WTF Wednesday: Craft Fails, Crochet Pants, Wrestling

Hellllllo WTF Wednesday! 

Let's begin with a few major Craft Fails.  A couple of weeks ago, the lovely Jessica over at A Day in the Life of One Girl ran a contest and I was the lucky winner of a funny book called Craft Fail: When Homemade Goes Horribly Wrong.

This book is WTF Wednesday come to life. It shows pictures of beautifully done crafts, next to wretched attempts to copy those crafts. (See, eg, Jessica's spray painted high heels). 

Here are a couple examples of the ridiculousness.  Shark Week Cupcakes. Ummmmm? 

Bad Bunny Cake. Errrrr?

 And here are some Craparons. 

I would still eat them! It's not all baking - there are people trying to make hats, wreaths, candles, and more, all with very little success. It's a sweet, lighthearted book that would make anybody smile. 

Moving along to some more crocheted glory from the Good Housekeeping Needlecraft Magazine 1973. 

Interlocking Stitch Pants! 

Wonder why crochet knit swimsuits never took off. 

Perfect for the beach - afghan blanket with a drawstring waist. Why is she stepping on the fence?

I love the fuzzy look!

Here's a story out of Florida about a man who took his clothes off in a CVS and tried to sleep on some dog beds. I think we can all relate to that.

Last but not least, this is a reader-submitted bit WTF-ery coming from LindZ. The picture is NSFW, so click if you wish: some kind of wrestling thong 'underwear.'

As with all wtf wednesdays, there are no answers, only questions leading to more questions.

widespread puppy

if you ever want to be popular, walk a puppy through the lobby of a westin hotel at 1 AM on new years eve.

we went to charlotte for widepsread panic on wednesday and sugarhoney came with us. she was the star of the city.

while walking her past the nascar hall of fame, a cop drove by, leaned her full torso out the window, gave a thumbs up, and yelled "that is the best dog ever!"

kevin carried her on the elevator to avoid her scaring people in their fancy clothes.  a cop in the lobby saw this and said, "uh oh, is that dog too drunk to walk?"

dozens of people passing by stopped, turned around, and squealed "PUPPY!!!" to each other, asking to pet her. she just wagged her tail, cool as a cucumber.

one kind young man flyyyiiiiiing high on new years spirit on the full elevator grabbed her ears (lovingly), got nose to nose with her and yelled "YOU ARE JUST THE CUTEST LITTLE FUCKER!!!!!!"

the show was excellent, the band sounded great, the setlist was thoughtful, uplifting, and everybody was having a good time...



it was an awesome way to ring in the new year. 

best wishes for a healthy and happy 2015 to all! 

WTF Wednesday: Castration, Swans, Opera

It's the last WTF Wednesday of the year - WTF?!

Let's begin with a billboard on Tunnel Road in East Asheville. 

Don't Castrate Your Best Friend! NoCastration.org. I will let you draw your own conclusions on this. I do see some validity. But then again...WTF?! 

Here is a fun golf game complete with 6 hazard trees. The only thing you need is a club! 

Anyone care for a mutant chicken wing? 



She looks way too happy to be giving a flu shot. 

Here's a lovely enormous beige swan sculpture which also holds your pens. 

Two pens. 

A wonderful 4 CD set of Opera for People Who Hate Opera. 

Surround sound, because if there's one thing you want when you're listening to music you hate, it's to be completely surrounded by the music you hate. 

Last but not least is Sugarrascal. She ran through the house with the toilet paper still attached to the wall, chewed a little pile into confetti, and finished with some chewing on Pouncey's food bowl on a dog bed.

WTF Wednesday: Thrashing, Churning, and Caroling

Happy Wednesday! Happy WTF!

Let us begin with a question to modern society - when did it become acceptable (mandatory?) to wear head to toe black and only black? Every piece of clothing and luggage these people were wearing was black. 

 I know I dress like a pinata, but come on.

Here's some lovely hotel art signed by the photographer - Janet van Arsehole.

 Moving along to perennial favorites - 60's record albums!  The Thrasher Brothers - 

 Are Coming Your Way!

And Are Turning it On!

These people are seriously churning butter.

And The Vicksburg

 In Nashville, in white shoes, next to a river.

This looks like an interesting book. 

Gotta read it to find out which part.

Lastly some holly jolly holiday decorations.

Pretty much sums up my feelings about the holidays.

 Are you caroling, or are you barfing to death? Hard to say!

WTF Wednesday: holidaze

Just like that, Wednesday has reappeared. 

If only a bunch of WTF would magically reappear along with it, but alas, WTF  requires me to physically go hunting for it, and this week has been too holiday rushed for that to come close to happening. 

Instead, look at this Snoopy doll.

He is being offered for sale from my friend Fresh to Death Vintage. I think he is a Boy George Snoopy - "Colour by Numbers" era?  karma karma karma karma karma chameleon!

Another WTF selection from my good friend Robin Egg Surprise.

 Perverted Christmas Mice. 

That's it for this week, hope to be back at full force by next WTF Wednesday! Until then, SH Vintage is open 24/7 with no crowds and no waiting - shipping every day!
