Rapture Giveaway – Lot 2
Lot 2: “This is Not Steampunk” Cuffs
These cuffs were handmade by a mysterious Regretsian who chooses to remain nameless.
Materials: vegetable-tanned leather with brass button studs
Methods: pyrography, dyed and finished by hand with environmentally friendly leather dyes and finish
Included are two straps for adjustable fit.
The Steampunk cuff is a faithful reproduction of our THIS IS NOT STEAMPUNK logo. The Retweet cuff is a reproduction of this tweet, which someone posted here a while ago, and has become a favorite for many of you:
The cuffs can be worn ironically, non-ironically, or used as collars to butch up your Chihuahua.
The cuffs have been treated with a water-resistant finisher, though getting them wet is not recommended.
Like this lot? Enter to win now!

Read this as “Love the Twinkie”. Looked for an embarrassingly long time for a twinkie in the picture.

Funny, because my cat got left behind. She’s always been a Jewcat though.

So far most of the dogs that are showing up in these photos appear to be whippets or whippet-crosses of some sort. Clearly this must tell us something about Regretsy readers…

I can’t remember, are you the one who woke your daughter up at midnight to take this picture?
May 21, 2011 at 12:43 pm
The metal grommets make it look like your sweatshirt has tiny little eyes and is still reading.
also bonus points for The Giving Tree.
May 21, 2011 at 2:21 pm
So glad someone noticed the Giving Tree. It’s the only kids book I have that could somehow be construed to be religious.
Not pictured, my contacts and dental fillings. I am desperate to see someone take a picture that clearly shows their breast implants left behind. I assume that the Rapture is like time travel as depicted in “The Time Traveler’s Wife”, where you can’t take anything artificial with you.

My husband and I were raptured together.
May 21, 2011 at 12:36 pm
You’d have been more raptured if you invited the neighbors.
May 21, 2011 at 12:55 pm
HA! What’s particularly awesome about your comment is that we rent an apartment from a born-again minister and her husband. We’re the heathens upstairs.
I did consider taking a picture of the pile of laundry on the bedroom floor…

May 21, 2011 at 3:03 pm
In Flickr you can look at your picture and above it where it says “Action” – go to the right of that button where the envelope and Facebook icons are and click on the arrow- it should drop down to show options: Share, Grab, or Grab HTML/BBCode -
I had to figure flickr out too! The one time I use it is on Regretsy!
Copy the one that is the HTML/BBCode and paste it here..

May 21, 2011 at 12:40 pm
In all honesty, I’m not fucking going anywhere, except maybe to the liquor store. But if I did get called home, there had better be Playboy’s and Aloe & E Toilet paper waiting for me when I get there.

Stared at this for 10 good minutes before I realized what you meant by “hoovered.” Having a dog named Hoover as well added to the awkward confusion.

Were you raptured in the midst of a suicide attempt? Or were you planning to shoot Jesus when he tried to abduct you?
May 21, 2011 at 1:11 pm
Suicide. I probably should’ve wrote my letter in sharpie, but I couldn’t find one:(. It says “all I wanted was to change the size of the smell”.

May 21, 2011 at 9:26 pm
Being raptured meant it was going to go bad anyway, might as well put it to use first.
May 21, 2011 at 1:01 pm
These are all depressing/somehow heartening. Most of you fellow Regretsians would go out like me: sweat pants, lying in bed with a computer, surrounded by messy rooms and food wrappers. Is it good or bad that we’re all so much alike?
May 21, 2011 at 6:56 pm
I’m a little depressed that all of your houses are so clean (relative to mine, anyway) I wouldn’t need to lay out clothes to take a picture. My bedroom floor would do just nicely.

Where can I get these cuffs? I’ve searched Etsy for them longer than I’d like (longer than 2 minutes), but didn’t see them. I’ll go all black market with it and send a money order to the creator. Then you don’t have to worry about Etsy and paypal fees. I don’t think I’ve wanted something so bad. But dear god I want these.
Also, I love all the pictures. If only I had a camera…

Why not draw a picture? Stick figures would be hi-larious. MS Paint for that beginner look!

When the rapture came, I was all:
And Jesus was all “Oh crap! A gay kid wielding a Nerf gun! You’re staying behind!”
And that’s how you avoid the rapture.

This took me all day to get to do. I submit (with that choice of words) for your approval: “How will I find the bloody key now?!?”

I got my husband to pose nearly nekkid for this. I can only pray I win something. I’m rather proud of his willingness. He bows to my love of regretsy, which is why I have the whips.

Congrats! My husband saw this when we got up this morning and said “Oh hell no. They can have the cuffs.”

Wow I just got a chill. My pap used to have a dog statue exactly like that. It sat beside his chair and he would lean his cane around its neck.

Mine is a piggy bank that my grandmother bought me when I was 3. Don’t think I could get rid of it, even though it has been empty for years.

Out of all the lots on Regretsy today, I want those cuffs the most!

Raptured while out tagging.

I had to work and I’m pretty sure I missed the cut off. It’s ok, though, if I’d had the camera, I could have shot the empty bakery racks with me in front an explained that the bagels where Raptured and I was not worthy… Sigh.
I would so buy a set of cuffs like that.

So I can’t figure out images either, and this is what would happen if I was raptured on my day off… Sitting nude under a blanket in my laz-y-boy while reading my email… I Don’t like clothing, but it’s hot and the bf wants the door open for a breeze.
