Here we are, a crime against leather and foxes alike.

Places fox fur does not belong:

The ocean.
Guernsey (there are no foxes on the isle of Guernsey).
All over a leather jacket. WTF?

It's like someone took a sort of ugly leather jacket and decided to "improve" it by putting a fox vest over it.

It must be fall. Get out your bad jean jackets.

Here, on sale from Cerry5354, we have a green satin disaster. This is like a castoff from that scene in Return to Oz when Dorothy had to touch everything that was green to bring Oz back to life or something, I don't know, I was only half watching by that point because that Rock dude really freaked my shiz out. And the flying moose box. WTF, moose box? Anyway, all the stuff that was green in that scene was like, really awkwardly and sort of aggressively green. Like this jacket.

Also, can we take a moment to appreciate the fact that Dorothy was played by Fairuza Balk? Thanks.

Wowza. These shoes are astronomically out of control. Not only will they make you 6 inches taller (we think; the shoes measure 8 inches from top to bottom at the back), but they also look like they are made of spaceship scraps.

Perhaps they were designed specifically for outer space. Perhaps there are lasers mounted inside for battling evil moon-critters and martians. Check out the scalloping on the bottom of these shoes. Perhaps they are weighted, to aid with gravitational issues. You could totally dig into some extra terrestrial terrain in these bad boys.

The best part of the listing:
"Not for the faint-of-heart but your friends will love them. Not worn."

This pretty much tells us everything we need to know about the owner's situation. Clearly, she was out shopping with friends and saw these shoes, and was like "oh my god you guys, I have to try those on."

Imagine this hat stand on your shelf.

We bet those baleful eyes follow you all around the room. We bet you'd have nightmares if you saw him in the dark from your bed as you tried to sleep. Of course you would. He's a mean little boy with a vengeance only impalement can provoke, and he's watching.

Holy cow.

Holy cows. Holy grandma sweater with cows on it.

Holy grandma sweater with cows that look like they're doin' it on it.

Behold the lame!

The accented 'e' is not on our keyboards...it's so wrong but so right.

The outrageous item above is for sale from Cozettescloset--now there's a production of Les Miserables we'd like to see!

Colleen123pitbulls has an unusual article of clothing here that can be yours for 99 cents! Catch: it's fugly.

There's something oddly Britney Spears about it, something about the flesh tone with spangles. Everyone remembers this hot mess of a moment at the VMAs, right? At least on Britney it didn't have the "unusual long frays" that look like Ace Bandages.

This is an odd pairing of belts. One says "I'm non-threatening and fun, even if perhaps behind the times" and the other says "I'm into random pieces of metal." Why Fairiesupthecreek is selling these together, we can't say. We can say we don't think you want either of them.

First of all, there's the issue of the picture: Belts hanging from a tree by a dirt road. What does that say about their wear and tear? May have been damaged by grazing deer? May have slight imperfections due to nearby frolf?

Here's what the listing says about the Blair Witch belt formation.

Someone put a face on a belt buckle again, which, as we have stated before is a terrible idea. This time, it's not just a half face. It's a whole face. And it's spooky.

This is a Lynne Dorsch piece. Lynne Dorsch has also brought us...yeah, nothing. Never heard of her. Yet there is her name, engraved in this creepy pewter buckle. Who could she be?

Seriously? Seriously. Look at this hat.

We are stunned. We are delighted and repulsed. We have two questions. They work separately and together: Why? Pink? Why pink?

Hey! Free shipping! Trouble is, they're gonna ship you these.

Baypro030 has some ugly for you. These jeans feature bleach, painted-on cherries, holes, and a butt-ribbon. Read on for a list of false claims made by the eBay posting.

eBay seller groundhogblue has an item for us: "ARt to Wear Unusual Appliqued Reversible India SHawl."

Particularly in cases like this, where the item looks like it may be from a cult we haven't heard of, we like to assume there's some sort of encrypted code in the posting. Like the mis-capitalization. Put it together: ARSH. That could mean. . .anything. Angry Ravens Scare Harriet? Annie Really Sells Hotpockets? How about ARWUARIS? I think I just found a name for my new Lord of the Rings re-enactment character. Sounds like a Level 7 Druid, no?

And we do believe a Level 7 Druid would actually wear this cape. Let's look at the features:

Wow, Bunny1313witch. There's a lot going on here. This is a sparkly, peach, crocheted, stretchy vest with "lures" dangling from it. We hereby declare this vest ludicrous.

How do these things get made? The listing says "Sorry label is no longer there." Our question: you mean this was purchased at a store? Someone with an actual label made this. . .like this? Covered in glittering plastic bait? WTF?

Eeewwww. What is it? Ginger8france on eBay says it's an adorable and unusual wrap/shrug. We feel that one of those adjectives is materially misleading.

Seriously, Ginger8france--a name which gives us a mental image of Ginger Rogers attempting to consume the Eiffel tower--"adorable" simply doesn't apply. It looks like it may be made of rat fur.

Other things it looks like:

Here we have a very unusual hat. It's a straw hat with a tuft of yellow fur on the top. We don't know what the furry spot is made of. It looks rather like chocobo.

This hat just makes us giggle. A straw sunhat with fur on it? WTF?
