If I look like this after carrying around an 8lb baby for 9 months and pushing it out my vagoo, I’d post my half naked, ever-so-slightly-racially-insensitive pics on Etsy too.
July 19, 2011 at 10:57 am
Yeah. Damn.
And at least she went all out with the setting and the pretty makeup and jewelry; beats the crap out of the rabbit fur lady.
Then again, for 3 and a half Gs…

We’re mean people here on Regretsy. We’re not THAT mean, though. And you’re not funny, witty, or saying anything worth reading, so why are you posting?

I hope this is made in north america. It makes me feel exploit-y looking at it

“I don’t like her” =/= “dumb”
“Someone I disagree with” =/= “dumb”

Woah! Holy curses, batman! There’s no reason to call this woman a bitch and artists maintain the right to price things however they like. I’m assuming she made this, so it’s her right to charge an arm or a leg or a pair of pants for it.

not necessarily. i have an indian friend with that line down her stomach and shes never been pregnant.
July 19, 2011 at 9:28 pm
Yeah, and Middle eastern (technically white) women can have the same thing to a smaller degree.

Stickywu, try Carleton S Coon for one, late president of the American Association of Physical Anthropologists. Although there is still some controversy around race classification, skin colour doesn’t actually determine race. Middle eastern peoples are classified as Caucasian, as are people of European descent, and in most countries, the terms Caucasian and white are interchangeable. For the purposes of race classification, people of Persian, Arabic, Celtic, or Nordic descent are all ‘white’. However, this is now a term that is not much used in anthropological circles to describe race.
In the 1920s, the US Supreme Court ruled that middle eastern people were not ‘white’ (god knows why), as far as I know this determination is unique. So, you could say the US is the only place that officially says middle eastern people are NOT technically white.
Okay, done with the lecturing, getting back in my box now.

Ronovo, it’s because race has zero founding in genetics nor scientific fact. It’s a social construct. The “purpose of race classification” is and always has been about making other people worth less than the people in charge, so we can justify exploiting them for labor.

Huh, really? Interesting. Where’s HK with that “The More You Know” graphic?
July 19, 2011 at 10:03 am
Burlap and raffia. Sounds very comfortable. And so reasonably priced!
July 19, 2011 at 10:45 am
Exactly what I want on my body
July 19, 2011 at 11:32 am
I love going for the sexy look only to be scratched constantly, almost like wearing heels because they look good but then regretting ever looking at them.
July 19, 2011 at 1:23 pm
Holy chafing CHI-CHIs!!
The seller’s work is very aesthetically pleasing, though. If that is, in fact, all hand embroidery, that’s pretty quality work. 35 Benjamins quality? I think not. So I wouldn’t buy it… or wear it… but it’s nice to look at.
July 19, 2011 at 4:28 pm
I can believe it’s well made, and a lot of work went into it, but damn it looks like a bathmat my mom had in the 70s.
July 19, 2011 at 9:55 pm
Yeah, I thought it was chenille.
July 19, 2011 at 9:19 pm
The design and color are actually great looking but burlap? For $3,500? Is she nuts?
July 19, 2011 at 10:06 am
That upper section looks decidedly painful. Really beautiful model though.
July 19, 2011 at 12:36 pm
The vest is not nearly tight enough to be causing that cleavage on its own. I call gaffing tape.
July 19, 2011 at 1:14 pm
I’m not so sure. The lacing across the empire line looks structural. It’s the kind of precarious arrangement which would only work if you were exactly the right size, though – a fraction too small and you’d slip out downwards, a fraction too large… well, you’d certainly draw attention.
July 19, 2011 at 1:45 pm
Her face is absolutely gorgeous.
July 19, 2011 at 10:09 am
Yeah, who’d bother wearing pants with this thing? It’s enough clothes all by itself. But what happens when someone throws her the frisbee?
July 19, 2011 at 11:09 am
Especially after spending $3500. I don’t want any other clothes distracting from my sun vest.
July 19, 2011 at 1:24 pm
After spending $3500, I couldn’t afford any other clothes…
July 21, 2011 at 7:40 am
or a house. hope that vest is weather-resistant.
July 19, 2011 at 10:15 am
I haven’t got a word to say about the picture itself because I’m stuck on the $3500 price tag. Seriously? This is Etsy, not Saks.
July 19, 2011 at 10:33 am
$3,500 for burlap.
July 19, 2011 at 10:59 am
Excuse you, that happens to be 100% Organic Burlap woven from various vegetable fibers grown right in the seller’s backyard. You’re paying for the luxury of knowing that your genetically modified breasts won’t be further tainted by genetically modified plant seeds and chemicals.
Bitches don’t know ’bout my sun vest.
July 19, 2011 at 6:05 pm
Oh, it’s a sack alright – a burlap one at that!
July 19, 2011 at 9:20 pm
The funny thing is when I saw “$3500 USD” I thought it meant $3,500 USED.
July 19, 2011 at 10:20 am
In my head, I can hear, ” COVER YOUR BANJINGO MORE BETTER! THIS IS ABOUT MOTHER AFRICA, NOT ABOUT BEING A TAWDRY NATGEO COVER GIRL!” And when the voices in my head are in all caps, I need another drink.
July 19, 2011 at 10:24 am
It seams highly impractical to wear a top and no pants… do you suppose they would still let her into the gas station so long as she is wearing shoes?
July 19, 2011 at 10:31 am
Is it a sign that I’m growing up if I didn’t notice she was only wearing a vest?
July 19, 2011 at 11:16 am
Yes. You stop that, you stop that right now! Bad! No growing up for you..!!!
July 19, 2011 at 10:33 am
For $3500 it had better come with pants.
July 19, 2011 at 10:49 am
For $3500 it had better come with pants and jewelry.
July 19, 2011 at 12:03 pm
for $3500 it’d better come with a fuckin Honda Civic.
July 19, 2011 at 12:44 pm
I’d like to thumbs up about 12 more times.
July 19, 2011 at 1:01 pm
it better also pleasure me orally, make me a nice omeltte and call my mother just to say hello… shits made of burlap
July 19, 2011 at 4:59 pm
And look like Towel Mike.
July 19, 2011 at 1:13 pm
For that money it had damn well better come with a shitload of pants.
July 19, 2011 at 10:42 am
After visiting her shop (the link above is broken, BTW)it does say that the profits go to a charity to help protect the Amazon rain forest. Which is good, but it still doesn’t explain charging $3,500 for burlap.
Or this:
which not only looks like the towels my grandmother has been using since the ’70s, but is also made out of burlap and raffia. And has a $4,500 price tag.
July 19, 2011 at 11:15 am
I’m always dubious when a seller says that “profits” or a “portion of the proceeds” go to charity–it’s up to them to determine what covers their materials and labor…and then what’s left?
July 19, 2011 at 11:45 am
I would wear that one. I wouldn’t buy it, but I would wear it if I had it.
July 19, 2011 at 12:39 pm
With some upholstery fabric and string, you could make it.
July 19, 2011 at 2:23 pm
Burlap and raffia and no apparent bra underneath? Ow nipples ow ow ow. I hope there IS gaffing tape, it’d probably be more comfortable.
July 19, 2011 at 11:03 am
for the love of god woman, put on some damned pants!
July 19, 2011 at 11:25 am
My friend has burlap coffee sacks… cha-ching! Fashion career, here I come!
July 19, 2011 at 12:14 pm
Raffia and burlap? Doesn’t she have a nice comfortable hairshirt instead?
July 19, 2011 at 12:19 pm
Etsy really isn’t the place for ‘high fashion’.
Nevermind, who am I to say?
July 19, 2011 at 12:32 pm
Two words: Nipple Rash!!!!!!!!!!
July 19, 2011 at 12:35 pm
I think it’s a gorgeous vest. It’s lined with cotton and claims to be hand embroidered. If that’s the case, it’s done really well. I bet the picture could belong in a fashion mag. The model is beautiful. $3,500 isn’t unreasonable for what it claims to be if the designer were better known. As it is, it’s much too pricey.
July 19, 2011 at 1:16 pm
In most fashion mags I’ve seen, the models at least wear underpants.
July 19, 2011 at 1:48 pm
Haha, I just read “moist fashion mags”
I spend too much time here…
July 19, 2011 at 2:12 pm
My only is guess is they looked at the top and thought ‘not enough cleavage, we definitely won’t attract the customer base we’re looking for . . . what to do what to do . . . hmmm, I’ve got! . . . ‘
July 19, 2011 at 2:16 pm
Put on some underpants, girl.
July 19, 2011 at 3:01 pm
I’m confused by the fact that the listing says “custom order”, but the description say to contact her for a custom piece. Huh?
July 19, 2011 at 5:38 pm
The vest is beautiful and so is the model. It’d be such a cute picture with some kind of bottom, even a leaf! The vag hands are a little distracting.
Also best photo title ever, April!
July 19, 2011 at 6:07 pm
vag hands – I don’t remember that in All that Jazz?
July 19, 2011 at 7:25 pm
She is gorgeous. I’m surprised no one has said that for $3,500, she should come with the vest!
July 19, 2011 at 9:04 pm
Burlap and Raffia don’t sound itchy enough. Can this be made with Fiberglass insulation and Steel Wool instead?
July 19, 2011 at 11:17 pm
I actually really like that – 3,500 dollars?!? Aw.
