 20, 2009 at 4:00 pm
This one actually makes me feel angry.
November 20, 2009 at 4:01 pm
So, is this supposed to do double duty as a mirror and a platter?
November 20, 2009 at 4:02 pm
And if it is a platter, what type of food would you suggest I serve on it?
November 20, 2009 at 4:06 pm
#127, I’d serve meat laden with e-coli!
November 20, 2009 at 4:40 pm
This is what you get for the hoarder in your life
November 20, 2009 at 5:35 pm
I love “I am bean” ‘s husband… he always has the best comments.
November 20, 2009 at 6:02 pm
@108 TheBlueKraken – Damn you Kraken!! I was starting on the road to recovery after the image of hairy ass in the butt shield – but no – you just had to remind me. Now I’m going to buy this mirror – rip off one of the hair infested razors and slit my wrists. I am. I’m going to do it and it will be you fault Kraken.
November 20, 2009 at 6:18 pm
That’s crap, from start to finish.
What the FUCK are you supposed to do with this heap of shit?
November 20, 2009 at 6:21 pm
FUUUUUUUGLY. Who the heck would put this on a wall?
November 20, 2009 at 8:34 pm
It reminds me of when I helped a friend clean out her bathroom cabinets. Well, minus the creepy little crap gnomes.
November 20, 2009 at 8:39 pm
I have a great idea. Everyone from Regretsy should gather a few whimsicle pieces of crap they have laying around. Then we need someone with time, hot glue, and clear goo. We send the crap to the brave soul to make a wonderful, crafty whatever, then auction it for charity.
November 20, 2009 at 8:46 pm
Also, I can’t get that gravitar site to work for me…
November 20, 2009 at 10:05 pm
In the interest of verisimilitude, you claim this is made from a “plastic platter” when the description clearly says it is made from a “metal container lid.”
Totally different thing. Totally.
November 20, 2009 at 10:50 pm
Circles of Hell might be closer to the truth.
November 20, 2009 at 11:02 pm
In the Regretsy movie, who does Stingray Charles finally kiss before the credits roll? Van Gogh Babe or Kamikaze? And what actors play them?
November 21, 2009 at 12:25 am
I think I see the Lindbergh baby in there.
November 21, 2009 at 12:45 am
Found objects? I assume they were found in a biological waste disposal?
Also, I call false advertising for crossing the ‘CK’ in CRACK off on the banner.
November 21, 2009 at 3:11 am
@ 48: and she has 500 sales! i didn’t know there were so many people out there who find “naughty aprons” whimsicle!

At least there’s no vagina on there.
November 21, 2009 at 9:59 am
@ 151 that’s what you think. Maybe upon ordering you’d get a freebie vagina made of razors and doll hair…

Testing avatar again…
November 21, 2009 at 10:53 am
WTF? Why is this avatar shit so complicated on WordPress?!?! Why can’t I just click a damn button and upload a photo?! I’m not gonna spend 3 hours fucking around on that gravatar site. I’ve cleared the cache like 5 times, waited 10 minutes, signed up for this and that.
Bah. Screw it. I’ll just keep the bald shoulderless little white dude. It’s the white guy from the Say What painting wearing the Bald Eagle hat, m’kay??

November 22, 2009 at 12:26 pm
Kamikaze – great choice! how could anyone NOT love Bebe Neuwirth?
(I’m choosing to ignore your 2nd casting suggestion)
November 22, 2009 at 12:33 pm
I know, right? I couldn’t agree with you more. Bebe it is then.
November 22, 2009 at 12:34 pm
Oh, and so’s you know, if you change your avatar, you need to wait 5 minutes and clear your browser cache to be sure to see it.
November 22, 2009 at 12:40 pm
It’s funny you picked Bebe, because one of my two casting choices is Vicki Lewis, and they were in at least one episode of Talk Radio together. COSMIC!
November 22, 2009 at 12:42 pm
Aaargh, I mean NewsRadio – http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/NewsRadio
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vicki_Lewis
November 22, 2009 at 12:59 pm
Erm, Vicki Lewis? I mean, I’m not the handsomest dude on the planet, but…not that she’s not lovely person.
Oh, who am I kidding?
OF COURSE I’m the handsomest dude on the planet.
November 22, 2009 at 1:03 pm
I am humble and self-effacing. My other casting choice is Sheila McCarthy. My main criteria were that they be redheads and kind of awkward and dorky.
November 22, 2009 at 1:04 pm
Oh, did you think I was choosing Vicki Lewis to play you? No, she’ll be playing me… unless Sheila McCarthy gets the role. Or maybe they’ll alternate.
November 22, 2009 at 1:15 pm
I always think you are talking about me. And j’adore Sheila McCarthy.
November 22, 2009 at 1:49 pm
We can offer the role to Sheila first then. Now we have to finish casting everybody else… except I think Helen should play herself.
November 22, 2009 at 1:57 pm
But of course! We should offer the role of VGB to Bebe, I really did have my heart set on Robbie (WHAT?! He’s freakin gorgeous! and he’s got “heat” atm, which is only good for the movie). Now of course, the lead…Stingray, the man himself…your turn.
November 22, 2009 at 2:08 pm
Well, okay fine, you can have Robbie. I feel sort of sorry for him anyway – I think being in a little weird indie movie is just what the doctor ordered, post-Twilight.
Here are a few choices for Stingray: David Bowie, Christopher Walken, Gary Oldman, Max Schreck, Bruno S, Willem Dafoe, and Hugh Laurie. Unfortunately Max Schreck is dead, which could pose difficulties.
November 22, 2009 at 2:20 pm
OH! js. oh. I thought they were all dead.
November 22, 2009 at 2:26 pm
Say what?

November 22, 2009 at 2:29 pm
not quite. And I forgot to add John Malkovich and Donald Southerland. I hope we can fit them all into this movie somehow.
November 22, 2009 at 2:36 pm
OH! js. oh. How to put this delicately? Ryan Reynolds? Taye Diggs? I prefer older, not inter-generational. I mean, I AM walking off with him in the end.

November 22, 2009 at 2:47 pm
haha- when you say acting…… and when you say experience…. ?
But hey, I’ll do it if I get to do the sunset thing with ya, Kami!
Where do I sign?

November 22, 2009 at 3:00 pm
Hmmm… yeah, I kind of forgot you were in the running for the kiss at the end of the film. Or maybe I just “forgot.” See, originally I thought you were a girl. Not that there’s anything wrong with you not being a girl. Lots of fine people are not.
November 22, 2009 at 3:05 pm
JS- say moi?- Sorry, it’s late here and I just got home….
What’s the plot line again? Who gets to do the kissing? can it be swapped for a naked car chase?
Just askin’.
p

November 22, 2009 at 3:09 pm
oh, so confusing… I thought Kami was a girl. I don’t know why, I just did.
I figured with a name like Paul you probably were a dude. Or at least a person in a purple hat.
I was visualizing the final scene being kind of like the end of this video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HTPko-aXvJM except the motorbike is towing a 5th wheel full of crap featured on Regretsy. And then there’s a giant bonfire. But you can add some car chases and explosions if you like.
November 22, 2009 at 3:12 pm
Once and for all:
Kamikaze: Dude
pauldodo: Dude
js: Not Dude.
Still up for the sunset pauldodo? ;
November 22, 2009 at 3:12 pm
Seriously, we need a new post.
November 22, 2009 at 3:19 pm
hey, anything’s possible in Regretsy land, js…..
But yeah, I am a dude in this life.
Kami- you playing with my heart again?
I still want the naked car chase.
