Don’t Stop ‘Til You Get a Nut
Lauren Marsella has a little bit of an obsession with Michael Jackson. She’s featured in the Regretsy book with a religious themed piece featuring Michael Jackson and Emmanuel Lewis. Aside from this, and now the coconut thing, she seems relatively normal.
Lauren is making a pilgrimage to Los Angeles this week, to document the anniversary of Michael Jackson’s last date with Propofil. Read about her project here.

My head just exploded from all the “nut” jokes flooding in at one time.

Her Propofil project should be a real gas.

The Blanket Jacko-nut will look fabulous dangling over my balcony.

Forty years in the future, in some seedy bar…
Blanket – “My dad was famous.”
Random stranger -”Who?”
Blanket – “Michael Fucking Jackson.”
R.S. – “Who?”
Blanket – Michael Fucking Jackson, the mother fucking king of pop!”
R.S. – “King of what? Never heard of him.”
Blanket – “You ever heard of him? Thriller, Bad…
R.S. – “Nope”
Blanket (Depressed) – “He the scary coconut dude.”
R.S. – “Oh, the scary coconut dude. Yeah I know him. wait, are you the little…

H1N1 was so 4 months ago…
“Proceeds from the sales of all Jacko-nuts will go to “The Second Hollywood Hajj Official Fundraiser” “?
SO basically the proceeds will help a so-called “artist” back to where she came from because she realized she couldn’t make it out in the Caribbeans.

I didn’t realize there was an official ranking.
So, who is the Caribbean’s SECOND quirkiest and SECOND most loved celebrity coconut family?

I see she’s also selling her rejection letters in her shop as well. Usually people wait until one gets famous before doing that.

A pilgrimage from the islands to L.A. for this shit? What a waste of airplane fuel. Oh, she’s swimming here? What a wacko jacko nutjob.

I’ve got a lovely bunch of coconuts!
There’s some sort of one-eyed joke to be made about the MJ one, but I’m too agog to figure it out.

I bet she’s the type of crazy where her neighborhood kids love her around halloween but sorta stay 50 feet away during the rest of the year.

(I agree with you leftfoot.) Is it me or are the Paris and Prince coconuts the exact same one photographed from different angles?

The only thing missing from this sordid scenario is a giant wet felted blanket to put over the many loose nuts.

“Aside from this, and now the coconut thing, she seems relatively normal.”
Well, really, the Regretsy definition of “normal” is kinda loose, isn’t it.

Happily, none of us are “normal”. *twirlspinfalllaughpee*

# pandoraslocker : I can see why she got rejected

Sometimes you feel like a Jacko-Nut,
And sometimes you don’t. Actually, never.
June 25, 2010 at 3:30 pm
#19 leftfoot: Agreed. I personally consider that thing people call “normal” to be a terrible and tragic disease.
June 25, 2010 at 3:43 pm
Wow, they are so realistic you have to wonder… is that Wacko Jacko-not?
June 25, 2010 at 4:12 pm
So, you’re telling me that this person spends time making coconut Jackson family members??? Like, spends time on it… #1. Her poor cats. #2. Where’s latoya??

Good to see construction paper making such a strong comeback in the world of forgotten craft materials.

There they are all standing in a row!
Big ones, small ones, some as big as your head…

This is my favorite listing today. It’s has the right level of absurdity for my regretsy g-spot.

I’m hearing Geoffrey Holder’s voice in my head saying, “These are Jacko nuts. These are un-Jacko nuts.”
