Back in the late 1990s, I signed up for a pet costume contest. I dressed my Rottweiler up as Richard Simmons. I used glitter paint and a grey tank top.
Aside from the “upside down anarchy symbol”, this is what the shirt looked like when my Rottie got through with it.
He never did forgive me for that costume and I’m still paying off the pet therapy bills.
i know i’m looking at danny devito and judy dench, but in my head, that shirt is perfect for chris farley in the chippendales sketch w/patrick swayze.
and now, i can’t get that outta my head. send help.
What used to be on the front of this shirt? Was it made into another project, equally horrid? How long before this scrap was used to test her fabric markers? How much longer before she thought “Gee, you know, I bet someone would pay me money for this godawful thing”?
Also, her favorite material is “boys,” and nothing more. I do not even know how to respond to that.
I thought the point of wearing hideous marker-scribbled, cut-up shirts was that they’re DIY and therefore make some sort of personal statement. Besides, crust punks don’t have $10 to spend on anything, let alone a shirt they could have found in a dumpster.
(Anarchy in the UK/Sex Pistols)
I am an anarchist,
I am a teen artiste.
I drew on my shirt and
I cut a hole in it.
I wanna sell loads of old clothes.
‘Cause I’m making these fucked up tees.
#82-I’m thinking that if they ironed it, there would be nothing left to the shirt except for the hems. Although…if that were the case, they would probably make it into some kind of “totally cool anarchist post-punk necklace”…which kind of negates itself when you think of it.
You know what, this is actually ringing true to that of a Teenagers Wardrobe. Clearly no moth balls around… hence the amazing natural decay-design of this garment.
March 4, 2010 at 1:32 pm
That’s taking “style” to a hole ‘nother level.
March 4, 2010 at 1:33 pm
Not Judy Dench. My god, she’s a dame!
March 4, 2010 at 1:34 pm
T-Shit.
March 4, 2010 at 1:34 pm
wow. All I can say is thank god they’re not selling pants.
March 4, 2010 at 1:34 pm
Oh yes. I could totally rock that in a very DeVito kinda way.
March 4, 2010 at 1:34 pm
So I can go around the house and find ruined t-shirts, color on them with markers, and sell them…who knew?
Bonus points for the elephant in the pic.

The only feeling this piece-o-crap could evoke for me would be, “brrrrr!”
March 4, 2010 at 1:35 pm
If it’s so cool and that’s what she would do…why isn’t she modeling it?

I usually have my kid iron his clothes after he draws on them. How else is one supposed to look presentable?

This shirt is bringing out EMO-tions I didn’t even know I had. *sniff*
March 4, 2010 at 1:37 pm
Even though Danny Divito lost the “Who wore it better poll” – he is smiling because he found the other ear!
March 4, 2010 at 1:37 pm
♥ how the arms go the wrong way on DeVito
Perfect casual wear if you’re expecting that chest-buster alien.
March 4, 2010 at 1:38 pm
Great profile statement
I LIVE IN KANADA NOW IM NOT SURE HOW MUCH IT COSTS TO SHIP TO AMERIKA BUT WHATEVE

I wouldn’t use this shit to shammy dry my minivan.
March 4, 2010 at 1:38 pm
Love DeVito holding the missing-ear-elephant. Cracked me up.
March 4, 2010 at 1:39 pm
Dear God! When I was a teen, I too, had badly green-fabric-painted anarchy symbols appearing from my lips! This is uncanny!
March 4, 2010 at 1:40 pm
The shirt was worth more before they modified it. T_T
March 4, 2010 at 1:41 pm
This could make for some interesting tan lines. I guess. 1985 called. They do NOT want their shirt back. . .
March 4, 2010 at 1:43 pm
From another description in her shop:
…show the worl doyur beautiful. it’s not hard dummy.”
I couldn’t say it better…
March 4, 2010 at 1:44 pm
@pussdaddy–he sounds like a teenager, or are there a lot of stupid people in Toronto? Canadians, fill me in here…
March 4, 2010 at 1:44 pm
Perfect for styling WHAT? My nipple hairs?
March 4, 2010 at 1:44 pm
The only way this is an improvement on the original shirt is if it was a “Team Jacob” shirt.
March 4, 2010 at 1:45 pm
It must smell like teen spirit.

March 4, 2010 at 1:52 pm
After a bit more looking, I now see that my previous statements referring to the seller as a “she” were in error. It is in fact a “he.”
This makes the favored materials even more disturbing.
March 4, 2010 at 1:54 pm
Now I am too depressed to comment. Think I’ll go cut a hole out of the middle of my shirt and mope about it.
March 4, 2010 at 1:54 pm
Just one more piece of holey shit on the million mile etsy highway.
March 4, 2010 at 1:57 pm
Oh… those were lips hmm, I thought something was booby-trapped.
March 4, 2010 at 2:01 pm
Where are all the ‘shops at, people? This bullshit is begging for them.
March 4, 2010 at 2:03 pm
Wondering how the hell can I get the image of Danny DeVito out of my mind’s eye so I could sleep tonight!
#12, any takers on the photoshop yet?
Skully? yes?
March 4, 2010 at 2:04 pm
even back in the “flash dance” era, nothing was this hideous…
March 4, 2010 at 2:05 pm
Well all I can say is Junior is gonna find their ass in a sling when mama goes looking for the rag she uses to dust the piano.

March 4, 2010 at 2:30 pm
I think somebody needs to warn Michelle Kwan about this guy.
March 4, 2010 at 2:35 pm
What bothers me more than the crapcraft is the overuse of the anarchy symbol. Geesh, is nothing sacred anymore?
March 4, 2010 at 2:42 pm
I like how they end with “Its cool.” Like theyre not only trying to convince us but also themselves.
March 4, 2010 at 2:43 pm
Does it disturb anyone else that Bronc Drywall knows what Danny DeVito looks like shirtless?
Oh wait. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DiENvhp9ddY

March 4, 2010 at 3:12 pm
truly confused by the thumbs-down karma
March 4, 2010 at 3:17 pm
OMG, that will look so hawt with a cute mini skant and maybe some uggs.
March 4, 2010 at 3:21 pm
Yes! the perfect top to pair with skants. Lots of confusing holes.
March 4, 2010 at 3:22 pm

Skantalous?

Skankalicious.
March 4, 2010 at 3:41 pm
Donut just look like a shirt with a hole…:p
March 4, 2010 at 3:50 pm
Should have sold it as maternity wear. If you got all your shit hanging out perhaps everyone would think before rubbing your belly.
March 4, 2010 at 3:57 pm
Somewhere there’s a teen with feelings torturing small animals. :/

Just when I think etsy sellers have truly scraped the bottom of the barrel, the bottom of the barrel falls out and then they sell the broken barrel.
March 4, 2010 at 4:45 pm
I dunno guys I smell a troll.
Something about her description screams satire or joke. Not to mention this from her profile:

“No one will messs with you while wearing this, so mess with them.” …Because they’ll think you’re batshit insane.

If only there was a Regretsy of Flickr…
March 4, 2010 at 4:55 pm
Upon further investigation, reading through her Twitter and blog, Im 100% convinced this is all a joke.
March 4, 2010 at 5:03 pm
@#65 Eruanna, you’re probably right. I think she said it best on twitter when she said “wabwabwabwabwabwab”.
March 4, 2010 at 5:25 pm
I like how it ‘features a large hole’. That’s positive thinkin’ there.
I found a picture of the shirt before the frontectomy, and I think the hole is a vast improvement:

March 4, 2010 at 8:30 pm
With just a tad bit more sharpie work, the point of the shirt is revealed. (Note to seller: YOU’RE WELCOME)
http://twitpic.com/16odpd
OKAY YES, I HAVE A FIXATION, shut up.
March 4, 2010 at 8:43 pm
Or you could stick a couple of bows on it, and some woolly stuff on the shoulders, and it would be a CUTE LITTLE LAMB.
March 4, 2010 at 9:11 pm
Awesome! Now I know what to do with all my husbands drooled up shirts….Keep your eye out, soon to be listed….now where are the markers and scissors?

*crosses her fingers and prays it’s a joke*
March 5, 2010 at 12:32 am
hm i have too #81… i have too…. the least they could of done was iron it

Awesome work #80 geektastic
March 5, 2010 at 5:33 am
These shirts are terrible in every way. Is there a way to anti-heart a shop?
I mean, not just ignore it or refuse to “heart” it, but can I actually mark that I strongly dislike a shop?
Maybe a little upside-down heart with a pentagram would show up on their page..

Say what?
Judy Dench looks prime.
You know what, this is actually ringing true to that of a Teenagers Wardrobe. Clearly no moth balls around… hence the amazing natural decay-design of this garment.
Oh weee wooo.
I wanna see Miley wearing this one!
