Hm. Not really my style.
Etsy wants me to know this thing is so hot right now. I gather it’s a “super sized statement bag” – whatever that is. It’s blue, anyway.
I knew the wonderful website Regretsy was no longer with us (2009-2013). After a little poking around, I regret to inform you that an archive of it has never been put on the internet. The URL points to a coming soon placeholder, but no way to know how long it’s been there.
Not that this bag is Regretsy-worthy, it just put me in mind of one of my favorite reads, back in the day.
If you missed it, Regretsy was a delightful blog featuring the weirdest things found on Etsy. According to Wikipedia, when April Winchell started the site in 2009, she got 90 million hits in four days. What a thing to walk away from!
There’s a Regretsy-themed Reddit group, but it hasn’t been active in two years. There’s a small selection of posts curated here. There are other bits and pieces scattered across the web. But mostly, it’s gone – unless April decides to post the archive some day.
Oh, and so is Raquel Welch after a short illness. No, nobody had her.

RIP Jo Raquel Tejada Welch (September 5, 1940 – February 15, 2023)
She also admitted, “I was not brought up to be a sex symbol, nor is it in my nature to be one. The fact that I became one is probably the loveliest, most glamorous and fortunate misunderstanding”.

If that’s a “statement bag” then the statement you make with it is “I am assho.”

Farewell Raquel I was a mere strip of a lad when you were a super hot property.

I always thought of Raquel Welch as a ‘cut above’- she would neither do nude scenes nor participate in the casting-couch wrestling matches- and that probably hindered her career. Class AND beauty, what a combination!

Beware: more than one link in a comment is apt to earn you a trip to the spam filter, where you will remain -- cold, frightened and alone -- until I remember to clean the trap. But, hey, without Akismet, we'd be up to our asses in...well, ass porn, mostly.<< carry me back to ol' virginny
