Wait – the tail is an actual pocket? Well that changes everything! I wasn’t going to spend $80 to look like a stupid hipster dipshit, but I need a pocket to keep my fingerless gloves in.
PROTIP: LITTLE RED RIDING HOOD DOES NOT HAVE A FOX IN IT
Hah. #1, I’m glad I’m not the only one that noticed the placement of the fox head. Notice the nice “chalice” shape… I will now call this little number the Fox Box Skirt.
What skirt? I can’t get past the terrifying model whose heart-shaped lips look like they’re puckered up to give the kiss of death! Her head looks like a manequin but her body looks real.((quiver)) Hold me.
Trying to understand why the PayPal address is in the listing. I mean, that’s kind of already set up when you choose it as a payment method. Are we being encouraged to send her random payments without buying anything? Like a donation to genius?
I cannot be the only person who is totally creeped out by the face of the person who is modeling this “skirt”? I kept hoping it was a mannequin, but it looks like it is indeed human.
And I’m absolutely amazed that this shirt is so unflattering that it actually makes a borderline anorexic look fat.
I know I’ve seen this somewhere before, and I remember the comment about it using a fox instead of a wolf. Was this featured on Regretsy before, or do I just spend way too much time on the internet?
Notice the designer brags about the dress being in Elle. Except that it’s clear Elle is praising, not the dress, but the yellow clutch being forced to hang out with the dress.
#23 Patty has been abuducted by an alien :
It is indeed not a bubble skirt, but a badly done waistband. And the hem is a bit clumsy too. Perhaps attaching it to balloons and letting it float away (with a note in the tail pocket) would be a fun kid’s project.
I love that the designer calls everything in her shop SUPER RARE! Since she makes them, doesn’t she decide how rare they are? Or is someone else making them too, just not very many?
And as for the new avatars, I can’t figure out how to choose my own. Anyone wanna tell me how? I wanted one before and was too dumb to figure it out, but now I’m extra motivated to get a new one.
My one of a kind snot rockets are “SUPER RARE” as well. However, I’m not sure I can charge $80 a pop for them on etsy. I’m certainly going to try, though.
#25 Monstrosa: How would you like to be standing outside and see THAT float into your yard? *eeek!*

Obviously all the mistakes are ‘ironic’ so that the hipsters won’t be embarrassed to wear it. Sure, honey. And if this is New York Couture I’m fucking Mayor Bloomberg.
Model/mannequiun appears to be sucking on a ping pong ball with makeup done by a 4 year old.
I guess “the tail is an actual pocket” would be great if your hand were a lobster claw.
I can’t decide what’s scarier- model or outfit. Methinks model.
Hmm..def. doesn’t look like a wolf, I was
somewhat a “hipster” myself, but in LA they’d think
it’s a little kooky. Which would make this skirt to fit
right in.
Haute couture (French for “high sewing” or “high dressmaking”; pronounced [oːt kutyʁ]) refers to the creation of exclusive custom-fitted clothing. Haute couture is made to order for a specific customer, and it is usually made from high-quality, expensive fabric and sewn with extreme attention to detail and finish, often using time-consuming, hand-executed techniques. Couture is a common abbreviation of Haute Couture, which refers to the same thing in spirit[1].
Okay, so here we have room for very good lesson in “getting over yourself”.
Put this skirt on a regularish cute model girl. It might not be to everyone’s taste, but it would just be a possibly cute skirt with a fox on it.
But add an alarmingly skinny model with unflattering, and perplexing make-up and styling, and the whole thing goes directly to pot. And not the good pot: terrible, terrible, skunky hipster freak couture kife.
I quite like the cute fox skirt. But teaming it with a fetish-PVC hood? And the unhuman makeup? And calling it Red Riding Hood? Unfortunate genre mash here.
I can’t get past the real model that looks like an anorexic mannequin. Yeah, everybody will be huffing and puffing when they see you in it………because they are hyperventilating from laughter!
I was positive that was a mannequin until I noticed that one of her boobs was about 4 inches higher than the other.
And, just for the record, the wolf in the 3 little pigs story was the one that did all the huffing and puffing. It’s hard work trying to blow down those houses.
However, it’s probably safe to say that there is some degree of huffing and, maybe even some puffing, going on here. I just don’t think the wolf is the one doing it.
It took me a while to get past the boob-oppressing, UnflatterUltra500 Sparklebra she had on, but then I had to call over the spouse — he read the title and asked ‘So why the hell is there a fox on it?’ Then he noticed her face, and when I said it wasn’t a mannequin he made a frightened noise and backed away.
SUPER RARE! is going to be my new response to everything. “How ya doin’?” “SUPER RARE!” “Have you seen my shoes?” “SUPER RARE!” “How do you want your steak?” “SUPER RARE!” I can almost picture the Say What! guy yelling it…
Okay, granted it’s horribly made, it’s mis-labeled, and it’s donned by someone more anorexic than Lindsey on a binge. Here’s what I’m puzzling over: the stunning latex hooded capelet and super-wide elastic band waisted bustier aren’t included, so WHAT in my closet (or any) would “go” with this?
“…when I said it wasn’t a mannequin he made a frightened noise and backed away”
Haha! When I first saw this, I was certain it was a plastic doll. Looking closer, there’s something decidedly “bodysnatchers” about that face.
The red pocket-tailed wolf, (classified by the IUCN as “super rare”), has been hunted to the point of extinction for its fur, which is widely used by hipster dipshit designers to decorate skirts for pasty anorexic models.
I now sit in my Brooklyn apt. listening to Santogold, drinking PBR 40′s & chain smoking American Spirits, while browsing regretsy on my macbookpro. The fact that I wouldn’t wear ANY of this shit makes me feel like I should turn in my hipsterdouchebag badge somewhere.
It also says A LOT about your brand if you have Audrey Kitching modeling it.
**only because I live in LA. I am quite used to seeing 5 ft 10 inch tall girls that weigh 95 lbs, but only with bolt-on silicone DD cups and fish lips*
What is wrong with this? I kinda like it. If only I can find a wolf costume for my other half to wear as he hits me from behind while moaning “Grandma what big teeth you have”. You guys have no imagination is what it is.
December 30, 2009 at 1:31 pm
is that a fox on your crotch or are you just happy to rip me off for $80?
December 30, 2009 at 1:35 pm
Oh Jeyzuz that’s ugly.
And I’m even a hipster dipshit.
If there’s Jeffree Star involved, it’s 95% likely to be ugly bullshit.
December 30, 2009 at 1:35 pm
If it doesn’t come with the plastic bag to put over my head I’m not buying it.

I know I’m “old” (okay, I’m 40), but I read stories to my kids when they were young.
It’s “Little Red RIDING HOOD”, not “Little Red Weird Wolf”.
And she wasn’t red, her cloak was red. Not the wolf, the cloak with a hood, hence the name “Red Riding Hood”.
I also thought a “bubble skirt” meant it had some kind of weird hem at the bottom that made it poof out.
But I did say I was old, so maybe my mind is going.

The fox mouth matches the mannequin mouth in its heart-y goodness. They are trying to work a subliminal angle here. I think?
