Awesome Affordable Etsy Find of the Week!


Some of the awful puns and jokes I considered for this post:

"Now that's what I call intelligent design!"

"For keeping your bangs under control, these pins are a natural selection."

"I'd buy these in a finch!" (Like "in a pinch," but "finch" instead, because Darwin studied finches! Eh? Eh?)

"Who knew that H.M.S. Beagle stood for Hair Most Stylish, ummm....Beagle?"

"I've been looking for a way to evolve my look."

"These pins would do wonders for what I like to call The Origin of the Greasies, aka not washing my hair for five days."

But mostly I just can't get over how creepy/cute it would be to have Darwin's little face peeking out from a French chignon. I need to learn how to do a French chignon.

Haha! They are unbelievable. I truly believe they would help me pick up the kind of boyfriend I really want. If he's impressed with those hairclips it might just be love.

Those are a hoot! How proud would your dad be if you snapped up a pair?

That beard!

Bekah said...

omg those are amazing, they remind me of my freaky necklace with the pictures in the beads
I don't know if it's because of my university-student-chug-a-large-latte-in-5-minutes-to-stay-awake caffeine rush or that you're just too funny, but I just laughed so loud that I woke up one of my roommates.

...most likely the latter.

those would go great with my cross bracelet.

Heidi Rose said...

Oh the lame jokes! Hahaha

As for the french chignon - I'll be googling that later.

Perfect for the survival of the pinnest (like fittest, only with most pins...durr. You're better at this.)!

Kristen said...

You are so awesome for showing those, I would love to have Charles Darwin's face peaking from under my hair. I may have to make my fiance get them for me as a Halloween present (I am making his costume, I think that deserves a present ;-)

Leila said...

Awesome! I'm putting this on my Santa wish list for my (biologist) husband to take note of. It's exactly what my French Chignon's been missing.

At first I thought they were printed photos of ears. But now that I see they are little Darwins, I covet them!

Clare said...

Love all those puns! I would buy these hair clips just to be able to repeat them all day.

Katy said...

Rosie Unknown said...

You totally just made my monday! Virtual cupcakes to you!

Amy said...

This is the best etsy find yet, for sure. Hilarious!

Amanda M. said...

I need to learn how to do more up-do's so I have justification for buying these.

Kitty said...

You need to do an open mike. Seriously. Stellar material.

Megan said...

A chignon is one of those words that I would always find in my mother's books that I should probably not have been reading in junior high, and it MYSTIFIED ME. Okay, maybe not MYSTIFIED, but I thought it sounded so classy and elegant...and I had no idea what it looked like.

When I finally did find out what it was I was like THAT'S IT? A TWIST? THAT'S PRACTICALLY A BUN. WTF DANIELLE STEEL IS SO DUMB.

The end.

I went ape when I saw these.
