Nope, pasties, like the delicious meat pies made in the Upper Peninsula. Pronounced with a short “a” sound, as in “past.” Different from what you might see in burlesque shows. I learned that difference early on, thanks to a mother who grew up in Houghton.
My mom kept running around the UP telling people she loved pasties (long a) and that they were awesome and that they should get them for their kids. The other tourists were understandably disturbed until I explained what pasties (short a) were. I then told mom to stfu when we were alone. She was mortified because she hadn’t made the connection between pasties (short a) and pasties (long a). Gotta love Michigan.
Bow and arrow??? Wuss. Is Ted too afraid to kill the deer with his teeth like God intended. After all Jesus killed a bear when he was just three using only his left incisor.
A handtogod true story: When Teddy Roosevelt was doing one of his Whistle Stop train tours, just as his train was pulling away, an eight-year-old girl (!) tossed a badger (!!) into the car as a gift, being sure to shout that the badger’s name was ‘Josiah’. Teddy actually kept Josiah at the White House, where he (Josiah, usually) would attack various visiting members of Congress, which probably was a kinder greeting than they usually got from Teddy. Personally, I am surprised that ol’ Ted didn’t name both Josiah and the badass eight-year-old to important posts in his Cabinet.
The moral of the story: I’m pretty sure HK is directly descended from that little girl. Or possibly Josiah. It could go either way.
I just love the image of a little girl flinging a badger into a train car as the train is departing. I’m glad it was a friendly badger, because that could have gone horribly wrong.
Yeah…that really pisses me off. I don’t mean to sound like a crazy PETA person, but that just isn’t cool. If anything, she should make Nutria bras or something. Apparently those might be more helpful to the environment on a tit.
I followed the trail to find some kind of explanation to what happened to the rest of those poor creatures, and all I found was some pseudo-postmodern bullshit on her website, which included such gems as:
“…style is the ultimate core of one’s self-expression. It is the voice that clearly dispells thoughts, ideas, feelig and beauty without verbally emitting a sound.”
and
“Dresses that we dream about can become poetry which articulates the body. Architecture becomes an ethereal form of design.”
Oh, swaan, as a one-time college lecturer, I am SO disappointed — yet somehow not surprised — to find out that this site exists. Even if it is meant to be taken in jest, it explains how some of my former “colleagues” “earned” a doctorate.
The rest of those poor creatures were sold to a furrier (or a Furry) to make an expensive garment from. These remnants can be had very inexpensively from animal skin brokers, or dudes at ren fairs.
“inquire for availability”?? does this mean she has other animal heads just sitting around, waiting to be made into bras? or does it mean she hunts and will kill any animal?
WTF is that thing? It looks like a cross between a husky puppy and a baby opossum–it’s adorable. Want. Unless it actually IS the aforementioned cross, in which case it would undoubtedly grow up to be vicious, insane, and a heavy shedder, sooo… no thanks. But still cute.
I tried wearing it on my beach vacation. Made some really interesting tan lines, and boy you do NOT want to wear that sucker in the water!
Now I’m just picturing the negative feedback I would leave in such a situation: “seller did not specify that it was not to be worn while water skiing. Now it’s RUINED!”
I’ve been trying to come up with a joke here, but either the tree pollen or the vodka is messing with my though processes so I’ll just leave the possible punchlines:
- “Yeah but when I went to cop a feel, the damn thing bit me!”
- “My dogs are barking!”
- “Yes but are they paper trained?”
I have 2 Bichon Frise’s, this might be something I could have done with them once they go to doggie heaven, what a lovely tribute, their little black noses and fluffy ears on me for eternity!
I’m pretty sure that even if I had spent the last 10 years finding new and unusual things to put my tits into, dessicated coyote heads would be a new one.
Meh. I’ve seen jewelry made by hot-gluing shiny things + a chain on a brooch to live beetles. Wake me when she’s made a live-beaver bolero* and I’ll get back to you.
*another indie band? It’s no Gushing Patina or Saggy Scrotums, but hell, it’s only Monday.
Since they do custom orders and their “non-custom” Large size only goes up to a 38C, I wonder what they kill for those of us who are in the DD+ category. Almost makes me want to convo the seller and ask. Almost.
Overkill? No way, they didn’t go far enough. The horse should be a unicorn, and then it would be elevated from High Art to God Damned Mind-Bending Miracle.
March 19, 2012 at 10:16 am
Man, that Roadrunner couture line is brutal.
March 19, 2012 at 10:45 am
Meep! Meep!
You did say roadrunner not road kill couture – but either one would apply
March 19, 2012 at 10:48 am
The Road Runner from the Wile E Coyote cartoons was what I had in mind.
March 19, 2012 at 11:02 am
Wile E. Coyote is too much of a super genius to fall for this monstrosity. Unless it comes from Acme Products, of course.
March 19, 2012 at 1:03 pm
See, the secret is that much like the Dread Pirate Roberts, a new Wile E pops up to replace the old one when his schemes go awry.
Guess what happens to the old ones?
March 19, 2012 at 2:04 pm
The old ones become Road Runner toys? Oh, wait, that would be redundant.
I don’t know.
March 20, 2012 at 2:15 am
they become boobie-holders…..
March 20, 2012 at 7:46 am
::Headdesk:: D’oh!
March 19, 2012 at 10:17 am
finally I can get some head while I go to 2nd base.
March 19, 2012 at 10:17 am
Did they just tear a piece of construction paper to make the neck part?
March 19, 2012 at 10:18 am
I’m sure that’s just a piece of dirty linen.
March 19, 2012 at 10:19 am
Flattened beef jerky was my thought.
March 19, 2012 at 10:18 am
psh. everyone knows fox jekyll face in more couture than fox hyde face.
March 19, 2012 at 10:19 am
I’m still waiting for the seller to make those squirrel head pasties I suggested.
March 19, 2012 at 10:37 am
March 19, 2012 at 10:50 am
Squirrel pasty, indeed! Now someone Photoshop that into a burlesque outfit.
March 19, 2012 at 11:57 am
….pasty or pastry? I think the slight language barrier from across the pond is showing again…
March 19, 2012 at 12:00 pm
Delicious either way, I’m sure.
March 19, 2012 at 12:15 pm
Nope, pasties, like the delicious meat pies made in the Upper Peninsula. Pronounced with a short “a” sound, as in “past.” Different from what you might see in burlesque shows. I learned that difference early on, thanks to a mother who grew up in Houghton.
March 19, 2012 at 1:58 pm
although the children selling them in the Merchant area of Pennsic pronounce it with the long-A sound, and they also shout “meat pie” too…
(or at least they did. It’s been nigh on a score of years since I’ve been to a Pennsic War)
March 19, 2012 at 6:48 pm
My mom kept running around the UP telling people she loved pasties (long a) and that they were awesome and that they should get them for their kids. The other tourists were understandably disturbed until I explained what pasties (short a) were. I then told mom to stfu when we were alone. She was mortified because she hadn’t made the connection between pasties (short a) and pasties (long a). Gotta love Michigan.
March 19, 2012 at 3:04 pm
Gnu, you are my new hero. Gyro? Ha!
March 19, 2012 at 10:19 am
Om Nom Nom Nom!
March 19, 2012 at 10:19 am
I only want this if it barks when someone puts their hand too close.
March 19, 2012 at 10:26 am
I’d suggest to simply hog-tie two ornery spitz dogs together, but I’m pretty sure there are laws against that type of thing.
March 19, 2012 at 10:52 am
It would make a hell of a YouTube video.
March 19, 2012 at 10:47 am
I see you’ve watched The Addams Family !!(snap snap)
March 19, 2012 at 10:19 am
I think I’ll wear this to my next job interview.
March 19, 2012 at 10:35 am
I did. Not suggested.
March 19, 2012 at 10:43 am
Would you really want a job where wearing that might actually help your standing?
March 19, 2012 at 1:59 pm
If I were applying to the Dalthrakian Horde, it might help (OK, I just got the DVD set… I’m late to the party)
March 19, 2012 at 3:11 pm
Fucking Blood Elves…
March 19, 2012 at 10:22 am
Oooh, they take custom orders.
I’d like one side to be a guinea pig and the other side to be a buffalo.
(guinea pig on the left, please.)
March 19, 2012 at 10:30 am
If you’re a little lopsided (and who of us isn’t?), perhaps switching sides (buffalo on the left) would help.
March 19, 2012 at 10:32 am
wait, your left or the viewer’s left? because these things matter, really.
March 19, 2012 at 10:46 am
Would a gnu do?
March 19, 2012 at 11:04 am
He looks like he has something to say. So, nu?
March 19, 2012 at 11:10 am
So, nu, gnu?
March 19, 2012 at 11:19 am
Request the mouths to be directly over the nipples.
Hipsters are really into dead, suckling fauna (for now).
March 19, 2012 at 10:23 am
The neck strap is MUCH thicker on one side than the other. And for that reason, I will not be purchasing.
March 19, 2012 at 10:24 am
Is this a new fashion line by Ted Nugent’s wife?
March 19, 2012 at 10:31 am
I’m unexpectedly unsurprised that her name is ‘Shemane’. It just works, somehow.
March 19, 2012 at 6:11 pm
“Fabulous secrets were revealed to me, the day I held aloft my grilling spatula and said: for the Honor of Roadkill!”

March 19, 2012 at 10:44 am
Laid bare the *real* heart and soul of the Republican Party.
March 19, 2012 at 11:06 am
Or Jesus, according to Aqua Teens.
March 19, 2012 at 10:51 am
I guess hair nets are out of the question.
March 19, 2012 at 12:38 pm
Only pink-blooded commie liberals wear hair nets.
Wait, I thought Nugent hunted ONLY with a bow and arrow. He’s using a gun now? What a wuss!
March 19, 2012 at 1:48 pm
Bow and arrow??? Wuss. Is Ted too afraid to kill the deer with his teeth like God intended. After all Jesus killed a bear when he was just three using only his left incisor.
March 19, 2012 at 2:01 pm
I’m pretty sure that was Teddy Roosevelt. I can see how you might get them confused.
March 19, 2012 at 2:01 pm
Or maybe it was Hercules
March 19, 2012 at 3:25 pm
A handtogod true story: When Teddy Roosevelt was doing one of his Whistle Stop train tours, just as his train was pulling away, an eight-year-old girl (!) tossed a badger (!!) into the car as a gift, being sure to shout that the badger’s name was ‘Josiah’. Teddy actually kept Josiah at the White House, where he (Josiah, usually) would attack various visiting members of Congress, which probably was a kinder greeting than they usually got from Teddy. Personally, I am surprised that ol’ Ted didn’t name both Josiah and the badass eight-year-old to important posts in his Cabinet.
The moral of the story: I’m pretty sure HK is directly descended from that little girl. Or possibly Josiah. It could go either way.
March 20, 2012 at 7:48 am
I just love the image of a little girl flinging a badger into a train car as the train is departing. I’m glad it was a friendly badger, because that could have gone horribly wrong.
March 19, 2012 at 10:24 am
Plus there is that whole thing about Arctic Foxes being endangered species…but you know it looks great on your tits so who cares right?
March 19, 2012 at 2:50 pm
I’m not sure how “great” it looks, but what the heck, anything for a titty.
March 20, 2012 at 7:19 am
Yeah…that really pisses me off. I don’t mean to sound like a crazy PETA person, but that just isn’t cool. If anything, she should make Nutria bras or something. Apparently those might be more helpful to the environment on a tit.
March 19, 2012 at 10:26 am
Antlers are a second “garment.” GARMENT!
Behold my shrug make of fingernail clippings, dog hair and owl pellets!
March 19, 2012 at 2:02 pm
“Antlers are a second garment” should be on a sampler.
March 19, 2012 at 2:52 pm
Ohh, I can wear them as a separate thing. But can I change the size of the smell? Cuz you know these buggers have a smell.
March 19, 2012 at 10:28 am
I followed the trail to find some kind of explanation to what happened to the rest of those poor creatures, and all I found was some pseudo-postmodern bullshit on her website, which included such gems as:

March 19, 2012 at 11:38 am
I’m writing my diss right now, and I learned about it on Facebook through another academic. It’s a good reminder about how NOT to write.
March 19, 2012 at 11:08 am
LOL thanks for that link!
March 19, 2012 at 11:21 am
Well, there’s certainly been some dispelling of thoughts and beauty going on.
March 19, 2012 at 11:32 am
*feeling
(That one was my mistake.)
March 19, 2012 at 1:30 pm
You would HAVE to “dispell [sic] thoughts, ideas, feelig [sic] and beauty” in order to produce this level of “fashion”.
That, or overdose on milk of magnesia.
March 19, 2012 at 2:03 pm
The rest of those poor creatures were sold to a furrier (or a Furry) to make an expensive garment from. These remnants can be had very inexpensively from animal skin brokers, or dudes at ren fairs.
March 19, 2012 at 3:16 pm
LOVELY link, thank you! Now I know what to post on Facebook when I run out of photos of my lunch and socks.
March 19, 2012 at 10:29 am
Technically, only one of your tits is a coyote. So your argument is only half-right.
March 19, 2012 at 10:30 am
“inquire for availability”?? does this mean she has other animal heads just sitting around, waiting to be made into bras? or does it mean she hunts and will kill any animal?
March 19, 2012 at 10:36 am
That means that if you want glitter tears attached, she’ll see what she can do after she contacts Dennis Hadron.
Also, not all animals match up so well. For instance, you’ll never catch a fox kissing a raccoon. Foxes hate those creeping little bastards.
March 19, 2012 at 3:18 pm
I know where she can get a resinated hog’s head.
March 19, 2012 at 10:31 am
This hick knows that the heads are the scrap parts of a pelt, so she should have tagged it “upcycled” as well.
March 19, 2012 at 10:33 am
Mommy? No!!! What did they do to you?!
March 19, 2012 at 10:46 am
Oh my god. Must. Resist. The fluffy.
March 19, 2012 at 10:56 am
You can’t resist the fluffy, so don’t even try.
March 19, 2012 at 11:44 am
I really can’t. I’d risk so many nipped fingers to cuddle that for five seconds. Resistance is futile!
March 19, 2012 at 3:28 pm
It’s so fluffy, I’m gonna DIE!
March 19, 2012 at 10:53 am
Aw. That makes me sad.
March 19, 2012 at 2:04 pm
ME TOO

I’m afraid I’m developing a canine nose fetish.

WTF is that thing? It looks like a cross between a husky puppy and a baby opossum–it’s adorable. Want. Unless it actually IS the aforementioned cross, in which case it would undoubtedly grow up to be vicious, insane, and a heavy shedder, sooo… no thanks. But still cute.
March 19, 2012 at 8:26 pm
It’s an arctic fox kit. If you want cute overload go to http://www.zooborns.com/.
March 20, 2012 at 7:56 am
Wow. I never thought I could run out of Awwwwwwwwwwwwws, but that site did it.
March 19, 2012 at 10:36 am
I like her site – fun and frivolous. (Aside from the whole “road kill as fashion” thing. That part is kind of icky.)
March 19, 2012 at 10:41 am
Oh, Humanity. Can you get more horrible?
NO, HUMANITY, IT WAS NOT A CHALLENGE!

March 19, 2012 at 10:48 am
My tits are nukes. Nobody ever argues with me.
I should make a warhead bra to sell on etsy.
March 19, 2012 at 2:06 pm
It’s been done
March 19, 2012 at 10:49 am
I tried wearing it on my beach vacation. Made some really interesting tan lines, and boy you do NOT want to wear that sucker in the water!
Now I’m just picturing the negative feedback I would leave in such a situation: “seller did not specify that it was not to be worn while water skiing. Now it’s RUINED!”
March 19, 2012 at 10:55 am
I wonder if they can make a loincloth from raccoon pelts?

Sad fact is, she could use hamster heads on both sides and pretty much cover up everything enough so that I could be legal in public. What?

“Taxidermy” and “bra” should never be in the same sentence.

I gots the DD’s too…hmm…elk perhaps? Bear?
March 19, 2012 at 3:24 pm
As I redundantly mentioned above: There’s that resinated hog’s head…
(Who’d have ever thought I could get so much mileage out of something I can’t even look at?)
(That’s rhetorical, btw..)
March 20, 2012 at 8:52 am
I have FFs, I need two buffalo heads…
March 19, 2012 at 12:50 pm
Well there’s a…creative outfit from the remnants of the fur industry.
March 19, 2012 at 12:51 pm
The main positive I see is that in the past three years, she has had only one sale.
March 19, 2012 at 12:53 pm
File under Not CavePunk
March 19, 2012 at 12:59 pm
I would pay like $10 for a print of the default picture of this item. That is some seriously whimsicle fuckery.
March 19, 2012 at 1:08 pm
I’m not sure I’d trust a Fox and a Coyote to corral a pair of loose Puppies.
March 19, 2012 at 1:33 pm
Laugh all you want but Flintstone couture is so in right now.
March 19, 2012 at 2:53 pm
Despite the weirdness of this item, her tights are pretty cool:
http://www.etsy.com/listing/64187903/papusza-limb-tights
Though why she chose the “murder victim” style to be the first picture is a bit beyond me.
March 19, 2012 at 3:03 pm
Wow that pic is creepy. Not only murder victim, but murder victim in a pram.
March 19, 2012 at 7:12 pm
In this store: rejected Silent Hill monster designs?
March 19, 2012 at 3:34 pm
Really you can get the same effect if you put on a pair of tights and give my toddler a juice box. I’ll only charge you $10.
March 19, 2012 at 10:51 pm
I took one look at this, remembered the alligator-tit post, and thought “My tits are coyotes. Your argument is invalid.”
Then I scrolled down. And I was simultaneously very proud of myself and kind of scared.
March 20, 2012 at 7:41 am
The originally pic in it’s entirety would have looked better without the stupid animal ears. Overkill.
March 23, 2012 at 7:12 am
Overkill? No way, they didn’t go far enough. The horse should be a unicorn, and then it would be elevated from High Art to God Damned Mind-Bending Miracle.

Okay so it’s NOT Lady Gaga, right?

You can buy your own coyote faces for under $4 each.
I love people who massively overprice things.
