GET YOUR SHOP ON
Through the magic of computer fuckery, we have surrounded Dancing Dror with some of the handmade finery you can buy RIGHT DAMN NOW in the April’s Army charity shop on Etsy!
April’s Army is one of the largest teams on Etsy, and is comprised entirely of Regretsy members. During the last week of each month, participating sellers set aside at least one handmade item to benefit Regretsy’s charity fund. ALL profits go directly to the person in need.
Last month, the team raised over $8,000 for Mary, an Etsy seller who was about to lose her house. Your generosity helped bring our total raised for charitable purposes to over $100,000. So, fuck you.
While we’ve been focused mainly on helping people get a fresh start, this month we’re raising money to benefit someone in an entirely different way.
Carli is a recent high school graduate with a passion for cosmetology. Her father has remarried and started a new family, and her mother is a single parent with little help. Rather than add another burden to her mother’s financial situation, Carli has decided to put herself through beauty school.
Now, I don’t know what kind of drive and focus you had as a teenager, but this wasn’t me. I was too busy being bored and stoned and hating my parents because they wouldn’t turn on the air conditioning. So the idea of a young woman earning her tuition by knitting and drawing and selling her work on Etsy sounds like a different species.
She has selected a Paul Mitchell partner school in her area for a variety of reasons, one of which is that she believes this will open more doors for her than coming from a community college or occupational school. And this is another reason I want to help Carli; she is already looking down the road at her chances of being hired by the Walt Disney company, her eventual goal. And between here and there, she hopes to work at a boutique at Disneyland that turns little girls into princesses.
I love the idea of starting a motivated young person off on a creative career. So this month, we are going to try to raise half of Carli’s tuition, and send her off to school with a brown bag of fuckery and a kick in the ass.
If you would like to be a part of this effort, there are two ways you can help.
1. Visit Carli’s Etsy store, and purchase something directly from her.
2. Visit April’s Army on Etsy and take a look at the handmade merchandise being sold specifically to benefit Carli. A great group of talented sellers have given so much of themselves, and there are some incredible things for sale.
Even if you can’t afford to buy anything or don’t see something you want, please take a moment to visit these stores and show some love for these sellers. They have been unbelievably generous with their time and talent. And you can always share the link to the April’s Army Etsy store!
And click here to like April’s Army on Facebook, and get news, updates and sneak peeks of upcoming inventory!
Thanks for your kindness and support.
UPDATE: We would like to wish Dancing Dror a speedy recovery from a injury that has left him unable to dance for your slack-jawed pleasure. In the meantime, you can see him featured here on the CNET Buzz report, which kindly credits us for his internet superstar status. The Israeli man candy hits the floor at about 5:34.
August 30, 2011 at 10:55 am
Dancing Dror broke his groove thing.
Hearts are smashed all over Israel, nay, around the globe today.
August 30, 2011 at 11:04 am
He must have slipped on all the fat jealous loser drool.
Get well soon, Dror!
August 30, 2011 at 2:28 pm
I know nothing of this Dror of whom you speak. And I certainly had nothing to do with his current situation by requesting dances to the lyrics for American Pie–$5 at a time one hot Tuesday evening when the cable went out. (Get well soon, Mr. Dror. Be well and keep on dancing.)
August 30, 2011 at 7:42 pm
Not shufflin? Awww…
Get Well Soon Dror!
August 30, 2011 at 10:56 am
I have already purchased the very thing I was coveting! And my submission sold too!
I am an all round happy fat jealous loser today!
August 30, 2011 at 10:59 am
“I was too busy being bored and stoned and hating my parents because they wouldn’t turn on the air conditioning.”
Pretty much.
August 30, 2011 at 12:30 pm
Same, only replace “stoned” with “playing Morrowind”.
August 30, 2011 at 10:59 am
Jesus, I’m 20 and I don’t have the motivation of her. I can tell she’ll go far because she has the motivation and initiative.
This has nothing to do with AA being awesome as fuck but does anyone else hate how Etsy now lists items? Instead of being in neat rows of four everything is now in a long list.
August 30, 2011 at 11:42 am
You can change the way you view items. There are two squares in the upper corner above the items. Click one of them to change the view.
August 30, 2011 at 11:57 am
Wow, I feel exceptionally moronic right now.
August 30, 2011 at 12:39 pm
This is why we love you though.
August 30, 2011 at 1:22 pm
You mean exceptionally cuntlapperic! #cf4l
August 30, 2011 at 2:54 pm
Don’t feel so bad. I spent twenty minutes trying to figure out how to change it to explain it to you and still hadn’t done so by the time all this was posted. You’re doing better than I am!
August 30, 2011 at 10:59 am
Sweet, holy fuck, I love Dror.
I wish him a speedy recovery so that his fuzzy awesomeness can reach new, untold, unwashed masses.
August 30, 2011 at 11:02 am
Oh hell yes. Carli is from my great home town of Carson City, NV. What more of a reason do I need to buy lots of whimsicle fuckery?
August 30, 2011 at 11:12 am
OH! I missed that she’s from these parts. I’m in Reno. So thank you, ellipser, you just gave me an excuse to raid my piggy bank!
…By raid my piggy bank, I mean look under the couch cushions to see if I have enough to at least buy some >$10 piece of whimsicle fuckery.
August 30, 2011 at 1:33 pm
I’m determined now to buy something to help her get the hell out of Nevada
I love it here in the southern part of the state but I’d hate to be a young person starting out. Shit, did I really just say “young person”? I feel old.
August 30, 2011 at 11:02 am
*swoon*
http://www.etsy.com/listing/80776586/cupcake-pin-up-dress-with-flounce-size
If paying my tuition this semester left me with any expendable income, I would buy this cupcake dress right now.
August 30, 2011 at 12:44 pm
Hell that dress is in my size!
Can someone loan me some money?
August 30, 2011 at 12:44 pm
And ah ha! My picture has been changed! Take that fuckers!
August 30, 2011 at 12:54 pm
Are you the slipper/butt girl?
August 30, 2011 at 1:00 pm
Yes that would be me. I like the slippers, but my feet were offended and threatened to go on strike. I told them I’d give them a break for a while. Besides, my fridge looks great with its new magnet.
August 30, 2011 at 2:18 pm
I thought the correct response would’ve been to put up an actual pic of your butt
August 30, 2011 at 4:12 pm
bottle rocket, is that you? -grace
August 30, 2011 at 11:02 am
I wish more than ever that out paypal account hadn;t been hacked, and that someone didn’t steal £1300 from us. The fallout from the whole thing means I can’t afford to buy fuckery
August 30, 2011 at 11:09 am
One tiny thing won’t put us back into the red, right?
August 30, 2011 at 12:52 pm
Damnations! I try to keep no more than a couple hunnert in there but…someone stole from you? I hate that
Are we not safe anywheres?
August 30, 2011 at 12:56 pm
Oh, geeze, that bites. My sympathies. Any way you can get your funds back?
August 30, 2011 at 1:26 pm
We got our money back, but not till after all our bills went out. We’re still paying catchup. That was all our money for the month.
Jos had his paypal acct linked to his main bank account, but he’s moving it after this, only leaving £50-100 in there at any time.
August 30, 2011 at 11:03 am
Once again, I bought something with a bird on it for my April’s Army wall at home. I WILL PUT A BIRD ON IT. I hope to have my entire 14 ft. wall adorned with birds within a couple years.
Yes, I live in Portland, but I don’t see why that’s relevant…
August 30, 2011 at 12:05 pm
It is relevant because we need as many locals with a sense of humor as possible. Damn nice to know you and your bird wall are here.
August 30, 2011 at 12:41 pm
remember to cry for it. even if it isn’t dead.
August 30, 2011 at 12:52 pm
Because one day, everything will be dead.
August 30, 2011 at 1:19 pm
It’s name was Colin. COLIN!
August 30, 2011 at 11:04 am
Dear God, I may have been the only dumbass to sit through that woman’s attempt to be both funny and informative (while failing miserably), before realizing I could skip to the Dancing Dror snippet.
August 30, 2011 at 12:46 pm
I watched it all… but I also knew how to skip ahead. I was curious? Bored? Wanted to be informed? Pick one.
August 30, 2011 at 5:16 pm
I watched in all because I think I want Molly Wood to have my children.
August 30, 2011 at 1:00 pm
No, not the only dumbass. Wish I’d read your comment before listening to that whole pathetic…whateveritwas.
August 30, 2011 at 2:05 pm
I suspect she’s trying to be helpful by going through all those facial contortions. Her wide-eyed gurning declares: “HERE COMES THE PUNCHLINE–” Because…otherwise…you’d never know.
August 30, 2011 at 5:51 pm
Your addition makes this fucking amazing.
August 30, 2011 at 11:04 am
oh yes, paypal here I come….
August 30, 2011 at 11:04 am
I love that pincushion, but I can’t find it! Did it sell already? Ah well, I bought a sweet rainbow chainmaille necklace to wear to Pride next summer.
August 30, 2011 at 12:22 pm
I made that! Sweet! I made it after NY passed the gay marriage bill. SO GLAD someone will wear it to Pride!!
August 30, 2011 at 1:14 pm
I wanted the pincushion too…so bummed.
August 30, 2011 at 1:32 pm
I was amazed to see that they sold so fast, but I’m glad to hear that so many people love them! I’ll make sure to contribute more to the next sale.
August 30, 2011 at 11:05 am
I contributed a pez dispenser of April with the sandal on her head to shop this month. you can see it in action here. IT TASTES WHIMSICLE!
August 30, 2011 at 11:05 am
I want the dead bird shadowbox. I’m hoping it’ll still be up when I get paid tomorrow.
August 30, 2011 at 11:29 am
I just realized that it’s made by Ant B. So awesome!
August 30, 2011 at 11:36 am
It truly is!!! I was so tempted, but after the hike in my rent and doubling of my electric bill (thank you, SO much, Mother Nature for that fucking 104-degree weekend), I can’t afford such fine fuckery.
August 30, 2011 at 12:44 pm
No, not by AntB. Sorries. It was I. But I’m her great grandmother. Or something. Does that help? I am gonna do more shadow boxes too, they are so great!
August 30, 2011 at 12:55 pm
It was beautiful! I loved the print all by itself. The dead bird and little hobo pack were just the frosting and sprinkles on the cupcake. I really wish I could afford it, but perhaps another time in another place with another bird.
August 30, 2011 at 1:25 pm
Whoops! Well, at least I got the B right. XD
August 30, 2011 at 1:33 pm
People do that all the time – I love being mistaken for AntB – it makes me try to act funnier and more gracious, and to throw clay.
Where IS she anyways?
August 30, 2011 at 11:05 am
OH I wish the store opened anytime but the last week of the month….I get paid on the first of every month, so at the end of the month, there’s never anything but flies and cobwebs in the checking account. Not that there’s ever much more than that in there anyway….
So help me, I’m going to have to start a Fuckery Fund!!
August 30, 2011 at 11:07 am
Actually, there’s an idea. Pottery folks – that’d make a great seller…a piggy bank for grownups with “Fuckery Fund” on the side. Perhaps shaped like an upside-down (dead) bird? Or an octopus? I bet it’d sell.
(If it’s a good idea, you’re welcome. If not, I’m sorry!!)
August 30, 2011 at 11:21 am
if it was an octopus id buy it myself
August 30, 2011 at 11:52 am
BRB I need to go buy more plastic piggy banks at the dollar store to decoupage.
August 30, 2011 at 11:56 am
well, hell, if its that easy I’ll do it myself
August 30, 2011 at 12:23 pm
I’d prefer it as a cylinder with a large cork (like the one my mother had labeled “Brilliant Ideas”)
August 30, 2011 at 12:45 pm
What a fanfuckingfabulous idea! They had best make several or there will be shopping cart wars!
August 30, 2011 at 1:36 pm
That’s a great idea!
August 30, 2011 at 7:47 pm
I’d only buy it if it had a smattering of white glaze dripping down it’s side.
August 31, 2011 at 5:09 pm
You had better all enjoy this link because I just sat up to find it, and I was planning on spending the rest of the week in a prone position (oh, moving-out day. Why must you suck so?) But given your comment, I was suddenly reminded of this awesome thing, which clearly would cause fist fights in the halls of Regretsy.
http://www.flickr.com/photos/tanaise/271963233/
Dead bird Lamp. At a snooty little artsy store on Charles Street in Beacon Hill. I adored it so much. The eyes! They were little glossy Xs in the frosted rest of the bird. (I thought I had a picture of it not turned on as well, but apparently not.)
August 30, 2011 at 11:08 am
If only I wasn’t so skint.
August 30, 2011 at 11:09 am
When you are skint
You can not by skants
They’ll cost you a mint
And you’ll fall when you dance
Burma Shave
August 30, 2011 at 12:08 pm
Oh, thank you, Rev! Reading that, I was a kid again in the 1960s in the back of my father’s ’58 blue and white Chevy driving as all five of us drove upstate for vacation. I was a tiny tyke (and am not much taller now) and it was so much fun. My mom would point out that the Burma Shave signs were not there, thanks to that evil Lady Bird Johnson, who took them all away. I was young, what did I care? I got extra candy bars when we were on car trips.
August 30, 2011 at 12:10 pm
It was an honor to have taken you on a joyride through time, via skants.
August 30, 2011 at 12:19 pm
damn, that was brilliant!
August 30, 2011 at 11:09 am
Get better soon, Dror!
The April’s Army Shop has so much awesomeness in it, it’s hard to decide what to buy!
August 30, 2011 at 11:11 am
I really want that imp doll! I went to checkout, and got denied. No shipping to Great Britain. And I was like, that’s okay, I’m not in Great Britain and I don’t know why Etsy thinks I am. Then… shipping option US only. ;_;
August 30, 2011 at 11:16 am
Well, I think HK has been hitting the bottle already since she can’t decide if the girl’s name is Carli or Katey, but I’m off to shop!
August 30, 2011 at 11:34 am
This is what happens when Bronc is not there.
August 30, 2011 at 1:11 pm
Exactly. He’s truly the brains of the outfit. Whenever I finish a post I call out to him, “Can you please check it?” And after a few seconds he shouts, “Typo!”
August 30, 2011 at 11:19 am
one octopus with ironic mustache is mine woo hoo! its so goddamn cute.
August 30, 2011 at 11:21 am
AMAZING pick of items this month, and I actually got there before the shop was sold out! Hooray!
August 30, 2011 at 11:22 am
Got some dishcloths for the MIL at Christmas, got a whimsicle tree painting(?)(I didn’t pay too much attention to the medium used, just scooped it up and ran, before someone else did) and the Beardneck Mc Fuckface to go in our camper with our “YOU SUCK” crossstitch. I realized after I bought it, that I should be decorating the whole camper in Regretsy. The Day of the Dead plushie I got last month will go nicely in there too. One day I’ll get around to figuring out the whole upload thing and show you the awesomeness that is “Campy” (long story there)
August 30, 2011 at 11:26 am
While I have Dror’s hair, I don’t have his groove, rhythm, or style, so I sadly can’t be his Dance Double.
August 30, 2011 at 11:35 am
Every dirty hippy on Etsy has his body hair. It takes a very special kind of person to have his groove.
August 30, 2011 at 11:26 am
I do love the internet, but I do not love that woman. Yay, Dror!
August 30, 2011 at 11:33 am
So many cool items to choose from and (sob) I missed out on the helliphant ornament, but (squee!) I bought a lovely pair of earrings–”lock” and “key”–and can’t wait to wear them!
August 30, 2011 at 12:12 pm
I have more ornaments.
August 30, 2011 at 1:23 pm
I went…I saw… I drooled: Helliphant with his missing ear—brilliant!
August 30, 2011 at 2:36 pm
I keep thinking someone should make an elephant ears with powdered sugar and give the little guy his balance back.
August 30, 2011 at 12:51 pm
I didn’t see these earrings! Damnit! So jealous.
August 30, 2011 at 12:57 pm
I have no clue how to make a photo show up here (I’m lucky I can read the monitor, what with all the Wite-Out smudges!), but here’s the link: http://www.etsy.com/transaction/57059286
August 30, 2011 at 1:21 pm
Those are awesome! If only I’d seen them first. You are one lucky Mugsy today.
August 30, 2011 at 3:55 pm
I’m glad I’m not the only one crying over missing the missing ear.
August 30, 2011 at 11:35 am
Spidercamp is one of us??? She’s go GD awesome, I can’t even tell you. She taught me through her $5 PDF how to make the most fabulous cheesecake ever.
August 30, 2011 at 11:38 am
I just bought a print of the penguin art. I want that hanging on my wall now, the blues are so pretty!
August 30, 2011 at 11:38 am
I bought a fantastically fugly/funky fascinator! Some day when Carly is the most sought-after hair designer in Disney, I’ll wear it into her shop and get her to design an equally funky/fugly hairstyle around it.
August 30, 2011 at 11:41 am
I’m tempted by that lady bits pornament. I celebrate the season in Florida so if anyone comment on it I could just say, in outraged tones “it’s a surfboard – what did YOU think it was?” and watch the person cringe.
August 30, 2011 at 11:49 am
Please do it! I blush so easily that I’d never get away with something like that. Let me live vicariously through you, Aliceblue.
August 30, 2011 at 11:42 am
GO AA!
i just about peed my pants when i saw all 4 of my elephant ornaments sell in 15 minutes. and again, when i saw it in this post.
there is SO much amazing stuff this month that i curse being so broke this month, because i want it all so badly. :/
seriously, these are some talented fuckers. i have no idea what we’ll do next month to top this months selections. im almost afraid to ask…
August 30, 2011 at 11:46 am
Oh cool! I see some sellers donated their towel mike entries; maybe I should throw mine in next time, too..
August 30, 2011 at 11:46 am
I’ve looked for the submission info to April’s Army and either I can’t find it or the Percocet is kicking in. Help?
August 30, 2011 at 11:56 am
Do you mean to join April’s Army? If so, here’s the link. http://www.etsy.com/teams/8522/aprils-army
August 30, 2011 at 11:48 pm
No, actually, I’m a member there. I mean I don’t know how to contribute to the monthly sale.
August 30, 2011 at 11:47 am
I love that jellyfish so much that I had to buy it. Mwahaha! Come to me, my sweet!
Probably the only jellyfish I’ll ever get to see/study/have. Alas, my dreams of being a marine biologist *sniffle*
August 30, 2011 at 5:20 pm
Once I get the address it will be on it’s way!
August 30, 2011 at 8:17 pm
By my count, that was April’s Army’s 1000th sale.
August 30, 2011 at 11:48 am
I love the fact that there are PDFs for sale this month.
August 30, 2011 at 11:48 am
Where are my donations? Waaahh lah?
REALLY want that polymer featured regretsy necklace.
August 30, 2011 at 11:51 am
Damn, I’m an idiot. Still, buy my stuff for a good cause?
http://www.etsy.com/listing/80380986/alligator-clip-for-pacifier-or-teething
August 30, 2011 at 12:55 pm
I think perhaps they are still adding stuff. Either that or Etsy is selecting random shop items for my viewing pleasure.
August 30, 2011 at 1:58 pm
Apparently, my baby goods don’t qualify for the baby section. Should have tagged it as a nipple clamp.
August 30, 2011 at 10:07 pm
I want this thing so fucking bad for my soon-to-be-born offspring. I am just trying to convince the husband that it’s worth it.
>.> I may just buy it anyway. Screw husbands! lol
August 31, 2011 at 5:12 pm
Push present!
August 30, 2011 at 11:53 am
So I was excited to buy my first piece from AA, because this girl’s story echoes mine when I was her age (except that I never went to beauty school because of the money). Added the terrarium, went to pay, and was told that it was sold out. :’(
August 30, 2011 at 11:59 am
My magnets sold right away! Yay! I was afraid I was going to be left in the shop unloved and unwanted. That is just in real life.
August 30, 2011 at 12:09 pm
MellyMo, I love your magnetic paper dolls! Husband wouldn’t be happy with a fridge covered in Towel Mike, so I may have to find something less likely to be thrown away while my back is turned.
August 30, 2011 at 12:11 pm
Crap. That wasn’t supposed to go here. Sorry Chicalookate, I liked yours, too.
August 30, 2011 at 12:15 pm
That is quite alright.
August 30, 2011 at 12:01 pm
Can I be a douche canoe (one word or two?) and point out you mixed up Carli’s name in your points 1. and 2. and switched to Katey? It is noon here so you probably have your drink on already and I’ll forgive it.
August 30, 2011 at 1:12 pm
No, it’s just that Bronc isn’t here to check my work. I’m not drinking today, I’m voicing a Wii game this afternoon.
Thanks for telling me, I appreciate it.
August 30, 2011 at 12:02 pm
We broke Dror!
Get better soon and take care of yourself, you hear??
Awesome stuff in the shop, best of luck to Carli!
August 30, 2011 at 12:05 pm
I got the awesome “Whimsicle” Morse code bracelet!
For once I got to the shop right when it opened, and had loads of choices, took me a while just to decide..
August 30, 2011 at 12:20 pm
Yay! That’s one of mine. I hope you love it!!
August 30, 2011 at 1:34 pm
Lucky you! I had my eye on its “Fuckery” companion but missed my chance. But I got a lovely bird brooch as my consolation prize. Less fuckery, more hipsterity.
August 30, 2011 at 12:10 pm
Something is either very wrong, or very right, with the metrics that determine the ads on the sidebar of Regretsy.
I just got married a week and a half ago, and am looking at an ad for a “Divorce Wksht and Cklist.”
August 30, 2011 at 12:16 pm
Doh! I didn’t see my donated item!
but lovely stuff from everyone!!!
August 30, 2011 at 12:19 pm
Nevermind. It sold. Awesomesauce!
August 30, 2011 at 12:20 pm
I *thought* I got to the store early, but most of the wonderful fuckery at the top of this page was already gone. At least I scored some rubber chicken earrings!
I will post photos when I get them and wear them.
August 30, 2011 at 1:00 pm
I had a few items in my cart and kept waffling over the chicken earrings, but let ‘em go. I envy you, PBCGE!
August 30, 2011 at 2:38 pm
YOU GOT THE RUBBER CHICKENS??/
GRAWRRRRRRR!!!!
[pouts]
August 30, 2011 at 12:22 pm
I can’t wait to stich my own “NO REALLY IT’S OKRA” and will be able to add another hellephant item to my room. Happiness all around.
August 30, 2011 at 1:01 pm
Dammit, YOU got the helliphant ornament?!? OK, it’s for a good cause and all and it went to a loving home, but I wanted it to go to MY loving home!
August 30, 2011 at 8:19 pm
There were several. I got one too.
August 31, 2011 at 8:17 am
If you can’t live without one the creator has them for sell in her store. I’m addicted to that hellephant. I’ve bought something hellephant related each time the store opens.
August 30, 2011 at 12:34 pm
killed myself (almost) laughing when I saw this.
They’re called what now?
August 30, 2011 at 12:49 pm
August 30, 2011 at 12:50 pm
LOL, I just finished a big bowl of ramen
August 30, 2011 at 1:05 pm
Ever try it with a big spoonful (or two) of sour cream mixed with the flavor packet? Drain almost all of the water, leaving the noodles in the pot, and, on a low flame, stir in the sour cream and sprinkle in the flavor packet and keep stirring until it’s all blended. I discovered that by
desperationaccident one night, feeling in an adventurous mood. Quite yummy. (Assuming that you buy the stuff with the flavor packet.)August 30, 2011 at 1:33 pm
Add a few drops of sesame oil to that for an even better treat.
August 30, 2011 at 2:14 pm
Drop in an egg (pref. room temp) while the water is boiling if you need protein. Stir unless you like poached egg yolk.

Never tried the sour cream approach, I might give that a shot, though I do often drop an egg in and then hit the whole thing with some Vietnamese chili sauce (that one with the rooster logo).
I’ll also use ramen as a way to finish up leftover meats that aren’t enough for another meal. Slice them up and drop them in!
August 31, 2011 at 5:15 pm
I use a similar method with my Mac and Cheese (Annies, as I am sadly intolerant of low fat milk and thus no moar blue box for me), but the sour cream in mac and cheese is amazeballs. It’s like a good rug–just ties everything together.
August 31, 2011 at 8:43 pm
Annies is the best. You know their back story?
I have an autographed photo of Bernie and a “push tail to open” t-shirt

* so much grammatical error thur….
August 30, 2011 at 12:51 pm
No, this is “Misspelling Tues”, you still have 1 more day before “Grammatical Error Thur”
August 30, 2011 at 12:58 pm
Don’t forget about Can’t Count Wednesday!
August 30, 2011 at 1:12 pm
And we can’t forget Fuck It, Where’s the Vodka? Friday
August 30, 2011 at 1:22 pm
Friday is suddenly my new favorite day of the week!
August 31, 2011 at 7:04 am
Fuck It, Where’s the Vodka? is only on Friday??
Damn, I’ve been doing it wrong
August 30, 2011 at 12:57 pm
….Molly Wood?
As a Holly, I suddenly have a “there but for the grace of god” feeling.
August 30, 2011 at 12:57 pm
We should channel all our energy into a healing cloak and soak it in the BO of a hundred stoned hippies and then send it, via the *psychic tubes, to Dror. Because the world is a little less shiny without DancingDror in it.
*you didn’t know those were real, did you?
August 30, 2011 at 1:07 pm
And Fuck It, Where’s the Vodka Friday!
August 30, 2011 at 1:09 pm
OK, so that was supposed to be in response to @Rawf. I think I’ll go and post it up there as well. It’ not a rhetorical question, despite it being Tuesday.
Anywho, what I was going to say to YOU, Patty, was I think that, since we obviously broke Dror, that we should use all means possible to fix him. Not “fix him,” fix him, just fix him.
August 30, 2011 at 1:30 pm
I forgive you, Mugsy Doodle, and not just because I spent a huge portion of my weekend getting hugged by hot guys in various forms of armor.
I got my DancingDror video, but I can’t share it till Friday evening (which is the start of my friend’s birthday in Australia… because that’s where he is, in Australia).
August 30, 2011 at 1:49 pm
Patty–you had a Renn Faire weekend? I hope you post photos. I’m in NYC. I had a hunker-down-’cause-the-hurricane-might-hit-so-fill-your-bathtub-with-water-and-eat-ice-cream-and-drink-vodka weekend. OK, so that last part about food and drink was not exactly on the official preparation statement, but why take a chance?
Really–photos would be much appreciated!
August 30, 2011 at 2:05 pm
Most of my photos are here on Flickr. I mean, those aren’t ALL of them, but a whole lot of them. For every one I’ve uploaded, I have probably five I don’t. There are a bunch on my Facebook page and on each of the knights’ FB pages.
August 30, 2011 at 1:02 pm
Yay! I just bought this awesome print and discovered a new favorite artist: http://www.etsy.com/listing/80684964/swimming-penguin-fine-art-print
I like looking at the fuckery, but unlike April, when it comes to ownership I prefer unfucked – so thanks to the artist for bravely going where few unfuckered go and donating this.
August 30, 2011 at 5:24 pm
I have the leafy sea dragon print. It’s magical!
August 30, 2011 at 8:57 pm
I love that print. When I first opened the shop my thought was, “These are amazing. I hope there’s a sea dragon,” and there was. Now I need to put in some overtime to have extra money next month
August 30, 2011 at 1:02 pm
I’m very excited because my Towel Mike finger puppet sold – he has no face but he has a penis!!!!
In this context, now finger puppet sounds obscene.
August 30, 2011 at 1:28 pm
Who looks at the face, amirite?
August 30, 2011 at 1:06 pm
Get well soon Dror, and Carli is correct that the Paul Mitchell school will open more doors for her than the other schools. Good Luck to her!
August 30, 2011 at 1:23 pm
I just keep thinking what great hair she’ll have. Go Carli!
August 30, 2011 at 1:25 pm
xD All these beautiful things makes me realise how shit my Throw of Fuckery is. I’ll still try and finish it, though..
August 30, 2011 at 1:26 pm
*make.
Grammar fail :/
August 30, 2011 at 1:50 pm
I wish to thank everybody for their support, whether they bought something or not. My stomach has been in knots all morning from both being nervous and excited for this day to come, and now you’re all making a dream come true. <3
Also, I have to say I am jealous of the person who bought the Whimsicle Tree Painting. I really wanted that. I'm a fat, jealous loser now.
August 30, 2011 at 4:49 pm
You know the Reno/Sparks/Carson folks are going to stalk the Paul Mitchell School, right? We’re creepy that way. Maybe I’ll come in for a deep conditioning; the girls at the fairs (wo)manning the booths always give me that “your poor woman with bad hair” look…
August 31, 2011 at 1:48 am
I have to say, I’m super surprised there’s several other people in this tiny area that read Regretsy!
Also, make the appointment after November. I missed the September enrollment date.
August 31, 2011 at 9:29 am
*you
damn my fat fingers…
August 30, 2011 at 2:14 pm
Everything is so cool.. But the April head on the motorcross bike was hysterical.. I love that shop esp love the dog head on superwoman body.. lol.. I know so much stuff was awesome and it is a good cause.. Ashley from RHONJ should take a lesson.. but really these are too funny.. http://www.etsy.com/shop/customheroheads
August 30, 2011 at 2:20 pm
Sorry this is the correct link for the April’s Army.. http://www.etsy.com/listing/80513653/action-figure-of-april-winchell-as-a and again .. it’s Wonderwoman with dog head.. Guess all the flooding around here is affecting my brain.. Irene can flood my house and take away my power, but don’t screw with my Regretsy.. lol
August 30, 2011 at 2:35 pm
The reporters voice, mannerisms and general way of reporting irritated the hell out of me. I watched from 5:19 to the end and I wanted to neck myself at the 6:00 mark
August 30, 2011 at 3:42 pm
I usually donate a little something every month through my Paypal account because my life is full of enough fuckery as it is.
April, you usually put a link up so we can donate, but I can’t find it or I am missing it!!
Also, remember, if everyone of us 100,000+ fat, jealous, losers just donated $1.00 each, Carli would be able to have her own salon in the end!!
August 31, 2011 at 1:45 am
My blog’s here. http://fairycollege.blogspot.com/
I emailed April about it.
August 30, 2011 at 4:07 pm
Dammit! I really wanted to butthurt cross stitch for my new apartment, but it all appears to be gone
August 30, 2011 at 5:38 pm
How much do I love the HK Christmas postcards in Cayli’s own shop? They are fat, jealous, and brilliant!
August 30, 2011 at 5:51 pm
Yay for April’s Army, I got to buy a PDF of a murder mystery. I’m thinking of throwing a party soon! I get to help someone and have some fun!
August 30, 2011 at 6:03 pm
To keep it in the Regretsy mood, make sure you serve coleslaw and play zydeco music!
August 30, 2011 at 8:24 pm
Well of course I’m going to make the murder mystery a hobo style party!
August 30, 2011 at 6:18 pm
Yay! Someone bought my “Everyday I’m Shufflin’” cross-stitch!
http://www.etsy.com/transaction/57054447
August 30, 2011 at 7:43 pm
Yay! someone bought my alligator nipple clamp-I mean, baby pacifier thingy! I’ve got 2 more up for grabs! And, I’ll swap out for any other critter in my shop. http://www.etsy.com/listing/80380986/alligator-clip-for-pacifier-or-teething
Plus-my baby, is he not adorbz? He’s shufflin’ everynight.
August 30, 2011 at 7:49 pm
Man… who got the David Caruso coozie? My throwback mountain dew is SO JEALOUS that Tegan and Sara both just looked up across the universe from me.
August 30, 2011 at 8:11 pm
The April Pez is mine!
August 31, 2011 at 7:05 am
DAMMIT!
August 30, 2011 at 8:22 pm
You’re awesome, April. Keep up the good work.
August 30, 2011 at 8:37 pm
Regretsy always inspires amazing conversations in my apartment — last night, it was Koalaswim, and tonight it was the merits of buying a necklace named “Down the Goatse Hole.”
Thanks to my boyfriend’s persuasive arguments (“it’s cute, and your birthday’s coming up”) and having a little extra money this month, I bought it, too. I’m happy to have made my first AA charity-shop purchase, and I’m wishing Carli the best!
August 30, 2011 at 8:38 pm
I don’t know about anyone else, but I’m now stuck remembering my awful childhood when my mother would not turn on the air conditioning. Hell my mother wouldn’t even BUY airconditioning. Every summer we died in the humid, sweltering heat. My childhood sucked ass.
August 30, 2011 at 8:42 pm
My beaver earrings sold – yay imsoexcited!!
August 30, 2011 at 8:44 pm
I trust Proofreading is a Drinking Game, where you have to take a drink every time Bronc yells “Typo!”. And if you both take a drink, it makes the game even MORE interesting!
August 30, 2011 at 9:21 pm
Get well soon, Dror! I’ve been having some health problems of my own this week, but just seeing him dancing again makes me feel better.
And yeah, I couldn’t sit through Molly’s blathering either. I fast forwarded to Dror.
August 30, 2011 at 9:33 pm
Dror said I was beautiful. Made my year.
August 31, 2011 at 11:19 am
What happened to Dror? I hope he feels better soon!
August 31, 2011 at 11:22 am
I watch Dror and cannot understand how something can be so sexually stimulating and so totally nauseating at the same time. And vice versa.
August 31, 2011 at 4:20 pm
No Caruso cozy… Gutted.
August 31, 2011 at 5:21 pm
I would like to propose a new rule (‘rule’) that if you buy something (or sell something) and brag about it on here, you have to include the link to the item so we can all go and look enviously. I am not nearly jealous enough of everyone else’s artistic talent with just these words. I demand links!
September 1, 2011 at 12:07 pm
I can get on board with this rule, tanaise.
http://www.etsy.com/transaction/57231987
I purchased some cute earrings to help the cause! I really wanted that whimsical fuckery necklace but its car payment week =(
September 1, 2011 at 7:43 pm
yay, PantlessPanda! And boo, responsible adulthood. (this is my first month of condo ownership. My responsible adultness is walking around like this: O.O, after the size of the checks I’ve written in the past few months.)
