This made me do this thing where my mouth opened and my bobbed around like a muppet but no sound came out, except this funny goose honk right when I ran out of air.
That is the sexiest emo fairy fey steampunk gypsy pirate I have ever seen. Of course, being the ONLY emo fairy fey steampunk gypsy pirate that I have seen, it also happens to be the least sexy emo fairy fey steampunk gypsy pirate I have ever seen.
I am crushing on you. And in a Good way.BUt why does my past girl scout want this badge? I need help. Or SoCo. Or both. I am seriously disturbed with myself
@jaiejohnson “My son is a Pedo Bear fan” is a very disturbing sentence. I suppose, if one were to look on the bright side, I guess you can say that the feelings are mutual??
I’ve never even seen that show and it still terrifies the crap out of me. There is something seriously wrong with those people. They make me pray to a non-specific deity for a zombie invasion to come and wipe them out.
fey \FAY\ , adjective;
1. Possessing or displaying a strange and otherworldly aspect or quality; magical or fairylike; elfin.
2. Having power to see into the future; visionary; clairvoyant.
3. Appearing slightly crazy, as if under a spell; touched.
4. (Scots.) Fated to die; doomed.
5. (Scots.) Marked by a sense of approaching death.
…and, having talked with some of my more fabulous friends, they insist that’s actually a Bowdlerization of “gay.” That is, if for some reason you can’t call someone “gay” (even if they are and it’s not being insulting), such as on network TV, you use “fey” instead.
Man, I hate that. Like when someone types “f***ing” to avoid being insulting on the internet. WE ALL KNOW WHAT THAT WORD IS. You’re not fooling anyone!
This is actually where the term “fey” (as in slang meaning “gay and/or effeminate”) comes from; feygele in Yiddish means “little bird,” and I’ve heard friends tell me that their Jewish relatives have used this term to refer to a gay boy or man. It’s less obvious than “gay” but less offensive than “fag” (or other unpleasant terms). I don’t speak Yiddish, though, so I could very easily be wrong.
“Fey” or “Fae” is used to describe the Fairy realms, if you believe in Fairy tradition wicca. I think someone was stoned or half asleep to have “sexy” as the first word with a toddler in the first picture spot…
It’s funny the way the first meaning of a word you learn colors how you always see it even when an alternate meaning is used. Fae I read as being fairy-like. Fey I read as being doomed and not a word I ever want to see applied to a small child.
@Mapleleaves, after so many years of seeing CNR on “Match Game,” when he showed up on “X-Files” as a paranormal investigator, I was waiting for a smart-ass comeback involving Dumb Dora and a set of Ping-Pong balls. I was disappointed to say the least. (And I watched him on “Ghost and Mrs. Muir” long before I knew what “gay” was.)
Annoyingly, my nieces (both in their early-to-mid twenties) use the word “sexy” like this.
They once agreed that one of their toddlers looked “tres sexy” in her Easter dress and I nearly lost it. According to them, I’m just “old and out of touch” ( I’m 3 and 5 years leery anthem respectively) because “sexy” doesn’t mean that you lust after what- or whoever you’re describing. It just means that it looks really good. In a fashion sense, usually.
Yeah, I’d rather be old before my time that to think that there is nothing wrong or disturbing at all about calling a toddler “sexy.”
Fey may be subject to debate, but “sexy” just flat-out means “like you’re desirable sexually.” It can be used ironically or sarcastically, but if used straight it means that one thing only.
Blarg, sometimes I don’t want to live on this planet.
oddly enought, my ex father in law’s 80 year old sister used to use sexy that way to describe tights on my then 2 year old… i found it very disturbing, but thought maybe i was to YOUNG to get it?
But calling the toddler sexy IS dark. Also, even though the baby is smiling, I think there’s something sick and cruel happening somewhere, and it has something to do with these wings and the devil horn tree branches coming out of its head. See? Totes dark.
Because sexy is totally the first thing I think of when I see a baby wearing white wings, and not “creepy” or “ugh, why do parents do that to their children?”.
Wait another seventeen or eighteen years, and then we’ll talk. Although from the expression on that kid’s face, I think even she knows that those wings can’t be saved in the “sexy” department anymore. That, or she’s just like “WTF, get me out of this crap before I destroy you all!”
Yes, because advertising your use of a serger in making these things durable for many nights of frolicking makes us forget the fact that your infant is modeling these “sexy” wings…
Luckily, Ada Lovelace (I almost wrote LINDA Lovelace there) discovered that well-pressed babies make for the perfect punch cards. The use of the wings remains lost, which is why we use these inferior electronic computers rather than proper difference engines.
That’s okay, colbosch. While you were thinking L. Lovelace, I was reading tracistewart’s comment as “contraception” instead of “contraption” and thinking ‘Well gee, if you have the baby already, the cat’s out of the bag.”
Every time the chicken selects the front page on Etsy, a steampunk emo Gypsy faerie fey pirate gets its’ Sexy Handmade ivory cream xs dress up pixie fairy wings
The baby is just for REFERENCE, people. You can put these on any creature that is size XS. The “sexy” descriptor is obviously for people looking for apparel for their dogs.
I think a lot of coked-out strippers are size xs, and I think that for them, durability and sexiness are relevant. I honestly think they are her demographic. Her choice of model IS bizarre. Couldn’t she have just stuck the wings on a chair, if she had no thin adult friends to model it?
I meant more like will probably end up murdering their parents and hitting the road, Natural Born Killers style, but yeah, your option is a whole lot better.
Happy endings can exist, must exist. Somebody needs to cry for the dead birds/parents.
We could still have it both ways. They could meet in a group therapy session, decide the therapy really isn’t helping, murder their parents and hit the road after….
You guys can poke fun if you want, but that is absolutely the sexiest steampunk emo gypsy faerie fey pirate baby I’ve seen in at least a week. And I’m the webmaster for a porn site that only features steampunk emo gypsy faerie fey pirate babies! So, you know… HAWT!
The first thing I noticed in this picture were the autumn trees in the background. I thought it was some sort of extreme Larry Fine (3 Stooges) hairstyle, then I thought the backdrop was of explosions and fire.
The “Damn, Baby” made me think of a favorite part of “Ghost” that my sisters and I quote a lot… “Damn baby, what’d you do to your hair?” “It’s Autumn Sunrise, do you like it?” I saw the autumn trees-or-hairstyle, and thought “NO WAY!”
wasnt her parents. wasnt her mother. for many years i was the webmistress for someone deeply involved w/ investigating the case. i think they knew &, mind you, they wouldnt tell me who it but it was clear that it was not the parents.
I think it’s great and all the seller will make them in adult sizes, but I’m a little too busy pretending I’m an adult, so I definetely don’t have time to pretend I’m a fairy.
Anytime someone uses the word sexy to describe young kids clothing I always feel unclean and the strong urge to use eye scrub. Like I am wrong for even reading it and the FBI just put my name on some list.
I’m trying to take the “sex” out of sexiness. I call anything exceedingly attractive “hot”. The husband has gotten used to me pointing out hot trees, hot cats, and the occasional piece of hot produce. If shoes or eyeshadow can be hot, why the hell shouldn’t a graceful, symmetrical, blissfully healthy elm be hot too?! I haven’t got a political reason for doing this. Just whimsicle, I guess.
I assume that’s because the Queen faery flies out of the nest, finds some male faeries crawling around, mates with a bunch of them (after which they die, hence they don’t need wings), then creates her own nest where she stores their sperm for years, using it to create an army of daughters. These daughters have wings so they can fly around and collect resources.
Holy cats! They say everyone has a double, but this is wild! She looks just like me in my early twenties, if I had been into the whole fairy/renfair/pirate nymph thing. Bless her little heart.
The awful part is that if you ignore the insanely inappropriate description, it’s a really cute photo of a happy baby playing dress-up in fairy wings. Why do sellers insist on destroying their own listings when they start off with such good base material???

I have noticed that when I search for something on Etsy, and they can’t find it, they suggest I try a more popular search, and list some. “Feather hair extensions” is always one of them.
Okay, deep breath before I get ready to dodge some red thumbs . . .
If you look at the listing itself, it makes a little more sense. The seller’s trying to do one listing for all different sizes and colors of these wings from baby to adult. “Sexy” is clearly supposed to refer to the adult version – in fact the listing says “Sexy Adult Handmade yada, yada, yada (although in all fairness, the seller may have corrected this since it was posted here).
The problem I see here is that the seller selected the baby photo as the first one, a spectacularly unfortunate error. If it had been this one, we wouldn’t be discussing it here:
Even so, the seller would have been much better off doing a separate listing for the child’s version. However, it’s not quite as disturbing to me as it appeared at first glance based on the copy above.
True, because creepy, “sexy baby” aside, & the little I know abut emo, goth, pirates, & gypsies NONE of them have wings! And if there are winged emos or goths, I am positive that the wings would NOT be white.
Check the listing – they DO come in other colors. Another pic from the same listing:
I’m only maybe half defending the seller here, who is pushing it with some of the keywords. They’re off-base, yes, but not QUITE as off-base as they’re being presented here. Except for steampunk – THAT one definitely needs to go. And change the first pic.
It would be steampunk if the baby had a curled mustache.
It would be sexy if the baby ditched the wings and the rest of the outfit and was really a 35-year-old guy with a hot body. Every so often I think I should start a gay steampunk porn website….
This has been an idea of mine for some time now. Even though I’m straight, I’ve been pondering producing steampunk porn, and don’t think anyone should feel left out.
Well, aside from those who use “sexy” in conjunction with babies.
I’m not trying to start something here, but doesn’t this baby look a little developmentally disabled to you all? I mean for Christ’s sake, it’s not enough to humiliate a baby, but a retarded baby? For all that is holy and sacred, my glitter tears stream from my flushed cheeks. I. Can. Take. No. More.

I have maintained for years that the design of childrens’ dance recital costumes has been secretly outsourced under exclusive contract to the pedophile union. I wonder if this seller is a card carrying member…
TROOF. The shit I used to wear for tap/jazz recitals… and my poor parents had to PAY for it. I dont know why they put up with that shit. They’re very smart people. I can only imagine that having kids makes you insane, so I hereby apologize to my unborn (and unconceived) children for the shit I’m going to subject them to.
Dear Yevgenny, Houshmanzada, Jesus and Abendigo. Mommy’s sorry for all the sequins and wedgies.
I know it’s late Miss Killer, but I was watching mad men and enjoying a cocktail when I started to Wikipedia different cocktails, I wondered how a high ball got it’s name,, and when I looked up long drink, the article explained how long drinks are the national specialty of Finland, specifically the factory canned gin drinks http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Long_drink
I think if you plain on making your Finland trip a lubricated one, you better get prepared for a lot of long drinks
Until they can find wing that flutter automatically and send out little big bursts of glitter and light up and sing ethereal songs of the forest, you probably won’t.

Sure is. He’s the cutie in the picture with me.

Y’all don’t watch Toddlers and Tiaras, do you? This wouldn’t even count as “Sexy for toddlers” according to that show.
September 26, 2011 at 9:00 pm
I’ve never even seen that show and it still terrifies the crap out of me. There is something seriously wrong with those people. They make me pray to a non-specific deity for a zombie invasion to come and wipe them out.
September 26, 2011 at 6:23 pm
…”Fey”?
Hmm, maybe that is an accurate description, as in, “It’s fey to call something a toddler would wear ‘sexy’”.
September 26, 2011 at 6:27 pm
‘Fey’ is actually a synonym for ‘faerie’ or ‘faerie-related,’ as in ‘the fey folk.’
September 26, 2011 at 6:28 pm
Ahh, learn something new everyday.
September 26, 2011 at 6:29 pm
See number 3.
fey \FAY\ , adjective;
1. Possessing or displaying a strange and otherworldly aspect or quality; magical or fairylike; elfin.
2. Having power to see into the future; visionary; clairvoyant.
3. Appearing slightly crazy, as if under a spell; touched.
4. (Scots.) Fated to die; doomed.
5. (Scots.) Marked by a sense of approaching death.
September 26, 2011 at 6:32 pm
So, it’s both fairylike AND crazy. Win-win. (And don’t forget doomed!)
September 26, 2011 at 6:43 pm
September 26, 2011 at 7:21 pm
God bless that Scots for turning something harmless and hippy-dippy into a Portent Of Death.
September 26, 2011 at 7:07 pm
Well, to be fair, “fey” has also come to mean homosexual (in the feminine sense), just like “fairy.” Annoying, yes, but still there.
September 27, 2011 at 1:00 am
…and, having talked with some of my more fabulous friends, they insist that’s actually a Bowdlerization of “gay.” That is, if for some reason you can’t call someone “gay” (even if they are and it’s not being insulting), such as on network TV, you use “fey” instead.

September 27, 2011 at 9:02 am
But at least it fools the f***ing censor software on other fucking websites.
Also, what? ‘Fey’ means lesbian?
… That’s actually kind of hot.

Don’t forget the famous exchange in Robin Hood: Men in Tights:
Robin Hood: You’ve just entered the territory of Robin Hood and his Merry Men.
Rabbi Tuckman: Feygeles?
Robin Hood: No, no, we’re straight, just merry.

This is actually where the term “fey” (as in slang meaning “gay and/or effeminate”) comes from; feygele in Yiddish means “little bird,” and I’ve heard friends tell me that their Jewish relatives have used this term to refer to a gay boy or man. It’s less obvious than “gay” but less offensive than “fag” (or other unpleasant terms). I don’t speak Yiddish, though, so I could very easily be wrong.

The only thing I think of when I hear or see “fey”:

See, in that case “Fey” and “Sexy” do go together.
September 27, 2011 at 2:11 pm
inoright?

Also, not dark.

Admittedly, my girls can no longer be called babies, buy from the time they could make their intentions clearly known they have loved fairy wings.
Not that we ever dressed them in white with white wings and took sexy pictures, but there it is.
September 27, 2011 at 11:50 am
Oh, don’t get me wrong. I have a pair of sexy wings… but they’re red and black and I wore them with a corset.
Wings are awesome. Sexy wings especially. Those wings? Those are not sexy wings. Not anymore, at least.

C’mon people! These are “hand-rolled hems, to stand up to many nights of frolicking”! That right there makes this worth the price!
September 26, 2011 at 6:40 pm
She’s rolling it wrong if it costs $35. Everyone knows you shouldn’t pay more than $10 a…hem.
September 27, 2011 at 1:15 pm
But the baby’s bedtime is seven-thirty.
September 26, 2011 at 6:25 pm
Yes, because advertising your use of a serger in making these things durable for many nights of frolicking makes us forget the fact that your infant is modeling these “sexy” wings…

I need to remember to pencil in a good frolic or two next week.
September 26, 2011 at 6:49 pm
The really good frolics are never scheduled. They just…happen.
September 26, 2011 at 7:16 pm
I need a vinyl decal of that on my wall.
September 26, 2011 at 7:37 pm
Sometimes you just get busy, ok? If you want to keep him interested, you *have* to schedule the frolic…
September 26, 2011 at 8:38 pm
There’s some set-up involved, of course. Closing the blinds, ironing the faerie wings, and putting on the kettle for the post-frolic tea.
September 26, 2011 at 9:14 pm
I dunno about caffeine post-frolic; you want non-caffeinated fluids and electrolytes. Frolics are dehydrating!
September 27, 2011 at 7:57 am
There are decaf teas. In fact, it’s a lot of fun to say “Rooibos” when you’ve frolicked into giddiness.
September 27, 2011 at 3:05 am
I can’t remember the last time I frolicked. =/
September 27, 2011 at 10:07 am
Neither can I…. :,(
September 26, 2011 at 6:26 pm
I bet if that baby knew that its image was being used to sell this shit, heads would ROLL.
September 26, 2011 at 7:09 pm
Yeah, watch out – she probably prefers to be called “Stormageddon” rather than Alfie.

Although, to be truly Emo, I would need the rings from the last post! And it needs more watch parts! Can I get it in a Men’s XL?

Not really. They often cost as much as 10,000.99

Every time the chicken selects the front page on Etsy, a steampunk emo Gypsy faerie fey pirate gets its’ Sexy Handmade ivory cream xs dress up pixie fairy wings
September 26, 2011 at 6:34 pm
So my mama always says.
September 26, 2011 at 11:04 pm
In the dark world of Etsy, I wouldn’t be surprised if Paedobear controls the chicken.
September 26, 2011 at 6:29 pm
I’d consider paying $35 dollars if they actually worked, but as so often happens with these Etsy listings, that important detail seems to be absent.
September 26, 2011 at 6:30 pm
The baby is just for REFERENCE, people. You can put these on any creature that is size XS. The “sexy” descriptor is obviously for people looking for apparel for their dogs.
September 26, 2011 at 7:24 pm
I thought you were going to go in a different direction involving Verne Troyer
September 26, 2011 at 9:32 pm
Verne Troyer was pretty sexy in Baby’s Day Out.
September 26, 2011 at 8:16 pm
I think a lot of coked-out strippers are size xs, and I think that for them, durability and sexiness are relevant. I honestly think they are her demographic. Her choice of model IS bizarre. Couldn’t she have just stuck the wings on a chair, if she had no thin adult friends to model it?
September 26, 2011 at 6:31 pm
This girl + the Hung like a Five Year old kid = True love, bitches.
September 26, 2011 at 7:13 pm
if by “true love” you mean, “will one day bond during a group therapy session”, then yes.
September 26, 2011 at 7:53 pm
I meant more like will probably end up murdering their parents and hitting the road, Natural Born Killers style, but yeah, your option is a whole lot better.
Happy endings can exist, must exist. Somebody needs to cry for the dead birds/parents.
September 26, 2011 at 10:14 pm
We could still have it both ways. They could meet in a group therapy session, decide the therapy really isn’t helping, murder their parents and hit the road after….
September 27, 2011 at 5:05 pm
I like this idea. Natural Born Killers is one of my favourite films.
I’m not sure a killing spree is ever really justified (unless you’re killing zombies) but I think those two have pretty strong grounds for it.

The expression on that kid is gold though, so cute.

You guys can poke fun if you want, but that is absolutely the sexiest steampunk emo gypsy faerie fey pirate baby I’ve seen in at least a week. And I’m the webmaster for a porn site that only features steampunk emo gypsy faerie fey pirate babies! So, you know… HAWT!

September 26, 2011 at 6:35 pm
The first thing I noticed in this picture were the autumn trees in the background. I thought it was some sort of extreme Larry Fine (3 Stooges) hairstyle, then I thought the backdrop was of explosions and fire.
September 26, 2011 at 7:49 pm
The “Damn, Baby” made me think of a favorite part of “Ghost” that my sisters and I quote a lot… “Damn baby, what’d you do to your hair?” “It’s Autumn Sunrise, do you like it?” I saw the autumn trees-or-hairstyle, and thought “NO WAY!”
September 26, 2011 at 7:57 pm
I thought I was the only one who heard that voice inside my head
September 26, 2011 at 8:06 pm
Bwa! I thought I was the only one who saw the Larry hairdo. Then I thought it was ears.
Pedobear has left the building…

meh, knew it was probably going to get red thumbed. oh wellSeptember 26, 2011 at 6:36 pm
Baba looks like she just made boom boom, or took a doody.
Either way. She’s rocking those wings… and I hope whomever buys them and supports “sexy” on a child, has the glorious odor of doody to go with it.

No, you’re good. Someone made a “Who” reference so “baba” is just fine.
Don’t cry,
Don’t close your eyes,
It’s only… faerie wasteland…
September 26, 2011 at 6:36 pm
I think it’s great and all the seller will make them in adult sizes, but I’m a little too busy pretending I’m an adult, so I definetely don’t have time to pretend I’m a fairy.
September 26, 2011 at 6:38 pm
why do people do this in their listings??
Anytime someone uses the word sexy to describe young kids clothing I always feel unclean and the strong urge to use eye scrub. Like I am wrong for even reading it and the FBI just put my name on some list.
September 26, 2011 at 8:24 pm
I’m trying to take the “sex” out of sexiness. I call anything exceedingly attractive “hot”. The husband has gotten used to me pointing out hot trees, hot cats, and the occasional piece of hot produce. If shoes or eyeshadow can be hot, why the hell shouldn’t a graceful, symmetrical, blissfully healthy elm be hot too?! I haven’t got a political reason for doing this. Just whimsicle, I guess.
September 27, 2011 at 6:16 am
I like it
September 26, 2011 at 6:39 pm
I thought those trees were supposed to be rabbit ears or something. But then, I suppose, the seller would have added “furry” into the title.
September 26, 2011 at 6:42 pm
I think the only accurate way to describe these would be “Dollar Store.”
September 26, 2011 at 6:46 pm
Looking at the other offerings in the store I guess male faeries are wingless. Or unsexy. Or both.
September 26, 2011 at 7:33 pm
I assume that’s because the Queen faery flies out of the nest, finds some male faeries crawling around, mates with a bunch of them (after which they die, hence they don’t need wings), then creates her own nest where she stores their sperm for years, using it to create an army of daughters. These daughters have wings so they can fly around and collect resources.
Oh, wait… I’m thinking of bees. Not faeries.
September 26, 2011 at 8:25 pm
I love you SO HARD for that comment!
September 26, 2011 at 9:19 pm
Well, at least a jar of dead fairies would come with glitter already included.
September 26, 2011 at 7:51 pm
There’s a response I want to make to that but my gay male friends would smack me for it.

She’s contorting to show off how delectable her rack & waist look in that blouse; who wouldn’t?!
September 27, 2011 at 2:54 pm
Holy cats! They say everyone has a double, but this is wild! She looks just like me in my early twenties, if I had been into the whole fairy/renfair/pirate nymph thing. Bless her little heart.
September 26, 2011 at 6:59 pm
If the seller thinks that picture is sexy, this is the her kid in 25 years.
September 26, 2011 at 7:32 pm
Hell, the crazy parents are advertising their “sexy” child. The guy probably showed up for a date.

Ron Swanson?
September 26, 2011 at 7:12 pm
The awful part is that if you ignore the insanely inappropriate description, it’s a really cute photo of a happy baby playing dress-up in fairy wings. Why do sellers insist on destroying their own listings when they start off with such good base material???
September 26, 2011 at 7:28 pm
Maybe those random keywords are the most popular for Etsy searches?
September 27, 2011 at 1:21 pm
I have noticed that when I search for something on Etsy, and they can’t find it, they suggest I try a more popular search, and list some. “Feather hair extensions” is always one of them.
September 26, 2011 at 7:29 pm
The wings need some glitter.
September 26, 2011 at 7:30 pm
Okay, deep breath before I get ready to dodge some red thumbs . . .
If you look at the listing itself, it makes a little more sense. The seller’s trying to do one listing for all different sizes and colors of these wings from baby to adult. “Sexy” is clearly supposed to refer to the adult version – in fact the listing says “Sexy Adult Handmade yada, yada, yada (although in all fairness, the seller may have corrected this since it was posted here).
The problem I see here is that the seller selected the baby photo as the first one, a spectacularly unfortunate error. If it had been this one, we wouldn’t be discussing it here:
Even so, the seller would have been much better off doing a separate listing for the child’s version. However, it’s not quite as disturbing to me as it appeared at first glance based on the copy above.
September 26, 2011 at 8:10 pm
Oh, we’d still be discussing it. But in a far less creepy way.
September 26, 2011 at 9:07 pm
True, because creepy, “sexy baby” aside, & the little I know abut emo, goth, pirates, & gypsies NONE of them have wings! And if there are winged emos or goths, I am positive that the wings would NOT be white.
September 27, 2011 at 1:10 am
You’re right on the second point: black wings used to be very popular among a certain type of goth about, oh, fifteen years ago.
…holy crap, have I been going to bars that long?
September 27, 2011 at 8:25 am
Check the listing – they DO come in other colors. Another pic from the same listing:
I’m only maybe half defending the seller here, who is pushing it with some of the keywords. They’re off-base, yes, but not QUITE as off-base as they’re being presented here. Except for steampunk – THAT one definitely needs to go. And change the first pic.
September 27, 2011 at 3:15 pm
After reading colbosch & rushgirl2112, I’ll conceded goth, but stand firm on no flying emos, pirates, or gypsies.
September 26, 2011 at 7:31 pm
Going to hell. BRB.
September 26, 2011 at 8:43 pm
Could you see if I left my purse there? It’s ok, the guy in charge will know who you’re talking about…
September 26, 2011 at 8:51 pm
September 26, 2011 at 8:54 pm
OK, not sure how I managed to make this a reply, but I hope you still like this sexy but tormented baby.
September 26, 2011 at 7:44 pm
It would be steampunk if the baby had a curled mustache.
It would be sexy if the baby ditched the wings and the rest of the outfit and was really a 35-year-old guy with a hot body. Every so often I think I should start a gay steampunk porn website….
September 26, 2011 at 8:51 pm
Do it! I loves me some Professor Montrosser and his apprentice, Julian porn!
September 27, 2011 at 1:17 am
This has been an idea of mine for some time now. Even though I’m straight, I’ve been pondering producing steampunk porn, and don’t think anyone should feel left out.
Well, aside from those who use “sexy” in conjunction with babies.
September 26, 2011 at 7:49 pm
“Sexy” and pictures of infants. THAT IS SO FUCKING WROOOOOONG!!!!
September 26, 2011 at 8:00 pm
I can handle flying Gypsies.
I can deal with flying Pirates.
But the damn winged Emos…well, I just can’t cope…
You know that baby reminds me a little of Eddie Izzard, perhaps what the seller intended was “Sexie”?
September 27, 2011 at 1:25 pm
I keep thinking that if Gypsies had wings, they would freak out their horses all the time.
Also, settled, wingless people would have one more reason to be nasty.
September 26, 2011 at 8:03 pm
I went to ebay, to try a little compare-and-save, since she’s reusing her copy, but instead I found silver mustache charms!

TROOF. The shit I used to wear for tap/jazz recitals… and my poor parents had to PAY for it. I dont know why they put up with that shit. They’re very smart people. I can only imagine that having kids makes you insane, so I hereby apologize to my unborn (and unconceived) children for the shit I’m going to subject them to.
Dear Yevgenny, Houshmanzada, Jesus and Abendigo. Mommy’s sorry for all the sequins and wedgies.

I know it’s late Miss Killer, but I was watching mad men and enjoying a cocktail when I started to Wikipedia different cocktails, I wondered how a high ball got it’s name,, and when I looked up long drink, the article explained how long drinks are the national specialty of Finland, specifically the factory canned gin drinks
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Long_drink
I think if you plain on making your Finland trip a lubricated one, you better get prepared for a lot of long drinks
