That's kind of neat in the sense that it'd be a quirkly little thing an Epidemiologist would have several of in their office to represent the particular "ills" (lol) of the area they work/study in.

Ha ha, I have an interest in epidemiology and I was gifted a set of plush microbes a few years back. One was HIV but the others were things like e-coli and the common cold. I wonder if they just piggybacked off that idea? They've been around at least 4 or 5 years.

A quick note regarding pricing and labour:
I have a friend who is an artist who makes and sells jewllery. When she's pricing she adds up the cost of the materials and multiplies that by 3 for her time. I follow the same model and have found it's reasonable to both the maker and buyer.
Some people don't realise that when you're breaking down your costs you need to break down your materials. If you bought a whole roll of cotton cloth and only used half a meter in your project you work out the cost of that half meter, you don't factor in the cost of the entire roll. You'd be surprised how often sellers don't realise that.

Geeky sex toys are a dime aplenty, but this one in particular made me laugh

Don't you just hate it when you feel that dreaded itch down below, or when your hooker of the moment inspects you and shakes her head and the grim realisation hits you: no sex for you today, because you've got an STD?

Worry no longer!

STDs shouldn't fill you with shame or... regret. Indeed, Etsy teaches us that there's no need to worry when you get a down below disease, in fact Etsy says we should proudly tout our achievement (after all, STDs mean you got laid) and should capture it for posterity.

You can now mark the arrival of your special status with a charming cross-stitch of the hitchhiker in question. Such as, say, Syphilis:

Or if you've had a REALLY big night out (or just want to be prepared) you can get ALL THE STDS in one handy pdf file:

Since STDs are no longer taboo, don't hesitate to needlessly bring them into the conversation! Show your friends you remembered them on their special day with this pdf of a birthday card that features a joke with a punchline you won't know until you've bought the pdf for yourself!

Consider your nearest well poisoned.

Is this racist?

Why do I feel like the sizes for this hideous thing are restricted due to some misguided smug idea that thin to average sized women will now have to experience the pain of not being able to buy a clearly super cute and totally desirable item because of their weight?

"Summer wedding". Because after meticulously planning a celebration of their relationship, who wouldn't want an alleged "friend" showing up with a gaudy vag-flower chained around her neck?

Also, something tells me the only red carpet that this necklace will ever be worn at is the carpet its owner stained while freebleeding on her period.
