This is some sort of sick joke, right? - Page 2

I saw some of those shirts in January. They had a really cool one with Animal from the Muppets. I think that one was around $150.

Bedazzler anyone?

Well, yep, I saw these back in December myself {unless it was earlier}. So, they must be selling if they still have them out at those prices.

I agree, at other stores with similar prices, not a surprise.

But, while the family we browsing through the WOD and saw those, at first we were shocked and then we laughed our a$$es off. Who-T-F would pay that much for those cheaply made shirts?

Really, and this is my 'starving kids in China' upbringing shining through...It is wasteful to pay that much for a shirt. I think the money would be better spent even just to invite a couple of kids who never get to go and pay their way.

But that's me.

ABSOLUTELY. Mrs. Pod and I were all over these shirts at WOD. I would've love them more if I had seen them in a store in Tokyo. But, at least the cool factor is higher.

Yep! That's Disney Merchandising for ya! They gave us the heads up on this particular line of merchandise last month. They call it the "Vintage" line. From the looks of them, I'm still trying to figure out who's garage sale the shirts came from.

I really can't believe they expect to have a market for them. I suspect I'll be seeing these shirts in the Company D store at the end of the year.

On a strange tangent, I saw a Bedazzler commercial on late night cable just a couple of days ago. I guess they figure that it will make a comeback into fashion again. I'm sure somewhere in Ally's closet her Bedazzler is calling her name... "Aaaaaally... AAAAAAlly!"

I saw that a month or so ago. The best part was when they were showing side-by-side comparisons between designer items and the "same" item made with the Bedazzler...and the Bedazzler version was clearly crappier. At least they were being honest.

I'd gladly pay about $20 for the Bambi or MSEP shirts

I totally hear it calling her name.

Hey! I've got a Bedazzler!

Thats more then the cost of addmission to Disneyland.

LSPoorEeyorick · 03-13-2006, 06:20 AM

Don't I remember something about Fred Segal shirts being sold IN Disneyland/WOD? When I saw those shirts and those pricetags last week, I just assumed they WERE the FS shirts.

Cadaverous Pallor · 03-13-2006, 09:52 AM

Crap, didn't get a pic of my favorite - a shirt covered in gold puffy paint splotches with a badly drawn Kermit on the back. It looked like it was made by a child - a messy, untalented child.

No matter how rich I'll ever be, I'd never purchase most of those shirts, because they are UGLY. There was maybe one that I partially liked but I'd still be hard pressed to spend $10 on it, due to shoddy construction and borderline taste. Most are completely hideous junk.
