Oh my goodness, that is a lot of wonderful, snarky swag! Everything about it fills me to the brim with girlish glee.
April 21, 2010 at 1:36 pm
Helen, do you work for an airline? Is this all just a clever ploy to seduce the whimsicle among us to fly to New York? I’m onto you, though it may not affect you success rate!
April 21, 2010 at 1:41 pm
SAY WHAT URL!?! Awesomesauce. I really want this one! Too bad I’m broke, and in LA. :/
April 21, 2010 at 1:41 pm
Some awesome whimsicle fuckery in there.
April 21, 2010 at 1:45 pm
Multipurpose for reals, level 10 +, fuckery deluxe-Regretsians got you covered from soap to nuts.
April 21, 2010 at 1:49 pm
Cool preview HK, thanks to that Vagoo tote bag I now have Who-hah Are You by The Who stuck in my head.
April 21, 2010 at 1:49 pm
How cool to be a part of this batch, too!
For those of you who can’t see from the pic, some of the magnets I included are an homage to two Regretsy artists- SoapyHo’s corn poo soap aka “Oh me so Corny” magnet and also a shout out to Pomegranite80 with a donkey party and Al Green magnet…LOL
April 21, 2010 at 1:52 pm
Gee Skully , keep it up and you’re going to tarnish all of my fond (but never quite wholesome anyway)music memories….
April 21, 2010 at 1:53 pm
A sack full of awesome.
April 21, 2010 at 2:15 pm
Woopee fuckin’ do! (that’s My Vagoo there!) thanks Colette for making that awesome fabric!
April 21, 2010 at 2:16 pm
cool!
April 21, 2010 at 2:16 pm
Orgasmic…so glad I have friends in NYC who are (literally) willing to do my bidding.
April 21, 2010 at 2:31 pm
Patty, don’t you mean “a SAC full of awesome”?
In keeping with the vagoo theme, I mean
April 21, 2010 at 2:31 pm
Hey Helen,
the link to my store “old hag handbags” ain’t workin.
The http: part of the address is missing in the link
Thanks!
April 21, 2010 at 2:46 pm
@ #14 Shitballs.
Sorry, Kitty. It’s fixed now.
April 21, 2010 at 2:48 pm
I would kill small furry animals for that bag-o-swag. I might just do that anyways.
The regretsy logo on that one bag is fantastic! Someone’s got serious skillz!
April 21, 2010 at 2:53 pm
Holy CRAP. Bags! So many BAGS! And I’m totally coveting that pincushion. I might have to bribe one of my NYC friends to go bid on this. Except that it’s totally out of my price range. Sigh.
FANTASTIC, people, as always.

I was going to say: “A Vagoo bag tuffed to the gills? Shouldn’t it be stuffed to the flaps?”
April 21, 2010 at 3:28 pm
How about “stuffed to the tufted meat flaps”?
Though, here in Sin City, the trend is smooooooooooth.
That’s right, in a TMZ ambush on local Las Vegan Carrot Top, a reporter hollered at him (from across a parking lot) if his carpet matched his curtains. He replied (or, more accurately, bellowed back): “NO CARPET!”
April 21, 2010 at 3:51 pm
Thank you, Cybele, for the image of a smooth-waxed Carrot Top crotch – forever scorched into my mind. Oh god…
LOVE the cutest little toilet pincushion – oh my, so cute! Everything in this vagoo ensemble is making me weepy with envy and love.
April 21, 2010 at 4:53 pm
The lust that was raging for that bag of awesomeness was completely slaughtered by that mental image of Carrot Top. GROSS.
April 21, 2010 at 5:06 pm
Carrot Top isn’t…
(wait for it…wait for it)
Ahhhh!!!!
April 21, 2010 at 5:18 pm
Thanks #16 Bise-En-Scene! It was born of boredom and a new x-acto blade… also a love of Regretsy.
I’m pretty proud to be in the lot with a Vagoo bag and SoapyHo (who’s like, famous now) and many other talented Regretsians. I’m loving the Url Say What pouch!!
BID HIGH people! This fuckery isn’t just for shits and giggles, it’s for charity
April 21, 2010 at 5:21 pm
But it’s also for shits and giggles, right?
April 21, 2010 at 6:24 pm
Great stuff! And thanks for the kind comments for the tidy bowl! I guess the roll of “TP” that was by the book broke off. When I saw it wasn’t there my first thought was “Oh, crap…”
April 21, 2010 at 6:26 pm
I’m sure shit and giggles all come in somewhere… This is Regretsy.
April 21, 2010 at 6:39 pm
@ #25, It’s in the plastic bag that the pin cushion in in, but it was loose. Was it supposed to be attached?
It’s about the coolest thing ever. I came very, VERY close to keeping it.
April 21, 2010 at 6:54 pm
#27– yup, it was attached to the top next to the lil’ book. I’m sorry for the poor choice of glues!
April 21, 2010 at 10:14 pm
Oh, why do I love the toilet pin cushion so much?
April 26, 2010 at 5:39 pm
I am internet retarded it seems so rather than continue to beat fruitlessly at this dead horse I started up a new Regretsy account… I’m basically saying this for my own benefit to see if the changes worked…
