eBay Members Are a Whole Bucket of Crazy

This is a recent instant message conversation between me and a couple co-workers while we responded to all the usual member email. Does this gullible fool really thing Gucci makes ice cube trays?

Mr. Protection says: Member Message: I'm not sure why I am not able to list ice cube trays by Gucci that are authentic!!!
Wonder-Rachel says: HAHAHAHAHA!!!!
Bruce LeRoy says: I can't believe that gucci makes ice cube trays
Wonder-Rachel says: I DON'T believe that Gucci makes ice cube trays.
Mr. Protection says: lol, me neither
Mr. Protection says: what's next... blenders?
Bruce LeRoy says: Hey can I sell my Coach ice pick?
Wonder-Rachel says: omg - I'm crying over here
Mr. Protection says: Yes, yes you can!
Mr. Protection says: Right after I sell my Burberry salad bowl!
Wonder-Rachel says: You get all the good ones, I swear. It's like you're a freak magnet.
Mr. Protection says: That explains all the women I've ever dated then, huh?

Ugliest hat ever

I know I don't update often, but yesterday I came across some great eBay items I had to share. These hats are so hideous I can't imagine someone buying them from a yard sale! They're both vintage Christian Dior and the seller had them both listed for just under $100 to start. EACH! Now, I don't care what the name on the label says, I am NOT going to wear a bunch of nasty tacky bird wings on my head! And I'm certainly not going to pay a hundred bucks to do it! Check this ugliness out:

Seriously. I'm wondering if the seller was hoping the ugliness of the mannequin would distract buyers from the ugliness of the hat. The second hat isn't quite as bad in a sort of I-don't-think-I'd-be-sent-straight-to-hell-if-I-showed-up-in-church-wearing-this kind of way (as I would surely be banished to the fires of hell in the bird-wing hat),

Yes, it's not as hideous, but it looks so cheap and swap-meat-esque, I can't believe it bears the Christian Dior label, but that I saw it myself.

So will someone comment on those velvet ribbons tied around the wings? WHAT is up with that?
