Holy fuggin' shit!

Someone on Ebay is calling this a Viking costume.

Words fail me.

Fugly Gowns

Welcome to an irksome little website...

The creator of 'glory gowns' thoughtfully fails to provide examples of her own work for anything but her Renaissance section.  So, what are we left with?  Fantasy clothes based on the LotR film's Arwen.  Okay, fair enough, though I'd like to see some of her own much-touted velvet dresses instead of what looks like a CD cover for the movie soundtrack.  But then, oh dear, we've got Medieval clothing based on Eowyn.  So, let me get this straight.  She's taking designs for two different genres from the same source, which is unabashedly a fantasy film.  If she thinks Eowyn's dresses are any more Medieval than Arwen's, she is very much mistaken.

Oh, and her Renaissance gowns are truly a marvel of shimmery chemises, strapless overdresses, and lace-up arm treatments.  She has, in addition, offered them in faux-suede and corduroy versions.  I'm left wondering why she doesn't just admit that these are Renaissance-inspired fantasy whatsits, in a sort of upscale take on the wenchwear tradition.

Or is it possible that she thinks these things are accurate?  If she does, I'd really love to see her sources.

Faux Pas!

Found on Ebay...

Contrasting front panel with lacing.  Princess seams.  Gathers at neckline.  Modern prints.  Crushed velvet.

Gothic, maybe.  Renaissance / Medieval / SCA?  Hell, no.

I found the Scapa whiskey, I found the Scapa! One lasht posht of the ebay results for the search 'medieval'.







Yes, that is a t-shirt. No, I didn't upload the wrong image by mistake. Yes, it was labelled medieval. No, I don't know why.

Drinkies!

At least these are dresses and not lingerie, right? That's good, right?







Maybe not as good as it could have been. This is the fug that never ends, yes it goes on and on my friends...

I have to admit, I did not expect this to take a turn for the raunchy.







I need a drink to forget. Why isn't there anything to drink around here?

Oh, Ebay. You so crazy. Found by boldly searching 'medieval':







It's not that I don't have better things to do with my time, because I certainly do...
