This is some sort of sick joke, right?
 

Late Friday, we took a stroll the WOD. Zapppop and I spotted an interesting shirt for sale. It was a plain white t-shirt, with a photograph of the Main Street Electrical Parade (yes, Main Street, not "Disney's") silk screened on the front, and a Disney script "D" in rhinestones in the corner. Literally, something I could have made at home with an iron and a Bedazzler. Literally.

Then Zappp spotted the price tag. And then we spotted the price tage of a few similar items around it. How much would you pay for the shirt described above?

What about this one?



This?



Go on, take a wild, crazy guess as to the price. I'll even let you know that the Bambi one is of slighly better material than the t-shirt material of the MSEP one I described and the Donald one.

$25? $30? $50??

Well, you can own the MSEP shirt for the low, low price of....$70. Yes, $70.

But wait. Here's a photographs of the Bambi tag.



Okay, when you're done laughing/crying/screaming, check out the Donald tag.



It's a freaking t-shirt! And those rhinestones ain't cutting glass any time soon! I'm still in a little bit of shock.

And the rhinestones are *glued* on?

Didn't check whether they were glued or sewn.

I hadn't realised tacky could be so profitable.

We should have taken more pictures - each shirt was worse than the last.

I'm speechless...

But you didnt take a picture of the Alice one! Or the Tinkerbell one... those... are the kickers.

Good lord. I thought the sticker shock would have worn off by now.

The Bambi shirt (and a few others) are made of a thin thermal (Think $5-%10 range) material. I didn't think to look at the necklace. Maybe that was gold or platinum? Only way I can think of to justify the cost.

Hey guys, I'm sorry to be laughing - but you really ought to see the prices of couture stuff. This is nothing -- nothing compared to the prices for some stuff you'll see upstairs at Fred Segal. Seriously. I've seen some Dolce & Gabbana Disney t-shirts that go for $300. I saw a Beagle Boys one I really liked...

If I saw these shirts in Fred Segal or D&G for $300 I wouldn't be shocked. I expect exorbant prices at those stores. And while I expect overpriced merchandice at DL this was a bit over the top. If these shirts were $40-$60 at DL I wouldn't be suprised. But starting at $70 for a theme park shirt... zoinks.
