Surely there is some etsy pictorial golden ratio of proportion of exposed flesh to product that is ideal for selling items. I know which side of the curve this picture falls on…
I’ll give her credit for the graphic warning to the young uns-wear sunscreen,and before you commit to ink, think about how your tats will look in a few decades.
And not that it would have helped much , but would it have killed her to smile?
Sometimes I worry about the pictures in my etsy shops and whether or not the light is right or if if enough detail is shown. Now thanks to regretsy, I see posts like this and my worries about my pictures just sort of float away.
In other listings where she’s the model she looks just fine. In fact she looks like she has a sly sense of humor, and I like people like that.
But, Seller, shooting that tight on anyone over the age of 21, without the benefit of good lighting or good photoshop, is just cruel to both subject and viewer.
even Selma Hayek wouldn’t look sexy with that expression!
Blaugh!
this is a rather accurate (if unfortunate) demonstration of leopard spots as effective camouflage. If a leopard was tiny and lived on her skin, no one could ever find it
Again I hang my head in shame from my neighbors…Remember the girl who wanted flip flops for her wedding Alchemy post? She was from my hometown. Turns out Gran here is from just north of the flip flop girl..sigh…these are the few who make me not miss home. Who wants to bet on how many bowling trophies she has at her house?
The corset/apron has sent me into a whore/mother Freudian frenzy. “Grandma made me cookies! But then she whipped me while I ate them!” I think I need to go back into therapy.
I think I’d have appreciated an NSFW warning on this one. But truly, I cannot wait to grow old so that my only options for formal wear will be leopard print bowties and tiger sweatshirts bedazzled with rhinestones. Ahhhh…
Haha, well, that’s my mother. I’m the long haired boy, the older gentleman is my uncle, my sister’s the one in the bug vest, her best friend Ariel’s the other girl, my friend Daniel’s the other youth.
And to answer questions, no, there are no bowling trophies at her house. No one has yet to call her Glam-ma, and I’d respond to more but I’m running low on characters. I really need to be more proactive in helping her with photos.
Talked with her today, the extra traffic and especially the new sale have given her a boost of pride.
Thank you all, even if you were just looking at the rest just for ridicule’s sake, it made her day.
August 2, 2010 at 1:33 pm
Hands down, this is the LEAST sexy thing I’ve ever seen.
August 2, 2010 at 1:34 pm
… and a cougar can’t change her age spots.
August 2, 2010 at 1:35 pm
Oh gods… and just before dinner. >.<
August 2, 2010 at 1:35 pm
is leopard the next stage after cougar?
August 2, 2010 at 1:36 pm
Me…yao!
In other news: Charlie Sheen would LOVE the rest of her shop!
August 2, 2010 at 1:36 pm
Oooh, Gramma’s got tan lines.
August 2, 2010 at 1:36 pm
Wow, thats all….. Wow.
August 2, 2010 at 1:38 pm
And here I’ve been using anti-wrinkle cream for my luck all this time.
Silly, silly, Laura…
August 2, 2010 at 1:38 pm
Between the leopard spots and liver spots, I’m on spot overload right now.
August 2, 2010 at 1:39 pm
the plus side is – we know what it would look like on a turkey neck too.
August 2, 2010 at 1:39 pm
Every body else in the store kept their shirt on when modeling a bow tie, why couldn’t she?
Because then she would not be able to show off the blurry, baked in the sun, oddly shaped tat on her tit. How fetching!
*takes a sip of tea* How’s THAT for catty, seller?
August 2, 2010 at 1:41 pm
My mother would wear that.
August 2, 2010 at 1:41 pm
They couldn’t have photographed this just lying on a table? I know how a bowtie works.
August 2, 2010 at 1:43 pm
The only fetching going on here is me going for a barf bag. Oh I get it , that’s a typo, shoulda’ been retching.
August 2, 2010 at 1:49 pm
That look on her face: she’s ready to pounce! Hide your poolboys!
August 2, 2010 at 1:50 pm
The used the photo from her eHarmony account for this, right?
August 2, 2010 at 1:51 pm
She is giving us her best Ruth Gordon look cause I definitely feel like driving a hearse off a cliff.
August 2, 2010 at 1:53 pm
are we to assume that nanna is topless in this photo?

@curlytopnoia- go to the store and click on the second photo. You’ll see.
August 2, 2010 at 2:03 pm
Any guy wearing that on a “night on the town” is going to get his ass kicked at worst, and he’s going home alone at best.
August 2, 2010 at 2:04 pm
Don’tcha wish your grandma was hot like mine? Don’tcha?….Don’tcha
August 2, 2010 at 2:11 pm
This is what happens when they don’t lock up the gin.
August 2, 2010 at 2:13 pm
You say tatt, I say melanoma.
August 2, 2010 at 2:13 pm
Why does this picture remind me of Party Boy from Jackass…? Oh great, now my brain is crying
August 2, 2010 at 2:15 pm
I blame HRT

Here is her other nostril..

Equally fetching in a corset apron:

#17 you beat me to it. GOOD DAY SIR!
August 2, 2010 at 2:24 pm
Her shop is hysterical. It’s like a series of family photos in outfits Grandma made.

If this is her hubby he’s probably glad she’s venting her energy on sewing and not him.

“My motto? Frolic Tenaciously!”
But, you know, carefully. That hip wasn’t cheap.
August 2, 2010 at 2:40 pm
The only positive thing I can think of here is that at least granny doesn’t have whiskers.
August 2, 2010 at 2:40 pm
What Not to Wear would LOVE to get ahold of this gal! Maybe I’ll buy this for my Mom this holiday season. . . Meowy Christmas!!!!
August 2, 2010 at 2:42 pm
@32-I saw that too. I then wasted ten minutes of my life wondering how you frolic tenaciously.
August 2, 2010 at 2:44 pm

I would recommend Botox to go with that bow tie…

Hand tied -MAYBE
but HANDMADE = FAIL
June 9, 2011 at 11:11 pm
She did make it, actually. I saw it in progress.

August 2, 2010 at 3:23 pm
Seriously, though, ya’ll come & get your mee-maw. You know she can’t be trusted around that daggum camera when she’s off the meds.
August 2, 2010 at 3:26 pm
@#27 StarryDreams: Is it just me, or is Nana Nostril subtly flipping us off in that photo?
August 2, 2010 at 3:33 pm

This is what happens when you add another 90 degrees to the Myspace Angle.
August 2, 2010 at 4:57 pm
I’ll pay another $50 if she comes with it. RAWR.
August 2, 2010 at 5:00 pm
See Jane.
See Spot.
See Dick collapse.

August 2, 2010 at 5:33 pm
why is she nude to model a bow tie? and why is she nude at all?
August 2, 2010 at 5:49 pm
Oh dear!!!!!!!!!!!!!! MEOWIE KAPOWIE!!
August 2, 2010 at 5:57 pm
MORE lens Vaseline, please. MUCH, much more.
August 2, 2010 at 6:01 pm
I am now scarred for life
August 2, 2010 at 6:28 pm
@VEDD – I must learn NOT to take a drink from the glass before viewing any of your links. Fan-frakking-tastic!
What do you want to bet she makes her grandchildren call her Glam-ma?
August 2, 2010 at 6:51 pm
It was the nostrils that made me think of this…

She’s 24 and addicted to meth.
August 2, 2010 at 7:39 pm
Me-Yuk.
August 2, 2010 at 8:55 pm
OH GOD! Remind me not to check Regretsy before going to bed. I’m going to have nightmares now.
August 2, 2010 at 8:55 pm
Again I hang my head in shame from my neighbors…Remember the girl who wanted flip flops for her wedding Alchemy post? She was from my hometown. Turns out Gran here is from just north of the flip flop girl..sigh…these are the few who make me not miss home. Who wants to bet on how many bowling trophies she has at her house?
August 3, 2010 at 12:55 am
The corset/apron has sent me into a whore/mother Freudian frenzy. “Grandma made me cookies! But then she whipped me while I ate them!” I think I need to go back into therapy.
August 3, 2010 at 7:16 am
grrrrrrrrrr, baby.
August 3, 2010 at 9:44 am
The only thing that could complete this catty ensemble is a pair of leopard print pasties.
August 3, 2010 at 2:30 pm
Why do I have the disturbing feeling that while wearing the corset/apron, that this woman is otherwise in the nude?
August 3, 2010 at 4:54 pm
I think I’d have appreciated an NSFW warning on this one. But truly, I cannot wait to grow old so that my only options for formal wear will be leopard print bowties and tiger sweatshirts bedazzled with rhinestones. Ahhhh…
August 3, 2010 at 6:43 pm
Eh…
If I was 85, I’d probably hit it.
August 3, 2010 at 11:51 pm

I just hope that this’ll increase her traffic…
August 4, 2010 at 12:05 pm
I like the tie
She has a very clean nose, too!

I’m going to convo meemaw and see if she will model my earrings… I have never been able to find the right model. Until now
August 6, 2010 at 6:16 am
I don’t mean to be rude…. but I have 3 words for this woman : MAC STUDIO FIX. ’nuff said.
August 7, 2010 at 3:31 pm
if it is supposed to jazz up a guys night on the town why is a gal modeling it???
