I love Etsy. I really do. It’s a phenomenal altar to human innovation, and more, to optimism. Think about the sequence of events that has to go into every single listing: Someone not only conceived of and made every item on the site; but when they finished it, they concluded that out there somewhere was a person willing to exchange actual money for, say, a set of creepy incest-and-murder-themed friendship necklaces.
If that’s not the American Dream in action, I don’t know what is.
The artisans of Etsy are old hands at exploring new frontiers, so it’s no surprise that they’ve enthusiastically joined into the long and hallowed tradition of seriously weird Star Trek homage, like the TNG pasties above (or their original series counterparts). Strap on your phasers and prepare to explore strange new bow ties, to seek out new hats and new flower pots, and boldly go where no crafters have gone before.
