I bet that this will be sold in the next month. I know people, people who are very high all the time, that would enjoy this framed above the mantle of the oven in their travel trailer.
Probably strangely considering the subject matter, my first question was ‘Why is she wiping her nose on the guitar?’ followed by a scroll down and my second thought. ‘Oh. Perhaps it’s not a she’.
In the same position, my left boob would be trying to smother that monkey-boy tattoo on my bicep. Huh. There’s another phrase that will only exist on the internet: “monkey-boy tattoo on my bicep.”
Saw your post further down…now that I look at the tat, it really DOES look like HK, but because I had tried hard not to focus on any details, I didn’t notice it. I gave you a thumbs up.
What’s up with these painters who’ve mastered the use of color, line, shading, etc, but can’t figure out where to stick a dick correctly? It’s like watching an aspiring singer who belts out songs like Jennifer Hudson, but can’t sing a damn note in tune. Congrats, Etsy – you’re the American Idol of bad art.
Beard and breast notwithstanding, what happened to the last 1/4 of the painting? It had a strong start, and then the right (his/her left) kind of turned into an alien hand, and he/she seems to have a serious hip problem. Probably ought to see a doctor about that.
I’ve hear of “blue balls” but need to do an internet search on “purple penis head”. But then it would probably result in a virus! DAMN! I solved the mystery without Google!
I’ve come to the conclusion that absolutely no one on etsy can draw decent pecs. Stop with the boobies on the menfolk! Or at least put in the description they’re supposed to be boobies.
I don’t think a guitarist could properly hold and play a guitar with a stiffy that big. My theory is there’s a coke bullet attached to the neck he’s trying to get a hit off of.

The modern guitar is actually derived from the harp and was intended to be played upright and outfacing with the base resting between the musicians knees. If you look at some of the old acoustic guitars, it’s much easier to envision. When bands and stage performances became popular, it gradually became adapted to be played as we know it to be today.
/end serious nerd pickle face
…also, as a (mediocre) guitarist, I’m having the hardest time imagining that anyone could possibly be that aroused by a ‘Dean’ guitar.
I KNEW LINDSAY LOHAN WAS A DUDE. IT’S ALL SO OBVIOUS NOW. The drinking? The bad choice in friends? The meth? ALL CRIES FOR HELP FROM A TORMENTED YOUNG MAN. Come on out, Lindsay. We’re here for you, and we accept your purple dick and fire crotch.
I still remember the two “best” phrases we were supposed to translate in H.S. Spanish class: “What caused the explosion?” and “He watched while she drowned.” I think the textbook people were having a bad day.
I think the tattoos are nicely rendered. Really, I do.
So I’m just going to admire them, rather than look at the way his scary Barbie-colored peen is sprouting out of his upper thigh. Because looking at that just gives me the queasy shudders.
Unfortunately, I stopped and backtracked when I saw “queasy shoulders” on nothing stronger than coffee. Apparently, this painting is something that causes even shoulders to dry heave.
If I didn’t have a wise cracking 4 year old, with the penchant for repeating all she sees and hears, walking around this thing would be hanging in my kitchen. Kudos for being awesome.
I’m envious. All I could do on Etsy is slog along with the rest of the hopelessly mediocre who will never see their work either purchased by people with actual taste or featured on the rarefied heights of this site. But you–you have accomplished something. Be proud! Regretsy infamy does not come to the faint-hearted!
Hey, I just logged in to tell you I really love some of your paintings, especially ‘Kate’s Two Loves’, ‘Southern Gotham’ and ‘Edgar & Allan’. You use color really well and there’s this mix of pulp, deco and psychedelia which is really cool.
Also, even with the gynecomastia I would still hit it.
Hmmmmm, there is a scene in Kurt Vonnegut’s Slaughter House 5 that describes the main character’s discovery of his son playing a pink guitar in the bathroom. However, I don’t remember anything about fondling knobs in the narrative.
I’m sure that this a very literate piece. Totally sure.
Why are the subjects of these types of paintings always in outer space? Do stoners hate painting backgrounds? Or did the brownies kick in after they were done painting the translazerguitardudechickthing?
I love a good dangling modifier. I actually looked at the picture good and hard (heh) trying to figure out how that boner was sniffing the guitar neck.
You know, I’ve always painted bodies in disproprtion. I don’t know why, but sometimes I like it and sometimes I don’t. My strength is in my colors, I think. Anyway, this is a portrait of some dude I met on Craigslist. I meant it to be serious at first, but then said ‘fuckit’ and turned him into a trannie. Because I love trannies.
I appreciate a technical breakdown of the materials used as much as the next person, but I really think your work would sell better with a bit of a backstory. I know, it’s what Etsy advises and your instinct is tell Etsy to fuck off, but if this comment is any indication of the kind of stories you can tell about your work, I think you’re sitting on a gold mine. Because now that I know it’s some “dude [you] met on Craigslist”, it’s totally going in my to-be-purchased-when-I-have-extra-money list.
Hah! You really think so? I have all kinds of embarrassing stories about this piece in particular. Embarrassing to other people, not me. Obviously I have no shame.
Just in case, I checked out your Etsy store again, and look, you’ve updated your item description. Personally, I think “Dirty Magic” would also make an excellent title.
Oh, hell. This is going to take forever since pretty much every piece has a story, BUT I get bored at work a lot, SO I may just revamp all my descriptions in the coming days. Thanx for the valuable feedback! Normally I just trudge along in Etsyland never expecting to get much attention there, as do most, unless they are resellers.
FWIW, the people I know who are transsexual find the word “tranny” demeaning. Not trying to be the word police or anything, but sometimes people use words they don’t know are hurtful right up until they find out that they are, ’cause it wasn’t intended that way….
You really do have a much higher level of artistry and technical skill than we’re used to seeing here. I suppose the debate over relative personal appeal is a side effect of unusual art.
Thank you, halcat and Flouncerrific, for your kind comments.
To be honest, this is one of my oldest paintings. I’d like to think I got better since then, even though I am proud of all my work. Some of it does make me wince, but everything I’ve done shows me how far I’ve come, artistically and personally.
As a shemale, I am inclined to think this is supposed to be one too. I mean, the 80′s had hair bands, but Steven Tyler never had boobs. (Or the snout.)
There’s a building near my office that is always decorated with a giant movie poster–at least 20 stories high. It had Rock of Ages for a few weeks. This afternoon I noticed that half of it had already been whitewashed out. Buh-bye Tom Cruise!
When I scrolled down, I was seriously expecting the ding-dong to be covered by the guitar… I should have known better, I mean, this is Regretsy.
But seriously, that penis looks really low to me for some reason… the again, considering I can’t remember the last time I even seen a guy naked, I wouldn’t know…
“It was one of a kind Agatha never been seen in museums or galleries. She turned the picture face, trying to deduce the position of the model had been.
It is understood he was trying to deduce the position of the artist was. Very confusing to work.
Not technically a very fine, but he had to admit that it was something big. Or at least more than she had ever seen.
And a new image, similar to, but a new type.
42 files with the same subject, in various configurations, but the same man. Sure, there were a couple of pictures, which had nothing to what she would have known that it was the same man, but man am certain of it.”
“We always stay up late at night
Up in my bedroom
Soemtimes we get carried away
Banging the wall, banging the floor
Burning both ends of the midnight oil…”
//can’t believe no one’s whipped out the Jump Little Children song perfect for this yet…
NO WAY. Turns out this painting is HUGE in real life. I know this because it was done by a roommate of a good friend. Based on someone she met on craigslist. I feel so close to hideous greatness! YAY!
June 19, 2012 at 1:31 pm
and in a STIFF mailer too……
June 19, 2012 at 1:32 pm
Oh you beat me.

June 20, 2012 at 7:28 am
I’m so glad it comes with protection.
June 19, 2012 at 1:31 pm
With 1 boob even.
June 19, 2012 at 1:40 pm
Are you talking about the artist?
June 19, 2012 at 3:32 pm
a uniboob!
Is it just me, or is this um…person… in the painting rather oddly attached?
June 19, 2012 at 4:32 pm
I was thinking the same thing.
1. That is totally a boob.
2. His wang looks like it’s a late addition by a myopic surgeon.
June 19, 2012 at 9:17 pm
I know I’m supposed to be looking at his wang, but all I can see is the BOOB.
June 19, 2012 at 11:42 pm
Artist paints chick playing guitar.
Boyfriend says, “Looks like a dude.”
Paint flies.
Artist says, “It IS a dude.”
They have sex again.
June 19, 2012 at 1:32 pm
I bet that this will be sold in the next month. I know people, people who are very high all the time, that would enjoy this framed above the mantle of the oven in their travel trailer.
June 19, 2012 at 2:53 pm
Hmm… I think this boob drawing boob may have given me a hint on solving my money troubles actually. XD
June 19, 2012 at 6:04 pm
I actually kind of want to buy this for my old roommate- a ginger metal-riffing guitar player dude. I wonder if he’d actually hang it up.
June 19, 2012 at 1:33 pm
Probably strangely considering the subject matter, my first question was ‘Why is she wiping her nose on the guitar?’ followed by a scroll down and my second thought. ‘Oh. Perhaps it’s not a she’.
June 19, 2012 at 2:36 pm
“a shim?”
June 19, 2012 at 9:51 pm
Of course, should have known – it’s Shim Morrison.
June 19, 2012 at 4:01 pm
This is actually of a poster promoting the off-Broadway show, The Crying Game: A Musical
June 19, 2012 at 7:24 pm
All I could think was MtF pre-op. Because that is definitely a boob AND a boner.
June 19, 2012 at 1:34 pm
His boobs are better than mine at least…
June 19, 2012 at 2:46 pm
In the same position, my left boob would be trying to smother that monkey-boy tattoo on my bicep. Huh. There’s another phrase that will only exist on the internet: “monkey-boy tattoo on my bicep.”
June 19, 2012 at 2:54 pm
Saw your post further down…now that I look at the tat, it really DOES look like HK, but because I had tried hard not to focus on any details, I didn’t notice it. I gave you a thumbs up.
June 19, 2012 at 1:34 pm
It looks the artist clearly painted a woman and then as an afterthought, stuck a bone on there. At least the drapes match the carpet.
June 19, 2012 at 1:36 pm
It looks like a game of Pin the Wang on the Rocker…
June 19, 2012 at 1:37 pm
And stuck it on her leg for some reason.
June 19, 2012 at 1:47 pm
I noticed that too – the wang is clearly sprouting out of his/her upper thigh.
Or maybe it’s just a really bad hernia.
June 19, 2012 at 2:36 pm
I’ve known people with double hernias…not sure if I’m sorry this isn’t one of them.
June 19, 2012 at 4:15 pm
What’s up with these painters who’ve mastered the use of color, line, shading, etc, but can’t figure out where to stick a dick correctly? It’s like watching an aspiring singer who belts out songs like Jennifer Hudson, but can’t sing a damn note in tune. Congrats, Etsy – you’re the American Idol of bad art.
June 19, 2012 at 6:05 pm
it’s fear.
they fear the weenis.

yes! its the attention to detail like that that makes this rise to the next level. But there is something else that I just cant put my finger on…
June 19, 2012 at 5:52 pm
I’m not sure I *want* to put my finger on it.
June 19, 2012 at 1:36 pm
Beard and breast notwithstanding, what happened to the last 1/4 of the painting? It had a strong start, and then the right (his/her left) kind of turned into an alien hand, and he/she seems to have a serious hip problem. Probably ought to see a doctor about that.
June 19, 2012 at 2:52 pm
It’s actually a portrait of a rocker shortly after being run over by a steamroller.
Only possible explanation.
June 19, 2012 at 11:53 pm
The secret’s out: it’s a blind collaborative piece. As in, both artists were blind to each other’s work, which resulted in a surprise ending.
June 21, 2012 at 1:01 am
I’m pretty sure that’s a Happy Ending…
At $20 for that thing, there should be.
June 19, 2012 at 1:36 pm
Is it sad that I’m just glad it’s only $20 instead of $200. For $20, this would make an excellent prank gift if nothing else.
June 19, 2012 at 2:36 pm
The print is only $20. If you want the actual painting, prepare to shell out $500.
June 19, 2012 at 1:36 pm
Why is his/her penis growing out of his/her inner thigh? I am concerned.
June 19, 2012 at 1:37 pm
I am more concerned by the color of the penis head.
June 19, 2012 at 1:55 pm
I’ve hear of “blue balls” but need to do an internet search on “purple penis head”. But then it would probably result in a virus! DAMN! I solved the mystery without Google!
June 19, 2012 at 2:20 pm
You’ve never heard of Team Purple Helmet? They were my husband’s intramural football team in college.
June 20, 2012 at 7:02 am
Purple people penis eater? Heh, bet Rob Zombie never sang about that.
June 19, 2012 at 2:54 pm
The color just shows that it’s infused with the power of RAWWWWK!
June 19, 2012 at 1:37 pm
Yeah it’s far too low! Couldn’t figure out what was wrong with it…
June 19, 2012 at 2:42 pm
This is one of the breast paintings I’ve seen from this artist
June 19, 2012 at 1:36 pm
Clearly commissioned by Dave Mustaine.
June 19, 2012 at 2:26 pm
That explains SO much!
June 19, 2012 at 2:55 pm
Dave Mustaine enjoys paintings of rockers who have been crushed by steamrollers?
June 19, 2012 at 3:46 pm
This is what Dave Mustaine did shortly after he punched James Hatfield. I know this because the idea of punching James Hatfield gives me a boner.
June 19, 2012 at 1:37 pm
I’ve come to the conclusion that absolutely no one on etsy can draw decent pecs. Stop with the boobies on the menfolk! Or at least put in the description they’re supposed to be boobies.

Is he playing the guitar backwards? That’s what’s really bugging me.
Is he even playing the guitar at all?
June 19, 2012 at 3:18 pm
No, he’s not “playing” guitar at all, he’s molesting it.
June 19, 2012 at 5:07 pm
I don’t think a guitarist could properly hold and play a guitar with a stiffy that big. My theory is there’s a coke bullet attached to the neck he’s trying to get a hit off of.
June 19, 2012 at 9:56 pm
With that stiffy he should be playing the guitar like a violin.
June 20, 2012 at 5:15 am
Or a cello.

The modern guitar is actually derived from the harp and was intended to be played upright and outfacing with the base resting between the musicians knees. If you look at some of the old acoustic guitars, it’s much easier to envision. When bands and stage performances became popular, it gradually became adapted to be played as we know it to be today.

I think the tattoos are nicely rendered. Really, I do.
So I’m just going to admire them, rather than look at the way his scary Barbie-colored peen is sprouting out of his upper thigh. Because looking at that just gives me the queasy shudders.

Yeah, but why a tattoo of Joyce DeWitt?

Ahhhh….the most unsung member of the “Three’s Company” cast…Awesome tattoo choice! I have one of Bea Arthur.
June 19, 2012 at 2:40 pm
I read “that gives me the queasy shoulders,” and that gave me pause.
June 19, 2012 at 2:48 pm
Wow. I read shoulders, too. Bifocal time? No…more rum.
July 2, 2012 at 3:11 pm
Unfortunately, I stopped and backtracked when I saw “queasy shoulders” on nothing stronger than coffee. Apparently, this painting is something that causes even shoulders to dry heave.

one half of the chest has a white boob the other half is black and boobless. its like a kfc bucket of mystery MEAT. hurk hurk.
June 19, 2012 at 1:58 pm
Isn’t the guitar a little small? Or is it because other objects look larger than actual size?
June 19, 2012 at 1:58 pm
Is it just me or is the base of his penis located on the inside top of his right leg? Awkward.

June 19, 2012 at 2:53 pm
I think he/she is sniffing in the essence of Mr. Hankey, who is making a cameo up by the 5th fret.
That explains the flared nostrils.
June 19, 2012 at 2:01 pm
You know, I’ve always painted bodies in disproprtion. I don’t know why, but sometimes I like it and sometimes I don’t. My strength is in my colors, I think.

LovelyOrangina is absolutely right!
June 19, 2012 at 5:59 pm
I AM right. Do it and report back. I can’t wait to hear about Mermaid Sushi II.

Just in case, I checked out your Etsy store again, and look, you’ve updated your item description. Personally, I think “Dirty Magic” would also make an excellent title.

Oh, hell. This is going to take forever since pretty much every piece has a story, BUT I get bored at work a lot, SO I may just revamp all my descriptions in the coming days. Thanx for the valuable feedback! Normally I just trudge along in Etsyland never expecting to get much attention there, as do most, unless they are resellers.

FWIW, the people I know who are transsexual find the word “tranny” demeaning. Not trying to be the word police or anything, but sometimes people use words they don’t know are hurtful right up until they find out that they are, ’cause it wasn’t intended that way….
June 19, 2012 at 4:54 pm
I apologize for my offensive faux pas.
June 20, 2012 at 8:27 am
…although it is funny to split hairs on offending words on a website dedicated to making fun of people…
June 20, 2012 at 12:12 pm
Ah, now that reminds me of an old saying: “A gentlemen never gives unintentional offense.” It’s the UNINTENTIONAL part that’s the key here.
June 19, 2012 at 3:20 pm
Your use of color, sense of humor, rendering of tattoos…and cock…all very strong assets!
June 19, 2012 at 3:53 pm
I appreciate it! Especially if you’re not being sarcastic.
June 19, 2012 at 4:26 pm
You really do have a much higher level of artistry and technical skill than we’re used to seeing here. I suppose the debate over relative personal appeal is a side effect of unusual art.
June 20, 2012 at 12:44 am
I just checked out your blog and saw your other work – some very nice stuff. I especially liked some of your acrylics. Violet Violet was my fav.
June 19, 2012 at 4:00 pm
Your New Orleans Pride watercolor is gorgeous. I kind of adore a lot of your stuff.
June 19, 2012 at 5:00 pm
Thank you, halcat and Flouncerrific, for your kind comments.
To be honest, this is one of my oldest paintings. I’d like to think I got better since then, even though I am proud of all my work. Some of it does make me wince, but everything I’ve done shows me how far I’ve come, artistically and personally.
June 19, 2012 at 10:40 pm
Although most of your art is what’s impolitely termed “not my style,” I love Storm Chaser!
June 20, 2012 at 6:17 am
Snargasm, that’s what my dad says, too.
June 19, 2012 at 5:12 pm
That explains a LOT! Thanks!
June 19, 2012 at 2:02 pm
Do I dare ask how the dude’s nostril got stretched out so wide?
June 19, 2012 at 2:30 pm
You’ve never nose-fucked?
June 19, 2012 at 2:58 pm
Pffttt! Kids these days think they invented sex, but what do they know? They NOSE nothing, is what!
June 19, 2012 at 10:41 pm
Nostril sex is my favorite, beats anal and aural hands down.
June 20, 2012 at 4:53 am
It really depends on my mood and/or horoscope that day.

“Once you go black, you go deaf”?
June 19, 2012 at 2:04 pm
As a shemale, I am inclined to think this is supposed to be one too. I mean, the 80′s had hair bands, but Steven Tyler never had boobs. (Or the snout.)
Now, David Bowie, on the other hand…
Dammit. Now I miss the 80′s, and feel old.
June 19, 2012 at 2:06 pm
My 80′s Cheerilee pic didn’t make it through so I’ll try once more:
June 19, 2012 at 2:10 pm
Huh. That’s weird. Regretsy’s forum is stripping my img tags. Does that mean they can’t be hotlinked, or am I doing something dumb*?
( * = …er than normal)
June 19, 2012 at 2:20 pm
What’s strange is that the img tags aren’t in the list below the text field. Maybe it’s a wordpress hiccup.
June 19, 2012 at 2:57 pm
It’s not just me?
The flounce shindig is called off.
Or renamed.
Whatevs.
June 19, 2012 at 3:59 pm
Nope. But my last comment was a reply and it ended up with it’s own number.
June 20, 2012 at 8:56 am
Maybe it’s not so ironic then that David Bowie was my very first masturbatory idol (thank you, “Labyrinth”!).
June 19, 2012 at 2:04 pm
That boner looks like an afterthought. Or like the stapon harness was painted out.
June 19, 2012 at 3:40 pm
And the whole works is rolling down his/her leg on its own little wheels.
That explains it!
June 19, 2012 at 2:05 pm
strapon
derp derp derp
June 19, 2012 at 2:05 pm
Damnit!
June 19, 2012 at 2:10 pm
I’m guessing you have the same image issue…?
June 19, 2012 at 2:51 pm
Two. I have no idea why it isn’t working. They showed up in preview. I can’t see them on FF or Chrome. Can you all see the boners?

Let’s try this
June 19, 2012 at 2:56 pm
I GIVE UP
REGRETSY HAS DEFEATED ME
Flounce party at 8:30; BYOB but I’ll have some killer canapes. And a llama to serve.
June 19, 2012 at 3:00 pm
First, what do you have against clockwise?
Second, when the member has dismembered, what’s left looks like a wall socket…waiting for a really big plug.
June 19, 2012 at 7:07 pm
Yup.
June 19, 2012 at 5:36 pm
I saw it move! Let the unseeing begin.
June 23, 2012 at 10:19 pm
Ha HAAAAAAA!!! My favorite is the one that flies off! Great job!
June 19, 2012 at 2:14 pm
This painting could use a lot Les Paul in it.
June 19, 2012 at 4:18 pm
And a lot less peter.
June 19, 2012 at 2:15 pm
Mucilage, doll. They fall off in a month…?
June 19, 2012 at 2:35 pm
He/she seems to be adjusting the size of the smell.
June 19, 2012 at 2:36 pm
I thought at first this was a rejected movie poster for Rock of Ages..
June 19, 2012 at 3:02 pm
There’s a building near my office that is always decorated with a giant movie poster–at least 20 stories high. It had Rock of Ages for a few weeks. This afternoon I noticed that half of it had already been whitewashed out. Buh-bye Tom Cruise!
June 19, 2012 at 2:40 pm
June 19, 2012 at 2:41 pm
argh
June 19, 2012 at 2:46 pm
Oviously having technical difficulties
June 19, 2012 at 5:42 pm
We love you anyway. If Lemon_bombs can’t do it, it’s officially fucked!
June 19, 2012 at 3:11 pm
Kissed by fire…lucky. And the rug matches the curtains, a true red maiden.
June 19, 2012 at 3:13 pm
Is it weird the first thing I noticed was its gigantic eyebrow?
June 19, 2012 at 5:17 pm
Yes.
June 19, 2012 at 3:19 pm
When I scrolled down, I was seriously expecting the ding-dong to be covered by the guitar… I should have known better, I mean, this is Regretsy.
But seriously, that penis looks really low to me for some reason… the again, considering I can’t remember the last time I even seen a guy naked, I wouldn’t know…
June 19, 2012 at 3:21 pm
Anyways, he he should get that purple head on his penis checked out… That doesn’t look natural at all…
June 20, 2012 at 12:11 am
I believe it was used to “paint” the guitar.
June 19, 2012 at 3:46 pm
More like GENDER Bender….
June 19, 2012 at 3:57 pm
Why is it coming off their leg?
June 19, 2012 at 5:18 pm
Because it can.
June 19, 2012 at 4:17 pm
This reminds me of one point, my writing. short story
June 20, 2012 at 4:14 am
“It was one of a kind Agatha never been seen in museums or galleries. She turned the picture face, trying to deduce the position of the model had been.
It is understood he was trying to deduce the position of the artist was. Very confusing to work.
Not technically a very fine, but he had to admit that it was something big. Or at least more than she had ever seen.
And a new image, similar to, but a new type.
42 files with the same subject, in various configurations, but the same man. Sure, there were a couple of pictures, which had nothing to what she would have known that it was the same man, but man am certain of it.”
Quote from my short story “Tourist of Bragalone”
June 19, 2012 at 5:02 pm
That guitar’s got a Helluva sustain.
June 19, 2012 at 5:53 pm
“‘Cause I love my guitar
I love my guitar…
“We always stay up late at night
Up in my bedroom
Soemtimes we get carried away
Banging the wall, banging the floor
Burning both ends of the midnight oil…”
//can’t believe no one’s whipped out the Jump Little Children song perfect for this yet…
June 19, 2012 at 7:10 pm
I have an unexpected craving for a churro dipped in grape jelly and I’m not even pregnant.
June 19, 2012 at 8:16 pm
I have my fingers crossed for friday to come, my brother has been complaining that I haven’t gotten him his birthday present. Happy birthday!!!!
June 19, 2012 at 8:18 pm
Hell I’m going to get two, I have a friend I’d like to scar.
June 19, 2012 at 9:59 pm
Why is his dick coming out of his thigh?
June 19, 2012 at 10:43 pm
How can Guitar Hero’s penis possibly compete with that meticulously-stippled starry night?
June 19, 2012 at 10:46 pm
‘It will be shipped in a bubble wrapped stiff mailer for protection. ‘
June 20, 2012 at 1:51 am
Oh thank goodness. A day without penises on Regretsy is like a day without vodka.
June 20, 2012 at 6:53 am
Sir, I request that you NOT rock out with your cock out.
June 20, 2012 at 7:20 am
Etsy’s rendition of Vintage Vera Wang.
June 20, 2012 at 8:58 am
Ah heck, I misread that as FASSbender NSFW and got all excited.
June 22, 2012 at 1:02 am
Do I have to cover myself with ancient alien writing for Fassbender to poke at my squishy bits?
June 21, 2012 at 8:41 pm
NO WAY. Turns out this painting is HUGE in real life. I know this because it was done by a roommate of a good friend. Based on someone she met on craigslist. I feel so close to hideous greatness! YAY!
June 22, 2012 at 7:28 am
I’m such a size queen, right? Hahah! I’m not sure who you are, but hello! <3
June 26, 2012 at 11:06 pm
haha wtf why!
