wow.
that’s a shade of red not found in nature.
and what’s going on w/the grandpa munster widow’s peak?
and lastly. $125.00? only if it comes with a REAL donkey being led by a man
It’s like I always say, “It don’t mean a thing, if it ain’t got that Swing Cut Sweater Jacket – Cactus, Donkey, Sarapes, Sombreros, etc – Viva Mexico – Size M to L!”
This reminds me of the movie, “Beaches”- she is the perfect hybrid of Mayim Bialik, who plays the younger Bette Midler character, and Bette Midler herself.
Then again, I have always thought that Joy Behar and Bette resemble eachother, too
For a nice handknit sweater, $125 is a bargain (heck, the yarn alone can cost twice that). For this, however? $125 is an insult! Along with everything else about the sweater, of course.
Well, now that I’ve figured out what a “Cowichan” sweater actually is (or is supposed to be, anyway); I don’t think this is one. And I doubt it’s 50 years old, either. How do you get your “wool blend” that white agian, after 50 years of your grandmother smoking in it?
Having spent the day wearing a cashmere sweater from the ’50′s I don’t mind the age so much as the eye-searing colours. Quick, get out the Tom Jones records before it conquers the planet!
C’mon cheap-asses! $125 is not that much! And this is going towards a good cause. You think her Manic Panic bill just pays itself? No! That shit’s expensive. After she’s done rifling gram’s closets looking for novelty vacation sweaters she has to practically beg to borrow her car and then the long drive to the mall to go to Hot Topic and then she has to fork over, like, $15 a jar! You know how much Manic Panic it takes to look that red?! A lot, so buy the damned sweater!
I agree Nico! Given the amount of gushing she does over this fashion mistake, the likes of which has not been equalled since mastadons romped the earth, PLEASE seller keep it and treasure it and bury it in your closet.
There’s a perfectly gorgeous girl under that – whatever that clown pinup look is. Barely even noticed the sweater. I’m sure her mother cries herself to sleep at night, but it’s her beauty to squander I guess.
This is what I have always imagined the monthly visitor to look like when personified as an actual Aunt Flo. Complete with super-absorbent sweater. *shudder*
Patty #24 I thought it was a ‘poisonous sea creature’ thing with old people’s sweaters. That, or something to make you easy to find when you wandered off into the snow.
She’d be a lot prettier without the “show me more of this Earth thing called kissing, Captain Kirk” wig, but her sweater would still remind me of when my old NES would get dirty enough to make the games start to glitch out.
It looks like an Atari game. I’d buy it if Pac Man was wearing a poncho and criss-crossing spaghetti western bullet belts. Oh, and smoking a cigar… and a handle bar mustache.
for some add reason, cheesy mexican (mmmm…. cheesey mexican *homer drool*) was HUGE in the 1950′s and early 60′s, so i from a “fashion” (trend?) point of view, i don’t see anything too bad with the sweater. run a search on ebay for “mexican vintage 50s 60s” and you’ll see far, far worse.
however, just because it’s from the era does NOT mean you need to dress up like Mad Men Joan Escaped From Arkham Asylum.
I’m really surprised by the number of you who are unfamiliar with this hairstyle. Those bangs were super-popular about ten years ago among gothic teenagers, vampire enthusiasts, Bettie Page fans who wanted to be a little more daring and apparently rockabilly sweater salesmen.
But seriously, those bangs were really popular for a while with a certain demographic. Since that group is usually Bettie Page fans who are enthusiastic about vampires I always assumed the look was inspired by Bela Lugosi’s Dracula widow’s peak, but I could be way off-base.
It’s great to see that Tiffany has taken her career from malls to thrift stores. In these tough economic times it’s heartening to see some stars appreciate the struggle of everyday Americans.
At first, I thought that this was Vicky Howell from “Knitty Gritty.”
And I am an idiot because I like the hair and the sweater. But my eyesight is bad.
here we have a fine example of the Mexican knit sweater cult. their sacred colors are white,red,green,yellow and blue.the pottery pattern symbolizes their traditions passed down through the generations. while the donkey lead by the man portrays their great leadership of their young. the red hair symbolizes an elder within the cult who holds the sacred texts of the cult.
I thought I recognized the model… it’s Amanda Suter of the Amandas. I see her around town all the time, and she’s one hell of a singer. The hair is a bit much, but who am I to judge – mine used to be dyed “pimpin’ purple”
though I never was a hair hopper… http://www.facebook.com/pages/The-Amandas/133511490044506?v=info

Oh poor Wilma. With Fred not making enough money at the quarry, she’s had to take on seedy modeling jobs.

her bangs literally, scare me.
They are Vulcan or something.
October 26, 2010 at 4:43 pm
Forget the sweater — where can I get hair like that? Halloween is only a few days away!
October 26, 2010 at 4:45 pm
That looks like Holiday Galaga.

Your hair should never match your skintone. it confuses people. Especially when it looks like you’re wearing a Xmas cookie.
I can’t hate her bangs. i’ve been guilty of asking for mine to be cut like a Romulan’s once or twice.
Hey! I was young. And the local theater was running a Star Trek movie marathon. And there might have been alcohol involved.

I accidentally walked into Joy Behar one day, she wears more make-up than that.

She’s a full steamer of hot tamales bathed in salsa rojo.
But shit man ,that sweater is tired already.

Yes, I’m feeling pedantic tonight. suck it, funnier people.
October 26, 2010 at 5:15 pm
i keep telling you they are using yarn made form unicorns that is why it is so expensive and we don’t see unicorns often
October 26, 2010 at 5:15 pm
Oh, cool! I’ve been looking for a sweater with flying saucers and kelp on it!
October 26, 2010 at 5:23 pm
Definitely steampunk. her face peels off to show the cogs. And I’m with WhimsyMistress on provenance and preservation.
October 26, 2010 at 5:24 pm
Old people wear sweaters because they’re chilled all the time.
Old people also don’t have very good eyesight.
This is why sweaters like this exist.
October 26, 2010 at 5:25 pm
I’m with whimsymistress. I know what a Cowichan is, and you, my friend, are no Cowichan.
October 26, 2010 at 5:29 pm
That does look like a flying saucer. I think this thing was knitted in Roswell, New Mexico!
October 26, 2010 at 5:53 pm
What’s shocking to me is that it has some pilling, meaning, somebody actually might have worn it. Several times even.
I don’t even know if I could wear it ironically.
October 26, 2010 at 6:02 pm

I can’t help it — I love her hair. But the sweater? I’d rather freeze to death than wear that thing.

Irella-Oddly enough, so were Mexico and the Cowichan Tribes.
October 26, 2010 at 8:01 pm
She loves this sweater, and every detail on it! How can she give it up, at any price?! She should keep it.
October 26, 2010 at 8:16 pm
I agree Nico! Given the amount of gushing she does over this fashion mistake, the likes of which has not been equalled since mastadons romped the earth, PLEASE seller keep it and treasure it and bury it in your closet.

Okay dying your hair, cool
Having crazy hairstyles, cool
Dying you EYEBROWS, still never looks good.
October 26, 2010 at 8:28 pm

Way to upstage the merchandise, though.

Having been the victim of more than one haircolorist who simply CANNOT figure out how to do natural-looking red hair, I’m not too rattled by the do.
I am having a hard time figuring out those green things along the bottom of the sweater. Does anyone else see a kangaroo taking a poop?
March 22, 2011 at 4:51 am
It’s obviously a Cactus knitted by someone who has never seen a Cactus…or been to Mexico, apparently.
October 27, 2010 at 5:56 am
Joy Behar! Too funny and so dead on. She has pretty sweet hair…the chick in the pic, not the real Lady Behar.
October 27, 2010 at 6:42 am
Crap I thought that was a wicked widows peak and it turns out they’re bangs. I guess she cut them to match her eyebrows.

I would totally wear that proudly! So chic! So PC!
October 27, 2010 at 7:16 am
It looks like an Atari game. I’d buy it if Pac Man was wearing a poncho and criss-crossing spaghetti western bullet belts. Oh, and smoking a cigar… and a handle bar mustache.

more evidence of impending nana-ggedon.
October 27, 2010 at 9:06 am
i feel the reason why it costs $125.00 is because it’s not only sewn by AUTHENTIC MEXICANS…. but it’s made from Mexicans, too.

November 23, 2010 at 1:54 am
I’m a Vancouver Islander, quite familiar with the Cowichan sweaters made here – this is no Cowichan sweater!
