A shout-out to Regretsy, for brightening my world.

cheez A shout out to Regretsy, for brightening my world.I one posited that there are two kinds of people in this world- ones who think mean people suck and ones who think mean people rule. If you happen to side with the latter, then, boy oh boy what Regretsy has for you. (Listing above is for “regurgitate after opening”)

For those of you who haven’t seen it already, Regretsy posts real listings from Etsy that they deem hideous in some way. I don’t always agree- in fact, I’d consider wearing a wedding dress made out of ties (if I hadn’t already made a Indian-style lehenga choli already- with a glue gun and dozens of sequined appliques, might I add). With mockery of everything bad on etsy.com from the grotesquely obscene paintings- to the unliscensed Twilight crap to the obliviously sincere “artisans” of the plastic cups, glitter, and pop tabs variety- regretsy is a never-ending LOLfest for those who aren’t above cheap mockery.

Regretsy isn’t completely heartless, however, and often buys the very items they mock or sells crafts for charity. They even have developed a friendship with painter Denny Pinkham who became aware of his presence on Regretsy and listed paintings as an hommage to them. How’s that for meta-internet-meme-crafting?

It’s a site that can be entertaining for hours, but I figured I’d post some faves:
1. The “caterpillars taste like raspberries and steak” bracelet!
2. “Hurry up and shave, Al Green’s in town” party set!
3. Life-size creepy Edward Cullen pillow
4. Lady GaGa Embroidered Toilet Paper
5. Even the model can’t hide her contempt for this giant muppet dress!
6. Sooo NSFW. Or children. Expect nightmares, really. Here is… Mittens.
