This is some sort of sick joke, right?

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

Listen, edgy or not ... these clothes are poorly made, of shoddy construction, and look to fall apart upon the first washing. I find most of them ugly, but some of them not (the Bambi comes to mind), but they are all cheap pieces crap that made me laugh outfreaking loud when I saw the price tags.

It's not the price alone. I could have walked 10 feet further at WoD and found more expensive items. It's value. $150 for a piece of (reproduced) art, or $150 for the crappiest tshirt I've ever seen stitched together by limbless Indonesian eunichs? Which will you choose?

And, there is the matter of preference. Personally, I would prefer to wear a somewhat edgy Bambi shirt, cheap or not, than the light grey sweat shorts with the word GRUMPY on the ass that were on the next rack over. But, I think the GRUMPY ass shorts wouldlook cute on you, ISM.

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.

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

Would you pay $150 for a limbless Indonesian eunich?

Don't you do that everytime you shop at Walmart?

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.

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.
