Et·som·ni·a (/etˈsämnēə/), noun, 1. a sleep disorder caused by obsessive Etsy browsing. 2. the surprising arrival of weird handmade merchandise ordered when one is only half conscious. (True story.)
In April, I published an edition of Etsomnia™ called “Picture This,” which was an exploration of photographs for sale on our favorite website. Today, I’d like to delve a little deeper into the fashion photography section. The term fashion, in this case, is maybe being used a bit loosely.
As usual, links to the items for sale appear below each picture. For more Etsy fun, check out all my weekly Etsomnia™ posts.
I’ve attended a few poker games where a gas mask would have been a great idea. (That’s right, cigar smokers, I’m talking to you.) By Cesar237Art
No, no, no. You’re supposed to throw it up against the wall to see if it’s done.
NSFW tree branch.
That’s not ladylike.
Even though her legs are closed, I can still see her pussy.
That is not how you use a corkscrew.
I’ve seen what models eat, and it’s not typically bigger than their heads.
I chortled so much I choked on my cup of tea. I had to show some of the images to my kids. Their response was “What the hell?” If small kids feel that way then adults ought to know better.
Ha! Well I showed them the pictures without the captions and just a selection of the photos. They wanted to know why I was laughing so much. I had to share the chuckles. My kids are pretty mature when it comes to handling imagery. They’ve grown up with me drawing nudes and having an interest in the history of sideshow freaks. They liked the cats heads spliced onto human torsos best.
Oh my. This is my new favourite etsomnia post. How do you not pee your pants when selecting contents for these posts?
Great opener with the goat at least for me. The MT has a goat obsession since a billy at the race track head butted him last year. I may never hear the end of it. He recently chatted with said goat and insisted billy apologized. Erm… Suffice to say the mere sight of a goat evokes laughter in my home!
These photos are downright scary. Well, the goat is cute and totally upstages the model with her balloons. Hell, the balloons upstage the model. So, people BUY these prints to hang on their walls or something?!?!

How funny! I definitely didn’t think of this as child friendly. They must be very mature children!

Love it! Plus Apologetic Goat would be a pretty good band name!

Allegedly. I’m having a hard time imagining anyone actually buying them, but some of them must sell, right?
