I remember seeing an episode of LA Ink where some dumb broad wanted them to “pretty up” Rosie for a tattoo. I was appalled. I have to say, it’s equally horrifying to have her “uglied down” too. Can’t we just stick to the original icon and leave it alone? It’s like remaking The Haunting or something, it’s fucking doomed from the start.
Also, Amy looks great. I bet she’s going to end up like Nico and dying from some totally inncouous accident rather than the horse traquilizers she’s…
I first thought Steven Tyler and then I scrolled down to see Amy. It really could go both ways, without checking, I do wonder if they both have a set of balls bigger then a brass monkey.
#17 LeeLooDallas : I don’t see any eyes to make contact with. They appear to be in the back of her head and one closed. Impressive she was still standing.
helen, i dont give a rat’s ass if they use the proper terminology. its the derogatory slang that i object to. i recall a thread a few months ago where you said the exact same thing over the exact same word.
“the word tranny to a trans person is the same as the n-word to an african american. please dont use it.”
Rule #1 Stop saying —— is “just like using the n-word” because BULL-FUCKING-SHIT. This is lazy arguing, and it’s goddamn everywhere these days. “Tranny” isn’t even an insult. I’ve never heard one word about this being used in a pejorative sense. The only people who use it are trannies and people who are cool with trannies.
(continued)
Real homophobes and narrowminded people don’t even know about the term “tranny.” They think it refers to a transmission. Christian Siriano used the term “hot tranny mess” 9,000 times on Project Runway, and I promise you they weren’t sitting up there in the editing bay white-knuckling it and fearing for their jobs.
interesting how many of the people i talk to on a daily basis would disagree with you.
talk about lazy arguing: just because “its everywhere” doesnt make it acceptable. nor is it made acceptable when people who are not trans say “its not an insult.” christian siriano isnt trans, and neither, i suspect, are you.
they dont fear for their jobs for the simple reason that trans people lack the influence and political power to make it stick. but i will guarantee you that a lot of people…

to a transgendered person, using the word “tranny” is equivalent to using the N-word to describe an african-american. simply not cool.

we can do it! some how i doubt rosie the riveter was talking about her ability to paint.
May 31, 2010 at 9:43 am
They tried to make me go to Regretsy
and I said, No No No.
May 31, 2010 at 9:48 am
No, honey. You can’t. Furthermore, you shouldn’t.
May 31, 2010 at 9:50 am
Why does Rosie have a five o’clock shadow?
May 31, 2010 at 9:53 am
Rosie’s a man, baby.
May 31, 2010 at 10:00 am
good lord, i dunno what is more scary- that painting, or the photo of winehouse
May 31, 2010 at 10:01 am
I knew it! They never let women work in the factories…it was just men dressed like women.
May 31, 2010 at 10:03 am
“One of a kind” apparently now means “I only ripped it off once”.
May 31, 2010 at 10:05 am
lots of the gals have a five o’clock shadow, eh?

Also, I like how everyone says rosie looks like a man, but she looks more like Amy Winehouse…who REALLY looks like a man. Poor, poor Amy
May 31, 2010 at 10:28 am
This is really full of can’t.

apparently I talk too much.
May 31, 2010 at 10:40 am
Pictures of Amy Winehouse always make me want to dump what liquor I have down the drain and take a long, hot shower.
May 31, 2010 at 10:49 am
Don’t ask and I don’t want them to tell.
May 31, 2010 at 10:52 am
If a gal’s neck is as wide as her chest…it’s best not to make eye contact.

Amy Winehouse looks to me like she positively reeks of tuna and incense. Not nice.

Where’s the other half of her rib cage?
May 31, 2010 at 11:14 am
Alternatively:
they tried to make me go to art class,
but I said no, no, no.
May 31, 2010 at 11:39 am
Wow, look at the Etsy Bitch’s face melt.
May 31, 2010 at 11:56 am
Is that a young Rosie O’Donnell?
May 31, 2010 at 12:03 pm
#18- RCB I thought it was Steven Tyler at first too!! But it’s just Amy having what appears to be a stroke!!
May 31, 2010 at 12:24 pm
The Winehouse math adds up perfectly, but I still keep seeing this:

In the description it says $7.50 but the listing is for $8.50. Regretsy Math indeed.
May 31, 2010 at 12:38 pm
I’ll admit to doing a Rosie the Riveter parody as well.

Note, this is EIGHT YEARS OLD. I have a better grasp of perspective now, but everything is still better with werewolves!
May 31, 2010 at 12:39 pm
Maybe that fist will continue right on up to her face.
May 31, 2010 at 12:43 pm
Is this what happens when you put Rosie the Riveter out in the sun too long?
May 31, 2010 at 12:52 pm
Looks like Bea Arthur, anime style.
May 31, 2010 at 2:58 pm

May 31, 2010 at 11:31 pm
I wonder what the result would be if you hit Amy with an Ugly Stick? Deformed Rosie is way cuter.
June 1, 2010 at 6:06 am
laughs at the thumbs downers who apparently think that i shouldnt tell people not to use a derogatory term to describe a group of people.
well then. off you fuck, now.
Attempting to censor and control the language people use here is generally not well received. – HK

…in the trans community were offended as hell by him using that terminology.
if you think it is an acceptable term for use here at regretsy, you are welcome to it.

i defer to the obvious expert in ass talking. tell me, was it your first language at home or did you listen to tapes in your car?
June 4, 2010 at 10:26 pm
You are WAY too touchy.
June 5, 2010 at 4:53 pm
honestly…i was hoping for a much better comeback, such as “no, i learned it from your mom”
but you’re right, i can be very touchy about some things, i guess. we all have our hot buttons and that just happens to be one of mine.
