Scandal at Etsy: Seller Found to Outsource Modeling Services to Foreign Employees

In these hard economic times, many Americans are out of work and struggling to make ends meet. It is inconceivable then that local jobs would be outsourced to foreign citizens.

I discovered one particular incidence of this as I was browsing through the Turtlefat store run by store mistress Essiewb, and stumbled upon this:


Uh huh. You see the problem. Upon closer inspection you will see that that is a Hunny Pot in the photo. Yes folks, this is Winnie the Pooh, and Winnie the Pooh is a Brit. So basically, Essiewb chose to hire a British model rather than a good American model.

Such as:



or:






or even this character:








Actually I am not sure about this guy. His resume states that he lives in "the Pacific ocean." I need to get clarification from Sponge Bob expert Knitwithcats to make sure he is in fact a "real American."

This is not the only controversy I have discovered with this store. Recently, I was contacted by a representative of the Tortoises United with Turtles Union (Tutu for short) about the slanderous continuation of the myth that turtles are in fact fat. Said the representative, who prefers to remain anonymous "We are not fat! It's all shell!"

I haven't decided yet whether a full scale boycott of the Turtlefat store is in order. This offense is almost unforgivable, especially since she used a common trick of those who hire illegal aliens, to cover her tracks. She hid the offending model among actual American workers--her two children, and a roll of toilet paper. For now, I will settle for a good, harsh, scolding.

And Milosez, I am watching you too. Be warned.

Blatant Nepotism and Blogaversary

I seem to have slept through my own blog anniversary which I think was sometime in November. I don't know how I could have missed it. Thinking back over this past year I remember such milestones as my first spam comment, and my first nasty response. Oh the memories. Sigh.



Just one of the fine quality items that you can find in the SUMJEWELRY Etsy Store


Well it is with great fanfare that I would like to announce that my aunty has just started her own blog and Etsy store! I think the jewelry she makes is actually really pretty and that is not just because we are related. I am hoping that she will post some more pet photos on her blog.

I see that she has not posted to her blog since January 6th, which makes her eligible for the......
Knitwithcats Award!!!! So Aunty, here is your Knitwithcats Award.


Welcome to the blogosphere!
