Who would want to own this?

[Blumf]

Well obviously

Oooooo, society won't like that!

[non capisco]

Barry Cryer's looking well.

[Ferris]

Fingerless gloves just put this over the top for me.

[seepage]

tat like this used to turn up on the Four Rooms TV programme. iirc there usually had to be a celebrity connection so Jens & Ulf would have had to glue some of David Beckham's nasal hair to it or something

[non capisco]

'Doobie doobie do' update : - it appears someone has bought it.

There's gonna be a fan of the Rat Pack in South East London having to seriously feign some delight on Monday morning.

How could this "Naughty angel" be any naughtier!?!?



Well obviously


Two and a half grand each.

[seepage]

yes, they've probably stencilled a 31 on the back

[Ron Maels Moustache]

Those fucking vile characature models of the blue's brothers, or absolutely anything with betty boop

Similarly those incredibly racist-looking jazzmen statuettes that I've seen some people have in their front windows. Genuinely quite appalling.

I think your right but for a certain type of rich person. Whenever I see something like this furniture online, or expensive houses that look shit, or expensive cars painted gold or silver, it's almost always for people who have come into money in their life time and seem to think this sort of purchase will show their wealth and\or status. Reminds me of a program on channel 4 this year, can't remember the actual name of it, but it concerned a bloke who built 'super houses'. This bloke just built, what looked to me, like a load of fancy bits he had seen in hotels stuck together and decided this constituted a house. That twatty furniture above would have bee right up his street. He had 'made himself' and those who he sold to were the same. People who come from families who have had wealth for a long time tend not to (still some will) give that a moments thought, they already have institutions that they almost always buy anything from, your Sotheby's, Harrod's and Savile Rows for e.g.

See that's what annoys me most if all about people with lots of money, how they waste it on useless shit. In principle I don't mind people having money, it's good to buy useful things, have some luxury, have great experience and have security for the future. Good luck to them, I wish it was me.

I really resent though when it's wasted. In my benevolent fascist dictatorship run by me fantasy ideal world, any purchases would be run through a 'is this really worth it, is it though?' AI system based on my values and would be automatically rejected if the value it brings is not proportionate to the cost.

Why is Karl Lagerfeld on a skateboard?

[seepage]

I thought my aunt was going to leave me a few hundred quid but instead they bequeathed me an 8 foot faux African wood statue of a couple making very explicit sweet sweet love, which used to take pride of place in their bay window. Managed to take it down the tip and scarper without too much tittering from the staff   

[idunnosomename]

Why is Karl Lagerfeld on a skateboard?

it is actually meant to be Karl Lagerfeld. Its one of dozens of paints of the same model. Not sure if they have permission to use Chanel logo etc. They have stuff like KISS and Spider-Man paints too.

[Bentpitch]

There's this very shitty NFT quality to them, isn't there. They don't mean anything.

[famethrowa]

My local hairdressers has these fellas, life size, in their front window. I made some comment about them and they don't even know who they are! Just thought they "looked cool". They don't even know about the cheese whiz; who actually played keyboards on the soundtrack; the crimes of John Landis; what band Cropper and Dunn were in; where the mall chase was filmed..... shameful.

Anything HMV sells other than music and films.
Posters get a partial pass - got to cover up dents in the walls of your shitty student rental with something.

To be fair to HMV, they have an interesting book section and some decent exploding kittens expansion kits

[Theoretical Dentist]

absolutely anything with betty boop

There's a long-running dispute over Betty Boop-related intellectual property, which I think is still unresolved, so for any piece of Boop merchandise there's probably someone who claims it was made illegally or at least thinks they shoul dbe making money from it. Among the questionably-licensed Boop items is an awful, far-right-dogwhistling NFT collection which is how I first became aware of the dispute.

[Oh, Nobody]

Those fucking vile characature models of the blue's brothers, or absolutely anything with betty boop

There's a bar in Doncaster with life-size versions of those Blues boys outside, locked up every night for safety. Until recently there was a shop that seemingly only sold Betty Boop tat and bongs so I guess the answer to "Who are these for?" is "Doncastrians"

[Goldentony]

I hate tiny Karl Lagerfeld

[jobotic]

I hate tiny Karl Lagerfeld

Too radical for ya?

[Goldentony]

HOW DO YA LIKE YA TOINY KARL LAGERFELD MATE

[idunnosomename]

they're also surprisingly unprecise what they're made out of. they say "poly resin stone" which basically means stone dust bound together with synthetic resin. for a couple of grand I'd probably want to know how much it weighs, how durable it is, etc. do wonder what their master mould for the naughty angel is made from.

I'd forgotten they sell books, fair enough.

[dontpaintyourteeth]

The HMV near where my ma lives has closed, where am I going to get American sweets / Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas in paperback / an action figure of the clown from Spawn now

saw this when I went for a piss at my in-laws on Christmas. It's from somewhere called Punk Haus.

[Goldentony]

Love the idea of you harassing some techbro with a pair if Deal With It meme glasses on like he's a Saturday boy at B&Q

IS THAT THE WIDTH OR THE CIRCUMFERENCE OF THAT STATUE?! I KNOW IT SAYS ITS SUITABLE FOR OUTDOORS, BUT WHAT IP RATING IS IT?? SURELY YOU HAVE A COSHH SHEET AVAILABLE FOR IT SOMEWHERE?

They used to be in the window of the Blue Note bar in Jersey. Gone, the last time I visited.
