Today’s children don’t remember the 1980s. Your kid would think you’re strapping some kind of drugged out horror version of Princess Leia’s hairdo onto her head.
OMG TIFFANY! Srsly I had a cabbage patch doll just like that…my childhood is now decapitated and showcased on some chick’s head. That smile she’s wearing looks oddly malicious now.
@Patty: I hear you. I have trouble considering anything I wore “vintage.” It’s got to be older than me to qualify.
I actually donated a literal box-load of late 80′s- early 90′s Liz Claiborne dresses in immaculate condition to Goodwill last spring. It never occurred to me I could open an Etsy shop and sell them as vintage.
“#10 Patty got abducted by a Steampunk Alien :
What the hell?
The ’80s are VINTAGE? When the fuck did THAT happen?”
Right around the time Bon Jovi and Guns & Roses became “classic rock”. Whenever that was.
Oh and I’m pretty sure my sister had these…can’t wait to tell her they are “vintage”. Of course she will just remind me that I am older than her, so it kind of loses something.
#18 catherder: I have a frilly sweater from 1986 in a drawer in my room. My 17 year old daughter had an “80s day” during spirit week at the school so I pulled it out (she’s the same size in every way that I was then). She looked at it and said, “Uh, no. But Thursday is ‘ugly sweater day’, I could use it then!”
I shook my cane and chased her off my lawn.
#21 Fluffysue: In the late 90s, I heard “Hurt So Good” by John Cougar Mellencamp on “LITE 103.1″ in my dentist’s waiting room. LITE? Lite music. John Cougar on the easy listening channel.
A human being should not have six eyes to stare with. I had great fear of my cabbage patch doll. And these ear muffs are NOT helping. I still remember its cold, dead eyes.
Awesome, now if only someone came up with the ear muffs for those earmuffs, that would be even cooler. Size-wise, I think a couple of Troll-dolls would be perfect.
this shop was on national tv with glenn beck and the
seller had hundreds of sales due to a coat she found
at a goodwill and returned it to glenn beck…look at
her sales for the end of nov., there is pages and pages of sales…she did a nice thing and was paid
back with a bunch of business…..
OMG I wanted those SO badly as a child haha. Unfortunately my parents didn’t think $25 earmuffs were a good investment living in south Texas lol. But I would have totally traded my shutter shades, leg warmers, fingerless gloves and even my 8 year old soul for a pair!
I listen to lots of 80′s music (I must have terrible taste), and every time I flip through radio stations and finally find a good song, it’s on some “Lite” or “Easy Listening” or “Adult Contemporary” station. Makes me feel like I’ve aged 20 years.
I had a Cabbage Patch Kid, but I don’t remember her name. I definitely remember my heart-shaped Cabbage Patch Kid sunglasses, though.
im not really sure if the cold chill i feel is the draft in here, or these things.
the girls smile kinda takes the edge off the creepyness of decapitated doll heads though.

When your waxy build-up has a face on it, it’s time to buy some q-tips.

NOT what “getting dolled up” means, thank you so much!

Another WA stater… you wear these so you won’t hear the la la coming.

these would have sold big in the 80′s
i hate that decade so very much
December 10, 2010 at 4:54 pm
Headheadphones? No? Just terrifying earmuffs? Ok.
December 10, 2010 at 4:54 pm
What the hell?
The ’80s are VINTAGE? When the fuck did THAT happen?
Vintage? VINTAGE!!?
I can hear you now, “Shut up, gramma, go back to listening to your Hall & Oates and A-Ha cassettes.”

Sure to keep your ears toasty and your bed empty in these chilly winter months.
December 10, 2010 at 5:03 pm
The upside about these earmuffs is that you won’t have to hear all the nasty things people are saying about you…
December 10, 2010 at 5:05 pm
It’s really refreshing how this kid is just smiling in the pic – and it even looks like it could be genuine.
No contrived expression of surprise, no all-too-real expression of resentment and seething rage. Just a damn smile!
She is so stoned. – HK
December 10, 2010 at 5:07 pm
Whoever buys this is going to put up an alchemy request for earmuffs for the …uh…earmuffs, I can tell.

Cath – you can rest easy knowing that some hipster will buy themself a ridiculous cowl with the proceeds of selling those dresses.

December 10, 2010 at 6:13 pm
And that model has such a sweet face. You’d never know she was dreaded Cabbage Patch Kid Slayer, who wore her victims’ body parts as trophies
December 10, 2010 at 6:20 pm
Sad when yarn hair looks better than your own. Even sadder when demonstrated by dolls clinging to your head.
December 10, 2010 at 6:40 pm
20 years and older is “vintage” I’m sorry to say. And I think anything over 75 years is “antique”
Yeah, my daughter raided my closet on ’80′s day, too.
Thing about these “earmuffs” is that with just some slight alterations, they could be made into Viking Glam. Just horns and glitter, and La La!

I miss garbage patch kids. At least you knew where you stood with those cards. Besides, pick-my-nose Paul would make a great vintage earmuff display.
December 10, 2010 at 7:57 pm
Did we just whiz by retro to vintage for 80′s stuff?
For some reason I thought Retro was the last 20 to 50 years. From 50 to 100 was vintage and over 100 years was antique.
WTH? It’s like turning 18 on the day the drinking age turns from 18 to 21. I never got to be retro!!!!
December 10, 2010 at 8:03 pm
#29 qwerty – that’s what I thought, too. Also, I love how easy your name is to type. Thumbs up!

The girl HERSELF looks just like a Cabbage Patch doll. Surprised no one else has mentioned this yet…

I had a pair of these…when I was 6, so, 1985. *sigh* I feel old now.

…these Cabbage patch dolls came with a birth certificate and death certificate
But beheading is so Wednesday Addams…

#28 nimbus the stickers were Garbage Pail kids. We know the mind slips now that we children of the ’80s are old and vintage
December 11, 2010 at 5:01 am
At last! A vintage, steampunk use for all those reduced heads I have in the fridge…
December 11, 2010 at 6:10 am
this image just makes me want to ask,
WHAT’S IN THE BASKET?
(I am referring of course, to the movie Basket Case and that dude that has the parasitic twin)
December 11, 2010 at 7:34 am
I had to run to the playroom and check that my Hillary Barbara still had her head. Those things really freak me out.
December 11, 2010 at 9:28 am
Man do those look warm. Can’t wait to get pulled over while wearing them.
December 11, 2010 at 9:36 am
Trixie, the middle triplet, was the oddball among the sisters — what with her body and everything. Sad.
December 11, 2010 at 11:18 am
@ Nerdbaby – You feel old? I was 15 years old in 1985 LOL
December 11, 2010 at 11:30 am
@ #36 crainny: That’s nice, but until you ‘shop first-generation Polly Pocket heads onto the Trolls’ ears it won’t be complete.
December 11, 2010 at 1:13 pm
#47 Elspet, you are TOTALLY right, it looks 100% better with pollies

December 12, 2010 at 11:04 am
Wow. I think I might have had these. Thanks for bringing THAT nightmare back!
December 12, 2010 at 5:17 pm
all we need to do is add micro speakers to them and make a song called the best of dolls screaming
December 12, 2010 at 7:58 pm
yessssssssssss

December 17, 2010 at 6:24 pm
I had some of these…yes it really did happen
December 19, 2010 at 10:47 pm
I had a pair of earmuffs with CPK faces on them when I was a kid in the 80s! Mine were blond… I wonder if they are still around somewhere.
March 22, 2011 at 8:00 pm
Oh my God, I had these when I was 5. Thank God I can get them again.
