What the shit is this? It’s bad enough someone wants $74 to put a sleeve on an afghan, but the Lion King make-up brings it to a whole other level of ratfuck. Even Nathan Lane thinks this is too gay.

Holy cow bells , things are a swinging in Nebraskey.
The plains are not as plain as I thought.
The only thing that could amp this up is a corn hole bag.
September 23, 2010 at 4:37 pm
I’m guessing “gatherer” is a synonym for “catcher.” Roarrr.
September 23, 2010 at 4:37 pm
Hey now, it was featured in Omaha Fashion Week. Y’all know real fashion comes from Omaha.
September 23, 2010 at 4:39 pm
Why do I have the sudden urge to watch a Duran Duran video?
September 23, 2010 at 4:39 pm
It’s a costume from the upcoming film MAD MAX BEYOND GLITTERDOME.
September 23, 2010 at 4:41 pm
A rare miss for Omaha Fashion Week.

aok- just saw your post…
September 23, 2010 at 4:49 pm
I think somebody looked at too many Nat.l Geographics-
No, white boy in the midwest, you are NOT a Masai warrior.
September 23, 2010 at 4:50 pm
Hey, don’t bring Duran Duran into this! They were pop stars – they had an excuse to dress like this. What’s this guy’s excuse? “I’ll pay you 20 bucks to dress like the lead in the high school production of Lion King.”
September 23, 2010 at 4:51 pm
the shoulder fringe is to die for.
somebody ought to die for it.
September 23, 2010 at 4:56 pm
A sling perfect for that crazy CATS fan you know. Good luck signing the cast with that on!
September 23, 2010 at 4:57 pm
Anyone else remember “Mutual(ahem) of Omaha’s Wild Kingdom”?

It’s obvious what has happened here. This guy got drunk and passed out on the couch. Whlie he was out cold, his friends drew all over his face as friends will do. He finally woke up and got tangled up in that thing that’s draped over the back of the couch and his friends were, once again, ready with the camera.

He just had to take Casual Friday too far and ruin it for everyone.
September 23, 2010 at 5:09 pm
it is shrug man here to promote yarn fuckery
September 23, 2010 at 5:09 pm
Man, you should see the drop-crotch ruffle pants on this seller’s page! The fuckery just keeps on going!
September 23, 2010 at 5:09 pm
The only way that guy is getting laid is through a glory hole.
September 23, 2010 at 5:12 pm
NO
THIS IS NOT OKAY
September 23, 2010 at 5:12 pm
#16 No kidding. There are some itchy thumbs-downers today.
September 23, 2010 at 5:14 pm
Duran Duran never, ever dressed like this.
Adam Ant, however….
September 23, 2010 at 5:15 pm
It’s so timely & multi-purpose, just add some flocking to the fringe that looks like tinsel, hang some more balls from it & Wah-laaaa, a Christmas tree.
September 23, 2010 at 5:18 pm
here we have an example of a warrior of the shrugian tribe displaying the shoulder tuff indicating a high rank within the tribe.
September 23, 2010 at 5:22 pm
It’s pretty hard to square the name Limoges, so long associated with fine art glass, with this tres tacky crappola.
September 23, 2010 at 5:27 pm
Man… if I never want to sleep with my husband again I know EXACTLY what to get him!
September 23, 2010 at 5:31 pm
Someone got drunk and went to the thrift store.
September 23, 2010 at 5:31 pm
Jeez, when my son dislocated his shoulder in a martial arts tournament, the doctor only gave him a blue and white Velcro-strapped sling.
This one is FABULOUS!
September 23, 2010 at 5:31 pm
JESUS CGRIST! This was what was chosen for the page?!
I mean I know you gotta choose but this dudes whole shop is a big gay train wreck. Somebody should NOT have gotten him that sewing machine for Christmas in 8th grade.
The weirdo attacking blanket thing is actually pretty normal b comparison…
September 23, 2010 at 5:33 pm
Awww, his MeeMaw made him a cast cozy!
September 23, 2010 at 5:36 pm
I don’t think even Rafiki the Lion King baboon is looney enough to wear this shit.
I agree with #27…Adam Ant probably would have CONSIDERED it…
September 23, 2010 at 5:37 pm
But nary a mention of steampunk nor a compound bow in sight?
And not specific to these guys, I know, but what IS the faux-hawk fuckery about?
September 23, 2010 at 5:39 pm
Hawk Girl says “Less talking, more hitting!!!!”
September 23, 2010 at 5:39 pm
You know if you added in the girl with the infinite cowl and the one sleeved sweater girl from Russia to this picture, you’d have the whole circle of yarn life.
September 23, 2010 at 5:42 pm
I don’t like to be the nay-sayer, but really, this stuff’s no worse than half the crap that walks down the haut couture runways in Paris, New York and Milan. Really.
And the owl hat is kind of cute. And I like the copper panel skirt quite a bit.
“No worse” than other shit you refer to as “crap” is high praise indeed. – HK

My vote goes to the Capri Coveralls (http://www.etsy.com/listing/56942036/capri-coveralls?)
There’s more to men’s fashion than tshirts and jeans! Add this pair of capri coveralls to our wardrobe to prove it to the world!
September 23, 2010 at 6:35 pm
This thing had a runway show? What!
September 23, 2010 at 7:27 pm
What I want to know is why is there more than one person making one arm sweater atrocities where there isn’t a need for even one?
September 23, 2010 at 7:50 pm
I suppose aspiring fashion models have to start somewhere. Thongor the Great White Hunter just should’ve looked further than Omaha.
September 23, 2010 at 8:04 pm
Oh, bless Audi’s little heart; Omaha Fashion Week was just held in a campus bar: “2010 Collection: “h/g: you be the hunter, i’ll be the gatherer” is coming soon. It’s next showing is at Omaha Fashion Week:
Sept 18 at 8:00 pm
Nomad Lounge
1013 Jones Street”
September 23, 2010 at 8:21 pm
Omaha Fashion Week is right up there with an ethnic dining convention in Cheyenne Wyoming.
September 23, 2010 at 8:43 pm
Heidi Klum and Michael Kors weigh in…. “Sweet merciful crap. What happened in Hair and Makeup? That top is a joke. I am laughing here. It’s like a slutty Tony the Tiger wrestling with an old blanket that’s shedding. And not in a good way. I am sorry but you are OUT. Auf wiedersehen!”
September 23, 2010 at 8:48 pm
I like the 1,000 buttons on there. I think if a female model wore this, it wouldn’t be as horrid…no, still sucks.
September 23, 2010 at 8:58 pm
I was contemplating learning how to crochet this winter. Now I think I’ll take up stamp collecting instead.
September 23, 2010 at 9:19 pm
What the fuck happened to his hair? Did they deliberately have him sleep on it funny right before the shoot?
September 23, 2010 at 9:21 pm
#41 HMM But they’re NOTHING without the owl cowl.
I was partial to the painted burlap skirt with pockets longer than your arms. Scratchy and dysfunctional are two of my favourite qualities in clothing. Rubbing the paint off trying to get your car keys from the bottom would be the little silver ball on the cherry of the icing on the cake of your day.
September 23, 2010 at 9:36 pm
Simple explanation – His grandma and her knitting circle took advantage of the fact he was taking serious pain meds for his arm – AND PUNKED HIM
or Adam Ant’s son is trying to start a new fad: HUNTER MUSIC
“So pick up some acorns and do yourself a favor
wild berries have lost taste try knitting with a Raver!
HUNTER MUSIC HUNTER MUSIC”
September 23, 2010 at 10:31 pm
Bronc, didn’t you wear that to Burning Man?
September 23, 2010 at 11:01 pm
You know, I actually liked his golden nomad vest. The craftsmanship on it is just fabulous. It ALMOST makes me sad that there’s no way I’ll ever see anyone wearing it other than as some part of a costume.
September 23, 2010 at 11:16 pm
wow
it’s like my grandmother was the costume director for Braveheart
either that or Cirque du Soleil really made some budget cuts
September 23, 2010 at 11:28 pm
I think one of the first rules of “couture knitting” is that if you’re going to make some bizarro statement piece, you should use halfway decent yarn, not babymelting acrylics that look like they’re leftover from the 80s.
Then again, I wouldn’t want this seller abusing *good* yarn.
September 24, 2010 at 1:17 am
I’d go for a ‘FABulous’ joke, but looks like half the thread already beat me to it.
September 24, 2010 at 3:12 am
So I am guessing that the ‘you’ in ‘you be the hunter’ refers to the model? As when the prey sees him coming they are just going to fall down laughing and he can walk up and stab them.
(I also don’t see how this piece relates to hunting OR gathering, other than being out of place on a model who is wearing facepaint).
September 24, 2010 at 4:21 am
Looking at the clothing in his shop…why do I get the feeling he started out making Ren Faire and LARPing costumes?
September 24, 2010 at 4:24 am
mmmmmm….it’s a real toss up between the owl hat the the fringed mohican hat. I hate having to choose. But if I were to go with my heart, I’d say the owl cap does it.
September 24, 2010 at 6:22 am
I’m from Nebraska, I go to school in Nebraska, I’ve still seen better shit coming down the runway at the student fashion shows at UNL (University of Nebraska – Lincoln) where I go to school.
September 24, 2010 at 6:37 am
‘Omaha Fashion Week’ kind of says it all to me.
September 24, 2010 at 6:45 am
The fauxhawk only adds to the gay caveman look.
September 24, 2010 at 7:10 am
The sling looks like the pattern I used for a baby blanket. He could at least have used a rugged tweed cable instead!
September 24, 2010 at 7:19 am
How do you like my sweater? My lady sweater…
September 24, 2010 at 7:26 am
A kinder, nicer road warrior. It’s a comfortable dystopian future.
September 24, 2010 at 7:46 am
the makeup reminds me slightly of what was on Andy’s “couture” model on last night’s “project Runway”
I think he’s wearing that “gatherer” sweater wrong. shouldn’t the part that’s over his torso be used for gathering nuts or berries? I suppose not. there are too many holes in the thing.
the knitting pattern is actually pretty. Too bad the garment is simply pretty awful.
September 24, 2010 at 7:52 am
I can’t figure out what Shakespeare play these costumes were for; maybe the one with mittens the bear in it?
The ren faires in Omaha must be a real hoot!
September 24, 2010 at 9:03 am
I do ren faires, and I can assure you that we don’t look *anything* like what’s in that store… But that might be because those guys confuse ren faires with ‘LARPing meets Thunderdome’.
September 24, 2010 at 9:05 am
I guess, after watching Project Runway for the past few years, it’s not the clothing (sic) that surprises me as much as leaning that Omaha has a Fashion Week.
September 24, 2010 at 10:55 am
Hot guy + granny shawl = GAY
September 24, 2010 at 10:57 am
Honestly, when sweatshirts and mom jeans are what 75 – 80% of the population wears, and (I am NOT kidding here) the college football stadium becomes the 3rd largest city in the state on game day, this kind of absolute B.S. is refreshing in a I need to wash my brain with a brillo pad kind of way.
September 24, 2010 at 10:59 am
#68 purple peacock – I used to do Ren Faires, too. And there were always people there dressed as elves (!), or girls wearing really short t-tunics and no underpants. And also the meticulously sewn Italian Rennaisance dress made from lime green polyester upholstery brocade. S’truth.
September 24, 2010 at 11:57 am
Its official! I am completely embarrassed to be from this state! Am I forgiven if I live in Lincoln?
September 24, 2010 at 12:50 pm
#74, I too live in Lincoln but as Nebraskans we should know that our view is our area vs the rest of the state while people who aren’t from Nebraska only really know Omaha because it’s the largest city in this place and I-80 runs through it.
September 24, 2010 at 1:01 pm
Hopefully no animals were harmed in the making of her goods.
September 24, 2010 at 1:44 pm
Why, I thought no such thing!
September 24, 2010 at 1:47 pm
sorry you may all say this is gay… but truly IDK ANY GAY GUYS who would WEAR THIS!! Seriously, a gay man – even a drag queen- would not be caught dead in this.
September 24, 2010 at 1:54 pm
honestly the whole shop looks like someone who spends too much time at Renessance fairs had a summer job cleaning out the houses of old people who passed away and raided their closets and made stuff out of it
September 24, 2010 at 2:04 pm
Someone should really tell them that they’re knitting it wrong – a sweater is supposed to have two sleeves! Not being able to read a pattern is no excuse and making up a new word to describe your knitting disaster is just lazy.

I live in Omaha, that almost makes me wish I’d gone to “fashion week”.
September 25, 2010 at 2:34 pm
I know when I go looking for high fashion Omaha is the first place I think of. After spending a week there, in November, I can tell you that this thing doesn’t have enough fabric to it. I’ve never been so cold in my whole damn life!
September 25, 2010 at 5:33 pm
#81, a friend told me that he knows a guy from Siberia and said that winter in Nebraska was “like home” what does that say?
September 26, 2010 at 11:33 pm
W.T.F. is going on in Omaha???
