Make Your Friends Come Over And Buy Ugly Crap For A Living
The latest from the garage-sale unlabeled-VHS-watching kings everythingisterrible, a video about becoming a "party" hostess who makes her guests buy the ugliest overpriced "art" and figurines, is scary in a whole new way: it doesn't actually seem like it was that long ago! Look at the makeup and clothes -- that's not the '80s or even the early '90s! So much mauve:
The video call from the land that irony forgot is coming from inside the 21st Century! (Actually, I would place it in 1997 because of the sunflower fetishizing, but close).

What twisted design universe does this bitch occupy where stoneware compliments a birdhouse collection? The mini spoonjar candle, sure. But stoneware? Revoke her charter.
