Shag...it just doesn't end...
 

Here's more stuff you're going to go broke over.

He's doing another signing.

$400 for the LE map. Jeez!

The map is the one thing I'd consider getting an LE of - and only because I have all of the DL maps, but I'm not really sure I'm going to go for it. I have quite a few other things I would rather do.

I DID, however, buy the Frontierland Western Shirt, which is really cool.

I <3 that pillow so much. WANT!!!

I like the Shag stuff, but it has just become a little bit too Ikea for me to actually want any of it.

(Ikea in the ubituitous sense, not in the economically designed and you have to put it together when you get home sense.)

I was thinking more along the lines of Kinkade- I like Shag's stuff as well, but he needs to be careful or the market is gonna be saturated and the value will drop.

Well, at least underlying the turn off of mass production I like the Shag stuff, so I can understand how it would become too popular.

The appeal of Kinkade is completely lost on me, however.

He paints light, man! Lot's of it! And it's on everything.

I am married to a man whose idea of great art is Kinkade.

It hurts. It really does.

That his idea of art is Kinkade, or that we are picking on Kinkade?

We have several early Kinkade litho's- very nice, actually. He's just gone overboard in the mass-production area.

Bleh, I never liked Kinkade's style. I totally get the comparison between Shag and Kinkade in terms of mass-marketing, but I just love Shag's style so much that I don't care. When I first heard of him, I had no idea he was well known in any way. Just saw the stuff he was doing for Disney and thought it was cool. I never conisdered anything other than what it is, pop graphic art. But it's damned good pop graphic art.

But even I'm shagged out. Actually, I'm pretty Disney-arted out at the moment. 5 prints plus a map reproduction is MORE than enough for our tiny place.

Yeah, I'm Shagged out, too. I love the new color of the Adventureland shirt I saw at the Park over the weekend, but I was wearing my "old" color shirt of the same pattern at the time ... bringing home the message of why I should not buy that shirt. Bah on subsequently releasing a more pleasant color of the same frelling shirt.

And much as I love the Frontierland shirt, and am tickled by the concept of a shirt for each of the five original lands, I just cannot see me ever wearing the westernwear. Hawaiian shirts? I'm all over 'em. Bowling shirts? They're great (though the Tomorrowland shirt is cut more like a smock). Country Western, however, is where I must draw the graphic line.

Me too! :D

Okay, where did this double post come from? :rolleyes:

See, I like the Western shirt because it is so over the top! I will wear that one with some really cute other items so it looks 50's western. I can't wait. If only I had shoes.........

Did somebody say shoes?!?!

*waves hands at feet*

Time for someone to visit a Boot Barn for some totally cool Tony Lama's to go with the shirt.

I agree with iSm on the Western shirt- very high hurl factor there. Of course, I live in an area where it would be considered haute coutere.

I usually hate western shirts but I saw this one in person and I actually wanted it.

I have no clue where I'd wear it though...except Disneyland :rolleyes:

I get what you guys are saying about overexposure....but LOOK AT THAT PURSE! I haven't bought a purse yet... :evil:

Actually, I know I'll be broke after we get back from Paris, so no purse for me.

I'll make sure not to wear it around you then. Wouldn't want you to throw up on it.

We could wear ours together and be the Queasy Sisters. ;)

Sorry, but it's difficult, living in a cowtown and despising country crap. You should have seen me the other day at work when a bitchy co-worker tried to put the radio on country music. She did it just to piss me off, and she succeeded. She won't do it again.

It's been years since I've hurled on clothing, btw.

Well, I am in the land of "who/what is Shag?". But it didn't stop my DH from getting the 5 land prints in the really neat frames that I got for my birthday! :cool: My family/game room never looked so cool!

I can sympathize. I live in the land where Olive Garden is the best Italian food.

Country music at work would drive me batty.

Well, the Frontierland shirt is clearly a girl's shirt. I'm glad I didn't buy it, as gay as I am.

In terms of size, I think you might be right. I tried on the "Large"-sized Frontierland Shag shirt and it was instantly clear that it was much smaller than a normal men's large shirt. So, I didn't buy it.

There should be only two additional Shag "original lands" shirts--Fantasyland and Main Street U.S.A.--still to be released, right?

Yes, the shirt is a girls shirt. The buttons even go the girley way.

Oooh! Girlie western-style shirt! I can annoy Ryan with it! And then I'd need a hat to match...

I'm not sure if this counts but there's a Fantasyland girly t-shirt available (it has Dumbos on it). It's not the pricey embroidered stuff, though, so I expect they'll have a good pricey one eventually.

I am SOOOOOOOOO buying that purse.......

Yes, the purse, the purse...
