No need to get the hose again. Now it can rub lotion on its skin in style with these Jame Gumb originals!

Use up all that leftover Butcher’s Twine from last week’s abduction to create these fun, restrainerific String Toppers! Now it’ll be happy to put the lotion in the basket, right Precious?

Did it hear me? It puts the lotion in the basket.

Put the #@*%ing lotion in the basket!!!

    Um. . . Uh . . . Words cannot describe the horror. Butcher’s twine? Cover-up? Is it actually covering anything? Although my favorite bit is “usually with no label.”

    I was afraid this one was a bit much, but it cracks me up. I think because it is so incredibly creepy. I mean, I can see why she wouldn’t want to show her face, but geez, did they have to kidnap her and tie her to a freaking radiator for this shoot?

    I particularly dislike the “cuffs” on the left-hand one.

    In the name of all that is holy, what the hell is that!

    If butcher’s twine from back then costs more than red heart does now – good god!! what were they thinking!

  6. Adrian says:

    Oh, you make me laugh out loud.

    It does whatever it’s told, and I’m telling it to CROCHET!

  7. Terri D. says:

    Oh ewww I’m so creeped out. Not just the Jamie Gumb thing but the Blair Witch Project face-turned-to the-wall effect.

    But I’m laughing my a** off.

  8. Jenn says:

    Ya have to wonder what kind of person would look at a roll of butcher’s twine and think, “Hey: beach attire.”

    Who exactly she would be hoping to pick up on the beach while wearing that thing– the Gorton’s fisherman?

    *shudder*

    You don’t need nudity to look like naughty photos, do you? You just need that face away from the camera thing.

    Truss them up or dress them up? Decisions decisions.

    This has all the elements of classic horror. Really, all she has to do is be running up the stairs while not looking at the camera? And you’ve got a movie poster.

    Oooo…I have a ball of that twine at home. I’ve only used it in the garden… but maybe…

  12. Ruth says:

    Oooh that is creepy. Definitely Blair Witch-ish.

  13. Suebob says:

    The itch. OMG the itch! Twine!!

    You have me gassing with laughter with this post. Sorry I missed you at Porter Square. Since we’re neighbors, though, I hope we’ll run across each other at some point. Perhaps reaching for the same ball of yarn at Woolcott (which actually I hate because it’s too small and you have to actually beg them to ring up your purchase) or Windsor Button (lovely and incredibly friendly owner, huge space, lots o good yarn).

  15. Marnie says:

    My brother officially has a crush on you now.

  16. Jenna says:

    I’m thinking she reeeally doesn’t want her picture taken…..definitely a picture from a hostage situation! And acrylic yarn is bad enough, but butcher’s twine?!?!?! C’mon people!!!
