Someone has stumbled upon Courtney Love's Etsy profile, which presumably she uses to procure things with (as opposed to sell things with). It's nice to see she's consistent with her internet dealings, incorporating both her charming trademark typo-ridden text and a totally out-of-nowhere financial issues rant in her profile:
just like to come here, my checks are on a wierd sahcedule so bear with, per paypal plus my paypal account has had wierd stuff happen eg salaries and theft, so im very persnickity about it, but if i really like it youll get paid , my cpa hates the word"etsy: " but theres vendors on here i adore nd i al;ways discover new inspiring stuff.
What kind of stuff? Well she's favorited a drawing of herself (on sale!), and some photos associated with Kurt Cobain, but her personal list of favorite items reads: "tattered, vintage dresses and jewels, big fat crystals, things i can use in my home, passementrie, dolls, sometimes, old books, knives, signet rings." That's right, dresses and crystals and yadda yadda yadda DOLLS AND KNIVES.
