ATTENTION FURRIES!! This plush teddy bear with an oversized handcrafted vagina is being sold on Etsy.com for only $35. Regretsy is my new favorite blog.
Stitching just made you gay. Are we nuts, or does it look like she's birthing Groucho Marx?
Stephen Colbert's worst nightmare. [Editor's Note: And they're on sale! You probably need one of these pretty urgently.]
Regretsy is filled with crafts listed on Etsy that pretty much have no business being sold for real money. Check out the great Frida Kahlo Uterus Plushie, Michael Jackson Baseball, Pokemon Menstrual Pad. I know where I'm getting my awkward white elephant office gifts!
Artist Lauren Gregg has a whole collection of nerdy animal illustrations. All of which are impossibly cute. This here is the Record Store Nerd, and I'm pretty sure I'm friends with about 8 of these in real life. Click through to view more, or look at her prints over at Etsy. (via)

Food Buzz A seller on Etsy has crafted vegan soaps made from Pabst and Guinness. This is probably the last thing you want to bathe yourself with the morning after a vomitous night of binge drinking. But for any of you who have ever looked at a keg and wished you were soaking in it, bathing with beer soap might be the next best thing.
Food Buzz Designers and crafters are producing creative alternatives to cardboard Java Jackets. The designs range from a wooden cuff that doubles as a bracelet to knitted and patchwork sleeves with pockets. I wonder how long until Louis Vuitton and Gucci get in on the action.
