Oh shazaam! These are really nice. I have no hope since mine were taken by small children with crap in the picture. I can’t even imagine what the grand prize winners are going to look like. These are actually beautiful.
Oh, the blue cargo net skants are fabu. And the pose is slaying me – all the pretentiousness of some of the Etsyians in one little picture. Fan-fucking-TAStic.
i’d say “garden lady” wins this round b/c of the beautiful background “staging” going on in there…
plus she has the regretable etsyan pose…so doesn’t number 1 though LOLL
OMG sitting here making my boyfriend wait to see the winners. Fortunately he is laughing although he keeps saying this is a side of me he has never seen….
All these pics are amazingly skantastic.
Wait till I show him my skants. That’s a side of me…
….Nana’s sitting here laughing so hard there are tears rolling down my cheeks…DH looked over my shoulder and said “those kids will sell anything won’t they”…..I’ll explain later when I quit laughing! You guys really just made my whole week!! Thanks!
Texchanchan, I had the same problem after trying on a bunch of my shirts as skants. It made me immune to the atrocity and started me thinking, “not half bad!”
Clevercat: You photoshopped a merkin on a gnome and he is just now thinking you’re strange? (thanks for that, by the way). These are great, congrats to all!
Oh I am SO honored my skants are here!!! I hope the FBI can’t tell who I am by my distinguishing body marks…they have experts in this kind of identification.
Wow maybe I’ve been spending too much time on this site, but some of these really look wearable. Nicer than what I go to the store in half the time. Even though I missed the contest, I’m now fighting the urge to go see if any of my tops are skant-able, despite the fact that I am pretty sure it wouldn’t work on me.
Ok, so I will probably get thumbs down on this, but I think the blue crochet looking one is almost kinda cute. Beachy. Which makes me smile because Germany is freezing balls right now.
So damn shimsical!! Everyone who believes in faeries is going to want a pair (ridiculous spelling of the word used deliberately since it is ridiculous to believe in them) .
Is anyone willing to start a pool with me on how soon one of us will actually see a real live person dressed like this in the real live world? I swear it’s only a matter of months, maybe a year tops, before we are seeing this on People of Wal-Mart. And I think the pool should include not only how soon, but a geographic area.
My money is on Woodstock, NY and vicinity, 3 months or less. (I used to live there. Maybe even have seen this before?)
I would bet on the suburbs of Los Angeles myself. I saw a lot of weird wearings when I lived out there. It’ll probably show up at “go fug yourself” before “people of walmart.”
Is it my imagination, or is the person in the top left picture Marnie MacLean, and then the one below her Jennifer Hansen? I’m now eagerly waiting for the crocheted skants pattern to show up on Stitch Diva.
I like the bottom ones, because they look somehow “right”. Place your bets on Las Vegas, people, because I’m rolling with this new trend! People already think I wear strange stuff.
January 29, 2010 at 6:44 pm
grey gardens, you inspire…
January 29, 2010 at 6:44 pm
LMAO! Okay that first one is cracking me up! The shawl, the arm warmer, the hoodie skants, crazy socks, heels, and that POSE! Fan-TASTIC!
January 29, 2010 at 6:45 pm
Brilliant, so funny. You rock, guys!
And Helen, you rock more.
January 29, 2010 at 6:45 pm
OMG I can’t stop laughing!!! I know people who’d wear something like the blue stringy one
January 29, 2010 at 6:45 pm
the first looks like what would be the product of etsy puking. I love the over use of EVERYTHING! especially the shall.
January 29, 2010 at 6:46 pm
the first pic is so good it looks like no sarcasm at all. those armwarmers are SERIOUS
January 29, 2010 at 6:46 pm
the necktie on the hammer pants is killing me, and i hope that is a bear I see behind her bush..
January 29, 2010 at 6:49 pm
garden lady in blue is quite nice! and also like the top left of course! but they’re all craptacular!!
January 29, 2010 at 6:49 pm
I’m loving the first one.
January 29, 2010 at 6:49 pm
You gurlz are WORKING those skants poses! Much nicer than the lot of Etsy models we’re subjected to!
January 29, 2010 at 6:49 pm
Oh shazaam! These are really nice. I have no hope since mine were taken by small children with crap in the picture. I can’t even imagine what the grand prize winners are going to look like. These are actually beautiful.
January 29, 2010 at 6:50 pm
Middle left could be in a Saks Fifth Avenue catalog!
January 29, 2010 at 6:50 pm
I am laughing so hard that I am crying. OMG
January 29, 2010 at 6:50 pm
The top right looks like a REAL pair of skants. This is priceless!
January 29, 2010 at 6:51 pm
patty, they really do! i wish i had that gal’s long and skinny legs!
January 29, 2010 at 6:51 pm
S-s-s-s A-a-a-a F-f-f-f E-e-e-e T-t-t-t Y-y-y-y
Safe, Skants!

January 29, 2010 at 6:52 pm
OMG AWSOME those are mine! top right white ones are mine
Sweeeeeeet.
January 29, 2010 at 6:52 pm
LOVE the one with the hood!
January 29, 2010 at 6:52 pm
looks like number one is engaging in some interpretive dance as well…
January 29, 2010 at 6:53 pm
#18 Eruanna: Congratulations! Those are awesome!
January 29, 2010 at 6:53 pm
The yellow ones actually look great on her legs – just a shame that it looks like the crotch exploded.
There’s a hippie market near here where I could quite easily expect to see numbers 4, 5 and 6.
Numbers 1 and 2 get huge kudos on the strength of their posing! Your skants are completely ridiculous and you still make them work!
January 29, 2010 at 6:53 pm
The blue netty ones actually look like a well put-together outfit. You could /almost/ wear that out.
I can’t stand how great these all are
January 29, 2010 at 6:54 pm
I can’t believe the best is yet to come! These are skantabulous, you guys.
January 29, 2010 at 6:55 pm
The first model is obviously from the same modelling school as “green sleeves”:

#18 Eruanna : can i please transplant your legs onto my body? i’ll gladly give you mine…lmfao
January 29, 2010 at 6:56 pm
i think the blue one is the winner
January 29, 2010 at 6:57 pm
ohh ohh ! we all have our own favorite uber-winner. how sweet!!
January 29, 2010 at 6:58 pm
Work it, girls, work it! *two-fingered whistles and applause*
January 29, 2010 at 6:59 pm

January 29, 2010 at 7:03 pm
These are fantastic. Very Etsy-esque. The first one and the garden one could easily be seen in a featured seller’s shop, haha.
January 29, 2010 at 7:04 pm
OMG sitting here making my boyfriend wait to see the winners. Fortunately he is laughing although he keeps saying this is a side of me he has never seen….
All these pics are amazingly skantastic.
Wait till I show him my skants. That’s a side of me…
January 29, 2010 at 7:04 pm
I like the one with the camo skants and the tie belt. Very classy
January 29, 2010 at 7:06 pm
hahah my bf is also sucked in – he’s like – what the- and we’re also re-watching tropic thunder so i’m cracking up like a lunatic.
January 29, 2010 at 7:06 pm
And you are all such beautiful women besides! This proves that you look fantastic in ANYTHING
January 29, 2010 at 7:06 pm
Was not disappointed with this batch. Yep, priceless fuckery
January 29, 2010 at 7:07 pm
yes. yes. yes! i am enjoying looking at blue ones — they have a very Bollywood feel to them.
January 29, 2010 at 7:08 pm
I’m glad I’m not the only one who ventured outside wearing skants.
My family is getting annoyed with me because I keep laughing and reading comments out loud.
January 29, 2010 at 7:11 pm
Wow! These are level 4 skants!
January 29, 2010 at 7:11 pm
Good grief! After looking at those excellent pictures, sweaters are starting to look good upside down. A new fashion sensation.
January 29, 2010 at 7:12 pm
….Nana’s sitting here laughing so hard there are tears rolling down my cheeks…DH looked over my shoulder and said “those kids will sell anything won’t they”…..I’ll explain later when I quit laughing! You guys really just made my whole week!! Thanks!

#26 razberries, haha, sorry I think I better keep em
January 29, 2010 at 7:18 pm

Lord help me.

January 29, 2010 at 8:22 pm
Best laugh I have had in a long time. I gotta say, the comments you sent in with your skantabulous works of art were hilarious.
January 29, 2010 at 8:29 pm
You are all SOOOO elegant! Extra applause for 1 and 3… FABULOUS modeling!
January 29, 2010 at 9:34 pm
@#2:
I am right there with you on that. If that upper left one were on project runway, it would so totally win.. and I would agree.
Hell of a lot better than some of the shit on there now. (Maybe Ping could take some lessons?)
January 29, 2010 at 9:37 pm

January 29, 2010 at 9:51 pm
Holy shit! If I had the bod for it, I’d totally wear a couple of those! Especially the yellowish one at the top and the teal fishnet thingy.
This is the best contest EVARRRRRRR!
…
(Yes, I wrote “evar” instead of “ever.” Get ovar it.)
January 29, 2010 at 10:15 pm

@#51:
Actually, Im kinda diggin that one too.
Isnt it awesome that regretsy peoplez can “make it work”?
January 29, 2010 at 11:17 pm
Awesome!!! Lovin’ the droopy hood skants ;P LOL!!
January 30, 2010 at 6:22 am

I would bet on the suburbs of Los Angeles myself. I saw a lot of weird wearings when I lived out there. It’ll probably show up at “go fug yourself” before “people of walmart.”
January 30, 2010 at 10:09 am
Is it my imagination, or is the person in the top left picture Marnie MacLean, and then the one below her Jennifer Hansen? I’m now eagerly waiting for the crocheted skants pattern to show up on Stitch Diva.

April 19, 2011 at 10:21 pm
Dude, I legit want the upper right hand skants…
