eBay WTF of the Day - India's Technicolor Dreamcoat
It was red and yellow and pink and orange and blue and purple and green and azure and I-don't-know-I'm-just-saying-colors and blue. (See video below if you haven't done enough musical theater time to understand that.)
Here, we have an Unusual Quilted Jacket from "India." The quotes are not mine, they're there in the listing. I'd like to take a moment to ponder what "India" (in quotation marks) must mean. Possibilities:
1. The "India" in the seller's basement; i.e. a portion of their home they have nicknamed "India."
2. "My husband brought this back from his 'business trip' to 'India' but who knows where that cheating bastard really was."
3. The seller actually believes that "India" is a made-up place like "Narnia."
In any case, this colorful jacket, available for the reasonable starting bid of $9.99, takes "quilted" to a new level by appearing to be sewn together from actual quilts from little girls' bedrooms. This is perfect for one of those days when you really don't want to get up and wish you could just wear your covers to work. This is almost that.
It's kind of like a Snuggie for the perpetually confused. WTF?
Sorry if was a little early in the morning for this video. It's Fashion Week. Everything's weird.
