Funny Recent Ebay Finds - Part 1

I'm not going to testify that I've never shopped for apparel through ebay, last I remember I put in a winning bid for a vintage bicycle jersey and the seller in Italy grew anxious. I give him points for dedication, he did constantly try to remind me through e-mail, I just got bored of it all. Where the hell am I going to wear a vintage bicycle jersey from Italy?
-Now my Italian is horrendous, so in his last email he either told me to go f--k myself or he said something about fuzzy donuts that smell very chicken

... yeah...I think he told me to go f--k myself.
I digress... I present you items I've found recently on ebay, hold on to your mammalian hats:

Louis Vuitton Mink Fur Cap
So you can keep your melon warm, and look good during your next conquest into Eastern Anatolia.

Fennix Custom Made Alligator Jacket
Where the hell are you going to wear this? A soft opening for a boutique restaurant in the JUNGLE? You might impress the hippos, but as much as I tolerate other people's fashion choices, I might LOL at the sight of you slithering down 2nd. Ave.
All you need is a pair of Chanel sunglasses and you'll look like a Sleestak.[...crickets chirping]... guys don't tell me I'm the only one that remembers The Land Of The Lost.

Anyway here is another view of this reptilian hide in case the front was not repulsive enough.

If you insist, Lizard King, here is the ebay page

Black Russian

• 1 3/4 oz vodka
• 3/4 oz Kahlua

PREPARATION:

1. Build the ingredients in an old-fashioned glass filled with ice.
2. Stir well.

Zilli Black Russian Squirrel Fur Jacket
$4,000

The description from the seller writes:
100% Black Russian Squirrel fur lining - super rare fur, not found in North America...

super rare---as opposed to those legions of pesky Cosmopolitan Cocktail Squirrels you find at every girl's night out.

Forget that it's made out of a rodent, it's ugly, and I mean Sean John Fall 2008 ugly. (click here for elaboration/ Sean John post)





How's that, huh? Make you feel warm and toasty? Thank God the fur lining is at least removable.

If I'm going squirrel, at least I'd hope for something stylish. Then, maybe, those cold lonely nights in Central Park with a net in one hand and a bag of peanuts in the other would justify the frostbite and gang rapes.

Anyway, if you must cover yourself rodent here is the ebay listing.

Versace Tiger Print Pony Fur Coat

They're Gr-r-r-r-r-reat!
Is it a tiger, is it a pony?... maybe it's a phony!

Gorigo Armini Trench Coat
...wait, did you say Gorigo Armini?

..."This is a 100% authentic Gorigo Armani full length coat size XXL in black. This coat is a couple of years old and very lightly worn. and in excellent condition"
