How did that get there?
Looking up in mock surprise at the stupid hat you put on your own head is the new duckface.
You may recall seeing that last hat a while back on this site. The seller was none to happy about being featured, and immediately took the hat off of Etsy, which prompted this exchange on Twitter:
YOU CAN’T HAVE THIS HAT if you read Regretsy. I bet you’re rethinking your whole life right now aren’t you?
Fortunately, she neglected to say you couldn’t have this hat if you write Regretsy. Thank God for loopholes, amirite? So many thanks to the loyal fan who sent this to my post office box.
Two things I can tell you about this hat:
1. It’s stupider in person
2. It’s the prize I’m awarding to our 50,000th Facebook fan, who just joined a little while ago. Every 5,000th fan gets a prize, and this piece has so much history, glamour and fingers that it seemed the obvious choice.
Congratulations!

Seriously, April, How can you break up that ensemble? But it makes me wish I had flounced and come back as number 50,000. What a great prize!
September 16, 2010 at 1:45 pm
Congratulations to Tess! May it always rain when you wear your hat. These colors don’t run, indeed!
September 16, 2010 at 1:46 pm
Well, me-OWW, Buffalo Blue. Glad you’re so successful that you can turn down sales based on rejection-induced snobbery.
September 16, 2010 at 1:46 pm
On her best day ms. buffalumpyblueballs couldn’t look even one billionteenth as good.
September 16, 2010 at 1:51 pm
Congrats to fan 50k!
Buffalo Blue Balls- I am of Regretsy. I read Regretsy, and also comment.
I hope you’re crying (instead of laughing) your way to the bank, cuz you just got punked. You shoulda embraced this community. Truly she’s a dumbass.
ps- Killer, you look hot in that hat.
September 16, 2010 at 1:52 pm
Hey, our money spends. Lady, you made an atrocious, ridiculous, impractical hat; be grateful anyone would even consider it worthy of a joke.
September 16, 2010 at 1:55 pm
As much as I’d like some fuckery in the form of a reward, I’m glad I’ve been with Regretsy almost from the start.
Congrats to the hat winner though. I hope it keeps you warm for the cold winter months and makes bystanders say: “What the fuck is on her head?” every time you wear it.
September 16, 2010 at 1:58 pm
well, in their defense: if i had an idiotic hat on, i’d be making a weird face too.
wouldn’t it be great to say: “nobody could be THAT stupid” and actually be right for once?
September 16, 2010 at 2:09 pm
I totally have the fish bow shop in my favourites. There are some awesome hats with boats on them in that shop. They are more show pieces than things that you would wear, though.
Buffalo-Lady, is it not a bit sad that the only people who would want your dumb hat want it ironically? Then you turn them down? I hope that you and the other glove are happy together.
September 16, 2010 at 2:09 pm
Curses! I still haven’t made that Facebook account yet! That could have been me!
And her name was Tess? Goddammit she took my name too!
September 16, 2010 at 2:10 pm
I bet the old buffalo still reads regretsy. How can she live with herself.

Loopholes FTW!

“Looking up in mock surprise at the stupid hat you put on your own head is the new duckface.”
That’s an insult to duckface. Madam, how dare you.
September 16, 2010 at 2:31 pm
Too bad, Buffalo gal. I thought you would fit in perfectly here, and really liked the stuff in your store. (sigh) If only you could find your sense of humor. Maybe another glove hat could point it out for you?

HK, the only way your photo could be more awesome is if that hat was flipping us off.
Congrats to FB fan #50,000!
And Buffalo Blew, I hope you learned your lesson: Don’t fuck with Regretsy.
September 16, 2010 at 3:11 pm
I always thought making a strange face was basically an ugly girls way of being somewhat photogenic. “I’m not unattractive, I MEANT to look like that!”.
September 16, 2010 at 3:15 pm
I actually tried to make an answer hat. With a cast off glove giving the finger, but I couldn’t get over the stupidity of it. And a hand in a fist shape on the head really looks bad.
September 16, 2010 at 3:57 pm
Hats off to HK and the 50,000 FB member.
Buffalo Breath – snark is just another way of saying “We love YOU”
September 16, 2010 at 4:00 pm
#18 greenfuzz, it can’t look any worse that that thing on HK’s head.
September 16, 2010 at 4:19 pm
What’s next, looking up in mock surprise at the stupid hat you put on your own head WITH duckface? That level of douchebaggery might cause the universe to implode.
September 16, 2010 at 4:36 pm
Oh please, you know she was secretly thrilled to be featured on Regretsy.
If I was featured on the redoubtable Regretsy you can be sure I’d jump up and down with glee.
Now, excuse me while I go think up some steampunk knitted accessories.

“What is “duckface”?”
it’s a mallard’s Poker Face
September 16, 2010 at 6:13 pm
Bitterness, party of one? Your table is ready.
FYI – if you ever need a nine letter phrase for “OH GOD I COULD JUST OPEN UP A VEIN I’M SO INSULTED, EMBARRASSED AND JUST PLAIN DEVASTATED!”, “No big deal,” will do very nicely.
September 16, 2010 at 6:25 pm
Lawls. Imagine how pissed she’s going to be seeing her “O.J.’s bloody glove hat” on April’s head. I wonder if she’ll pay April the purchase price to get it back. Hmmm…
September 16, 2010 at 8:08 pm
I was so distracted by the Facebook fuckery that I didn’t notice the woman in the first pic HAS A TINY MUSTACHE ON HER SHIRT! Suddenly, I love her. <3
September 16, 2010 at 11:08 pm
this is a bummer because I really kinda liked the melting ice cream cone
September 17, 2010 at 1:09 am
Hmmm…torn between looking like a fishtank fell on me, some passer-by dumped his/her/its ice-cream on my head, or getting the impression that someone is feeling up my brain.
What a choice, people!
(I’ll go with the ice-cream, kthnx)
September 17, 2010 at 1:23 am
if only i could see the not-so-mock looks of surprise when these… hats (i mean, they’re kinda hats, right?!) get mounted by mange infested pigeons and or ravenous gulls… imagination will have to do…
… oh imagination… how i love you
September 17, 2010 at 3:21 am
I am a slightly offended by miss blue balls animosity for regretsy readers. Whats wrong with us?
September 17, 2010 at 3:48 am
The top one appeared at first to be a pic of Marilyn Manson.
September 17, 2010 at 8:41 am
#28 – Ruby, let’s see how much she’ll pay SIMPLY to get the picture taken down off Regretsy. How much was the, uh, “hat?” I imagine half of that would suffice nicely. We could donate the money to Helen’s fave charity.
September 17, 2010 at 10:31 am
@bananaNana-In response to your query; Nothing!
September 17, 2010 at 2:12 pm
Is that Brig van Osten, winner of Shear Genius in the first pic?

Thing has found alternate employment! Also, I love the idea of brain freeze…
September 17, 2010 at 11:55 pm
crap is crap is crap. i know it, you know, let’s just enjoy it.
September 18, 2010 at 6:41 am
this reminds one of those saucy victorian porno cards featuring saucy ladies surprised to find their zatches.
not to be a lover or anything, April actually makes that hat look pretty good.
September 18, 2010 at 8:56 pm
#1 Wren :Seriously, April, How can you break up that ensemble? But it makes me wish I had flounced and come back as number 50,000. What a great prize!
I agree Wren! Makes me want to join Facebook-sort of-ok maybe not. But I still love Regretsy! And work that glove hat thingy, April!
September 20, 2010 at 1:24 am
i decided this weekend- i’m making a brain-slug hat

My first thought: “My daughter would totally wear the fish bow.” It’s her dream to “swim with goldfish” though, so I don’t base any sort of fashion sense upon her whims (or whimsicles.)
My second thought: “Why the fuck would you put something on your head if you don’t know what it looks like & you have to double check it’s lameness?”
September 20, 2010 at 4:25 pm
I meant *its* lameness. Derp.
