This is some sort of sick joke, right?

Oh, and so would I (even though the shorts might look cuter on me). It's just that neither of them are likely to go home with me. The shorts 'cause they're ugly (ok, and my legs are too skinny), and the Bambi thermal 'cause it's out of my wildest price range.

Since almost all of the other items in the "vintage" aka "crap" line are - imo - ugly as well as outrageously expensive, I don't even have to consider making a purchase. But I'm glad they are stocked at WoD for my amusement. I will laugh every time I walk by.




edited to add: $150 is too much for a limbless Indonesian eunich, though I might consider one without arms for that price.

Ya know, that is really it; what I will pay for anything. I have prices in my mind what I will pay for every single thing I buy. If something is over that I pass. Regardless if I have money coming out of my ears, to quote CP.

As far as the different fashion styles, I used to love doing all of the different trends! That was my fashion. I even had a lumberjack look. Unfortunately in my 'hood it was mistaken for a chola.

I love the different opinons and while I refuse to pay for things like that, I do respect that some people do.

Uh-oh! This isn't THAT thread again is it?

I bought an Olszewski for $300 and when I tried to wash it, it didn't make it once through the spin cycle.

I wish that the Disney gallery still sold collectibles and not "collectibles". Sericels? SHAG? Please.

I'm sure that some people who collect WDCC "sculptures" think that folks who buy these shirts are suckers. Let he who is without sin etc etc.

As would I, but if I were being forced to buy one, I'd buy the Grumpy shorts and wear them to the gym. Fortunatly we can all choose how we spend our money, and what something is worth to us.

Everyone can go round and round on this topic and in the end we'll have to agree to disagree.

So I'm going to focus on something a bit more fun.

iSm would look totally hot in those shorts ;p

I would wear the Grumpy shorts, but more as a warning to others than a fashion statement.

Hey, I'm still pretty much without sin. I bought the shag prints because I wanted to hang it on my walls, not because it's "rebellious", "fashionable", "brand name" or "collectible". In fact, I don't collect anything. I may drool over various stupidly expensive things but I'd never buy them for myself.

I still feel that my biggest spending "sin" is spending money on overpriced DL food....but that's not for the food, it's for the company and ambiance, and worth every penny.

I didn't read the whole thing so I don't know if this was said, but everything I'm hearing is that the replacement store for Hoypoloi will be a Disney-run store to house these high-end clothing lines.

Also, a similar Donald short was worn by one of the red carpet arrivals at the Downtown Disney premiere of Princess Diaries 2 so it really is vintage, just with rhinestones. At least 18 months old. Maybe putting Donald below the text adds $90 in value. Here's my picture (I have no idea who the woman is and neither did any of the other photographers):

The very sight of "princess" shirts make me cringe.
