Thank you, m’ bumptious lady. *doffs hat* One endeavours to use it at any opportunity, whether said opportunity is actually present or not. Ditto ‘bumptious’.
I’m not sure how ‘edgy’ applies at all. Seems to me she’s gone to every length to avoid any possible edges. When I think “edgy”, I usually don’t associate it with “child-friendly”.
I like the contrast between the Mumphs, which project light-heartedness and gaity, and the model’s eyes, which are screaming “Are you fucking kidding me?”

I’m confused as to why she doesn’t use the word “fascinator”. Not obscure enough? Mostly I’m upset because I just learned what that meant last year and am always looking for ways to use it in a sentence.
Because it’s more frightening than fascinating, mayhap? Frightening in that disconcerting way, where you’re afraid that if you lock eyes with that unblinking gaze for too long she’ll know she’s caught you and start to slowly swivel her head around upon her neck. And you
Well, maybe you can help me sell my great-grandmother’s ELBOW PROTECTORS! Made for Civil War veterans. Like carefully sewn cotton rag doughnuts. My cousin and I are at a loss . . .
The first thing I thought of was that she was trying for the Hellephant look, but then I realized she would have only needed to hang a piece of yarn on the one side for that to work. Well, that and wire the model’s mouth into a smile shape.
I dunno, but I agree with HK that the “Mary Ann” look with ponytails pulled down fails the Mumfps whereas showcasing this with Fergie’s brass knuckle earrings kinda helps the Mumpfs to make a statement.
Albeit the statement is:
You wanna pillow fight, Biatch?

Fur and baby bedding material as a fashion combo? It’s funny if you look through all of the pictures on the side…the more you look through them, the more spectacularly ugly and weird this thing looks.

She only moved her lip to avoid having it cropped off. Regarding thr definition of “edgy” (edg·y /ˈejē/ Adjective: Tense, nervous, or irritable.)

What the FUCKING HELL is this?! In order even to call them by name I’d have to be speaking through a massive yeast infection. These things are SICKENING. I HATE THESE THINGS.

April 29, 2012 at 4:32 pm
Not sure if I’m more appalled by the head gear or the coat
April 29, 2012 at 5:21 pm
Crazy cushion headband. Childish low piggytails. Vacant-eyed gaze.

Oh bravo, bravo. I was waiting for “the intractably mentally ill” to make its appearance on these pages. Well played madam.

April 30, 2012 at 8:32 am
I honestly didn’t even see the coat until reading your comment. I just thought it was lots of scary hair.
April 30, 2012 at 10:27 am
Don’t match your hair to your coat! At least, don’t match both the color and texture of your hair to your coat.
April 30, 2012 at 4:48 pm
It appears to have been made out of upcycled baby bumpers.
Also, it has ruffles, buttons and old flowers, so it’s steampunk.
April 29, 2012 at 4:33 pm
Oooh. Pincushions. Edgy.
April 29, 2012 at 4:33 pm
edg·y /ˈejē/ Adjective: Tense, nervous, or irritable.
I assume this is the definition of “edgy” intended by the seller.
April 29, 2012 at 5:02 pm
I’m not sure how ‘edgy’ applies at all. Seems to me she’s gone to every length to avoid any possible edges. When I think “edgy”, I usually don’t associate it with “child-friendly”.
April 29, 2012 at 5:20 pm
I think that’s the spot on definition we are looking for of the word. well chosen vocabulary is so very important.
April 29, 2012 at 4:35 pm
My only question is which one of you FJL’s bought the things and where are my pictures?
April 29, 2012 at 4:35 pm
When your own model is wearing *that* expression… that’s not a good sign.
April 29, 2012 at 4:37 pm
Interestingly she got one negative in her shop, BUT NOT FOR THESE!!!
April 29, 2012 at 4:37 pm
Yeah, I want to know who bought those things. I wouldn’t even let my 6 year wear them.
April 29, 2012 at 4:38 pm
If by “edgy” you mean “on the edge of sanity,” I’m guessing.
April 29, 2012 at 4:39 pm
I like the contrast between the Mumphs, which project light-heartedness and gaity, and the model’s eyes, which are screaming “Are you fucking kidding me?”
April 29, 2012 at 4:41 pm
Too bad these are sold…they would be perfect for the new wedding registry.
April 29, 2012 at 4:46 pm
From the look on the model’s face, I think there is a stray pin in there somewhere.

Oh, absolutely not.
April 29, 2012 at 4:56 pm
How did I miss this last year? And here I’ve been, trying to come up with a way to keep all my different kinds of pins separated in the sewing room.
April 29, 2012 at 5:04 pm
My only thought was “I never noticed Fergie had so many ear piercings before”.
I’m too jaded to be phased by the mumpfs :c

It’s a frightenator.

A frightenator! Yes! A fucking great frightenator.
April 29, 2012 at 5:14 pm
Oh boy. I can see how my suggestion to feature the bacon scented mother’s day soap would fail/pale next to this.
I’m sorry. Next time I’ll try much harder. But probably not this hard.
April 29, 2012 at 5:16 pm
Maybe your product shouldn’t sound like a sickness.
April 29, 2012 at 5:53 pm
Now I can’t get “She has a bad case of the Mumpfs” out of my head….
April 29, 2012 at 5:20 pm
They look like Strawberry Shortcake’s maxi pads.

For some reason it makes me think “Katamari.”

Also perfect for that edgy girl during that upholstered to wooden headboard transition…

April 29, 2012 at 6:59 pm
If I remember, you are correct. Goofy’s ears are not really similar to these. They’re likely the product of one of Dumbo and Rabbit’s drunken trysts.
April 29, 2012 at 9:08 pm
Three or four items a day, five days a week, they can’t all be velvet paintings of the Duchess of Cambridge flogging Prince Harry.

It seems like something old guys who dress up in diapers and baby clothes might like to wear.
April 29, 2012 at 7:15 pm
…so THIS is what Fergie did with all that junk.
(All that junk inside her trunk.)
April 29, 2012 at 7:24 pm
I suppose it’s handy to wear Potholders if you bake a lot and can’t be bothered trying to look for them on the counter.
April 29, 2012 at 7:32 pm
Forget throw pillows for the bed, Mumpfs is throw pillows for your HEAD!
Equally as useless, only you can wear it in public and make people stare at you like you are a crazy homeless person…
April 30, 2012 at 3:40 pm
“Forget throw pillows for the bed, Mumpfs is throw pillows for your HEAD!”
I guarantee I will think of this comment at inappropriate moments and laugh. Will keep you updated.

Skip that, she’s sold some even crazier headpieces
April 29, 2012 at 11:51 pm
Because a missing tooth is so attractive.
April 30, 2012 at 9:11 am
Lost headshots for the “Clockwork Orange” auditions…even too strange for Kubrick.

Am I the only one that thinks Fergie actually makes the potholder headband look good?
April 29, 2012 at 9:07 pm
What in the fluffy hell is wrong with these people?!
My brain hurts. Need more vodka.

April 29, 2012 at 11:55 pm
Well, this explains it! She was raised by wild gimaces! At least we can be sure she actually makes this stuff herself.
April 30, 2012 at 12:28 am
al-righty then….
April 29, 2012 at 11:55 pm
They look like they’re made from shoulder pads that have been cut out of blouses. I always throw them away. Damn, I could have made money off them.

…yeah, the giant fluffy amoeba infestation look is better on Fergie.
April 30, 2012 at 10:18 am
I like Fergie’s brass knuckle earrings.
April 30, 2012 at 12:10 pm
Yeah, because nothing says “edgy” like pastel colors and…what the Hell are those? Flowers? Strangely colored fruit?
