I can very much agree with you, now.
Moist never was a word that bothered me much. For some it conjures up images too, um – freaky to post here. Maybe it’s the sound of the word: MOIST. I dunno.
But now, so long as I have an image of this in my brain I will hate the word MOIST.
Because – and I’m sorry, I have to say it – WHAT THE FUCKING FUCK?!
Moist Mother Earth?
Are those maggot-shaped items the ‘abstracted body organs’?
From the listing:
Part Elizabethan gown and part… mushroom bog? It’s Moist Mother Earth, a fiber art/sculpture inspired both by nature and historical costuming.
Um. Ya.
Mushroom bog growing what kind of mushrooms may I ask?
I’ve never been one to elicit very many reactions such as this, and this past day has been alternately alarming, amusing, and illuminating for me.
Alarming? Because of the comments regarding your work of ‘art’?
I think I am alarmed more for you than you could possibly be for me.
Moist Mother Earth is creative melding of Elizabethan clothing, rotting mushrooms, abstracted human body organs, leaves, and other botanical forms.
I just don’t get where ‘rotting mushrooms’ and ‘abstracted human body organs’ come together. Am I missing something? I did take biology class and we covered nothing of the sort.
Is this a dead person? A Zombie?
A royal Elizabethan zombie?
Is the collar supposed to be hair or leaves? Do mushroom bogs have leaves.
I am seriously getting concerned people.
Is that mold on the collar?
Um. Is that even a collar?
OH LOOK! More ‘abstracted body organs’.
Me: “(Son) what does that look like to you?” - he’s three by the way
Him: “Mmmm .. Roast Beef”
Yes. That’s exactly what I was thinking. Roast beef.
I… It… Well… Hmmmm
I am at a loss for words. I am utterly horrifed by this creation.
Not to mention the hefty price tag of 10 THOUSAND DOLLARS.
Seriously? Seriously.
Thanks for sending this one in Adrienne!

And you just *know* the people who make shit like this are absolutely shocked and scandalized when no one buys it. Clearly NO ONE appreciates their ART, man!

Or cat poops.
I can’t stop looking at it though. I am seriously freaked by it.
I think I might need it for Halloween.. but ten grand? I need a Halloween fund now.

ten thousand dollars for a renaissance fair outfit from hell! No wonder the model’s face is covered by the outfit. How else would you get someone to wear it. ever.

See, those are the kind of freaks that give “Artists” a bad name.

This thing isn’t even disturbing, it’s sad. Nothing even remotely looks like it belongs together… like the ‘artist’ (and I use the term loosely) reached into a bargan basement rag bag and started stitching stuff together. Just the quantity of blue, shiny, rip-stop nylon is apalling.
It almost reminds me of the later Saw movies… they were trying for disturbing, but all they got was a bunch of jarring ugly bits that don’t go together.

What a tragic waste of fabric.

… THIS is why parents tell their kids to be lawyers and NOT go to art school.

um…you serve your 3 year old PURPLE roast beef?

I rather like the collar and cap bit.
But sometimes, less is more. Know when to call it a day.

If slipknot had a female member, I would like to think this is what she would wear. F.R.E.A.K.Y.

I think it should glow in the dark. THAT would get ya at least 5k.

I don’t know if Darth Vadar can afford this house frock for his lovely wife.

I imagine if I tried to put that up eyesore in my front yard the neighbors would have their male relatives train their BB guns and shotguns on it for target practice.

Wow, that “artist” sure does think a lot of herself doesn’t she?
$900 for this? http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=21948715
I won’t even go off on the $10k for the monstrosity above!

Bloody hell!
Look, kids, this is what happens when you drink* and craft.
*Or do severely mind altering hallucinogenic drugs. Just say no.

I never thought I could be a professional artist but I could totally do that. And if I didn’t sleep for 3 days, I bet my description could be as esoteric as that one. I swear, if that sells then I am switching careers
