ok this is “earring magic ken” who was introduced in 1992 (and discontinued shortly thereafter)

basically mattel had done a survey and discovered that girls didn’t think ken was “cool” enough

SO someone had the bright idea to research coolness by sending people to raves which, at the time, were mostly hosted & attended by gay men. so they went to these raves and took notes on what the fashions were and finally landed on this outfit, mesh shirt & all

this doll became the best selling ken doll in history, mostly because gay men bought it in droves. (many of them said his necklace was supposed to be a cockring) but mattel and a number of parents weren’t very amused and discontinued the doll

OH MY GOD YOU’RE LEAVING OUT THE BEST PART

MAGIC EARRING KEN. This bitch gay as HELL. supposedly the aforementioned rings on him are for “magic earrings” and clip on charms. These charms are advertised as totally COMPLETELY heterosexual, not gay at ALL, see there’s a Barbie that also has Magic Earring Action with clip on charms! Ken wears them to match, because he’s STRAIGHT

Here’s the issue: THERE IS NO MATCHING BARBIE. Magic Earring Ken is out here straight up wearing cock rings on his jacket with a thinly devised advertising ploy to make it SEEM not-gay. But it’s DEFINITELY GAY. (And if you’re thinking, why cock rings? Well way back in 1992 gay culture was HUGE on wearing cock rings, it was the in-style. Everyone who was gay wore one, even women; you sewed them to your leather jacket, and the placement indicated some of your sexual preference. In case you were wondering, Ken is a Bottom.)

AND IT GETS BETTER. Magic Earring Ken was on the shelves for six weeks before they pulled him. In that short amount of time? Magic Earring Ken became the BEST SELLING Barbie Doll Mattel has EVER SOLD. LET THAT SINK IN. SIX WEEKS. And now every time these wheezy old hetero windbag execs go to look at their sales board, they’re forever haunted by Magic Earring Ken at the top of their charts.

Gay as hell, Cock Ring Bottom Ken, the Best Selling Mattel Doll. Pride.

Hello everyone, my name is William Hewett-Crawford and I am raising money for my father's cremation and memorial. On september 9th of this year (2016) my father was diagnosed with stage 4 melanoma that has spread to his liver and lungs. The doctors have stated that he has three months to live....

Yesterday my father had 2.5 liters of fluids drained from his lungs because the melanoma had spread into them, making it difficult for him to breath. He also had a mini stroke that effected the left side of his face. After that happened he had an MRI done of his brain and they have found two tumors in his brain. His life expectancy is dwindling each day. Even with treatment he isn't likely to last the month. So PLEASE, PLEASE donate or share, please!

This is important! Many people try and correct me and tell me I am either a wizard or a warlock, and I simply correct them and say, “No, I’m a witch.”

Do you…do you not know…anything about Irish faeries…no, no, don’t do that…

@vampireapologist Worst idea ever

vampireapologist-archive-deacti

I’m gonna need some detailed information on this product’s production company to convince me that the Sidhe didn’t make this themselves.

seananmcguire

Do not do.

I am a professional faerieologist at this point, and I say DO NOT DO.

jabberwockypie

This strikes me as a SPECTACULARLY bad idea.

deadcatwithaflamethrower

NO NO NO NO.

Okay so Irish faeries are such an interesting collection of creatures and beings that range from nice and friendly to “HOLY SHIT! DO NOT OFFEND! BACK AWAY SLOWLY AND PRAY TO WHATEVER DEITY YOU BELIEVE IN!”

Banshee are considered faeries in Celtic myth and lemme tell ya, you don’t ever want to piss off a Banshee. Especially if you’re in Ireland. Nope. Do not pass Go. Do not collect 200. Just. Run. Away.

Little story my mam told me about a friend of her’s back when she was younger. This would have been in the 70s, so not that long ago tbh. Her friend was out on the lash with some lads, and he walked home alone.

Now the town they lived in was a little and coastal back then. A lighthouse, a pier, about 10 feet of beach before a huge motherfucking drop into the depths of the Irish Sea. Pebble beach. Lovely tbh.

Anyway. So her friend is walking home, obviously pissed but not to the point where he can’t see straight (he was Irish, drinking is our thing) and he comes across this woman sat on a wall, wailing quietly, brushing her hair with a comb.

Now, he shouts at her “awe, shut up ya’ whinnin’ cow!” and calls her a few choice names.

He gets a comb thrown at him for his efforts. A comb that he took with him home, wandering off into the night while this woman screeches at him and wails.

His wife finds the comb in the morning and is confused because “why on God’s green earth have ya’ got a comb made of bone?”

He doesn’t know why he picked it up but tells her about the woman who threw it at him and how she was screeching the night away. His wife is fucking pale by this point because “oh no, sweet Jesus no.”

To cut the story short, not long after, my mam’s friend died. Sudden. Unexplainable. Heart attack it was put down as.

The ‘woman’ he shouted at that night, was pale skinned, white haired, and brushing her hair with a bone comb.

Motto of the story is thus: DO. NOT. INVITE, QUESTION, SUMMON, OR, ANYTHING ELSE TO DO WITH IRISH FAERIES UNLESS. YOU. WANT. TO. DIE.

clones-away-deactivated20161015

wow. just wow. That is one hell of a story. But listen, I find the best part is that this Banshee was just sitting there, minding her own damn business, combing out her hair, like ya do, out in the middle of the Irish country side, singing to herself. Like. I always just thought Banshee’s popped up and stuff when people were about to die. Nope. They actually do shit.

obaewankenope

I’m not exactly inclined to go ask a Banshee what she does with her time tbh.

Banshee are mostly associated with death but sometimes they just show up because of dates, grief, death etc. I imagine there are some battlefields where Banshee would frequent because of the memory of large loss of life but don’t quote me on that.

What I found most surprising when my mam told me this story was the Banshee caused his death. Had he never bothered her, the sight of her probably would have shortened his life or sth, but he would have lived. But he decided to be a dick to her and got smacked with a comb for it.

Basically he got cursed by a Banshee.

WE SELL THESE AT THE GIFT SHOP I WORK IN AND ON THE BOX IT SAYS THEY ARE AN IRISH OWNED COMPANY AND MADE IN IRELAND BUT I’M LIKE “ARE YOU SURE??? IS THIS REALLY A GOOD IDEA??? WERE YOU TAUGHT NOTHING AS AN IRISH CHILD???”

There is even a really huge ass version of the faerie door in the shop and this little girl kept coming back in to check it and she was like “I can’t wait for it to open. I want to see the fairies come through!” and I was there like “No. No you don’t you sweet Canadian child. Because the fae take children like you away to dances and when you go back home the next day 20 years will have passed”

yourownpetard

Listen…I don’t even really believe in the supernatural but I wouldn’t do something that would attract the attention of the fay folk. It’s just not worth it on the off chance any of the legends are remotely true.

rabbittiddy

Who the fuck thinks anything dealing with the good neighbors is a splendid idea? And seriously an Irish company made this? I’m betting the good neighbors are behind it.

demoniclour

As a Celtic person this is absolutely the worst idea and anyone stupid enough to buy this deserves to get carried off by Fae folk

If you all are are breakfast obsessed as i am you probably have quite the pile of broke egg shells. Though egg shells are great for compost they also have many other unexpected wonderful practical uses as well.

1: the membrane within the egg shell is great for wounds. Simply swipe a little membrane off, wrap it around the cut and allow it to harden. You can also use an egg shell to soak in some apple cider vinegar for a few days and utilize that mixture for skin irritations.

2: FERTILIZER!!! egg shells both whole and ground are great for pests and great for the plants. You can plants seeds within old egg shells for the nourishment, loads of calcium and as a little protector from soft bodied critters that like to eat seedlings… like slugs. You can also ground/crush shells to place in each hole before planting or transplanting, also sprinkling around the bases of plants is again a great pest deterrent and calcium boost! One thing i personally love about utilizing old egg shells for garden and seedling purposes is their direct symbolism of fertility,protection and new beginnings.

3: Eggshells are great for cleaning hard to reach spot or tough grime. If you crush them rather than grind them they act as a great abrasive for cleaning in bottles ( hard to reach bottle necks and bases… just fill partially with hot soapy water, throw in some egg shells and SHAKE SHAKE SHAKE) You can even use them against your tough crusty frying pan.

4: sprinkle it in your food or your pets food for some extra calcium in your diet, its also great for those who have hens that lay…. hens need tons of calcium.

5: Grind it and add it to your morning cup of coffee… this is something i have been wanting to try for a while now. apparently the ground egg shell will tone down the coffees bitter aspects making it smooth and almost creamy. Sounds amazing and as soon as i ground some up to try ill give a little post about it!

6: You can use the shells for candle molds! Simply fill with wax, set the wick and when it is all done drying… peel off the egg shell and tada, you have a cute little candle. Also would be great molds for making your own magikcal candles.

7: Just like sprinkling egg shells onto your plants i also like to ground them up and soak them in my sprayer… so when i give the plants a spritz… again its giving them a nice healthy boost <3

8: Egg shells are believed to have strong protective attributes, making a simple cleansing wash,chalk and or Cascarilla is very simple and can offer protection, just as an egg protects its embryo. That is only one of the many uses of egg shells in magic.

9: as stated above, you can make egg shell chalk! all you need is

Approximately five empty egg shells 1 teaspoon flour 1 teaspoon very hot water food coloring (for colored chalk)

10: Facial cleanser and toner, i always used to watch my mother use eggs for a facial mask and never understood why…. its because its great for you! Grinding some old egg shells and whisking it in to fresh egg whites make a wonderful facial mask.

These are only a handful of the many practical uses for egg shells. If you all have other uses, please feel free to leave them in a comment, id love to hear!

witchtips

Not sure if this counts as a witchtip or anything, but when I bake cakes/cookies or anything, I like to draw a sigil in the batter then sing whilst I cook it to charge the sigil. They always taste better when I do this, and the sigil disappears so no one finds out you're a witch or anything

That’s definitely a witch tip! I love it thank you so much for sharing!
