I’m surprised there aren’t a few Midol’s or Advil’s hanging from that dangle. With all the damn pointy metal spikes shooting into that poor woman’s head, it would make a very practical design alteration.

Sorry… nursing school ate my brain and spat the above out. Pretty soon I might be nuts enough to wear a shithat and call myself a queen, too.
You fool, you’ve been duped by Queen Antonite’s nemesis, the evil Comte de Enutpen. Anyone gullible enough to wear that “crown” will be mocked throughout the Hegemony, right up until the instant they disappear into de Enutpen’s Singularity Vortex.
Besides, you can pick one up in any Space Bazaar for less than 15 Andromens, even on a bad light-cycle.
I’m a hippie burner and I WOULD never wear this (well, I might if I made it for FREE). I do need a bath though…broken water pipe, being fixed now, fingers crossed.
I love how this space queen wears a cut-up blue jean shirt. It’s good to know that, even in the galaxy of Neptonious Ensalle, they care about repurposing. Praise Queen Antonite!
Whoa! Too much responsibility for me. I was just looking for something to wear while I panhandle – I don’t have the energy to recite it’s dubious history to my clients. There’s a fine line between dollar bills and Bellevue.
Please forgive me. I am studying for midterms and my brain is gone. The first thing I thought was, “Bitch, you got blue hair! Who are you? Space Katy Perry?” The sad part is that I bet Lady Gaga or Katy Perry would wear this. Can someone do a “who wore it better”?
Maybe they can star together in their own anime or something. I mean, as I pointed out earlier, that description sounds like a pitch for a new anime series.
OH MY! That Witch Queen is cray-cray! 164.99? B/c the .99 helps the obscene asking price a little more palatable?! QA, at least could act as a lightning rod, WQ is just adding the stick part to make S’mores, she’s no help at all.
I’d have to vote for Queen Antonite. She would be great to have along on a road trip, ‘cuz that crown would be so handy to tie things back on the car that fall off, such as a muffler, rear-view mirror, etc.
Back in college my little Tv had a similar crown so we could get more than one channel. I would have hung on to it if I could have sold it now for 85 dollars.
The whole thing is ridiculous, but I must admit that I like the photograph. Something about the angles of it appeals to me. She looks like a statue depicting suffering (and yeah, you would suffer too if you had to wear that crown). But in a serious way, there’s something classical about the photo and pose.
Her earrings are not bad either, and they are sold in a different listing (“Sliced Agate Industrial Queen’s earings”). Everything but the crown is elaborate, and there is method to the weirdness. Wonder how this haphazard crown got in there – some stage play?
For me, it’s the pose, the angle and the COLOR. It’s a really great looking photo thanks to the limited palette and all that other stuff you said. Replace the wire dealie with a crown-of-thorns and wham!
What kind of shitty galaxy do you have if your crown jewels are a piece of bark, a busted light bulb and one of the chains that banks use so you don’t steal their pens.
There may have been times in my life that I was drunk enough to wear a lampshade but it was not a wire hanger a bits of a broken lamp and it did not cost $85. This is pure fuckery, nothing whimsycal about it.
Not only is it an asymmetrical denim patchwork vest with ruffles… but it is an asymmetrical denim and SWEATPANTS, up-cycled too I’m sure, patchwork vest with ruffles. Oh… yes… yes it is.
It looks like this was made by the rusty mattress people. They gathered up the bits that fell off and twisted them together with a bit of crap from the vacuum cleaner bag. That will be $85, thank you.
One of my sons came wandering through the room, stopped to look at this, and said “Do you think it works the same way as a satellite dish? It’d be worth it if we could not have to pay for cable.”
I think Antonite may have started out in life as Anthony. I’m not sure, but there are ambiguous indications. The crown doesn’t really decide it for me, as it looks equally wrong on both genders.
That is the worst piece of crap I’ve ever seen. Someone raided the garage and backyard, then hot glued it all on some old rusty hangers. I actually snorted with laughter when I saw this, but even a laugh isn’t worth $85.

85 bucks and no tin foil?!
How am I supposed to communicate with my galaxy?
Wait, *lightbulb*. Oh, it’s already broken, on my crown.
October 9, 2012 at 11:37 am
I thought for a moment the little dangle on the left was a pull switch to turn that bulb on.
October 9, 2012 at 12:01 pm
No, it’s to flush your money down the toilet.
October 9, 2012 at 1:14 pm

October 9, 2012 at 2:33 pm
But that does include however much of the model’s hair gets yanked out when she tries to remove this thing.
October 9, 2012 at 10:06 am
Talk about an abortion…

Looks like it took longer to do the model’s makeup and hairdo than to make the crown.
October 9, 2012 at 10:13 am
This reminds me – I need to schedule my tetanus booster…
October 9, 2012 at 10:15 am

Aaah…the official crown for Queen of the Playa.
(damn hippie burners, go take a bath)
October 9, 2012 at 11:59 am
I’m a hippie burner and I WOULD never wear this (well, I might if I made it for FREE). I do need a bath though…broken water pipe, being fixed now, fingers crossed.
October 9, 2012 at 12:02 pm
No idea why I capitalized WOULD….time for some herb…..

I second that emotion
(sadly, stuck at the office right now)
October 10, 2012 at 6:57 am
I also like the way your mind works fellow smokers, methinks I may go for some ‘erbage now!
Does this make me a ‘hippy burner’? If yes then all well and good!
October 10, 2012 at 2:07 pm
Cheers to “hippy burners” everywhere!

I believe there is reference being made to Burning Man. Where there is a LOT of things being burned on the Playa.

I think with some badger teeth, a glass eye, and an old bottle cap it would be perfect for the Bates High School Prom Queen.
October 9, 2012 at 11:46 am
Everything’s better with badger teeth!
October 9, 2012 at 10:59 am
Please forgive me. I am studying for midterms and my brain is gone. The first thing I thought was, “Bitch, you got blue hair! Who are you? Space Katy Perry?” The sad part is that I bet Lady Gaga or Katy Perry would wear this. Can someone do a “who wore it better”?
October 9, 2012 at 11:26 am
I immediately thought Katy Perry. It was the hair.
October 9, 2012 at 11:01 am
I love the model’s hair color.
What the hell is that crap glued to the “crown”. An empty squeeze tube? REALLY? O___O
October 9, 2012 at 11:29 am
It’s a broken halogen light tube, but same difference.
October 9, 2012 at 11:03 am
Sorry to post again, but there is a battle of the crowns:
http://www.regretsy.com/2011/07/11/tower-of-power/
Who would win? Queen Antonite or Witch Queen?
October 9, 2012 at 11:40 am
Oh good so we can all be pretty!
October 9, 2012 at 12:26 pm
Maybe they can star together in their own anime or something. I mean, as I pointed out earlier, that description sounds like a pitch for a new anime series.
October 9, 2012 at 3:18 pm
OH MY! That Witch Queen is cray-cray! 164.99? B/c the .99 helps the obscene asking price a little more palatable?! QA, at least could act as a lightning rod, WQ is just adding the stick part to make S’mores, she’s no help at all.
October 9, 2012 at 3:23 pm
Actually, I guess the stick part is more value added. Ok, WQ wins.
October 9, 2012 at 3:22 pm
I’d have to vote for Queen Antonite. She would be great to have along on a road trip, ‘cuz that crown would be so handy to tie things back on the car that fall off, such as a muffler, rear-view mirror, etc.
October 9, 2012 at 11:23 am
She makes pyramid guy look downright sane!
October 9, 2012 at 11:27 am
Etsy might as well be another planet. I’d say the description is accurate.
October 9, 2012 at 11:43 am

October 9, 2012 at 12:29 pm
Her earrings are not bad either, and they are sold in a different listing (“Sliced Agate Industrial Queen’s earings”). Everything but the crown is elaborate, and there is method to the weirdness. Wonder how this haphazard crown got in there – some stage play?
October 9, 2012 at 1:13 pm
This is not the only comment saying so. …And regretsy made this poor artist find his real vocation and everyone lived happily ever after.
October 9, 2012 at 10:54 pm
For me, it’s the pose, the angle and the COLOR. It’s a really great looking photo thanks to the limited palette and all that other stuff you said. Replace the wire dealie with a crown-of-thorns and wham!
October 9, 2012 at 12:17 pm
I see the model’s face and all I can think is ‘I am NEVER taking that bet while drunk again. NEVER.’
October 9, 2012 at 12:31 pm

October 9, 2012 at 2:23 pm
5 minutes to make the “crown”
2 hours to stage the photo
It’s all in the sell.

October 9, 2012 at 3:11 pm
I’d honestly like to take a minute to talk about the vest. Is that an asymmetrical denim patchwork vest with…ruffles? Jesus.
October 9, 2012 at 3:21 pm
Not only is it an asymmetrical denim patchwork vest with ruffles… but it is an asymmetrical denim and SWEATPANTS, up-cycled too I’m sure, patchwork vest with ruffles. Oh… yes… yes it is.

I’m not sure they should get together – could be some serious bedhead problems.
October 10, 2012 at 4:03 am
that is the exact image that came to mind when i first saw this picture, especially after the spring thing!
ps. why did they add a nail to the wall to hang their saddle bag, when they have plenty of hooks available on the spring thing?

This is kinda sorta steampunk, right… ?
October 10, 2012 at 4:04 am
I believe it’s only True Steampunk when it has either an owl, and octopus or a key on it.
October 10, 2012 at 8:04 am
An octopus and a few watch parts would improve it mightily.
