I voted for Viking Glam (obviously), but I’m sure someone will come along who will do a delicate colored-pencil sketch of your human waste; all you need do is send a color photo. The sketch will be mounted on wood decoupaged with laxative-box labels.
Pasties made by five year olds in kindergarten art class. The recent cut backs in school funding have made schools look for creative ways to raise funds
I put Plarn sex toy cozies in the other suggestion.
Because if those alchemy requests tell us anything, people are getting things to stuff up their butt for Christmas. For valentines they’ll clearly need something to keep them in…
I had to vote for the earrings that reach the ground. Not so much because that was my favorite, but because I saw a woman today wearing earrings that were seriously 8 inch long sticks. They looked like chopsticks. Maybe they were chopsticks. I don’t know, I was at a stoplight and she was in the car next to me.
I voted for jewelry made from scabs. I am resolving to become an advocate for Dermatillomania in the New Year, but rehabbing them is a chore, so when they inevitably fall off the wagon, I’ll create darling jewelry and fascinators from the results, thus funding my new endeavor. Hey, Unemployment is due to run out right before the holidays-don’t judge!
I voted for viking glam. I’m gonna get started on some right now because I know it will be big by next summer at Ren faires, and I will be rich!
My friend suggested to me earlier that he would like to invent and market aerosolyzed thorazine in-a-can, so you can instantly knock out annoying artsy-fartsy types that make fabulous amounts of money by doing things like imprinting their anus with lipstick on a piece of paper and then signing it. I’m thinking he may be on to something, and would like to suggest it for a future fad.
I went with Merkin made of Pet Hair. Of course, I had to google “merkin” first to find out what the fuck it was I was voting for. Thanks, HK, for broadening my vocabulary!
I think a merkin made from the hair of either a calico or a tuxedo cat would be the most interesting. Nice pussy fur to cover the snatch with some thatch . . .
I’m so pleased to see that many share my (no longer secret) fetish for Viking Glam.
Vikings DID NOT, in fact, have horns on their helmets. Fortunately, we are allowed vast acres of artistic license. AH-OO-GAH, my friends. AH-OO-FRIGGIN-GAH!!!

I voted for impaled heads, because, who wouldn’t want an impaled head on an umbrella?
Vikings and/or Celts used to have impaled heads decorating the village entryways. I’m sure we can work the impaled heads on umbrellas into Viking Glam somehow.
Or if you put goggles onthem, would they be steampunk?
I voted for human heads impaled on parasols: perfect for that “Pride and Prejudice and Zombies” look. Although I was seriously tempted to vote for Mounties. There just hasn’t been enough Mountie visibility since “Due South” ended.
I voted Viking Glam, and logged on just to predict that 2011′s “umm…” of the year would be “Viking helmets didn’t actually have horns”. But I see that someone has already posted that in today’s thread! Guess I’m off to invent a flux capacitor for my Delorean.
(Or maybe it would be easier to put my money on the dark horse of “Finland isn’t part of Scandinavia.”)
I voted for all because you are so good at predicting (1) what Etsy already promotes ad nauseum (2) what Etsy will promote ad nauseum and (3) how Etsy has changed the definition of “quality handmade” to bargain bin junk and/or sure-to-shock.
However, I would have added Cowls that Hide Your Bald Spot on an OverUsed-Model-soon-to-be-Regretsy Mug & t-shirt.
“Scarves that wrap around your head and get stuffed in your mouth”
I hope to God these are readily available soon. I know quite a few people who I would force to wear one.
I’m not even sure what “Viking Glam” is, but I must HAVE IT! I’m going to dig up that plastic Halloween viking helmet and glitter-ify it now, so I’m ready.
Viking glam sounds nice… Take one bearded and disgruntled Scandinavian, some fairy dust, chains, blue nail varnish, lots and lots of open leotards, and voilà!
I have a sneaking suspicion alternating handfuls of Last Call Jalapeno Popper Doritos and oatmeal chocolate chip cookies were consumed voraciously during and after the compilation of this list.
I voted for long earrings, but only for selfish reasons. I secretly have made a dozen pairs of earrings such as “clutch tanglers” “baby spider monkey habitats” “bass master sprill fizzers” and “sticky protein noodle thai sticks” to put up for sale in my etsy shop.
a ‘naked-look’ crochet adult unitard (can be human style or avatar) with steampunk cog buttons strategically sewn on in place of vagazzles and nipple pasties. For male version, ask for crochet steampunk willie warmer instead of vagazzling.
The ABBA revival is about to be an ABBA-lanche on the back of the Viking Glam invasion. I’m expecting a lot of sequined jumpsuits, horned helmets, plaits and moustaches. The platform ugg-boot’s time has arrived.

November 30, 2010 at 8:28 pm
I too voted for Viking Glam. Although I think it should be more properly labeled Ghost Viking Glam.
November 30, 2010 at 8:37 pm
I voted other, pasties made from pet hair. With googly eyes.
November 30, 2010 at 8:38 pm
Oooo, the last one, please. Low-rent Isadora Duncan FTW!!
November 30, 2010 at 8:39 pm
(And since they all moved around, I will clarify: the earrings that reach to one’s brake pedal.)

You joke about Prospector Chic, but it’s closer than you think:

pet hair merkins for sure… especially for those creepy furries.
although i think the glove/bra has already been done
im sure someone will come up with a line of anus print greeting cards..
November 30, 2010 at 10:12 pm
Viking Glam. With just a touch of Steampunk.
And I agree with #12 about Mounties. You can never have too many Mounties.
November 30, 2010 at 10:13 pm
Clearly the wave of the future is mounties wearing toner cartridge fascinators.

I went to Iceland over the summer, so Viking Glam it is! Also Iceland was by far the hippest place I have ever been. By far.
November 30, 2010 at 11:59 pm
I voted for Viking Glam, but probably should have submitted Meatpacker Glam since I live in Wisconsin.

Does this mean skants will no longer be in style? Or are they a timeless classic like twinset and pearls?

Crocheted straight-jackets — leading to…
Mental patient chic. (Which trend my bangs may have launched after a recent, ill-advised trip to Supercuts at the mall.)

Oh wait. You mean like the guys in red jackets riding horses?
Crap. I was thinking of a whole ‘nuther sort of mounting…mounties…

@Eni the Goo: I saw “baby perfume” at the store recently…. I thought it was a joke at first but sadly it is not.
December 2, 2010 at 10:08 am
You just put this list up so we would actually make this crap. I am on to you Helen!
December 2, 2010 at 5:29 pm
Damn I voted the other day quickly because I was in a hurry and now I forgot what my “other” was. Something about pants. crap.
December 2, 2010 at 10:41 pm
