Regretsy: SPANDY

Helen Killer — 2012-02-07T00:30:16+00:00

Last week, I featured some unusual Valentine suggestions from Fiverr.com. One of my favorite finds was Spandy Andy, who likes to “keep it tight and bright.”

Well, apparently he’s your favorite too. In fact, he got so much love from the Regretsy community that he sent a Valentine of his own right back to you.

AND SHIT IS ABOUT TO GET REAL

This one comes from an assist by the able Schmutzie, of Schmutzie, Five Star Friday, and the Canadian Blogging Awards (among other things).

She sent me the cutest message saying “Would you mind if I occasionally sent you Etsy links to crazy shit? Like this?” Would I MIND? No, I love having people help me excavate the muddy minefields of crazy Etsy stuff.

Oh, you want to see what she sent me? Guess what? It has already sold! But it looked like this:

Fret not, my friends. The shop has even better items in it, my favorite of which is a – wait for it – statement necklace that looks almost exactly like a banana peel!

And what better way to say “I’m going bananas!” than to wear bananas?

You might recall this epic note — the obnoxious vegan roommate who “forbade” her roommate from bringing animal products into the apartment. Our original submitter writes in to say that since that showdown, she decided to move out (in favor of a more omnivore-friendly living environment).

“After almost five months of zero communication,” she reports, “my ex-roomie started texting me out of nowhere. It appears her vegan fanaticism is still putting her at odds with others.”

Ugly Overload: Giant sea monster!

wombat — 2012-02-05T02:16:00+00:00

Scientists looking for a deep-sea fish had a thrill when they also brought up seven of these giant amphipods, discovered in 1899 but only observed a handful of times since then.

If this creature looks unreal to you, in fact it feels unreal as well, according to the scientist who led the expedition, who said "They actually don't feel real. They feel like plastic toys."

Giant is a relative term, of course: Amphipods are usually about a half-inch long, while the largest of these specimens was eleven inches. Still, for those of us who aren't accustomed to seeing amphipods of any size, it can be hard to appreciate how unusual this is. If you're not impressed enough, the researcher has a comparison that might convince you:

"It’s a bit like finding a foot long cockroach."

Uh, nice... I think.

Helen Killer — 2012-02-04T19:49:48+00:00

An update from Tori LaConsay:

This morning, H&M contacted my attorney to extend the olive branch and work towards an agreement that I am truly pleased to be a part of. In a gesture of kindness, H&M has offered not only to settle this matter with me, but also with the public at large, by donating $3,000 towards animal rescue organizations in the East Atlanta Village.

Additionally, H&M has offered to donate the remainder of the “You Look Nice Today” stock to charitable organizations. I am especially pleased that this agreement respectfully honors the true intent behind the original artwork, offering a message of love, compassion and community.

I credit the entirety of this WONDERFUL outcome to the support of my friends and neighbors, the East Atlanta Village, and most of all, the Regretsy community. If it weren’t for the kindness, generosity and determination in communities both geographic and digital, we would not have reached this resolution.

H&M has done the right thing. I thank them. They Look Nice Today.

Regretsy: UPDATE: H & M IS STILL AWESOME

Helen Killer — 2012-02-04T00:31:06+00:00

Last week, I told you about Atlanta based artist Tori LaConsay, and her discovery that giant retailer H&M was using her artwork on housewares without permission or credit. When confronted, H&M denied the allegations, then agreed to being “inspired,” and eventually posted a half-hearted non-apology on their Facebook page.

The story went viral, and H&M was overwhelmed with emails and negative comments from readers and customers. The pressure was so great, H&M publicly announced they were working with Tori to find a resolution, and invited her to a discussion. As a condition, Tori was prohibited from sharing details in social media.

Given the unrepentant attitude displayed by H&M, Tori has decided to speak openly about this situation, and has provided the following update.

On December 14, 2008, I painted outdoor art on a sign on the main thoroughfare in my Atlanta neighborhood. The sign was painted with permission, and the work itself was copyrighted.

The sign stayed up for over a year. It was featured on many blogs and Flickr photostreams.

Recently, H&M began to sell housewares in the UK featuring an almost carbon-copy of this sign. They did not obtain permission, nor did they credit me.

With the public support of friends, neighbors and Regretsy.com, new allies and consumers contacted H&M to request that the company “do the right thing” by addressing the issue honestly and fairly.

H&M issued statements via Facebook, Twitter and email, first declaring that there was no infringement and thus no issue. As public support increased, H&M eventually admitted that they were “inspired” by the work.

Within a day, the story had spread to outlets including Adweek, BBC, Village Voice, New York Observer, Consumerist.com and hundreds of others. Only when the story gained media momentum and a wealth of public support did an H&M media relations representative reach out to me.

I would like to state that my objective has never been financial gain. My goal was to be credited, and to see H&M apologize for the theft. I believed that this would make it harder for them to steal again, and would set an important precedent for other creative people.

It seemed like this was going to resolve quickly, as H&M were initially willing to offer an apology. But as discussions continued, H&M began to revise their position. They suggested that an apology would only be made as a sort of “favor” to me. Things did not improve from there.

They then implied that because the items were not being sold in the U.S., they had no responsibility to own up to the theft, manufacture, and sale of designs that they didn’t license.

Instead, they proposed a licensing agreement that would only take effect after they had sold all the products they had already made without permission. They even gave me a “suggested” media statement, wherein I would publicly claim the agreement was amicable, and that I was “very happy” about it. Obviously, I was not.

I take all of this as a clear signal from H&M they are comfortable with taking work from foreign designers, and selling it outside of that designer’s country of origin because litigation can be too expensive and time-consuming.

Because Tori is such a money-grubbing opportunist, she is currently helping an animal rescue raise money for Fred, who is in need of surgery.

Regretsy readers donating $15 or more who leave the words, “You Look Nice Today,” along with their name and address will receive a signed poster with a lot of love.

wtf_nature: Giant amphipods!!!!

Jodi — 2012-02-03T10:33:38+00:00

A huge crustacean has been found lurking 7km down in the waters off the coast of New Zealand.

The creature - called a supergiant - is a type of amphipod, which are normally around 2-3cm long.

But these beasts, discovered in the Kermadec Trench, were more than 10 times bigger: the largest found measured in at 34cm.

Alan Jamieson, from the University of Aberdeen's Oceanlab, said: "It's a bit like finding a foot-long cockroach."

"I stopped and thought: 'What on Earth was that?' This amphipod was far bigger than I ever thought possible."

Continue reading the main story

The strange animals were found using a large metal trap, which had been equipped with a camera, housed in sapphire glass to keep it safe from the high pressures of the deep sea.

Seven specimens were caught in the trap and nine were captured on film by the team from the University of Aberdeen, in Scotland, and the National Institute of Water and Atmospheric Research (Niwa), in New Zealand.

The largest specimen brought back up to the ship measured 28cm in length, while the biggest spotted on camera was 34cm-long.

'Conspicuous animal'

Amphipods have been found living in large numbers at the very bottom of ocean trenches, deep, narrow valleys in the sea floor that can plunge down to nearly 11km.

The creatures are small, but extremely active, and seem to thrive in this place where the pressure is one thousand times greater than at sea level.

Amphipods found elsewhere in the deep are usually just 2-3cm in length

The name "supergiant" was first coined after large specimens were caught in the 1980s off the coast of Hawaii.

They have been since being seen in the Antarctic, where they grew up to 10cm, but these are now dwarfed by this latest find.

"For such a large and conspicuous animal to go unnoticed for so long is just testament to how little we know about life in New Zealand's most deep and unique habitat."

Over the last few years, scientists have been surprised by the life that is found in ocean trenches.

These deep-sea spots were once thought to be barren; too dark, cold and with too much pressure for anything to survive.

But researchers have found a wealth of life in the deepest of the deep.

As well as swarms of amphipods, they have uncovered shrimp-like creatures called isopods and snailfish that live 7,700m down.

Regretsy: JOB OPPORTUNITY

Helen Killer — 2012-02-02T23:56:25+00:00

From: J. S.
Subject: EMERGENCY ASS PILLOW!
Date: February 1, 2012 5:38:29 PM PST
To: Helen@regretsy.com

Helen,

My Dad just had some horrifying ass surgery today. Okay, it’s just hemorrhoids, but still.

That said, my family tends to have a rather irreverent approach to things like this, because, well, we’re terrible people.

And being terrible people, I’m thinking that my Dad needs something to sit on. Something that will legitimately help him, but also torture and mock him at the same time.

I want to do something special for my Dad because for gifts he usually just gets the stuff he needs. But this, this is an opportunity. An opportunity for fuckery, an opportunity to help someone in pain and an opportunity to make him laugh his shredded ass off.

Can the Regretsy crew quickly whip up functional item that will soothe his ass?

I can go $100 bucks.

- J

***

Submit your sketches, comps or other ideas in the comment thread, along with a estimated time of delivery. I’ll have the letter writer choose her favorite tomorrow, and I’ll even throw in another $100 for the winner.

Your ideas must be posted by noon PST tomorrow to be eligible.

And… GO

Regretsy: IT’S HAPPENING

Helen Killer — 2012-02-02T17:30:25+00:00

IT’S OFFICIAL:

Now, I want to say something to all of you fat bastards on the East Coast, who looked at the photos of our Los Angeles Meet-Up a few weeks ago (password: CF4L) and felt like the whole thing was just unfair.

It was. It was terribly unfair.

We have nice weather, great Mexican food, and all our women have gigantic implants and no pubic hair. And what do you have? Trash strikes, rats the size of housecats and Jets fans. You don’t even have hookers in Times Square anymore.

Well friends, we ’bout to flip the script (I got that from Queen Latifah. Don’t judge me). The first annual NEW YORK CITY REGRETSY MEET-UP is on its way, and it will make the West Coast sushi shitfest look like a Lutheran potluck. I’m not even sure what that means, and I’m still excited!

What does this meet-up have that Los Angeles didn’t have?

• DRAG QUEENS
• CHINESE FOOD
• A GUY WHO MAKES X-RATED BALLOON ANIMALS
• LAP DANCES
• FRIED FOOD
• TWICE AS MANY FAT JEALOUS LOSERS

And there was something else… what was it?

Oh yes

PETJA!

Petja first came to our attention on a Finnish fashion site that captures stylish people on the streets of Helsinki, on their way to do typically Finnish things (get drunk). We featured Petja’s picture here, and he instantly became an object of adoration in the Regretsy community.

Because Finland is only inhabited by about 12 people, Petja soon became aware of the feature, and began to post here and in our forums. Things got even better when he agreed to meet us in Helsinki, and we wound up golfing with beer cans and getting drunk in an igloo.

It’s a long story. But if you want to read about it, start here and click through the next few posts (password: CF4L).

The important thing is that Petja is coming all the way from Helsinki in his vest and monocle and weird-ass beard, just to show all of us the true meaning of drinking like a Finnish bastard.

It’s a once in a lifetime chance to drink and dine with the legend, while a drag queen gives someone a lap dance.

Not me of course, but someone.

Susan G. Komen for the Cure, America's most recognized and funded breast-cancer charity, announced that it will cease its work with Planned Parenthood, a major provider of breast cancer screening. A day after the move, a massive outpouring of outrage has the charity on its heels trying to defend itself. Komen's insistence that its move is "not about politics" has not convinced the outraged, who point out that Komen's new policy just happens to coincide with the hiring of new executive Karen Handel, an anti-abortion Republican.

We've been cleaning out all the things we had in storage at my dead Grandfather's house, and I found a bunch of photographs I took when I was 16 in high school in 1990. I'll share some with you. These are developed in the darkroom by me, so please excuse any crappiness, LOL:

These were taken with ASA 8 film, which is so slow it only sees black and white.

Self-portrait:

Studies in motion:

Some statuary:

I hate the developing on this one, but it's all I have left - I don't have the negatives:

And a couple in color taken with a fisheye lens and developed at the One Hour Photo where I worked:

Enjoy!

This clip from Comedy Central's new sketch series Key & Peele is an excellent snapshot of the importance of making a false impression on people you'll never see again. The great thing about total strangers is they have no idea how cowardly and demure you really are. With a little phone-voice modulation you can convince any number of passing bystanders that you're an absolute badass, just as long as they never have to interact with you for more than thirty seconds. Key & Peele premieres on Comedy Central tonight at 10:30/9:30c.

Passive Aggressive Notes: No Dumping Zone

Kerry — 2012-01-31T04:40:05+00:00

To me this sounds suspiciously like an episode of The League, but Stephen from Cherry Hill, New Jersey claims his daughter recently caught him heading into the bathroom “for a little sit-down,” laptop in hand. When five-year-old Rosie asked why Daddy was bringing his computer into the fecal mist zone, he replied, “Multi-tasking.”

A few minutes later, Rosie slipped the following note under the door. (The drawing had already been done earlier.)

Translation: What are you thinking Dad? That’s a horrible thing to do.

Can you really argue with her?

Regretsy: Etsy or Regretsy? Your Guesses and Answers

Helen Killer — 2012-01-30T23:10:47+00:00

Earlier today I asked you to tell me which of the following items are real listings on Etsy, and which ones I made up. I have been cackling all morning at your guesses, and the tortured logic you’ve been using to make your decisions.

Let’s start, shall we?

YOUR GUESSES:

“The lipstick stencil is either a fake or a reseller ripoff.”

“I’m going to guess that because it has actual practical use, the lipstick stencil is the fake.”

“I am guessing the Lipstick Stencil Guide is the fake. By the way, I have an average sized penis.”

AND THE ANSWER IS…

YOUR GUESSES:

“The rainwater is the Regretsy because the spelling and punctuation was the closest to proper English.”

“If I was being threatened with a tattooed mustache on an index finger pointed at me, I’d guess the rainwater was the fake.”

“The rainwater is the most obvious choice because it’s just too ridiculous to see on Etsy.”

AND THE ANSWER IS…

YOUR GUESSES:

“Gonna say the Eggshells are real because they show serious misunderstanding about how the internet and the postal service work.”

“The eggshells are too unbelievably stupid to not be real, if that makes sense.”

“FOR FUCK’S SAKE IF YOU CAN’T SPELL ‘AU LAIT’ AT LEAST DO A SEARCH AND LET GOOGLE CORRECT IT FOR YOU, YOU MOUTHBREATHING SIMPLETON.”

AND THE ANSWER IS…

YOUR GUESSES:

“I’m guessing the Regretsy is the matchstick brooch, just because it’s the only one without a misspelling.”

“I’m going to go with the matchstick, because the photography is too good and the description sounds a little too smart to be from Etsy.”

“If it is fake, it won’t be for long. I have a box of matches in the house, and a camera.”

AND THE ANSWER IS…

YOUR GUESSES:

“Clearly the I love dildo T-shirt is fake. If it was a real Etsy listing, there would be dirty hippie vagina somewhere in the picture.”

“If the I <3 Dildo shirt isn't etsy, it really needs to be."

"I think the dildo shirt is Etsy, and I bet it sells surprisingly well."

AND THE ANSWER IS…

YOUR GUESSES:

“The cross stitch pattern is spelled too well to be a real Etsy listing.”

“I don’t think the crucifix cross stitch can be fake. I think she’d have made a better-looking cross.”

“I think the crucifix might be Regretsy, but only because I refuse to believe that someone on the internet is that stupid.”

AND THE ANSWER IS…

Thanks for playing!

Regretsy: Etsy or Regretsy?

Helen Killer — 2012-01-30T20:15:45+00:00

Perhaps the most frequently asked question at Regretsy is this:

Is this shit really for sale?

Sadly, the answer is yes. If there’s one thing I’ve learned over the last 2 years, it’s that People will sell anything (primarily because people will buy anything).

So here’s new game for you:

At least one of these is a real listing on Etsy. At least one is fake.

Which is the Etsy and which is the Regretsy?

Leave your guesses in the comments.

Ugly Overload: A distinctive digit

wombat — 2012-01-30T15:09:00+00:00

The aye-aye is one of the ugliest and strangest of primates. A nocturnal lemur, it has a curious adaptation in the form of an elongated middle finger which is perfect for holding on to a coffee cup - No, wait. There are no paper coffee cups in the wild in Madagascar, so although that fellow at the Duke Lemur Center has found a civilized use for his unique digit, that can't be right, can it?

Right. In fact, what the aye-aye does is use its finger to tap on trees to find cavities within them that might contain tasty grubs. It uses its teeth to dig into the cavity, and then the long finger fishes out the food.

The finger is extremely sensitive to vibrations, and now some scientists have discovered that it has another unusual property. When the aye-aye is searching for food, the finger heats up by several degrees, but is much cooler at other times. In the thermal image, you can see that the finger is black - cooler than the rest of the animal - when it's not in use:

It remains to be determined exactly what the mechanism is for heating and cooling the finger, but as for reason, the researcher says "Like any delicate instrument, it is probably best deactivated when not in use."

So I've been saving a little here, and watching my spending a bit there, and...

I FINALLY GOT MYSELF A DSLR!!

I was going to wait a while longer until I had saved up some more, but then I found out that the NEX (who price-matches, is tax-free, AND has a better extended warranty) was phasing it out, and Best Buy had it on sale for like $180 cheaper. And I've been really trying to get back into photography a bit more seriously, so I jumped on it and bought one, because being fiscally responsible is for chumps, right?! :D

so the point is:

Goodbye 'Birth Control Glasses'

Regretsy: The Handmade Tail

Helen Killer — 2012-01-30T00:30:41+00:00

This post first appeared on Regretsy on February 11, 2011

Last December, I asked you to predict the hottest Etsy trends of 2011.

You came up with some astonishingly good ideas, like flannel hot pants with detachable dinosaur heads, mammy-patterned menstrual pads and of course, gloves that are just fingers.

But if you look carefully at the list of write-in suggestions, you’ll notice something else.

Oh, it was funny all right. But it was just a silly joke! No one would ever actually make such a thing.

Or would they?

Butt plug – human hair

This is a unique piece made as part of a “wedding gift”. A girlfriend gave us her hair shortly after her wedding. She wanted it turned into a flogger. He was enchanted with her offering and decided to take it a step further. We turned her gorgeous locks into a butt plug for his “filly”; to complete the look.

Isn’t that beautiful? It’s like that old Christmas story; she sold her hair to buy him a buttplug, and he sold his ass to buy her a comb.

The hand-turned butt plug is of canary wood. The hair was inserted and sealed into the plug. If you would like to offer you own hair for this or similar products, just give us a call.

Yes, it looks like you people have done it again. True, it’s not on Etsy. But there’s always Monday.

It just goes to show you that whatever ridiculous shit you can think of, someone else is already working on it. And when they’re done, they’re going to stick it up their ass.

...will he ever win?
