do you need help with idealizing

Nov 30, 2009 16:18

I'm not usually into Regretsy. I tend to think that the snarky commentary is not as funny intentionally as the items they showcase are funny accidentally. And that's kind of my rule of thumb as far as mockery humor goes: if you can't add humor that's funnier than the funny awful thing is already on its own, then... maybe just shut up and get out of the way of the funny awful thing.

The other thing I'm not crazy about with Regretsy is that the writer is either thoughtless or feigning ignorance for "comic" purposes. They've posted wondering why there are so many vagina and breast themed crafts available on Etsy, as if they've never heard of the entire Stitch-n-Bitch, Cool Bad Girl's guide to crotch crochet, hip edgy new crafting scene that Etsy exists to monetize. Come on. Of course a new generation of mostly female crafters who're making a point of breaking from a fussy-grandma image of the past are going to seize on the Vagina Monologues trend in pop culture and make boob and vag themed items as an expression of post-girl-power pride (or cash-in thereon.)

Huh, okay, I had a bigger rant about that bottled up than I realized.

But! This "item" is so funny, and the commentary is so well-tuned, that I'm linking to it anyway. And maybe this portends a sharper Regretsy. That would be cool.

Do you need help with new Ideals... Also Please understand this and remember that know question or questions are to dum to ask... I will help you with new Ideals with your existing Items in your shop, like enhancing your items if needed, or just enhancing your items to give a little add on, to give it a different look.

Obviously, this is the person to ask about Etsy marketing. Not only is she an amazing communicator, her Etsy shop has a whopping 45 sales. Do you understand what I am saying.
