    Fashion that makes us sad: The $600 'Where the Wild Things Are' playsuit

    File this one under: Things I will never understand. Slick, high-fashion retailer Opening Ceremony is currently selling this plush, monster-inspired, adult playsuit for $610. It's part of the international boutique's collaboration with "Where the Wild Things Are" director Spike Jonze, a collection that also includes Flintstone-esque furry vests ($415), horn-adorned sweatshirts ($460), and a fluffy, faux-fur cavegirl dress ($460).

    From the press release:
    "The line features a full range of faux fur pieces for both men and women, subtly evoking Max's crew of wild friends...The line even includes Max's iconic one-piece playsuit - complete with furry-eared hood and raccoon tail."

    Really? Can anyone explain to me how/why any grown-ass human would want to dress up as a stuffed animal? Is this a nod to the Furry/Plushy sex fetish phenomenon? Or just as completely lame/misguided/"rich hipsters will waste their money on anything" as I'm imagining?

    Oof.

      These remind me of the Plushies episode from CSI:

      Ok...when I was a kid I had these fuzzy pj's with feet in them and I have always wanted a pair now. An adult pair!!!! This new creation/costume is WONDERFUL!!!! But unreasonable at $600.

      If it didn't had the tail and was made of flannel, I would buy it over the Snuggie any day of the week! :)

      I think you might be right about rich hipsters wanting to waste their money on the latest new cute trend.

      I can see the furries appreciating this, too. I don't think that the furry phenomenon is just a sex fetish, though. I watched a show where people dressed up like that because they feel it's their spirit animal.

      Ah well. A good time will be had by all who wear these, probably.

      Shoujo Robot, you are quite the comedian!! And I agree with you...
      Besides, I, for one, LOVE the tail! (I have always wanted one) :)

      lol i think they are cute, i could see myself sitting at home in one of those curled up on the couch on a frigid wisconsin night watchin a movie, people are to stuffy have a little fun its ok to be a kid once in a while. although I wouldnt pay that much for it though thats ridiculous.

      Jennifer, no. I can not tell you why any one would want to dress up in a huge fuzzy onsie, but I found a french maid outfit in my cousin's closet. (His mom was a bit upset with the WHY on that outfit.) Maybe we should just adopt the armies policy of dont ask, dont tell.

      Hugs to you and yours

      PS I posted my beauty guru review of the products you sent me. I never thought I would ever use a moisturizer but after using the ones you sent, it has become part of my daily routine. Thanks again for the Olay Regenerist Products. The eye roller really is INSTANT.

      Yiff in hell! XD

      Whoa, Shoujo Robot! The anger, the anger-- simmer it down. You're absolutely right, if folks want to pay $600 to dress up as stuffed animals, it's a free country. But, man, that just seems like a lot of dough to spend on what is essentially a faux-fur Halloween costume. Also, you spelled my name wrong. And, in other news, I own no such expensive potato sacks because I'm cheap and, really, despite my strong opinions about this particular monster-inspired collection, more of a nice person than a bitch.
    • Shoujo Robot  •  2 years 8 months ago
      What the....WHAT ARE YOU COMPLAINING ABOUT?! THIS IS FANTASTIC! I'm ordering seven of those right now!! You, Jennifer Romalini, have ABSOLUTELY NO imagination.

      "Or just as completely lame/misguided/"rich hipsters will waste their money on anything" as I'm imagining?" -- Yeah, because I'm sure you're the oracle of fashion taste and have an impeccable record of quality and standards.

      Don't crap on other people's good time. And I say that glaring at your overpriced designer potato sacks you call clothes that I'm sure completely lame/misguided/rich b!tches (such as yourself) throw your money away on.

      Touche.

      While I don't have any beef with people dressing up like fuzzy animals--I'm just the kind of weirdo who would wear this sort of garb around the house for fun--I have to file this one under "Is Nothing Sacred?/Sick of Money-Grubbing Marketers". Couldn't somebody come up with their OWN fuzzy creature suits instead of using Max and his monsters? Feeling jaded.
    • Tiffany  •  2 years 8 months ago
      I'd rock that for halloween and personal snuggle time. just not for 600 bucks.
    • Rosie  •  2 years 7 months ago
      Wow. Okay. An adult actually wearing that? Wow, yeah. It's time to start laughing now.
    • Christina  •  2 years 8 months ago
      Did you check out all the stuff they're offering? That Carol Flare Coat is stunning.. but to pricey for me at $575.

      Oh yeah.. good job on the free advertising for them, Jennifer. LOL!
    • Mali Malz  •  2 years 8 months ago
      Why sooo expensive this could be such a cute costume for halloween... I want one... Ill pay 30$ tops for furryness, ears and a fox tail??? wtf is it supposed to be anyway does anyone know the answer to that???
    • HuneysuckleLuv  •  2 years 8 months ago
      I want one. I'll pay 1200 for it. .....ok, I'm kidding.
      You can wear that in the office right?
    • YvonneF  •  2 years 8 months ago
      This is a silly debate. Yvonne
    • Andygirl  •  2 years 8 months ago
      Jennifer, I just want to say that I always enjoy your writing. I myself don't really care if the rich want to zip up feety pajamas with horns (I'm hoping only to play with their children?), but your take on it was hilarious.

      You're witty and keep on a writin'!
