I could see this being very useful in preventing head injury. Which would happen when you catch sight of yourself in a mirror and pass out from horror.
I try to be sensitive, but face it: “retard” is going the way of “lame.” I can barely walk, but I’m not offended by people saying something stupid is “lame.”
For that matter, I’m stupid, and don’t get offended by people using it as an insult.
I would bet that 99.99% of the people who thumbed down killgore’s comment did so not because they think that the idea of the mentally disabled inflicting self-harm is sooooo funny! but rather because Regretsy doesn’t do sacred cows. If you find a joke offensive you thumb it down and move on, you don’t attempt to shame the poster. Much of the humor found in the comments ranges from tasteless to offensive. You don’t worry about offending people here, you only worry about if you are funny or not. When everyone starts censoring themselves because they are worried about “someone being offended” the comments will stop being funny really fast. The temptation is to say “well the thing that offends me is really offensive and I have a good reason to be offended.” It might be and you may have, but everyone feels that way about ‘The Thing That Offends Them.’
You know, you don’t hear people with mental illnesses getting all pissy over the word ‘crazy’ getting tossed around so easily. And lemme be the first to tell ya, that shit (mental illness) is a bitch to live with.
There are things here that have offended me. I just shrug and move on. I’ll check back tomorrow when the topic is something else. This is not the place to get pissy. Please just do us a favor and flounce-n-bounce. The only thing that offends the collective “us” is crappy crafts and pretentious craftards crafters.
Jeez, I see at least twently like her on the bus every week.
Something about women that age, and that expression. You know which one. The one that says, “I don’t have any good nerves left, but I do have a 30lb handbag and I will whup you upside your smart-mouth head!”
Hey. Cake is cake. If there’s one thing etsy has taught me, you can festoon pretty much anything in feminine hygiene products, and suddenly, it’s better.
This is one of my Dad’s all-time favorites. My brother took it to a new levcel with “higher than giraffe snatch,” but I think he may have that one copyrighted.
Does sudden menopause have you down? Are scattered reminders of your lost fertility strewn about your bathroom, provoking fits of rage when you’ve run out of your little, yellow pills?
It’s time to upcycle your cycle, starting with this glorious piece of fashion headwound headwear. Tune in next week for the tampon-machier instructional hour.
One X-mas, a college roomie and I stole a very sad little evergreen tree from someone’s ranch-ette and decorated it with tampons. We drew swirly red lines on the tampons with a sharpie so they looked kinda sorta like Sofa King We Todd Did candy canes.
I’m more struck by the “flower.” It looks like someone has repurposed an ancient garter by wrapping it around a cheap decoration from a dusty old diner.
You know, I thought those flowers looked like they had been purchased from a Dollar General and then left sitting in a graveyard for several months before they were ‘repurposed’ myself.
I too was thinking that the seller had raided a cemetery. On the plus side, unlike the seller who suggested stealing from Spencer’s Gifts, these will never be missed in inventory.
Quacker Factory is one of the most unintentionally hilarious things on TV. If you haven’t seen that or the atrocity that is “The Big Joe Polka Show” you really haven’t been living.
The Quacker Factory lady just passed away. I wonder which sequined stuffed headband they’ll put on her for the funeral. I bet she had a super-special one stashed away.
ohhh, this could be very useful for that time of the month when you know you’re due to start your period, but haven’t yet. No more cluttering up the purse with emergency supplies!
Plus it has the added benefit of keeping other people from actually talking to you. Quite a deal for $35!
Exactly, it is quite the multipurpose item. Ugly hat, people repellant, a comfy pillow for naps on a plane or at your desk, all before it ends up as feminine protection.
but, she doesn’t have opposible thumbs to take it off.
She’s like those poor dogs whose owners dress them in horrible outfits, and all thay can do is plan what dead animal to leave in their bed for retribution. Only, she gets no retribution either. *sigh*
Actually I can see this being very useful to Regretsians. Wearing one of these, you won’t get injured while face-palming over all the crap that ends up on this site!
Someone really needs to make this into a dress-your-own Jesus refrigerator magnet set so we can buy them. . .I think my niece & nephew need more corrupting.
Whoa Nelly! I was up to two thumbs and now it’s back to one*, which means that someone here gave a thumbs down to get well cards for April.
Fess up, bitch. I will have your thumbs for dinner.
I’ve been looking for the appropriate headwear for the renaissance faire (yes, I’m that kind of nerd) that won’t require me to put my long, luxurious hair in a snood.
I can see by this item that my search is still on.
That’s a very impressive boobshelf, Patty! Alas, even though I’ve gained lots of weight in recent years, I fear mine will never be as impressive, to my husband’s great disappointment. Although he has the sense not to complain.
This is going to sound weird, but… were you two sword-fighting there? I saw a picture in a comments thread of two faboo women sword-fighting, and I thought I recognized the corset fabric.
(Yeah, I’m a sewing geek and notice fabric before boobs, what can I say.)
I did a mobile upload of my own boobshelf on Facebook and some of the comments from my lovely friends mentioned that I should take photos of as many boobshelves as possible at the faire (small, two-day faire in Janesville, WI). I couldn’t as it was cold that day and all the ladies were cloaked or shawled or whatever.
But, this was at my friend’s tent and I walked up and said, “Who wants to be in a boob-smooshin’ picture with me!?”
The guys all volunteered, of course, but she was the only woman who would boob-smoosh with me. And hers was impressive… she was about six inches taller than me too, hence why she’s leaning forward and I’m leaning back (I was on my tip-toes).
I am glad that you asked. I AM a jealous bitch when it comes to boobs (I couldn’t hide the friend’s necklace in my ersatz cleavage) so refrained from mentioning that they(the two sets) looked like they were fighting; made me think of summo wrestling:)
Without the flower/garter thing it looks like a crib bumper. Is she endangering sprogs to make these? Call CPS (but only if they are breatfeed, uncircumcised sprogs).
Looking at the collection of crappily-made floppy-brimmed hats and other headgear decorated with assorted WTFery, I can conclusively say: The next Philip Treacy* she ain’t!
*Philip Treacy is the milliner who made Princess Beatrice’s Royal Wedding hat, if you weren’t aware. He’s very talented and very crazy!
Well, since she auctioned it off for charity and it raised £80,000, I’d say it was well worth it. Not that she paid for it in any case, I’m sure. Royal comp, you know.
Oh, I disagree, I really think that Princesses Bea and Eugenie should be wearing a Queen Esther Lee design for the next big royal celebration… oh, their gran’s diamond Jubilee is coming up next year, perfect!! Something like this should fit the bill: http://www.etsy.com/listing/75769779/queen-esther-lee-designs-topper “Great for any occasion”.
Excellent, I needed something on hand to wear to weddings that will say “I don’t like you, but I wanted to suck your open bar dry so I decided attending this ‘dressy but not too dressy’ shindig. Enjoy trying to write a thank you note for the hideous flamingo salt shakers I got you.”
The all-over-the-place seam in the center of the “headband” is driving me nuts. I know we can’t all sew straight lines (lemme show you some of my efforts at seaming sometime). That’s why the BF joins in and helps out when something needs to look good.
Also, side note – years ago I helped my store manager inventory leftover merchandise at a location that had been closed. We had flowers there that we had to count and tag, and every time we touched them, they puffed dust. I think the flowers on this headpiece came from that crappy inventory.
I realize that there are worse crimes against fashion…such as everything about this…but what what really bugs me are the unfinished edges on the dangly ribbons(?) that hang down in front of the face.
Seriously–tuck them up or finish the edges. Is it so hard??? Jeez.

booo! i don’t know which is in worst taste, this comment or the hat?
June 20, 2011 at 2:14 pm
it’s just not funny when your kid has to wear a helmet and be called by that word. red thumb away assholes.
June 20, 2011 at 2:39 pm
No, you’re right, that’s hard. I wouldn’t want to see it either.
June 20, 2011 at 2:41 pm
Yeah your comment was kind of lacking in the snark…Oh wait, you meant the comment above with the word RETARD in it.
Are you offended by it because you have someone in your life who is special needs? or are you offended by it for the drama it creates.
Personally I get offended by people who think they’re allowed to be offended for someone else.
June 20, 2011 at 2:50 pm
I’m not offended by anything. I do possess empathy, so I can understand why someone would find a comment like that hurtful.
For me personally, I’d be more injured by the term “hipster” than anything else. Ew.
June 20, 2011 at 2:52 pm
i think it’s as tasteless as using racial slurs for the sake of comedy. seeing my son harm himself is my personal hell, it’s not funny.
June 20, 2011 at 3:07 pm

For that matter, I’m stupid, and don’t get offended by people using it as an insult.
I’m also fat. And a bitch. So…
June 20, 2011 at 3:07 pm
P.S., if you ask my adult son why he’s so weird, he’ll tell you he has ass burgers.

From http://www.m-w.com Definition of RETARDED
: slow or limited in intellectual or emotional development or academic progress
I would say that hipsters are limited in emotional development and academic progress, wouldn’t you?
Simmer down little teapot. People can call me a dyke, a lesbo, and a crazy animal lady, and I just smile and walk on.
Your personal hell sucks, but this isn’t the place for personal hell. It’s a place for Crafting Hell.

Queen Esther or Aunt Esther?
June 20, 2011 at 2:09 pm
100 up thumbs. Haven’t seen Aunt Esther in year. I can just hear her talking to that seller “you ole’ fool..”
June 20, 2011 at 7:40 pm
Jeez, I see at least twently like her on the bus every week.
Something about women that age, and that expression. You know which one. The one that says, “I don’t have any good nerves left, but I do have a 30lb handbag and I will whup you upside your smart-mouth head!”
And that’s why I prefer to take the train.
June 20, 2011 at 9:43 pm
You describe the expression perfectly, but it can be amusing to see is wielded against someone who deserves it, like this seller.
June 20, 2011 at 2:10 pm

June 20, 2011 at 1:49 pm
Pair this with some tampax earrings and a vintage gap skirt and you’re in business.
I guess they had to do *something* with all those old, fat kotex now that the new ultra-thins are so vogue.
June 20, 2011 at 7:43 pm
I am fairly sure they use the thick pads in hospitals and airplanes as pillows.

June 20, 2011 at 1:53 pm
I had to re-read ‘tampon-machier’ before I got the meaning…and then my mind went into hyperdrive with the possibilities.
June 20, 2011 at 1:56 pm
Tampons can decorate more than just ceilings.
June 20, 2011 at 4:23 pm
One X-mas, a college roomie and I stole a very sad little evergreen tree from someone’s ranch-ette and decorated it with tampons. We drew swirly red lines on the tampons with a sharpie so they looked kinda sorta like Sofa King We Todd Did candy canes.
June 20, 2011 at 2:24 pm
I’ve been wondering what to do with my leftover tampons & pads, but I’m not sure this hat thing is the way I would’ve gone.
“Tampon-machier Instructional Hour” – that’s the new show on the DIY Network, isn’t it?

the tampoons are still good for bloody noses.

June 21, 2011 at 7:45 am
Oooo, now that IS good to know! Neat tip… I’ll hang onto mine then, for next time I get caught in a shoot out.
June 21, 2011 at 11:26 am
And by “leftover” I trust and hope you mean “not planning to use them because I’ve had a hysterectomy” and not “previously enjoyed”.

Even this fake head won’t make direct eye contact out of the same that comes with wearing this thing.

I thought she just looks sad & defeated
June 20, 2011 at 2:45 pm
She’s actually a hipster mannequin gazing out the window.

I would also like to add that everything about this makes me think “sketchy thrift store on Rt. 51.”
June 20, 2011 at 1:53 pm
I used to work for a GI doctor. This hat looks exactly like the colonoscopy pictures of intestinal cancer patients.

Does that say ‘Quacker Factory Stretch Twill Crop Pants with Bugle Beaded Trim?’ I can see the advertisement now…
“Gee, Mildred, I really like your new crop pants! They hug your curves just right! And is that bugle beading trim?”
“Thanks, Ethel! They’re Quacker Factory.” *wink*

Oh, I was trying to figure out what “swordfighting” is a euphemism for, since it’s women.
June 20, 2011 at 7:53 pm
I since tracked down the picture and the two fencers were in fact different women than you and your friend, but they also had boobshelves. *shrug*
(I am petite up top, so my chest in a corset tends to resemble a picture railing more than a full on shelf. *laughs*)

I am glad that you asked. I AM a jealous bitch when it comes to boobs (I couldn’t hide the friend’s necklace in my ersatz cleavage) so refrained from mentioning that they(the two sets) looked like they were fighting; made me think of summo wrestling:)

She could probably get a contract with BP to plug the next pesky oil well that “leaks”.
June 20, 2011 at 2:37 pm
I think it’s supposed to be worn with the beautiful shoes she offers : http://www.etsy.com/listing/75774777/queen-esther-lee-designs
June 20, 2011 at 8:16 pm
Those made me laugh put loud.
June 20, 2011 at 8:17 pm
Sorry, in pain, no drugs, still laughing. What’s a typo between bitches?

Without the flower/garter thing it looks like a crib bumper. Is she endangering sprogs to make these? Call CPS (but only if they are breatfeed, uncircumcised sprogs).

OK even the faux barnwood can’t save that image! Yikes!

Looking at the collection of crappily-made floppy-brimmed hats and other headgear decorated with assorted WTFery, I can conclusively say: The next Philip Treacy* she ain’t!
*Philip Treacy is the milliner who made Princess Beatrice’s Royal Wedding hat, if you weren’t aware. He’s very talented and very crazy!
June 20, 2011 at 4:13 pm
What’s *really*** crazy is shelling out 3000 clams for that atrocity.
June 20, 2011 at 6:05 pm
Well, since she auctioned it off for charity and it raised £80,000, I’d say it was well worth it. Not that she paid for it in any case, I’m sure. Royal comp, you know.
June 20, 2011 at 5:00 pm
Oh, I disagree, I really think that Princesses Bea and Eugenie should be wearing a Queen Esther Lee design for the next big royal celebration… oh, their gran’s diamond Jubilee is coming up next year, perfect!! Something like this should fit the bill: http://www.etsy.com/listing/75769779/queen-esther-lee-designs-topper “Great for any occasion”.

Wonky mannequin has wonky eye.

My daughter took one look at that and said “That is not a crown. It’s a pile of poo. On an ugly fake head thing.”
I’m sorta proud of her.
June 20, 2011 at 3:50 pm
My 5 year old daughter took one look at it and said “It looks like a hat with orange poop and orange peels on it.” I think I am sensing a theme here.

Hats happen

Excellent, I needed something on hand to wear to weddings that will say “I don’t like you, but I wanted to suck your open bar dry so I decided attending this ‘dressy but not too dressy’ shindig. Enjoy trying to write a thank you note for the hideous flamingo salt shakers I got you.”
June 20, 2011 at 7:09 pm
Oddly enough, I actually enjoyed writing those thank you notes. It was an exercise in creative writing you don’t get often.
June 20, 2011 at 4:14 pm
Damn, I could have worn that to the royal wedding.

Good one, BootsCooter!
Whoa, just realized you’re probably BootScooter — Sorry, too many vagoos lately!

The all-over-the-place seam in the center of the “headband” is driving me nuts. I know we can’t all sew straight lines (lemme show you some of my efforts at seaming sometime). That’s why the BF joins in and helps out when something needs to look good.
Also, side note – years ago I helped my store manager inventory leftover merchandise at a location that had been closed. We had flowers there that we had to count and tag, and every time we touched them, they puffed dust. I think the flowers on this headpiece came from that crappy inventory.

I realize that there are worse crimes against fashion…such as everything about this…but what what really bugs me are the unfinished edges on the dangly ribbons(?) that hang down in front of the face.
Seriously–tuck them up or finish the edges. Is it so hard??? Jeez.
June 20, 2011 at 9:33 pm
I’m in agreement, suzyactiondoll. Those ends look like they were ripped off of adult diapers.
>:-P They also remind me of umbilical cords that were flattened.
June 20, 2011 at 10:00 pm
Ohh, very wombynly.
June 20, 2011 at 9:31 pm
Dressy but not too…oh, forget it. They don’t count.
June 20, 2011 at 10:00 pm
Someone found a use for that old tablecloth.
