OMG. i’m packing the car and my 2 year old right effin’ now. so do i tell tom-tom the nav-guide ethereal voice to find mittens the masturbatory bear or what?
LOL i saw this earlier when she posted the link for us, Helen…we were all waiting for some more material from you- i guess that flickr or whoever blocked it initially for inappropriate content-hahahaha. so she re-posted the Mittens painting w/ clone kitty over the crotch Sudabaki, please provide your updated photo, too!
Sudabaki, you rock! This one’s for you (to the tune of My Favorite Things):
Sudabaki, with you we are all smitten,
’Cause at the tar pits you found the bear “Mittens.”
You posed with him, and now we will all sing:
”Regretsy makes us do such whimsicle things.”
This is awesome, thanks so much for the laugh! The only thing that could have made it even funnier is if you happened to have been wearing big red mittens when you stumbled upon it.
LOL…nice PS work! That helps me cope with whatever unsettling “message” is intended for the viewer. Funny, because I usually like modern, confrontational art too—Oh, I mean real art.
I’m again reminded by the artist’s capacity for bullshit—as if a vaguely anthropomorphic bear and a –ahem- “barely” post-pubescent girl have any greater meaning than “Pedobear”? Someone, please ‘splain to this simple prude.
Loved this when I first saw it. The similarity is astonishing!
Heh. The author of the original painting has the greatest attitude towards whimsicle fuckery too:
“And no, I won’t be offended if you buy this painting as an ironic Regretsy-inspired gag gift. I’ll think it’s great. I mean, I love this painting, but I’d be a bit daft if I didn’t get why people think it’s ridiculous.”
Yay!! Helen posted it! Thank you! It makes the magic moment last just a bit longer.
I would have looked up at the bear if I would have remembered. As for the original pose, well I would have slid off and landed on my ass had I tried. Not to mention that I was with my mother, her husband and my kids. Thankfully they already know I’m a tad bit crazy.
Skully, I’m so pleased and flattered to have my very own song. Thank you.
OMFG. This is the first time I have actually spit something out from laughing so hard. No more coffee at the computer for me….at least while I’m at Regretsy.
I love how in “real life”, the Mittens the Bear statue is all casual with his (presumably it’s a male bear) leg hanging off the side of the rock. Lalala… I wonder what happens next…

Now someone who’s really graphic savy should be able to make her naked with a mitten.
December 28, 2009 at 1:43 pm
Regretsy pilgrimage time!
December 28, 2009 at 1:49 pm
Is this photo geo-tagged? I want to find it!
I love how she has her hand on his paw in anticipation.
December 28, 2009 at 1:51 pm
Dude. Totally. Freaking. Awesome.
Too bad she’s wearing pants in the picture, though. Heh.

I’ll second that! What is the location of this shrine?
December 28, 2009 at 1:54 pm
OMFG! Too much! I am so glad I wasn’t drinking anything or I’d have to buy a new computer.
Makes me wonder if the artist who did this was also working off of a photo; maybe from a dare or perhaps she had too much peppermint schnapps?
If you go out in the woods today
You’re sure of a big surprise.
If you go out in the woods today
You’d better go in disguise.
For every bear that ever there was
Will gather there for certain, because
Today’s the day to molest the girl in mittens.
December 28, 2009 at 1:55 pm
I’ll meet you there – with mittens on.

December 28, 2009 at 2:57 pm
OMG! She went to Whimsicle Fuckery Land!!! I want to go too!! I hear the “say what” roller coaster ride in a giant metal vagina is da bomb!
December 28, 2009 at 3:02 pm
Fae – Thanks! Now that’s funny!
December 28, 2009 at 3:06 pm
I love a good crime scene shot.

You didn’t pose like the woman in the painting? I would have. Oh, wait… no I wouldn’t.

That made my beer come out of my nose, which really hurt, but that is great!
December 28, 2009 at 5:59 pm
I can BEARLY contain my pleasure…
December 28, 2009 at 7:22 pm
Yay! Saw this earlier. Not quite the original pose, but that is a GOOD thing!

“The author of the original painting has the greatest attitude towards whimsicle fuckery too”
Well, OK–the painting still creeps me out in a big way.
