sudabaki, whoops about that broken link i posted and thanks…LOL
i didn’t even notice the ridiculous pricing on that one…and i LOL’d at *this* part of the description for it…

“This painting was originally $300 and is on sale for $100 because I am moving. ”

i guess she thought that made it a bargain, huh? she must have really needed some fast cash for her move or something, otherwise i don’t know why she’d offer such a “deep” discount on something that is so overpriced?…

This thing just has absolutely no merit about it. Theres nothing. I mean fuck what possesses someone to firstly create it and secondly think its good enough to sell.

And then because it on here it probably WILL sell in a few hours, and this stupid wannabe hipster whatever she is will think the painting was good, and not even realise she was on regretsy. Will probably think she had been on the front page or something.

Oh man this makes me angry!!!
