UPDATE: I THINK THE SELLER TOOK IT WELL
Recently, we featured this handsome objet d’fart:
The item description has now been modified to include the following:
Dear Seller,
Every time some self-important, delusional hot glue jockey equates negative criticism of their crafts to bullying, the word loses more and more of its power. People who really are bullied for their beliefs, their orientation, their color, their disabilities… these people become even more marginalized when pouty pants whiners like you elevate themselves to victimhood. I’d say you should feel shame, but seeing as you want $100 for a pile of smelly thrift store shoes, I’m not sure you could get there on your own.
Etsy may have convinced you that you are owed nothing but praise for everything you crap out, but once you ask the public for money, you have invited their scrutiny. If you can’t handle it, give your shoecatchers to your friends. They will also think your work is shit, but at least they won’t tell you.
- HK

Dear Seller: DONT WORRY WE WONT…
December 20, 2012 at 9:44 am
I am Algonquin and I feel bullied by your mocking my heritage by making this crap dream catcher which is supposed to be decorated with sacred items, not junky old shoes. So thank you for providing my first nation relatives and I a laugh.
December 20, 2012 at 11:29 am
Don’t buy whatever this is either!
Oh it’s a OOAK recycled redesigned wrap belt shawl olive green jungle woodland inspired HUGE BOGO Sale.
December 20, 2012 at 12:47 pm
BOGO means Buy One Get One, right? So if this is OOAK, how can you get two of them? And why would anyone want two of them? I’m confused.
December 19, 2012 at 2:04 pm
I don’t think she has to worry about anyone from this arena spending $100 on anything she makes…
December 19, 2012 at 6:11 pm
I think that’s she’s trying to use reverse psychology to unload that thing.
December 19, 2012 at 2:05 pm
What? This item was not snapped up IMMEDIATELY? Color me shocked!
December 19, 2012 at 2:19 pm
I’m out of shocked. Will mauve do?
December 19, 2012 at 3:09 pm
I’d prefer “puce”, on the basis that most people do not know precisely what color it is, and it sounds closest to my reaction to this piece.
December 20, 2012 at 8:51 am
This craft is Fuschia’d up.
December 19, 2012 at 2:06 pm
I’m selling shit, DO NOT BUY. Seems legit.
December 19, 2012 at 2:06 pm
Come on folks, she managed to get five pairs of shoes from Shelob’s closet before getting caught!
December 19, 2012 at 4:32 pm
Wait–if she got caught, how is she not the new ceiling decor at Cirith Ungol right now?
December 19, 2012 at 7:50 pm
She must have used her gloogun to melt her bonds and carried this confusition out on her OOAKenshield..
Do you hear something? Thought I heard someone calling for his precioussss….
December 19, 2012 at 11:31 pm
Upvoted for OOAKenshield.
December 19, 2012 at 2:06 pm
A well deserved touché. But I think we’re the victim here…
December 19, 2012 at 2:17 pm
Ooops. My bad. I completely changed my mind once I saw it in-situ. My friends will be soooooooooooo jealous.
December 19, 2012 at 4:35 pm
That is a beautiful view it in a room. Except I think you placed the shoecatcher about 3 feet too high.
December 19, 2012 at 6:12 pm
Perfect! The warmth from the fire should really bring out that old shoe aroma.
December 20, 2012 at 9:46 am
Hahahahahahah
December 19, 2012 at 7:13 pm
Argh, I hate to be the Grammar Nazi, but “in situ” is its original location. So sorry, bowing quickly & running away!
Love the “See it in a Room”!
December 19, 2012 at 8:53 pm
Now how can I let a running Nazi get away?
As I was saying, your absolutely right. And, to “emphasis” that, I’ll make sure to help people “see” the importance which will literally “help” people understand better with visual queues care of my creative literary ability.
How’d I do?
December 21, 2012 at 7:18 pm
Wow. That really ties the room together.
December 19, 2012 at 2:07 pm
You may want to change the “pubic” typo. I don’t know if that makes us bad or worse.
December 19, 2012 at 2:08 pm
Bad or good*
Oh irony. -__-
December 19, 2012 at 2:28 pm
Bad or gooder. C’mon already. Duh.
December 19, 2012 at 2:12 pm
I continue to ask the pubic for money, but it has yet to grant my wish.
December 19, 2012 at 3:00 pm
The pubic can be a little hairy on the wish granting.

If she is so concerned about bullying maybe donate the money to an anti-bullying charity and not to her whiney ass self.
December 19, 2012 at 6:21 pm
I’m still confused about how preemies get bullied.
“You you you… LIVED”
WTF?
in an attempt at disclosure, I was a preemie and weighed 1lb 1oz and was born at 6mos.
December 19, 2012 at 9:46 pm
Yeah, me too. Most people born prematurely don’t exactly show signs of it, unless they have other serious complications. My brother was born a premie and I’m pretty sure nobody would ever guess that looking at him.
So… maybe she was bullied by other infants, who cried what may have been baby-insults in her direction, kind of? It’s hard to be directional at all when you can’t roll over.
December 19, 2012 at 11:56 pm
I was born Caesarean, you can’t tell by looking at me but when I leave a room I go out the window.
December 20, 2012 at 10:45 am
I was a breech birth and you can’t tell by looking at me but every time I go through a doorway I show everyone my ass.
December 20, 2012 at 10:12 pm
DAMN YOU! I laughed so hard at that it woke the dogs and now they’re barking and my ribcage hurts.
PLUS now I have to go invent 250 more users so I can give this the appropriate number of thumbs up.

My pubic won’t be giving this seller any money no matter how much she asks.
December 19, 2012 at 2:19 pm
My pubic is completely exhausted.
December 19, 2012 at 2:40 pm
Ditto. I’m overdrawn at the Fourth National Bank of Queef.
December 19, 2012 at 2:51 pm
Fourth?
December 19, 2012 at 4:14 pm
I’m surprised too. After the Third collapsed in that unfortunate (and embarrassing) wind storm, I didn’t think they were going to build again.

You always wear underpants, don’t you?
December 19, 2012 at 9:56 pm
Nope. But I don’t wear skirts!
December 19, 2012 at 2:09 pm
We really should be more proud of all the shoes she caught net fishing.
December 19, 2012 at 2:09 pm
No, guise, seriously – that kind of bullying HURTS. I mean, I was bullied do to being a girl that looked like a boy, and for my sexual orientation, and now for being a transman. But until I know the TRUE PAIN of having my GIANT DREAMCATCHER MADE OF USED SHOES made fun of on the internet, I don’t think I can know what bullying IS. Didn’t your mothers ever tell you that if you don’t have something nice to say, don’t say anything at all?
December 19, 2012 at 3:43 pm
Nah, mine told me to get a girlfriend and stop wearing those girly shirts, what was I, a queer? Boy, was she surprised a few years later.
I agree, we should be more sensitive, as this seller clearly has some kind of butthurt problem.
December 19, 2012 at 4:03 pm
Not the same thing at all. Your dreamcatchers are made with nice, sensible shoes.
(it would be so cool if someone did one of these with sensible shoes and rainbow yarn. I still wouldn’t buy it.)
December 19, 2012 at 9:48 pm
Rainbow converse and rainbow yarn? I still wouldn’t buy it, but at least I wouldn’t shake with loathing at the thought of it being used as decor.
December 19, 2012 at 4:17 pm
I’m actually kind of interested in how the poor little thing was bullied, and if that was many years ago, what form did the bullying take?
“You were a premie, so swirlies every friday!” Or was it the nurses that bullied the baby? I’ve heard that the nurses in the neonatal unit are tough.
December 19, 2012 at 5:49 pm
I was perplexed by that rant as well. I mean, is Butthurt sends her daughter to school wearing a tee shirt that says “I was a 2 lb 4 oz premi [sic]?” Or did the poor kid take a shoecatcher to school for show & tell?

I wonder how the seller would react if I requested this in muddy hiking boots.
December 19, 2012 at 2:15 pm
or in old, worn Nike shoes.
December 19, 2012 at 2:10 pm
one time i asked my pubic for money too, i only got hairs =[
December 19, 2012 at 2:10 pm
Will trade pubic money for OOAK shoes, convo me
December 19, 2012 at 2:12 pm
If I give her pubic money, will this be encircled in clear plastic platform stripper shoes?
December 19, 2012 at 2:13 pm
Her daughter was bullied for being a premie? Man, when I was a kid, “You look funny” was a good enough reason for being bullied, we didn’t have to scrape the bottom of the barrel for reasons that didn’t even make sense. What does this even mean? “We can’t talk to Sadie, she was *whispers* low birthweight.”
December 19, 2012 at 2:19 pm
She was bullied WHEN she was a premie. Those other babies in the maternity ward can be so cruel…
December 19, 2012 at 2:24 pm
You would think such a place would incubate a sense of tolerance.
December 19, 2012 at 2:31 pm
The whole place is really a formula for disaster.
December 19, 2012 at 2:38 pm
Ward Is Hell.
December 19, 2012 at 2:38 pm
They should really blanket the area with security personnel.
December 19, 2012 at 2:51 pm
They need to deploy more pacifiers!
December 19, 2012 at 3:05 pm
Respirator? Try respihater!
December 19, 2012 at 3:34 pm
I think I have too much of a soft spot for puns.
December 19, 2012 at 3:43 pm
Up there, on top of your head?
That’s where Athena jumps out of.
December 19, 2012 at 5:53 pm
How long can we nurse this list of puns along?
December 19, 2012 at 6:14 pm
Are you asking for a breast guess?
December 19, 2012 at 6:14 pm
It really shouldn’t go past the third try, mister.
December 19, 2012 at 5:52 pm
Nope, unfortunately they are one of the worst known places for infantile jokes.
December 19, 2012 at 2:29 pm
Whoops, you beat me to it.
December 19, 2012 at 3:00 pm
Maybe she had one of these dream archers above her crib…
December 19, 2012 at 4:59 pm
I came here to say the same thing!
I mean I guess the woman’s point was that her daughter continued to be small for her age, but the letter was phrased so weirdly that I ended up picturing Baby Fight Club.
December 19, 2012 at 6:59 pm
Good thing babies are good about Rule 1 of Baby Fight Club.
December 19, 2012 at 4:24 pm
I’m assuming her daughter has some handicaps from being a preemie. Vision, hearing and cognitive deficits are common with preemies.
December 19, 2012 at 5:03 pm
2 pounds 4 ounces? Bitch, please – 1 pound 13 ounces in the mid-1970s! I aspired to 2 pounds, forget the 4 ounces. 2 months in the NICU *and* I went to art school, so I can take shit like nobody’s business.
December 19, 2012 at 5:50 pm
These mommy wars are just going too far!
December 19, 2012 at 2:15 pm
I think HK just realizes that I, like most reasonable folks, keep my cash in my PJ Pussy.
December 19, 2012 at 2:16 pm
If someone is going to give me $100 for my crap, I’m going to take it. I don’t care if you take it home and canoodle with it or laugh at it. Stuff is stuff. It’s not worth moralizing. I’m sure she doesn’t think it’s “crap” or “stuff” but in reality, it’s shoes. Props on her webbing, I’m sure she worked hard on it, but unless my dream catcher is covered in griffin and phoenix feathers, I’m never going to accept that it’s worth more than $10.
December 19, 2012 at 2:18 pm
What about the bullying that was done to Shoeless Joe Jackson? He has no shoes, yet is forced to view an almost “shoe-gasmic” offering- the likes of which his poor feet will never know- such as this on etsy? For poor Joe, this piece truly was a “shame spiral”.
December 19, 2012 at 2:20 pm
This seller acts like we’re the ones who were walking all over her!
December 19, 2012 at 2:20 pm
I’ve got a philosophical question. Maybe I’m just one of those old farts who thinks things were better in the old days, but it seems to me that the world is getting steadily whinier. It especially seems that way to me when I read shit like this. Really, though, is it my imagination or did there used to be less whining in the world? Or did I just hear less of it in the pre-Internet days, when we were all exposed to the whines of fewer voices? Or is the problem Etsy, which gives talentless whiners a forum for crap which previously wouldn’t have gotten further than the Christmas display at the adult education center?
December 19, 2012 at 2:24 pm
UR SO MEAN11111!!!!!! OMG.
December 19, 2012 at 3:13 pm
This is a gif of outstanding awesome. I cannot stop watching the glee of that child.
December 19, 2012 at 6:54 pm
I LOVE FAT BABIES!!!! NOW I WANT ONE!
December 19, 2012 at 2:29 pm
And another thing – nostalgia isn’t what it used to be!
December 19, 2012 at 3:33 pm
“Or is the problem Etsy, which gives talentless whiners a forum for crap which previously wouldn’t have gotten further than the Christmas display at the adult education center?”
**Stands and applauds**
December 19, 2012 at 7:03 pm
I was just telling some teenager a couple of days ago that they seem so much more sensitive than we were.
December 19, 2012 at 2:22 pm
We’re not allowed to buy it now? Damn. It would have been the best hubcap.
December 19, 2012 at 2:28 pm
Those neonatal ward bullies are just the worst, aren’t they?
“Hey, look whose skull hasn’t developed yet!” “What are you crying about, you little baby?” “Only total losers have bunnies on their blanket, loser.” “When I develop coordinated motor skills I am totally going to come over there and beat you up.”
December 19, 2012 at 2:41 pm
“Fetus? Bitch, you didn’t even meet us!” Newborn Tribe is hardcore.
December 19, 2012 at 2:29 pm
I think the seller here has confused “Critic” with bully. We’re not bullies here.we’re critics. if someone’s different readers of regretsy don’t care. but if something’s crap. Then we care.
December 19, 2012 at 5:24 pm
Sometimes we applaud different. Like the bronco-snake riding squirrel in the latest post.
December 19, 2012 at 2:33 pm
Boy, she socked it to us!
December 20, 2012 at 12:54 pm
She shoo-ed have quit while she was behind.
December 20, 2012 at 12:55 pm
I meant to write “shoed”. Doh! One hour til my Christmas vacation starts.
December 27, 2012 at 1:06 pm
She’s a real heel.
December 19, 2012 at 2:33 pm
I love it when they try to make you feel guilty by throwing in a random sad facts about their lives that has nothing to do with the situation. If you were actually talented you wouldn’t have to rely on people pitying you to get them to appreciate your “art”.
December 19, 2012 at 2:35 pm
That reminds me- I almost died as a baby from lactose intolerance. Buy my shit, please.
December 19, 2012 at 2:42 pm
OK, now you’re just milking it.
December 19, 2012 at 3:08 pm
And I’m lefthanded, and things aren’t made for us.
Please send me money. Also because I wasn’t breastfed.
December 19, 2012 at 3:13 pm
I’m also a south paw, had to work since I was 7, chip in on rent since I was 10, and I’m congenitally incapable of tolerating whining. Give me monies!
December 19, 2012 at 4:02 pm
I’M STILL LACTOSE INTOLERANT, BITCH!
December 21, 2012 at 10:09 am
Well I don’t believe in any kind of intolerance. Drink the milk! LIKE IT!
December 19, 2012 at 5:57 pm
Does it have glitter in it?
December 22, 2012 at 1:08 am
I totally love your shop! I would sooo buy this if I actually had money. Lol. http://www.etsy.com/listing/105921902/natural-edge-mid-century-modern
December 19, 2012 at 2:36 pm
She’s insulted? I’m Native and *I’m* insulted that she hijacked a dreamcatcher to make this abomination.
December 19, 2012 at 2:39 pm
But she can totally empathize, because she had a vision that the high heel was her spirit animal! That makes it totally ok!
December 19, 2012 at 9:57 pm
I was just thinking this could use the ‘Cultural Appropriation’ tag as well as the ‘Bullshit’ tag.
December 19, 2012 at 2:36 pm
Dear Seller,
1) I used hot glue today to glue the sole of my shoe to the rest of it. So I could wear them.
2) Like many people here, $100 will buy the family food for half a month.
These are my top two reasons for not spending my $100.00 on your hot glue shoes.
3) No. Just no.
Sincerely and without bullying,
Nana
December 20, 2012 at 8:57 am
Plus, aren’t you still saving up for that labiaplasty procedure?
December 19, 2012 at 2:55 pm
If she had more prada in her work she might have stood up better to us.
December 19, 2012 at 3:07 pm
Well she did choo us out, really frye’d our asics good.
December 19, 2012 at 4:11 pm
I just Manolo what she was thinking!
BTW-My Mom and I both nearly died at my birth and I was bullied so I am off to make not only CRAP but something that I steal from another culture!
AND I am going to poorly execute said crap–because someone made fun of my hair that one time!
December 19, 2012 at 11:07 pm
I’m inKleined to give her Cole, but she already thinks we’re Kors.
December 20, 2012 at 7:13 am
Only because it’s just shoes, she might have a better reception if she had put Louboutin.
December 19, 2012 at 3:08 pm
Wow I love how she can completely bastardize a sacred object of Native peoples and then scream she is being bullied when people say that is complete and utter crap. I wonder how her and the rest of the cupcake brigade would feel about me making a manger scene out of used tampons? Old used q-tips maybe? Who am I kidding I bet that shit is already on Etsy.
December 19, 2012 at 3:14 pm
If it’s not, GRAB YOUR GLUE-GUN and MAKE IT SO!
But charge at least $150 for it.
December 19, 2012 at 3:57 pm
Oh and I will have to make sure to talk about all the lovely sacred wombyn power that is contained in that blood drenched manger scene. That should make it so I can at LEAST kick it up another $100.
December 19, 2012 at 3:23 pm
I wish I could upvote this a lot of times. I’m kind of glad she’s throwing the classic DON’T YOU DARE GIVE ME MONEY! tantrum; being on Regretsy can be a real jackpot for sellers and I’d hate to think of this creature making thousands from her entitlement-and-hot-glue cultural insensitivity disasters.
December 19, 2012 at 4:00 pm
LOL Yeah I love the ” I don’t want your dirty bully money!” I mean, how is that supposed to make us feel bad. “Oh no! The foot fetish cupcake doesn’t want my money! What a BULLY!”
December 19, 2012 at 6:00 pm
She also suggests hanging jewelry off of it. Imagine selling a crucifix and suggesting that?
December 19, 2012 at 6:19 pm
Only if you put the holes to push earrings through on the hands, feet and side. Christ was nailed to the cross with cheap rhinestone studs, everyone knows that.
December 19, 2012 at 11:33 pm
Not cheap – vintage!
December 22, 2012 at 7:18 pm
and don’t forget the upcycled, vintage barnwood cross.
December 19, 2012 at 9:57 pm
I would kind of love to see a used tampon nativity. Not in person, but just to know that it exists.
What have you done to me, Regretsy?!
December 19, 2012 at 3:09 pm
It’s been a while since we’ve had some good butthurt. Just in time for the holidays, too. Warms my heart.
December 19, 2012 at 3:15 pm
You sure that’s not the heartburn caused by having to look at this piece of thrift-store DON’T?
December 19, 2012 at 11:36 pm
A good butthurt rant is the perfect gift for everyone.
December 19, 2012 at 3:13 pm
A friend of mine pointed out that it looks like part of some evil magical ritual. It does, too. All of the people who wore those shoes died in mysterious and horrific hot-glue accidents. Their souls scream to be released.
December 19, 2012 at 3:19 pm
How do we know the owner/owners of the shoes were spiritually up to snuff? And speaking of that, did she douse those things with Lysol before adding them to her creation?
December 19, 2012 at 3:33 pm
2lb 4ozs and bullied!? Why I gave birth to a 10lb 9oz monster and you don’t see HIM being bullied! It’s a wonder she didn’t put the itty bitty placenta in the middle as a ‘Spiriutal gift to connect to Mother Nature’ Come ON, love, give us something to work with here!
December 22, 2012 at 7:21 pm
try 12 lbs 15oz, on time too… 24hrs in labour…
December 19, 2012 at 3:35 pm
I am a nerdy, femmy little queer who grew up in the deep South. I’m sorry the seller’s daughter was born prematurely. However, I sincerely doubt that people have actually threatened her with bodily harm or told her to kill herself because she was premature. Telling someone a single piece of art they created is ugly is not tantamount to telling them that they are ugly. Jesus fuck, learn to separate yourself from your shart, and you’ll be a lot happier.
December 19, 2012 at 3:41 pm
Shart? Best term ever.
December 19, 2012 at 3:45 pm
I’m pretty sure somebody on Regretsy used it to describe somebody’s art before, if not HK herself, so I can’t take credit for it…I did not make this happen in my artistic ability.
December 19, 2012 at 4:15 pm
When you’re a nerdy, femmy little queer in the Deep South, you have to be able to discuss Truman Capote’s early work, Leslie Jordan, or just move to Atlanta.
Now I want to go to Blake’s.
December 19, 2012 at 3:42 pm
Jeebus, if she would have at least made the effort to paint the shoes with some glitter paint, hot fix crystals or something! Dress those puppies up like they worked the ho stroll circa 1982.
December 19, 2012 at 3:46 pm
Is it wrong to think that it’s weird to see 5 pairs of shoes, a hoop and some netting anywhere else besides on half a basketball court?
December 19, 2012 at 3:51 pm
Well said, Helen. You are the voice of reason in a tsunami of idiocy.
December 19, 2012 at 3:54 pm
Thank you Helen! Criticism and bullying are not synonyms.
December 19, 2012 at 4:22 pm
On this planet, an important part of being a creative who offers their work for sale is to find ways of dealing with feedback. It’s that simple… and hard. But whining is NOT a good way to deal with feedback you don’t like. No. It’s not.
I think this person is missing an opportunity with this piece. She should remove the netting, re-title it something artsy-fartsy (“Quantum Treadmill” springs to mind) and submit it to fine arts shows! It might present her with more opportunities, including opportunities to deal with feedback.
Also, art lovers aren’t going to be bothered by the obvious fastenings of the shoes to the hula hoop. It can be explained away as “showing the process” or some such.
December 19, 2012 at 7:13 pm
“Pumpin’ Ain’t Easy”
December 19, 2012 at 10:11 pm
“Quantum Treadmill”? And pass up a perfectly good opportunity to call it “Quantum of Sole-Lace”?
December 19, 2012 at 4:53 pm
You tell ‘em!!! I WAS a premie in 1956 and almost didn’t make it myself.
I’m gay and was bullied as a child!
I feel your pain, Honey. I have one important question to ask that I want you ALL to think about…..
Don’t you think this piece of Sh*T design would be cooler if she ditched the 80′s pumps with Kitten heels ……
…. and made it with real feet! Or maybe, real Kittens?
Just a thought.

Let’s compromise. Make her promise to burn her work.
Life gets better. Shoecatchers don’t.

“I have a daughter who was born a premi…” Can someone help me? I can’t figure out which one is her daughter.
December 19, 2012 at 8:56 pm
I have no idea what is going on in that image, but I love how they’re all so ridiculously happy, except for that guy on the middle left.
December 19, 2012 at 10:00 pm
Guy? That’s her daughter! Clearly she has just been bullied into submission by these shiny-shirt-wearing jerks.

One of a kind? THANK GOD!

Seriously, seller, everything is critiqued in this world, ESPECIALLY items that are made for sale. If you’re that frigging sensitive, get into a line of business where you’re not depending on other people’s favorable opinion of your wares for you to be profitable. And that’s to anyone: if someone calling your handmade junk JUNK (whether or not it is junk isn’t important) is enough to make you hurt yourself, FIND ANOTHER LINE OF WORK. There are people who dislike Liberace, Beck, and Smashing Pumpkins, what makes you think you’re better than them?

I dislike The Beatles, I should probably be shot on sight.

I’m glad HK called her out on the marginalization bullshit.. I’m real tired of people getting fucking butthurt over hilarity. “It’s bullying… and I should know.. because I have SUCH AND SUCH Disease.. or my daughters, friends, cousin, is a blah blah blah”
NO.. FUCK YOU!
This is like “I’m not a racist… my neighbor is black” or “I can call you retarded.. it’s okay… my 2nd cousin is “that way”
YOU SHUT UP!
Your “craft” is crap.. and that is that..JUST OWN IT DOUCHE.
Leave your kid out of it….

I’m not computer savvy enough to do this myself, so would someone please make a dream catcher goatse? pleeeaaasssseee?
December 19, 2012 at 9:03 pm
HK, you are my hero. thanks for putting it more eloquently than i ever could.

If I had $100 that I could waste, I’d buy this thing. Then, in etsy’s Notes To Seller, I’d claim to be the wittiest, mocking-est FJL on this site. I’d send her links to my “rudest” remarks.
Then, I’d see if the seller would accept my money.

Ten bucks says this seller watches any number of shows on TV based entirely around making fun of people publicly — a good chunk of reality TV, for example, or various gossip shows, or literally any show containing any parody or satire whatsoever.

its high time that Etsy started jurying all the crap that people upload and try and sell on etsy. There are many many ACTUAL ARTISTS that are talented, and deserve to make a living out of etsy. BUT the etsy colon is clogged with big fat turds like this shoe monstrousity, and this is why it is so difficult for real artists to get seen

Oh, bite me, seller! I was a premie and weight 1lb14oz, and I am no excuse for my mother’s batshittery!
December 20, 2012 at 5:49 pm
But wait, there’s more!
“After being contacted to check the site out again and look what they are saying know it was very apparent that many did not understand how a premature child was bullied, so I guess I have to explain that as a result of her being premature there were many complications. For example she has learning disabilities, especially with her short term memory circuit, it took her 4 years to learn to recite the abc’s and yes she is still in school being teased and bullied to this day.”
So – are we suddenly and magically bullying her daughter, because the mother makes godawful crafts?
December 20, 2012 at 10:51 pm
So she’s not being teased for being premature, she’s being teased for being disabled.
I feel for the girl. It’s shitty enough to get bullied, especially for a disability, but then to have your mother appropriate your bullying because she makes shitty crafts and wants the people who notice they’re shitty to feel bad?
December 20, 2012 at 10:52 pm
*bullying experience
I accidentally some words there.
December 21, 2012 at 2:04 am
YES. WE. ARE.
Everything that has to do with how terribly awful her life is.. NOW has everything to do with us… I’m also waiting for the child support order.. because that’s our fucking fault too…
Ugly damned shoe-catcher…Drink a couple cocktails.. think something is nice through beer goggles.. and WHAMO.. you’re fucking saddled in for the long haul!
December 20, 2012 at 9:12 pm
I do feel bad for her daughter and any child who is teased and bullied. I hope things get better for her as she gets older.
But learning the ABCs at 4 is pretty good, isn’t it?
December 21, 2012 at 6:06 am
My son learned at 2. My mom said I was about 2. My youngest brother didn’t learn till about 4. So I’m not sure.
December 21, 2012 at 10:17 am
So lemme see if I’m up to date here.
Seller makes crap, we make fun of crap, seller parades her disabled daughter out as some kind of shield to deflect our making fun of her crap, all the while never owning up to the fact that what she made is crap?
I guess *lowers sunglasses* if the shoe fits…
YEEEEAAAAHHHHH!!
December 21, 2012 at 10:57 am
Stop giving her so much publicity, you BULLIES! And you’d better not give her $100 – It might make her kill herself!

*applauds HK’s rebuttal*
Heh heh. Butt.
