That’s exactly what I thought when I saw it.
It’s pretty much just as terrifying as the Fire Gang from the Labyrinth. And I’d like to see her pull off her own head.
My first thought was of the Ultimate Warrior. I tried emulating him has a kid–my mom got pissed when I started tying random shit to my arms and legs. (Did I just date myself?)
You mean there are other TiGWeTeGans on Regretsy? Awesome. That was one of my favourite crossover reviews. The Ultimate Warrior is a fucking raving lunatic!
I thought so at first glance. I had to look at really close to make sure it wasn’t. It wouldn’t have surprised in the least if it was made of condoms unfortunately.
Damn! Why would you wear a costume like this with a body like that? If I had that body, I’d wear slutty Halloween costumes all year! (except I go to school in Minnesota, like having amusing and unique costumes, and have a shred of dignity, but still, you get what I’m saying…)
I have a little voice in my head screaming PHOTOSHOP. Admittedly it screams this at every picture. Is it just me or does her arm, her head, and her body not quite match.
I think it’s just that the sleeve of the costume extends past where her arm/hand ends to attach to her waist giving that illusion. The “flames” around her waist also cover the fact that she is wearing baggy pants hanging off a full derriere on an otherwise skinny body.
I don’t see any PS trickery here
I don’t trust her. I’ve learned the hard way that when an outfit is modeled with exaggerated poses such as this, it’s to hide the fact that it’s a badly designed and ill-fitting outfit.
As long as we’re confessing…sometimes, when I’m feeling a little frisky, I hire a hooker to put on a Phyllis Diller wig, and hot glue used condoms all over herself. That $500 belongs to me.
Okay, I could see this as a reasonable purchase if you were a member of a modern dance troupe performing some sort of dance about the elements; it would “read” well on stage.
Actually the market for this type of stuff is pretty significant. It is made for the festival or rave culture. People can wear some pretty ugly costumes at Burning Man. My friend makes a living making colorful fur boots.
I used to be in charge of costumes for circus performances, and I kinda wanted this one! I’d want it more if it didn’t look like a bunch of busted balloons for $500.
It would read well on stage? Okay, I have no experience in stage theater, but my first reaction was to giggle madly at the outfit. I’m not sure my reaction would be any different were this costume presented to me in a theater setting.
Imagine a darkened stage, and then a single yellow spotlight fixed on her. I’m not saying it wouldn’t be weird, but it would be dramatic and a lot of the problems (like the condom-like quality of some of the flames) would not be visible at a distance.
I’m still giggling, but I blame that on the general goofiness of the original image, the lovely shop by gnu and that I’m an uncultured degenerate. You tried, Rana, which is what counts.
More like some fabulous brother of Carnage – an attention whoring symbiote costume that makes you strike weird poses, flail hands and break into spontaneous dance numbers.
“First you must find… another shrubbery! (dramatic chord) Then, when you have found the shrubbery, you must place it here, beside this shrubbery, only slightly higher so you get a two layer effect with a little path running down the middle. (“A path! A path!”) Then, you must cut down the mightiest tree in the forrest… with… a herring!”
So this is kinda art related and I might even put it up on etsy and try to pawn it off by claiming fairies painted it, but I have to do a portrait for art class tomorrow. Have to put in a bit of effort so I want someone epic, but can’t think of anything. Anyone gots ideas?
Because I often want to play mermaid by strapping plastic goldfish onto my boobs, and tangling my legs in basketball nets which do crazy things under blacklights.
Chicken Boo, what’s the matter with you?
You don’t act like the other chickens do.
You wear a disguise To look like human guys,
But you’re not man; you’re a Chicken Boo.
I kind of like the costume. As much as I love dressing up for Halloween, Mardi Gras and other costume holidays and events, I would never pay $500 for such a thing. Hell, I didn’t even pay $500 for my wedding dress.
I agree. I would be perfectly willing to wear the costume and follow Spandy Andy’s tight-bright train in his next flash mob. But it’s out of my price range.
OH MY GOD!
I used to LOVE Lancelot Link!
My friends and I still do that “dance” they used to do at the end; Lance and Mata Hari
Way too stupid, yet funny
I’ve seen a poster on here named Lancelot Link Secret Pimp. I’ve only seen a few episodes. My brother and I got my dad DVDs for his birthday after he showed us one. Apparently, he watched it in high school or college (he insists he watched it to make fun of it when there was nothing else on. That, and he loves chimps acting like people).
i have to say that i bought her 70s dress w/ the birds chasing the rabbits across the clouds, so you’ve given her a sale she didnt expect, one that has nothing to do w/ the absurdity posted.
in addition to the absurdity posted, someone might also be interested in her bunny costume. even i actually love the rabbit shoulders on that [but nobody's ever accused me of having sedate taste]. i would post it but i’m beat. i did give her a heads up about how i found her.
I, too, thought the bunny costume had merit. She has some interesting stuff…others, not so much. But then, that’s what it’s all about: different strokes and the like, eh?
I’m aware of that, just illustrating the point. Even the “average mummer” (is there such thing?) costume has considerable detail and is quite expensive
Their one sale was a “70ies” dress. As in, “Seventy-ies”. Not “Seventies”, which one would write, logically, as 70s.
But “Seventy-ies”.
Seventy-ies.
Seventy-ies.
Seventy-ies.
I think I’ve discovered the Etsy hippie mantra.
Also, do you think she takes her own photos with a time-delay camera, or is there someone in her life who likes exotically-colored condoms and popped water balloons as much as she does?
Gala dinners are the worst. It is a #firstworldproblem of #firstworldproblems, but seriously, gala dinners are what parties would be like if fun were made illegal. Like you have your conversation and you still have to fight to keep it entertaining for the three hours you are going to be there like it’s the last conversation out of Saigon before it falls to the communists
but seriously, I want to go to a gala dinner where everyone wears this costume and makes funny poses.
This looks like something set itself on fire, had a glitter fight, pissed Kool-Aid upwards to put out the flames, and then posed very self-consciously. In other words, entertaining.
1. Now I know what to wear for my niece’s baptism
2. I can also use this to dress up as firecrotch for halloween
3. I can take pictures of myself wearing this while making sexy poses and market it as firecrotch porn.

Katniss?!
March 26, 2012 at 4:20 pm
My first thought when I read the title of the listing.
My very last thought once I saw the execution.
I went to the midnight show in a Mockingjay tshirt, nails painted in a flame motif, and “fire” eyeshadow. I guess I just wasn’t literal enough.
March 26, 2012 at 5:04 pm
I guess I just didn’t achieve enough… I went to the midnight show in a Mockingjay shirt and flaming eyes, but no flame motif.
March 26, 2012 at 6:17 pm
My first thought was how could they have missed including a “Hunger Games” tag on this? I mean come on people, that’s like Etsy Marketing 101!
March 27, 2012 at 10:16 am
Fuck, that’s like how you get the entire Internet to look at your shit.

March 26, 2012 at 5:55 pm
That’s exactly what I thought when I saw it.
It’s pretty much just as terrifying as the Fire Gang from the Labyrinth. And I’d like to see her pull off her own head.

I’d stick my weenie in your photoshop skills any day. This made me spit my beer. I’m logging out to lash myself Corpus Dei style right now.
March 28, 2012 at 9:21 am
That’s the best photoshop ever.
March 29, 2012 at 12:17 pm
Haha, classic!! Except your not allowed to throw other peoples heads
March 26, 2012 at 6:16 pm
I wish this is what I thought of when I first saw it. My first thought was – dried chile peppers??? WTH.
March 26, 2012 at 7:48 pm
I thought they were colourful condoms at first. I guess balloons would be more likely. But with Etsy, you never know.
March 26, 2012 at 9:17 pm
Zaria, I’m glad it wasn’t just me – I thought the same thing.
March 27, 2012 at 7:22 am
I saw peppers, too. I suppose for those that like it a li’l spicy…?
March 27, 2012 at 2:37 pm
I thought the same thing… when I go to Ric Bayless’ Halloween party, this will be the most rockin’ chile ristra costume ever!
But my 10yo said, “Is that Chewbacca on fire?” Half right… that’s my boy!
March 26, 2012 at 4:18 pm
You’d think she would vacuum first before listing on etsy.
March 26, 2012 at 4:19 pm
not dirt…they’re stains…*shudders*
March 26, 2012 at 4:27 pm
You are definitely my kind of person if that is the first thing you notice.
March 26, 2012 at 4:27 pm
She’s molting.
March 26, 2012 at 4:33 pm
Frankly I’m disappointed that such a Free Spirit* would have such mundane furnishings.
*Filthy Hippy
March 26, 2012 at 5:34 pm
She can’t. She’s too short: the “tutu bustle” is only long enough to fit a 6″ person
March 27, 2012 at 9:28 am
If you were 6 inches tall, you could wear the tutu and dance under an 18-inch-tall Stonehenge model!
March 27, 2012 at 11:37 am
Her tutu goes to eleven
March 26, 2012 at 4:18 pm
Looks more like the dumpster of the Bunny Ranch…than fire.
Though I’m sure burning is involved in either case.
March 26, 2012 at 4:18 pm
And then I put their weenies on a stick and have a campfire roast…
March 26, 2012 at 4:18 pm
Looks like the garbage heap from “Fraggle Rock” and a firey from “Labyrinth” had a baby.
March 26, 2012 at 5:13 pm
EXACTLY THIS.
March 11, 2013 at 9:46 pm
I was thinking ‘Mexican Big Bird’ personally.
March 26, 2012 at 4:18 pm
My first thought was of the Ultimate Warrior. I tried emulating him has a kid–my mom got pissed when I started tying random shit to my arms and legs. (Did I just date myself?)
March 26, 2012 at 5:42 pm
Did you know that he co-wrote a horrible short running pseudo-philosophical, impossible to follow comic strip called “Warrior”?
Here’s an image from the Christmas issue:
http://www.i-mockery.com/minimocks/warrior-xmas/
There’s no way that what looks like happened is what happened, right? Right!?!
A video review of the first issue: http://thatguywiththeglasses.com/videolinks/spoonyone/reviews/7238-warrior1
March 26, 2012 at 5:43 pm
“comic book”, not “strip” (like what he did to santa…)
March 27, 2012 at 4:16 pm
Wait…did he just date-rape Santa?
March 27, 2012 at 5:30 pm
IDK, it could have been a consentual drunken romp that ended up with Santa passed out on the floor. Santa probably started it.
March 27, 2012 at 10:02 pm
You mean there are other TiGWeTeGans on Regretsy? Awesome. That was one of my favourite crossover reviews. The Ultimate Warrior is a fucking raving lunatic!
March 27, 2012 at 10:23 pm
You didn’t see my comment on the Titanic shoes the other day?
Also, did you see the later reviews of following issues? It makes a little more sense after that.
March 26, 2012 at 4:19 pm
Oh, my god. I thought that was made of condoms.
March 26, 2012 at 4:19 pm
That thought crossed my mind also.
March 26, 2012 at 4:24 pm
Ditto.
March 26, 2012 at 4:48 pm
Same here.
March 27, 2012 at 7:36 am
I thought so at first glance. I had to look at really close to make sure it wasn’t. It wouldn’t have surprised in the least if it was made of condoms unfortunately.
March 27, 2012 at 11:56 am
Condoms come in that size?? But, no. Not condoms: somewhere a used car lot is wondering where 1200 ft of red & yellow banner ropes went.
March 26, 2012 at 4:19 pm
Muppet? Fraggle? Pinata? What are we going for here?
March 26, 2012 at 4:58 pm
I say pretend it’s a Pinata and beat the shit out of it with a Baseball Bat.
March 27, 2012 at 5:31 pm
Will the cricket bat I’ve been saving for the zombie apocalypse do?
March 26, 2012 at 4:19 pm
It already looks pretty uncomfortable. Don’t know that I want to wear it with my legs tied around my waist.
March 27, 2012 at 11:07 pm
I was so hoping for a ‘shop of the model with her legs tied around her waist… I’d have a go but don’t have the attn span currently.
March 26, 2012 at 4:19 pm
I would wear the shit outta this thing. No lie. just me in it.. running around shouting I’M ON FIRE!
bonus if I can get someone to go as a Fireman.
March 26, 2012 at 4:36 pm
I can feel some interpretive dancing coming on…
March 26, 2012 at 5:00 pm
Can I chase you around with a marshmallow on a stick?
March 26, 2012 at 6:22 pm
Don’t forget to periodically stop, drop and roll.
March 26, 2012 at 4:20 pm
On my mobile – it looks like a costume made of colorful condoms.
Then I thought it looked like a costume made from chile ristras.
March 26, 2012 at 4:20 pm
I thought she was shilling for some fried-chicken joint.
March 26, 2012 at 4:22 pm
And she’s gonna have SOME FUN ripping that tape off her girlparts [click through to other views].
March 26, 2012 at 4:29 pm
At first sight I wouldn’t have guessed that someone would find a way to use tits to see this, but lo and behold!
March 26, 2012 at 4:29 pm
*sell
March 26, 2012 at 6:56 pm
Her eyes are up hee… oh, never mind.
March 26, 2012 at 5:49 pm
Damn! Why would you wear a costume like this with a body like that? If I had that body, I’d wear slutty Halloween costumes all year! (except I go to school in Minnesota, like having amusing and unique costumes, and have a shred of dignity, but still, you get what I’m saying…)
March 26, 2012 at 9:22 pm
For the lazy who don’t feel like clicking . . .
March 27, 2012 at 6:22 am
ok, now THAT is hot.
(see what I did there?)
Rushgirl, I BEG that you now buy this and dress exactly the same way at my place…say 15 minutes?
I’ll be in my bunk
March 27, 2012 at 11:28 am
I have a little voice in my head screaming PHOTOSHOP. Admittedly it screams this at every picture. Is it just me or does her arm, her head, and her body not quite match.
March 27, 2012 at 11:34 am
I think it’s just that the sleeve of the costume extends past where her arm/hand ends to attach to her waist giving that illusion. The “flames” around her waist also cover the fact that she is wearing baggy pants hanging off a full derriere on an otherwise skinny body.
I don’t see any PS trickery here
March 26, 2012 at 4:21 pm
From the listing: “a women’s size 6-8 , or men’s small/med”
Just in case any men were wondering.
March 26, 2012 at 5:33 pm
I don’t trust her. I’ve learned the hard way that when an outfit is modeled with exaggerated poses such as this, it’s to hide the fact that it’s a badly designed and ill-fitting outfit.
March 27, 2012 at 6:22 am
Come on…we ALL know that Bronc already bought this by now so he can wear it to next year’s Burning Man…as an armband
March 26, 2012 at 4:22 pm
reminds me of those things from Labyrinth that Sarah ripped their heads off and threw them…they kept harassing her…hmm
March 26, 2012 at 4:22 pm
My first thought: The Fire Gang from Labyrinth
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sU_6l1kwu7Y
Maybe she lost her head?
March 26, 2012 at 4:22 pm
That’s who I was thinking of!!! YEAH!!
March 26, 2012 at 4:28 pm
I’m so glad many of us are on the same page.
On that note, IT’S DAVID BOWIE GIF/VIDEO TIME. Oh yeah!
And maybe time to watch Labyrinth. And maybe bunk time for many of us FJLs.
March 26, 2012 at 4:22 pm
I would rather be actually *on fire* than wear that. It looks like a bunch of busted balloons.
March 26, 2012 at 4:22 pm
Clearly she colors her hair cause she’s a fire crotch.
March 26, 2012 at 4:23 pm
well, at least it can also be worn as a jacket. with a leg belt. totally makes it worth $500.
March 26, 2012 at 4:23 pm
“FLAME ON!”
March 27, 2012 at 11:35 am
Flame-yo sir. Flame-yo
March 26, 2012 at 4:24 pm
…is she about to pass out or take a dump?
March 26, 2012 at 4:27 pm
Looks to me as if she is going to lay an egg. She looks like a giant Rhode Island Red.
March 26, 2012 at 5:00 pm
March 26, 2012 at 4:25 pm
Is anyone else baffled by how expensive this crap is??
March 26, 2012 at 4:47 pm
Constantly.
March 26, 2012 at 4:25 pm
She looks like she’s about to lay an egg. Or a lump of coal.
March 26, 2012 at 4:26 pm
This is obviously something dreamed up at Burning Man (from what I’ve been told goes on there), and if that’s true the caption holds true.
March 26, 2012 at 5:49 pm
burning wombyn?
March 26, 2012 at 4:26 pm
As long as we’re confessing…sometimes, when I’m feeling a little frisky, I hire a hooker to put on a Phyllis Diller wig, and hot glue used condoms all over herself. That $500 belongs to me.
March 26, 2012 at 5:35 pm
I read “When I’m feeling a little frisky, I set a hooker on fire.”
I don’t judge what happens between consenting adults.
March 26, 2012 at 7:37 pm
It’s all fun and games till someone ends up in the ER with second-degree burns over 70% of their body.
March 26, 2012 at 4:28 pm

March 26, 2012 at 4:29 pm
Okay, I could see this as a reasonable purchase if you were a member of a modern dance troupe performing some sort of dance about the elements; it would “read” well on stage.
But that’s not exactly a huge market, now, is it?
March 26, 2012 at 5:08 pm
Actually the market for this type of stuff is pretty significant. It is made for the festival or rave culture. People can wear some pretty ugly costumes at Burning Man. My friend makes a living making colorful fur boots.
March 26, 2012 at 5:35 pm
I used to be in charge of costumes for circus performances, and I kinda wanted this one! I’d want it more if it didn’t look like a bunch of busted balloons for $500.

It would read well on stage? Okay, I have no experience in stage theater, but my first reaction was to giggle madly at the outfit. I’m not sure my reaction would be any different were this costume presented to me in a theater setting.
March 27, 2012 at 11:20 am
Imagine a darkened stage, and then a single yellow spotlight fixed on her. I’m not saying it wouldn’t be weird, but it would be dramatic and a lot of the problems (like the condom-like quality of some of the flames) would not be visible at a distance.
March 27, 2012 at 8:23 pm
I’m still giggling, but I blame that on the general goofiness of the original image, the lovely shop by gnu and that I’m an uncultured degenerate. You tried, Rana, which is what counts.
March 26, 2012 at 4:30 pm
Gives new meaning to the term “firecrotch.”
March 26, 2012 at 4:32 pm
I like to put this on, then stop by the firehousr to ask the local firemen to teach me how to “stop, drop, and roll”.
March 26, 2012 at 4:37 pm
So happy it doubles as a jacket with sash-legs. For $500, I want my cellophane firewear to be versatile.
March 26, 2012 at 4:40 pm
I thought it was supposed to be a Phoenix costume… :/
March 26, 2012 at 4:52 pm
More like some fabulous brother of Carnage – an attention whoring symbiote costume that makes you strike weird poses, flail hands and break into spontaneous dance numbers.

“First you must find… another shrubbery! (dramatic chord) Then, when you have found the shrubbery, you must place it here, beside this shrubbery, only slightly higher so you get a two layer effect with a little path running down the middle. (“A path! A path!”) Then, you must cut down the mightiest tree in the forrest… with… a herring!”

So this is kinda art related and I might even put it up on etsy and try to pawn it off by claiming fairies painted it, but I have to do a portrait for art class tomorrow. Have to put in a bit of effort so I want someone epic, but can’t think of anything. Anyone gots ideas?
March 26, 2012 at 5:59 pm
How about April? Or Bronc? Or Petya? Or Dror… you get the idea.
Of course, then you’d have to out yourself as a FJL, but it might be worth it.

Because I often want to play mermaid by strapping plastic goldfish onto my boobs, and tangling my legs in basketball nets which do crazy things under blacklights.
(There’s something popping out in this photo…)
March 26, 2012 at 5:24 pm
That is a definite nip slip.
March 26, 2012 at 6:21 pm
I think it’s supposed to be showing what would have happened if Ponyo didn’t get out of that dredging net.
March 26, 2012 at 6:25 pm
My favorite are the black light pictures. What exactly has she been doing in that costume to get those bright patches?
March 27, 2012 at 6:29 am
Would have been funnier if she used plecostomus
March 27, 2012 at 1:39 pm
I love the part where she admits it’s just basketball netting… that justifies the price almost as much as “The hat is sold separately”.

I hope they’re new.. if they are.
March 26, 2012 at 4:58 pm
I kind of like the costume. As much as I love dressing up for Halloween, Mardi Gras and other costume holidays and events, I would never pay $500 for such a thing. Hell, I didn’t even pay $500 for my wedding dress.
March 26, 2012 at 10:11 pm
I agree. I would be perfectly willing to wear the costume and follow Spandy Andy’s tight-bright train in his next flash mob. But it’s out of my price range.
March 26, 2012 at 5:10 pm

OH MY GOD!
I used to LOVE Lancelot Link!
My friends and I still do that “dance” they used to do at the end; Lance and Mata Hari
Way too stupid, yet funny

I’ve seen a poster on here named Lancelot Link Secret Pimp. I’ve only seen a few episodes. My brother and I got my dad DVDs for his birthday after he showed us one. Apparently, he watched it in high school or college (he insists he watched it to make fun of it when there was nothing else on. That, and he loves chimps acting like people).

i have to say that i bought her 70s dress w/ the birds chasing the rabbits across the clouds, so you’ve given her a sale she didnt expect, one that has nothing to do w/ the absurdity posted.
in addition to the absurdity posted, someone might also be interested in her bunny costume. even i actually love the rabbit shoulders on that [but nobody's ever accused me of having sedate taste]. i would post it but i’m beat. i did give her a heads up about how i found her.
March 26, 2012 at 6:18 pm
I read that as “birds chasing the rabbis across the clouds.” Now that, I’d buy!
March 27, 2012 at 6:34 am
I, too, thought the bunny costume had merit. She has some interesting stuff…others, not so much. But then, that’s what it’s all about: different strokes and the like, eh?
March 27, 2012 at 1:42 pm
That dress is adorable. Also, you appear to be her first and only sale since 2008. If I’m reading Etsy right.
March 26, 2012 at 5:23 pm
Fucking burner hippys.
March 26, 2012 at 5:40 pm
Added bonus: it’s super-flammable if you like it extra-fiery.
March 26, 2012 at 6:00 pm
Isn’t that Chaz Michael Michaels?
March 26, 2012 at 6:10 pm
I want to pour water on her.
March 26, 2012 at 6:29 pm
If she’s going for Dave Matthews’ fire dancer, then this is the biggest fail I’ve seen on this site in a long, long while.

David Byrne is selling off his stage wardrobe?
March 26, 2012 at 6:49 pm

The Mummer’s Parade called. They want their outfit back.
March 27, 2012 at 6:37 am
C’mon…Mummers put WAY more into their costumes…and they cost WAY more than $500 to make!
March 27, 2012 at 7:17 am
But to be fair, that’s a team captain’s costume you’ve got in that photo; they’re way more expensive and built up than the average Mummer’s costume.
March 27, 2012 at 7:50 am
I’m aware of that, just illustrating the point. Even the “average mummer” (is there such thing?) costume has considerable detail and is quite expensive
March 26, 2012 at 7:03 pm
I feel a little weird about how much I want this.
March 26, 2012 at 7:30 pm
Roast chicken tonight?
Maybe watch Smokey and the Bandit?
March 26, 2012 at 7:37 pm
can i get a “threw me into water, but i didn’t float” costume instead?
March 26, 2012 at 8:45 pm
I can’t top HK’s caption…that was gold.
At first I thought the seller’s name was rocketgyno.
Eek.
I’m trying to figure out that blob of yellow tulle on the hairdryer.
So I’ll prolly have a migraine tomorrow.

Someone took the Burning Man idea a bit too literally.
March 26, 2012 at 10:07 pm
I must be seriously crazy because I love this thing. I’d put it on every time I left the house.
March 27, 2012 at 1:54 am
Their one sale was a “70ies” dress. As in, “Seventy-ies”. Not “Seventies”, which one would write, logically, as 70s.
But “Seventy-ies”.
Seventy-ies.
Seventy-ies.
Seventy-ies.
I think I’ve discovered the Etsy hippie mantra.
Also, do you think she takes her own photos with a time-delay camera, or is there someone in her life who likes exotically-colored condoms and popped water balloons as much as she does?
March 29, 2012 at 6:48 pm
read it to fast and it sounds like 70 eyes….. don’t ask
March 27, 2012 at 5:24 am
Why, no, you absolutely don’t look like you’re covered in multicolored used condoms. Whatever gave you that idea?

Gala dinners are the worst. It is a #firstworldproblem of #firstworldproblems, but seriously, gala dinners are what parties would be like if fun were made illegal. Like you have your conversation and you still have to fight to keep it entertaining for the three hours you are going to be there like it’s the last conversation out of Saigon before it falls to the communists
but seriously, I want to go to a gala dinner where everyone wears this costume and makes funny poses.

I needed this costume when I was teaching my students Stop, Drop and Roll.
March 27, 2012 at 9:56 am
I’m so amused. Bless her.
March 27, 2012 at 10:16 am
I like it, for some reason.
I also feel like singing.
“They call me Heat Miser,
What ever I touch,
Starts to melt in my clutch,
I’m too much!”

I’m jealous. I was in the Campfire Girls and we never had cool shit like this. Hmph.
March 27, 2012 at 4:55 pm
“Can also be worn as a jacket, with legs tied around waist.”
This could be said of virtually anything made of fabric in excess of eighteen inches.
That doesn’t make it sane.
March 27, 2012 at 7:24 pm
This looks like something set itself on fire, had a glitter fight, pissed Kool-Aid upwards to put out the flames, and then posed very self-consciously. In other words, entertaining.
March 27, 2012 at 11:01 pm
1. Now I know what to wear for my niece’s baptism
2. I can also use this to dress up as firecrotch for halloween
3. I can take pictures of myself wearing this while making sexy poses and market it as firecrotch porn.
