I laughed ot loud at this title typo. I emailed the seller so she may have changed the title by the time you see it. It said "VERY ARSY GAUZY TUNIC MUST SEE 2X". Sounds like a shirt for a big gal with a huge butt!

Anybody else find any?

Good Lord, wouldn't you think the seller would have seen that?!

I considered the possibility that the seller shortened the word because the title was too many letters long. Of course, I was too lazy to count 'em to see!

But I would still think the seller would have noticed the difference in meaning between ARTSY and ARSY. From looking at the seller ID, it could have been the husband who listed it. Maybe his wife DOES have a big 'un and it was a Freudian Slip!

Oh! a great idea for a joke auction. A ladies slip with picture of Sigmund on the front...

It doesn't look artsy to me. I wonder if she meant airy.

cherished, could be.

I have noticed that the word "ARTSY" has become the new overused word, like "Gorgeous!" "L@@K!" and "Beautiful" have been in the past and still are. It is used, like with the other words, on auctions to which the word in question does not apply.

I have noticed that many auctions that claim "Beautiful!", etc., but no thumbnail on the search page are for truly hideous items when one opens the auction. Anyweay, I have found that to be very true in the women's clothing areas where I shop on eBay.

But, yes, the top does look airy! Especially if one has a large arse.

It says a size 50 bust. Sounds more like a dust cover for a grand piano.

RARIFFLE - YOU'LL SHARE?

Does that mean you'll each get 1 breast enlarged?
