Regurgitate After Opening
Nothing says “Steampunk” like reduced fat Cheez Whiz and fake fur. It’s like something out of The Difference Engine!
Now if you’ll excuse me, the clockwork Robot is here with my Pop Tarts.

at least it’s light cheez whiz?
March 9, 2010 at 1:32 pm
I hope the “vibe” they feel is from some remaining radiation in that tube.
March 9, 2010 at 1:33 pm
How on Earth is that Steampunk? oh wait, its not- just another example of mis-tagging on Etsy.
March 9, 2010 at 1:36 pm
When your Cheez Whiz starts growing fur, it’s been in the fridge too long.
March 9, 2010 at 1:36 pm
For the love of Philly, take this one widout.
What the fuck is the point of Whiz light??
March 9, 2010 at 1:37 pm
File this one under “Steamjunk”.
March 9, 2010 at 1:39 pm
At least she’s honest & calls this ‘slow fashion’.
March 9, 2010 at 1:41 pm
Yeah but she’s not nice enough to label it more accurately: “fashion” for the “slow”.
March 9, 2010 at 1:42 pm
If I saw someone wearing this I would assume that they hadn’t been taking their meds… Yikes!!!
March 9, 2010 at 1:42 pm
I thought it said “stream junk”.
I am apparently illiterate.
March 9, 2010 at 1:46 pm
Um….NO.
March 9, 2010 at 1:48 pm
Don’t know about the rest of you, but I don’t like my scarves to double as a cat toy:

March 9, 2010 at 1:48 pm
Oh no no no no no. I thought I’d seem the worst of the crap on Etsy that claims to be steampunk but is just cheap crap with a few gears slapped on. This takes the cake.
March 9, 2010 at 1:48 pm
I always weigh my decisions on purchasing found-object-cobbled neckwear by asking myself “What Would Flavor Flav Wear?”
March 9, 2010 at 1:50 pm
http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=12572381
When you want you necklace to simultaneously say, “Kiss me!” & “Why, yes – I HAVE used *9* jars of cold sore ointment!”
March 9, 2010 at 1:50 pm
this person needs to put a lid on her artistic talent. . . Fur real. . .
March 9, 2010 at 1:59 pm
this gal has been on regretsy before- she brought us those craptacular “sex and the city” earrings…she’s just trying to uphold her name, i guess
March 9, 2010 at 2:00 pm
http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=20249689
WTF??
March 9, 2010 at 2:02 pm
nice argument against upcycling–anything.
March 9, 2010 at 2:02 pm
“Does the subtle sophistication of Flavor Flav’s neckware strike you as too stuffy? Tired of statement necklaces and eager to start begging questions with your jewlery? Then have we got the throat tickler for you!
March 9, 2010 at 2:02 pm
40 dollars….I have no words
March 9, 2010 at 2:03 pm
(a thousand pardons for not catching the earlier Flavor Flav reference. I was overwhelmed)
March 9, 2010 at 2:04 pm
oops, i take that back, wrong seller- but hey, her jewelry is oddly similar to this seller that was featured…
http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=13223660
March 9, 2010 at 2:08 pm
which seller’s sonny and cher earrings do you prefer? it seems that these two regretsy sellers have a lot in common…LOL

March 9, 2010 at 2:10 pm
Is this seller strapping bombs to their “necklaces”? Because that’s what I see.
March 9, 2010 at 2:10 pm
I spy with my little eye: crap, a small bomb and a crazy homeless person.
March 9, 2010 at 2:16 pm
This is the kind of jewelry they make you wear in the Seventh Ring of Hell.
March 9, 2010 at 2:19 pm
Television tubes are not Steampunk.
March 9, 2010 at 2:23 pm
This made my eyes hurt and it damaged my delicate sensibilities.
I need a fainting couch and I have to loosen my corset.
March 9, 2010 at 2:24 pm
Sometimes, one man’s trash is another man’s treasure. In this case, it’s still just trash.
March 9, 2010 at 2:28 pm
Oh, I get it….
It’s Cheez Whiz “light” and they put an actual light on it…ha ha…..funny…and you thought this was just random junk.
March 9, 2010 at 2:34 pm
ok this “cuff” (more like three-quarter length sleeve) just looks itchy and creepy…
http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?ref=vl_other_2&listing_id=11905782
March 9, 2010 at 2:43 pm
Someone needs to keep “myauntdebbie” out of the dumpster.
And the gin.
March 9, 2010 at 2:43 pm
The worst part is that the chain is kind of nice. And the electrical part is at least sort of “steampunk,” if not terribly attractive. But Cheez Whiz? Seriously? How can you look at a work in progress and decide what it needs is a Cheez Whiz lid?
(Maybe they didn’t. Maybe they actually designed this, and on the original hand-drawn design they’ve indicated where a Cheez Whiz lid will be required.)
March 9, 2010 at 2:46 pm
Stick some glue-covered plastic toy soldiers on there and NOW you’re talkin’. Plus you could charge like $30,000!
March 9, 2010 at 2:48 pm
Nothing says “art” like Cheez Whiz, a spark plug and some faux fur. I mean, really guys.
March 9, 2010 at 2:49 pm
A tribute to two North American traditions: processed cheese and television.

UGH! I just jumped out of my chair. WHAT IS THAT?
March 9, 2010 at 2:58 pm
She’s got one fugly cuff called ‘keep your wrists dry’-sure , you might need to do that if you’ve got it shoved down a garbage disposal fishing around for new supplies for your designs.
March 9, 2010 at 2:58 pm
Cheeze Wiz – JEEZE WIZ
When I first saw this I thought:
“FLAVA FLAV – BOOIIII!!”
March 9, 2010 at 3:06 pm
At least Flava Flav had some panache, but no matter how you slice aunt Debbies crap, it is still trash.
March 9, 2010 at 3:10 pm
Jack Bauer would have made a nuclear explosive out of that.
March 9, 2010 at 3:14 pm
#13 Noadi, if she had slapped the tube onto a gear instead of a whiz lid, it would be 1000 times better.
Off to go find my box of old Nixie tubes. I’ve got some Ball canning lids they’d look fabutastic on.
March 9, 2010 at 3:16 pm
OK Cub Scouts, put down the macaroni and string, we’re going to go into the custom jewelry business.
Here’s a big box of bottle caps, old electronic parts, twist ties and pop tart wrappers. No one goes home till I see some artistic shit worth 40 bucks!
March 9, 2010 at 3:23 pm
@#41 Did you mean for that to rhyme? ‘Cause it did. Drop the beats:
“At least Flava Flav had some panache./
No matter how you slice it, this is trash!
Word.”
March 9, 2010 at 3:30 pm
Two things:
1. I am weeping for these brooches…
http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?ref=vl_other_1&listing_id=24946062
2. She has a newsletter. I imagine that it mostly features headlines like “My Aunt Debbie Releases New Line of Scary Baby Head Cuffs.”
March 9, 2010 at 3:36 pm
#45/46, word up, I’m crying with you, & no rythme intended ….at least she didn’t put a vagina on that vile assemblage with the brooches & frog closure.
March 9, 2010 at 3:37 pm
Mtopia- in that collar necklace listing’s description, she mentions meeting some ET’s…I think if I wore any of her stuff and met up with an alien, they would likely take me up into the spaceship and do some probing b/c they’d want to know why I was so nuts for wearing that shit.
March 9, 2010 at 3:40 pm
#28 Bronc: Neither is Cheez Whiz.
March 9, 2010 at 3:40 pm
Cool, I have some Fluff in the fridge. I can use that to make a goth chastity belt for $50, right?
March 9, 2010 at 3:43 pm
Neither steam nor punk. Discuss.
March 9, 2010 at 3:43 pm
This looks like something that someone with severe ADHD would make. It’s shiny, bright, random, humorous, and sad, all at the same time.
March 9, 2010 at 3:51 pm
how could this ever be described as steampunk???
March 9, 2010 at 3:51 pm
Why is there a IED wired to that necklace?
March 9, 2010 at 3:53 pm
did anyone notice she has a SECOND store dedicated to jewelry made by my 13-year-old cousin?
March 9, 2010 at 3:54 pm
sorry, link
http://www.etsy.com/people/artenergyalchemy
March 9, 2010 at 3:54 pm
hypnotized, i just clicked through every item in the shop -now my mouth is hanging open and i’m weeping for the death of “fashion”
March 9, 2010 at 4:07 pm
Speak for yourselves, I know you’re all just waiting breathlessly on a Cthulu Pope Hat.

The only thing creepier would be a clown face cuff. Wow, seriously disturbing!
March 9, 2010 at 4:19 pm
Instead of paying her 40 bucks for this craptacular piece of shit, I am just going to put 40 bucks in my recycle bin and give my hauler a tip, at least he knows what to with garbage!
March 9, 2010 at 4:25 pm
Because it’s so goddamn punk and Victorian to advertise KRAFT CHEEZ WHIZ wherever you go.
*headdesk*
March 9, 2010 at 4:26 pm
Steampunk? …Nooo.
Post-apocalyptic? TOTALLY.
http://twitpic.com/17mlit
March 9, 2010 at 5:11 pm
This would totally get you taken down by the TSA in Logan Airport.
March 9, 2010 at 5:11 pm
Oh, but I totally LOVE the Cthulu pope hat. If it was a little less, it would be MINE.
March 9, 2010 at 5:24 pm
HAHAHAHA!!!! Okay the Squid pope hat is actually really great. Off to send the link to someone now.
March 9, 2010 at 7:10 pm
#60- thank you for pointing out that not only is red, white, and blue beads and a food lid not steampunk at all, but ADVERTISING for a processed food conglomerate…
I’m sorry I have to go to the liquor cabinet now
March 9, 2010 at 7:23 pm
Do I still have to refrigerate after opening?
March 9, 2010 at 7:46 pm
omg.. $40?! i’ve don’t comment usually but this makes my left eye twitch. I make steampunk and cyberpunk stuff – and some of its made from vacuum tubes and industrial components. This is … sad. Too many sellers just slap on “Steampunk” and hope it will sell.
I must say the Difference Engine reference made it all worthwhile! It should be required reading (along with Gibson’s other work) before using the term.
March 9, 2010 at 10:32 pm
Good god, file this in “Garbage” already!!!
March 9, 2010 at 10:45 pm
strictly for suicide bombers who don’t want to harm others… (cuz’ when that goes off, the lid shards are digging into the wearer’s heart… impaled by cheez whiz, but it’s only light, so it won’t be aggravated by a heart attack or so). Oh wait, the beads are bad traps though, someone could slip on them! Might have to rethink that one…
March 9, 2010 at 10:49 pm
So I googled steampunk (yes, I am aware I am lacking in the areas of style, art and generally being under 25.. wtf happened in 4 years I tell you?!?! ok you can stop snickering now, young ‘punks’
. And to be less long-winded, I was completely wowed! It is like engineering and fine art fusion. THIS craptastic piece would appear to offend the genre as much as, say, tagging used toilet paper as “excerpts from the Holy Bible”
March 9, 2010 at 11:04 pm
Not. Steampunk. At. All.
And I’m weeping not only for the brooches but the lovely lace she’s desecrated with her “art” …. GAAHHHHH. Does she realize she could probably get more money selling those brooches and laces and doilies as vintage than by ruining them with these atrocities?
March 10, 2010 at 2:41 am
First thought: What the FUCK is this?!
Second thought: How the FUCK is this steampunk?!
Her whole shop is sad. I just hope that she doesn’t have any customers, I would cry and laugh at the same time if I saw someone walking down the street wearing anything of hers.
Oh wait, she’s had 47 sales. WHAT THE FUCK??!!!!
I do want to know how to get my hands on old tv tubes though. I could probably do something with them a lot cooler than what she does with them.
March 10, 2010 at 4:30 am
Thanks #71 Priceless. I thought I was the only retard around that didn’t know what steampunk was.
In any event this piece of crap is just cheezy
March 10, 2010 at 4:54 am
further proof that cheez whiz is *never* a good idea. O.o
March 10, 2010 at 6:24 am
bless you, HK.
March 10, 2010 at 2:36 pm
Steampunk – no.
Steep (priced) junk – yes.
March 10, 2010 at 8:05 pm
Doesn’t she know, steampunk is so last week.
March 11, 2010 at 2:05 pm
At first glance, I thought the picture of the back with fur was a picture of a cow’s ass.
March 13, 2010 at 5:37 am
How does this seller have 47 sales?! I’m pretty shocked about that!
March 20, 2010 at 9:28 am
This is Amazing , Steampunk jewelry that neverwas but that actually is !
April 18, 2011 at 8:29 pm
57 sales with an 100% positive rating…this is terrifying! That someone has the nerve to try to sell this garbage I can believe, though it saddens me…that 57 people are stupid enough to spend their hard-earned money on it is just mind boggling.
