Cream of the Cropped on eBay

June 22, 2008 by WendyB

While browsing eBay, this graphic, cropped jacket from Versace’s Versus line caught my eye. Gorgeous jacket, right? However, I don’t like that the seller used “Gianni Versace” in the title of the listing and saved the “Versus” information for the description. The title could have easily said “Versace Versus,” which would have been honest while…

Does Anyone Have Orangutan Arms?

May 13, 2008 by WendyB

I got a kick out of the seller’s description of this sweater on eBay. “I’m not even sure where to begin the description of this sweater. It’s a nubby off-white acrylic knit, and was apparently made for either a Yeti, or a knuckle-dragging caveman. The sleeves hang way down past the bottom of the sweater….
