You are not wrong. I believe she’s not just a regular around here, but she’s in the original book. (I’m too lazy to go look it up, but I’m pretty sure that’s right.)
I was starting to hate humanity, till I reached the part in the description where she speaks about someone I know (don’t ask). Then I was reminded that I already hate humanity, of course.
Pull the strong and it says one of 4 fun saying!
-”Somebody pass me the FUCKING MIDOL!”
-”Chocolate, where is the Goddamn chocolate?”
-”*various expletives*”
-”*10 minutes of intermittent crying*”
Actually, it was a wax head of Lucille Ball playing the role of the key grip in the musical version of “The Dark Knight” which featured a flashback where Bela Lugosi’s favorite sock puppet recalled a dream ballet with KEVIN BACON as a tampon!
I’m not at all offended that Cappy would make something like this, but I’m mildly unnerved that someone might buy it…for non-ironic reasons. (Hopefully her description will alienate those prospects.)
The variety in her shop is so weird, I love it. She’s got “Period at the Beach” painting(a woman getting her period at the beach, surrounded by sharks), and a pendant made with a stamp of George Washington Carver. Who does that? Just plain awesome.
You are not alone Bacon Fairy. I’ve always wondered if sublimated desire might be leading some women to be more cranky given how many people refuse to have sex on their period because “OMG blood gross!” or “It could ruin the sheets!”
Maybe it’s because I am too old but I always thought periods were one of those things everyone is aware of but no one discusses let alone make crafts out of. You know kind of like diarrhea?
I’m really offended that everyone is discussing diarrhea as if it’s something gross and to be ashamed of. It’s one of Mother Nature’s GIFTS to us. It’s a reminder of our daily rhythms of eating and pooping, and how modern life has utterly destroyed our mystickal connections to our gastrointestinal tracts.
I am currently writing meditative songs for melodica and kazoo, which I will be marketing on my new Etsy shop, along with paintings in earth tones (mostly brown, some green) with which we can all meditate when we are having diarrhea. One focuses on one’s navel, or on a mirror strategically placed to look up one’s butt, and chants “Eru, eru, my tender assflower, release your pain into the bowl of triumph”.
Then one sends me $30 lest I charge you with poor pooping skills.
Diarrhea is simply Gaia’s way of saying “recycle faster, human scum!” Shit well, my friends.
I was into Urinary Tract Infection jokes until I went on Macrobid for 7 days, increased my water and cranberry intake and tried to cut down on sugars and other…..wait….ummm….where am I????
I don’t know, but doesn’t anyone find the blood around the doll’s “neck” a bit squickish? It looks like it is all clotted and coagulated for extra gore factor.
I think Crochet Guevara should gather up all of the bloody wombyn bullshit and do a bloody, tampon, menstruation, “view it in a room”! A period room perfect for any girl. (who will spend the rest of her life blaming her parents for this curse!)
I wish I’d had this when I was still married. My ex never did seem to be able to figure out when I was on the rag. If I’d just had this to leave on his pillow, he wouldn’t have ended up with his feelings hurt (though I doubt his feelings hurt as much as my cramps).
November 11, 2012 at 10:02 am
I love the description. This so easily could’ve been made by someone she’s describing.
November 12, 2012 at 3:00 pm
Hell, from that description I figured she was one of us.
November 15, 2012 at 8:52 pm
“one of us, one of us…”
November 11, 2012 at 10:02 am
Oh, CappySue, how we love thee.
November 11, 2012 at 10:04 am
Beat me to it!
November 11, 2012 at 10:05 am
Just a minute, is the artist’s name familiar around here or am I wrong?
November 11, 2012 at 10:10 am
You are not wrong. I believe she’s not just a regular around here, but she’s in the original book. (I’m too lazy to go look it up, but I’m pretty sure that’s right.)
November 11, 2012 at 10:10 am
I remember CappySue posting here before.
November 11, 2012 at 11:44 am
Yep, CappySue is one of the originals, in the book and around here. I just knew an FJL had to have created that -er- unique item!
November 11, 2012 at 12:42 pm
Cappy Sue is the Bee’s Knees. Or at least the Beer’s Ears.
November 11, 2012 at 12:32 pm
I subscribe to her on Facebook. Her stuff makes me smile.
November 11, 2012 at 12:56 pm
Cappy Sue forever!!
November 11, 2012 at 7:51 pm
November 11, 2012 at 10:02 am
I love how honest she is in the description. “Well I am but not that disgusting”
At least they’re learning!
November 11, 2012 at 10:03 am
XD
November 11, 2012 at 10:37 am
Sorry…Way back when, I did not believe that she was really going to do this. I should have known better.
November 11, 2012 at 10:06 am
I was starting to hate humanity, till I reached the part in the description where she speaks about someone I know (don’t ask). Then I was reminded that I already hate humanity, of course.
November 11, 2012 at 10:07 am
“…for whatever the hell kind of weird mother earth crap she is doing.”
Weird Mother Earth Crap…could be the greatest Etsy treasury EVER!!
November 11, 2012 at 10:11 am
Too bad you can’t pull the string and have it say your own pre-recorded message.
November 11, 2012 at 10:21 am
Pull the strong and it says one of 4 fun saying!
-”Somebody pass me the FUCKING MIDOL!”
-”Chocolate, where is the Goddamn chocolate?”
-”*various expletives*”
-”*10 minutes of intermittent crying*”
November 11, 2012 at 12:13 pm
or “THIS IS WHY WE CAN’T HAVE NICE THINGS!”
November 11, 2012 at 12:50 pm
“Pull da ztring!”
(as Bela Lugosi in ‘Ed Wood’)
November 11, 2012 at 1:18 pm
OK, it was Martin Landau playing Bela Lugosi.
November 11, 2012 at 1:21 pm
OK, it was Weird Al Yankovic.
November 11, 2012 at 2:24 pm
Actually, it was Weird Al Yankovic playing Martin Landau in a one-man show called “Bela – We Hardly knew Ye”
November 11, 2012 at 9:39 pm
Well, it was weird.
November 11, 2012 at 11:28 pm
Actually, it was a wax head of Lucille Ball playing the role of the key grip in the musical version of “The Dark Knight” which featured a flashback where Bela Lugosi’s favorite sock puppet recalled a dream ballet with KEVIN BACON as a tampon!
November 12, 2012 at 8:51 am
Damn you, Julie Taymor! Stop raping our superheros! And wasn’t that play called “Turn On The Dark”, which made things kind of porny?
November 11, 2012 at 10:13 am
Awwww, what a cute idea for a Christmas tree ornament!
November 11, 2012 at 10:18 am
are people TRYING to get on Regretsy now?
November 11, 2012 at 6:11 pm
If this is that try, I bow in humble admiration.
November 11, 2012 at 10:18 am
Yes, but will the dog be just as apt to eat it?
November 11, 2012 at 10:21 am
Finally, a companion piece for my Dirty Dream Catcher Sock Puppet.
November 11, 2012 at 10:34 am
“She could just be a lovely keepsake for your friend who is OVARY attached to her period.”
Fixed it for you.
November 11, 2012 at 10:34 am
Teaching “…to a child they hate.” What a wonderful way to sale a product like this.
November 11, 2012 at 10:42 am
Don’t you know that using it as a “message to your spouse to leave your junk alone for a few days…” will only cause them to menstrubate?
November 11, 2012 at 11:32 am
MENSTRUBATE!
ahahahhaha that’s my favourite new word! XD
November 11, 2012 at 10:46 am
If this is the future of marketing I can live with it.
November 11, 2012 at 10:49 am
How has no one made the “RAG DOLL” joke yet?
November 11, 2012 at 11:09 am
Yikes! A 6″ to 8″ high tampon would certainly frighten, er, teach, a child you hate.
It frightens me. Yet I cannot look away.
November 11, 2012 at 11:19 am
It’s like the blood follows you all around the room, you know?
November 11, 2012 at 12:23 pm
Oh, I know.
November 11, 2012 at 11:31 pm
Well, most of the blood.
November 11, 2012 at 11:10 am
I’m not at all offended that Cappy would make something like this, but I’m mildly unnerved that someone might buy it…for non-ironic reasons. (Hopefully her description will alienate those prospects.)
November 11, 2012 at 12:17 pm
As you see, the outright ironic description surprisingly didn’t manage to tip people off. (\Ducks to avoid thumbs.)
November 11, 2012 at 11:18 am
That is one of the greatest shops I’ve ever seen. No joke. Absolutely bizarre and awesome.
November 11, 2012 at 11:31 am
The variety in her shop is so weird, I love it. She’s got “Period at the Beach” painting(a woman getting her period at the beach, surrounded by sharks), and a pendant made with a stamp of George Washington Carver. Who does that? Just plain awesome.
November 11, 2012 at 12:24 pm
I totally agree. The Jesus and the dinosaur being friends? I wish it were mine.
November 11, 2012 at 1:02 pm
Yeah, she’s amazing.
November 11, 2012 at 11:24 am
so am I the only one who is more horny when I am on my period? This on my pillow would mean lots of sex please
November 11, 2012 at 12:17 pm
Also, sex during your period reduces the severity of menstrual cramps.
November 11, 2012 at 12:26 pm
Tonight dear, I have a non-head ache!
November 11, 2012 at 2:36 pm
You are not alone Bacon Fairy. I’ve always wondered if sublimated desire might be leading some women to be more cranky given how many people refuse to have sex on their period because “OMG blood gross!” or “It could ruin the sheets!”
November 11, 2012 at 11:52 am
Maybe it’s because I am too old but I always thought periods were one of those things everyone is aware of but no one discusses let alone make crafts out of. You know kind of like diarrhea?
November 11, 2012 at 12:18 pm
Yep, me too. Obviously we’re both old.
No, wait…isn’t diarrhea (and BM in general) something old people talk about excessively?
November 11, 2012 at 2:39 pm
well if we’re talking about diarrhoea, would you like to hear about the colour and consistency of mine? Or how much my ass hurts?
I got food poisoning from vegetable soup!
November 11, 2012 at 12:19 pm
Don’t say that. Someone will make a craft out of diarrhea now.
November 11, 2012 at 12:38 pm
We’re gonna start seeing “Diarrhea Dioramas” on etsy now.
November 11, 2012 at 12:57 pm
“Diarrhearama” is the new “Menstruart”.
November 11, 2012 at 1:05 pm
I picture a “Diarrhea Flume Ride at Six Flags” Diarrhearama.
More ideas came into my head as well, but they get progressively grosser. I’ll spare the good people of regretsy on this day of rest.
November 11, 2012 at 1:13 pm
And they say “Never Forget” like it’s a good thing.
November 11, 2012 at 1:19 pm
That gives me a great idea for a 9/11 Twin Towers Diarrhearama. The smell would guarantee that you’d “never forget”.
November 11, 2012 at 3:14 pm
I’m really offended that everyone is discussing diarrhea as if it’s something gross and to be ashamed of. It’s one of Mother Nature’s GIFTS to us.

Then one sends me $30 lest I charge you with poor pooping skills.
Diarrhea is simply Gaia’s way of saying “recycle faster, human scum!” Shit well, my friends.

November 14, 2012 at 3:06 am
Need more thumbs!
November 11, 2012 at 9:53 pm
I’m sending out a “No Diarrhea” spell to everyone. If you don’t have it, please send me $30. If you do have it, where is your faith in majik????
November 11, 2012 at 12:23 pm
We don’t want periods or diarrhea going mainstream.
November 11, 2012 at 12:26 pm
Oh, why did I see what you did there?
November 11, 2012 at 12:30 pm
I’m surprised Zippy would say that. I thought he was more of a “go with the flow” kind of guy.
November 11, 2012 at 12:32 pm
You’re surprised at ANYTHING Zippy says?
November 11, 2012 at 12:52 pm
I’M surprised at half the shit I say around here!
November 11, 2012 at 3:07 pm
Well, you’ve ruined me for the 3-dimensional men I’m trying to date. None of them say anything nearly as good.
November 11, 2012 at 5:57 pm
Zippy, you’re killin’ it with the ladies around these parts!
November 11, 2012 at 10:00 pm
These ladies are excellent! I wish I had more such ladies around my parts.
November 12, 2012 at 7:26 pm
heh heh, you said parts
November 11, 2012 at 10:02 pm
I thumbed you up, Melegrana. 4th dimensionally!
November 11, 2012 at 12:29 pm
“I was into periods and diarrhea BEFORE they were cool. Now, it’s like, totally corporate.”
November 11, 2012 at 12:31 pm
I know! It’s like every woman I know has them both.
November 11, 2012 at 12:55 pm
I was into continence BEFORE it was in(continence).
November 11, 2012 at 1:14 pm
I was into Bowel Syndrome before it was irritable.
November 11, 2012 at 1:20 pm
I was into Erectile Function before it got Dis’ed.
November 11, 2012 at 1:29 pm
I was into poop jokes before they were corny.
November 11, 2012 at 10:09 pm
I’m into a booger joke even when they say it snot funny.
November 11, 2012 at 11:40 pm
I was into Urinary Tract Infection jokes until I went on Macrobid for 7 days, increased my water and cranberry intake and tried to cut down on sugars and other…..wait….ummm….where am I????
November 11, 2012 at 12:23 pm
Then there is the “Hipster Hilter” painting. One never knows what will spark thy fire of creativity!
November 11, 2012 at 12:56 pm
Who bought it? I so sincerely hope that someone is going to use it to teach children they hate.
November 11, 2012 at 1:01 pm
“I’m OK with being left behind!”
- A child
November 11, 2012 at 1:01 pm
She “used things” to make the paint extra gross. What things. WHAT THINGS.
November 11, 2012 at 1:12 pm
Strategically-placed rubber cement: freaking out freshmen in design programs since 1910.
November 12, 2012 at 9:38 pm
Ohhhh, ohhhh, third degree nostalgia!
November 11, 2012 at 1:42 pm
Looks like a Matryoshka doll that commited suicide
November 11, 2012 at 2:04 pm
Who bought it?? C’mon, fess up.
November 11, 2012 at 2:24 pm
My partner wants this for her office. She’ll haul it out and hang it on the door once a month for five days as fair warning.
November 11, 2012 at 2:30 pm
I gave my daughter The Talk last week, and I can’t BELIEVE I didn’t have this handy little visual aid.

I think Crochet Guevara should gather up all of the bloody wombyn bullshit and do a bloody, tampon, menstruation, “view it in a room”! A period room perfect for any girl. (who will spend the rest of her life blaming her parents for this curse!)
November 11, 2012 at 9:13 pm
I actually really, really like this.
For the sole reason that the seller is poking fun at the menstrual-craft phenomenon, not buying into it in earnest.
November 11, 2012 at 9:54 pm
I wish I’d had this when I was still married. My ex never did seem to be able to figure out when I was on the rag. If I’d just had this to leave on his pillow, he wouldn’t have ended up with his feelings hurt (though I doubt his feelings hurt as much as my cramps).
