You know, this reminds me of a fairy tale too; “The Girl Who Put Shit on Her Head and Thought it was a Hat”.

You know, I’ve been worried that there’s been a lack of whimsicle faerie fuckery lately. WAH-LAH! My prayers have been answered!

This is totally stunning. I can see me wearing this to all my Holiday parties. I think I will make my own, you know clean out my crafting closet an all.

Picture 3… she’s lucky the hicks in that trailer didn’t drag her back to their cabin in the hills and introduce her to their deformed family.

The alleged beauty of this piece aside, I thought the point of the thumbnail photos were to show the item from other angles.

I suppose, seeing this thing slightly tilted up brings its inner beauty to the outs-

I can’t do it… I just keep laughing.

From the smaller picture on facebook I had thought it was a penis on her hat. I think I’m disappointed to see it’s only an ugly feather.

Why ELSE would she be prancing about on a dirt road in her undergarments. With heels. All she needs is a Kool hanging out the side of her face, with about 3″ of ash precariously balanced, whilst clutching a Colt 45 in the other hand–whether I mean beer or a gun is up to you to decide.

I’m more disturbed by the pink teddy in her shop. SHE’S WEARING IT. I wouldn’t want someone to pre-wear my undies and she’s clearly not wearing anything underneath it, which gives me the heebie jeebies.

#9 A fascinator is a real word. It’s a small hat like thing that clips on to your head. Posh Brits and the like wear them to races.

That said, even the craziest posh Brit wouldn’t wear this to the loo!

Ew! that thing in #31 NinjaGato’s post DOES look like there’s food on it. I’d lay odds it’s hot sauce from Taco Bell, too.

NinjaGato, her stuff is recycled “vintage” which means it’s been pre-worn before she even put it on. I do understand a squick reaction at other people’s underwear. Though personally I’m good with washing machines for cootie removal purposes.

This shop also puts me in mind of the GTOs (Girls Together Outrageously), a 60s band produced by Frank Zappa.
Who they were:
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_GTOs
What they did, with pictures:
globalia.net/donlope/fz/related/Permanent_Damage.html

They had some association with the Plaster Casters, rock groupies who made plaster casts of their conquests’ penises…inspiration, perhaps, for many of today’s Etsy crafters. And so the circle of life is completed.

granted once you wash them the cooties go away, but I’d still know that someone elses vadge was cradled in my vintage underwear. That alone is enough to creep me out. I’m cool with all sorts of vintage just not undies.

I know what she’s saying…like in Midsummer Night’s Dream…..

Puck:
And jealous Oberon would have the child
Knight of his train, to trace the forests wild;
But she perforce withholds the loved boy,
Crowns him with flowers and an over sized clip that almost looks like a cap depending on how you wear it.

ahhhhh. I love the Bard.

#33 – that particular one is my favorite (pom-pom fascinator) not so much because of the aesthetics, but because it would appear the model is trying to strangle herself and end it all right there.

These have to be the creepiest models I have ever seen. Almost wonder if they were bred for this purpose and kept in captivity. And forced to wear undergarments from 1980’s bridal showers.

I’m certain that the floral adornment is either plastic or “silk”, so how’d she find one that’s mouldering and rancid-looking?

On the upside, the entrancing fabric will compliment nearly every item in my wardrobe.

Forget the shiteous woodsy hair clips, there’s something scary as hell meandering across the ceiling in most of her photos. We may not be able to see it but her models are totally freaking!

“meandering”? I don’t think I want a meandering hat. That kind of shit needs to stay in Harry Potter land. Here in the real world I’d prefer a hat that stays where I fucking put it.

This hair clip inspires me so much I wrote a two haiku:

Put this hair clip on
If you have always wanted
To be a fairy

So go meander
Through woods where no one can see
The shit on your head.

A colourful rag on ones head does not make a fascinator! And only one angle for her pics does not help this in any way.

“It reminds me of a fairytale, wandering through the woods, seeking out adventure and mystical creatures …”

So she’s been in the woods molesting fairy creatures? That explains a lot.

I have little tolerance for cutesy. This fucking cutesy fairy shit brings out the same sort of latent homicidal rage in me that the cutesy Comic Sans font does. One of these days I’m going to see some ethereal Bo-Ho fucker tacking up a Comic Sans sign advertising a poetry reading or some shit and I swear I’m going to go all Patty Hearst.

Can somebody please explain to me why sellers put three almost-identical views of an item on their listings? Left, right, and front views I could understand, but not . . . three left views. (If I were crazy enough to buy this) I’d want to know what it looks like from the other side, since it presumably does not look like a cap.

I love the Persian rug on the floor of the room, it makes it look classy and totally negates the 1880s unfinished basement look of the rest of the room.
