Ways to Find Ugly Shit

I thought I would share with you a few of the ways to find ugly shit on etsy.

First, the forums are an incredibly helpful tool in discovering fresh ugly shops. Check out the Critiques section. I've found loads of ugly shit condensed into just one thread!
Another great way to search is to sit in the Buy Sell Trade Chats. Just wait for the ugly shit to rear its ugly head on the right side of the screen.
Lastly, the absolute simplest way to have ugly shit come right to you is to watch the Etsy front page. The recently listed items box which refreshes itself ever 15 seconds, averages about 2-3 ugly items at a time.
Enjoy my friends.

Close But So Far

Oooh you guys are good at guessing!
But sadly I'm not as familiar with the "in" crowd to understand some of the accusations.
Think more.. obscure.

Now now. Taunting on Twitter is not nice.
And don't feel ignored if I don't respond to you, I don't write anyone back.
Whether it is a submission, or a nice message, just know that I am smiling lovingly in return.

Finding Ugly Shit

Finding ugly shit is both simple and difficult.
There is so much of it on Etsy. You've seen it. The shit that belong in a second hand store, or a flea market. The shit with dingy, dirty photographs and disgusting "crafty" appearance. Popsicle stick boxes, diaper cakes, denim and patriotic are just a few of my favorite search terms on Etsy. Thanks to their horrendous search functions, sometimes even looking for NON ugly shit will bring up something vomit inducing.

Also, one of my favorite ways to find it is sitting in Etsy Chat and browsing the hideous items in chatter's shops.

To my friends in this thread, I am happy that you view this as promotion for those making ugly shit. If they can con someone into buying their fucking disgusting wares, then more power to them.
I would like to thank you for this thread, as it has been great promotion for me.

And to a certain friend whose ugly item was featured, and then they messaged me- your views went up because I f5'd it. :) Almost 300 times. Enjoy dear.



I shall not today attempt further to define the kinds of material... but I know it when I see it.
