Happy Thanksgiving!

Happy Thanksgiving to all!

Not a long post today, just a little something to mark the occasion. I'd write more, but I'm too chocked full of tryptophan and contentment to bother. Now, if you're not American and don't celebrate the holiday, then I just hope you've had a great Thursday. If you haven't, then I hope this horrific, holiday hat puts a smile on your face. I think disastrously amazing knitwear is something we can all be thankful for, regardless of nationality. Gobble gobble everyone!

The High Cost of Fashion...

Oh, Etsy...

Now, from what I can gather by reading the description of this, it's a custom piece, and you can have one made specifically for your um, needs. Now, I'm certainly not impugning the skill it took to create...this, but the cost for this particular piece is $650.

Six hundred and fifty dollars.

 Six hundred? Fine, who would pass up that deal, but six fifty? Sir, you go too far! Oh well, if you have some insatiable need to have the Energizer bunny traveling through Mario world along with a disgruntled Gummi Bear and a pink...thing emblazoned on your chest, then I suppose no price is too high.


The Fader

"Well, it won't keep you warm, and the neck hole will actually allow your whole body to slip through it, causing embarrassing, if highly comical moments, but I promise you, it's the height of fashion."
I have no idea what either of these cost, but I will assume "too much."

 Fashion is Stupid
That pretty much covers my thoughts, and by the looks of his face, his too.

You'll notice in that first photo that I've added a...uh, a "crotchular addition." You see, that particular pair of pants comes in 'anatomically correct,' and while that's all well and good, I don' t want to bother with any kind of mature ratings on the blog. Now, I suppose those pants would be alright if you were say, a Ken doll, but I don't think most guys want to go walking around with a fake set of dangly bits bopping around in front of them. What's the price for one of these gems? Your dignity.

Oh, and yeah, apparently all of that is manly high fashion. I know the one on the top right just makes my heart go all a twitter.

Anyway, if you must, click the link for the full Monty.

I like to call this one "December on Bourbon Street."  I suppose if it's a little too nipply, er, nippy outside you could still give the illusion of showing off the goods. You know, I'm thinking a specific pair of pants paired with this sweater could make for a really confusing outfit. Manoush says it can be yours for only £130. As far as the design? I will never believe this wasn't intentional. My only question is why they chose 'pancake on a nail' for placement?

...and that's all I got.

...except for this...which, I actually, really, really like.

That's Just...Yeah. Well, That's Just Weird.

Alien meets Care Bear...

...Meets Kitty Pryde from X-Men.

Phong, the fella wearing this, is the creator. Either he's a lot of fun at the office and everyone is excited to see what mad-capped shenanigan he'll come up with next, or he's on the company watch list.

Winnie Cooper

...And so the seemingly innocuous Snuggie proves to be a parasitic life form. Clearly the host has been overcome by the creature, and is in the process of being absorbed.

Children of the NES, don't you dare tell me you don't see the resemblance.

Ah, the 70s, it was a simple time. A time when it was OK to have a little soft-core porn on your sweater, and the image on this afternoon delight, practically purrs, "let's get it on." Who could resist that bold and manly Afro, that bright yellow, wide collared shirt? Certainly not his well knit lady. She never stood a chance. Wear that vintage treasure proudly young man. I hope you had it cleaned first, and by cleaned, I mean soaked in penicillin.

I'm not saying this isn't kind of cool. I'm just saying it's weird. Kye Crow, pictured here, has a store on Etsy, and in that store, she has some pretty sweet clothes. (seriously.) Click the link and check it out. I bet if you could turn the 60s into an outfit, it would look like this. See you at Burning Man!

You bet it is kid. You bet it is. (Are you a young Mark Harmon?)

The Craft Begins
The irony. 
OH, THE IRONY!

OK, so this isn't a sweater...and I'm pretty sure it's made out of leather. I hope it's made out of leather. (It rubs the lotion on its skin...) It was just too good/weird not to post. I wonder if they make these in all body types? Can you buy one in an "overweight, hairy guy" style, or "prison tat"? What about another ethnicity? Is there a girl version? Would you be arrested for wearing it, uh, au natural? So many questions! Is it even real? IS IT EVEN REAL?

*Sigh...moving on...

Marikaart on Deviant Art
This is weird, but in the best way possible. Marikaart on Deviant Art has managed to combine two amazing themes into this piece named Trio. Harry Potter and ugly sweaters...oh, how I love it when worlds collide! Those sweaters are just supermegafoxyawesomehot!

TOTALLY!!! ...wut?

from asparagus

I never really knew there was a voyeuristic side to knitting.

From Weekendmovies

OK, this kid...WOW! He's got a good take on the judges, but what really sticks with you is the last 10 seconds. (It'll be a HUGE hit in Germany!)
