Jay Strongwater: Blind React

[@rynneivarsson751]

It's like a dollar tree delivery truck rammed into a glitter factory.

[@CassandraElkin]

OMG you nailed it!

[@niccoleshrider9794]

OMG Ithink I love you!!😂🤣😅😆💯% nailed it!

[@DHxJarsyl]

If we were married and got divorced, I would thank you for taking the toucans on the way out.

[@DanielWright-np3fq]

As you continually illustrate, this bougie indulgence is for people with what my Dad called "more dollars than sense". I guarantee the local Craft Show folks could do prettier and more elegant for a far more reasonable price. Buy local!

[@triciam.b.5589]

You can get better glass at Corning Museum of glass, by real glass artists, not bedazzled but hand blown

[@OliviaFinley-p7w]

I'm automatically interested, just googled and saw they even have an option to make your own with a teacher's guidance. You could get your whole family tickets to a fun unique experience for so much cheaper than any designer garbage

[@karlsenula9495]

You can find Murano glass (famous from Venice) in many consignment stores.

[@GeekmomD]

I judge paying extra for Swarovski crystals because honestly in many applications, like clothing and nails, they don't last or look better than cheaper options

[@gracev3851]

@@OliviaFinley-p7wwe went as a family when we were kids and got to blow our own glass ornaments. We treasure them, it’s a wonderful memory!

[@1badombre82]

I sell tools at the museum every Friday during lunch break for griffin glass tools

[@cathedraldarkness]

My husband and I are both very extra. We share a unique love for the absurd and tacky. Our home is littered with various items from the Golden Girls, Maud, Barbie, scantily clad mermen, ass fridge magnets - the list goes on. However, $4,000 for a picture frame!? As Miss Coco Peru would say, No.

[@cassandralyris4918]

"It bothers me!"

[@cathedraldarkness]

I needed a cup of celestial seasonings tension tamer tea after hearing those prices.

[@dearydarling]

how to say this and not be creepy but ... i desperately need to see your house lol

[@Sprklngglassslipper]

I am you, you are me.

[@seasonsstarsstudios]

Your home sounds like fun - maybe not my taste, but I see the appeal for sure. I could make that picture frame with the same materials for at max $100 if anyone wanted it. I’d charge maybe $200, $300 if it’s some rich prick. I’m not even that artistically talented, but I can do that. That’s how ugly that thing is.

[@kelvincrabtree1062]

This is our $31,000.00 fireplace screen. NO MIFFY! NO PEEING ON THE STRONGWATER! BAD MIFFY! BAD, BAD MIFFY! So embarrassing! We've been trying to potty train her, but my wife says it takes time for children to learn these things. Ugh. I told her we should have got a dog instead.

[@icemancometh8679]

😁 Poor Miffy - she'll get there.

[@matthewbrandon931]

You can get a custom made blacksmith made fire screen for $3,000.

[@catcolb11]

And it would be beautiful!

[@karlsenula9495]

Now put Swarovski crystals on that fidget spinner ring and watch the price go into the hundreds ... 😂

[@DrMarloWalters]

Did anyone else notice the payment option to split up the cost into "easy payments" of $2,000??!😮

[@carlaangelaferrer5871]

Mar-a-Largo called, they want their tchotchkes back LOL.

[@diligentsun1154]

That Milkshake brings ALL the boys to the Yard, right!

[@kriskossack7231]

All of this screams Florida Retirement Village. The Rolling Stones Frame needs tickets for the Stones as well as pictures with them to put in the frame. The Sabertooth one, really would be cool for Halloween. Get a foam skull from Party City, get some LEDs to put in the eye sockets, then have fun painting it to match what ever theme you’re going for!

[@Boertje247]

Jay Strongwater is like bougie (ie, money, but no innate taste) Fabregé. I love going to local craft fairs, artists, museum shops to buy from real artists. I have an artist friend who makes headdresses for performance artists, admittedly, a very narrow niche market. But I bought one from her bc it was so stunning, the piece was all made from up-cycled materials, I loved it, and it sits on a cool manikin head she also made. I did actually wear it to a fancy schmancy cocktail party once time, but I love just looking at it on its perch. It makes me happy to just see it. “A thing of beauty is a joy to behold.” Most of this schmeidrei will be turning up in thrift shops and yard sales for pennies on the dollar. Heirs will inherit and look askance at this drek and say, “toss it”!

[@nickpilgrim7706]

It's like the Pop Artist, Jeff Koons, had a stroke, and rolled around in broken glass.

[@TommyMoritz]

You have the female equivalent of a David Attenborough voice. You should definitely be narrating tv shows or documentaries. Please do more voiceovers or (funny) audio books. Your voice is perfect for it! So professional.

[@sneezyfido]

Voiceovers might be a good idea. As it is I'm really not sure what she was saying 😅

[@icemancometh8679]

​@@sneezyfidoPeople have told her this before and she does audio books and even a commercial once on the radio.

[@feralhomunculus]

​@icemancometh8679 Yes, I came here to say this. She has a recent video of her talking about her setup and how to get into it, etc.

[@TommyMoritz]

@@feralhomunculus oh where is this video?

[@Kreb0225]

Need a @zefrank collab

[@deanhanel562]

Yes, "Trumpy", I've been saying that it needs to become an everyday adjective to describe "over-the-top privileged crap".

[@Karaitika]

Its not even useful as a firescreen. The whole point is to block sparks, this thing just sits there and watches the house burn down.

[@JCCRVB]

"We used to cut peoples heads off for this." I'm dying here!!! LOL

[@suemueller4789]

Your dress is super cute! That color is beautiful on you.❤🎉

[@Refashionedhippie]

Thank you so much!

[@bore-aliss]

Suddenly realizing how pop culture has warped my 'expensive' scale because I went 'ooh, $31K pre-tax isn't that much to live on, hope her youtube pops off and makes bank soon' and then remembering that it's still more than I've ever made. The actual fuck is wrong with me

[@hairy-one]

the fireplace screen said 'for decorative use only' which means it can't be used with a real fire...

[@theramseyloft362]

Dear Hubby suggested an eye tracker to see *exactly* what parts you hate the most!

[@Refashionedhippie]

I love it!

[@osmosis_8692]

I wouldn't say ugly. More like... Gaudy. What's so bizarre is it is intentionally gaudy. These are actual, "I paid $1k for this, 26k for that... And now I'll never enter this room again." Wow. They made frame collections. Like they're going to theme the room. I don't hate it. I despise it. Yes. "Trumpy". 💯👍💯👍💯👍 You nailed it. I bet if you dug deep enough, you would find "ear bandage accessory 4kg plated, deep orangutan (orange, for you poor folk)". It's just gaudy in bad taste. On purpose.

[@malusignatius]

Kitsche. The entire range feels kitsche to me.

[@malusignatius]

(and hideously overpriced)

[@jenny2282]

Don't ever compliment trump by saying orangutan. Those are the coolest animals ever...and the cutest.... far from trump lolol

[@eddingtonmcclane6963]

Personal politics has no place here. Neither does joking about an assassination attempt. Not cool. Not cool at all.

[@malusignatius]

@@eddingtonmcclane6963 I see what you're saying here, but a) it's the MAGA mob who made the earpad thing happen and b) Trump is objectively a terrible person. That's not a political statement, but reality.

[@rog2224]

They look like blinged up Leonardo figures ('hand painted' bisque figurines that were popular about 30 years ago)

[@georgiaobserver]

If being hand painted means more money, I got a hand painted AMC Gremlin you would love!

[@karlsenula9495]

I tried to make that whale in High School ceramics/art class ... It blew up in the kiln ... Now if i had had this i might have gotten away with it and gotten an A. It reminds me of the Rodney Dangerfield movie 'Back to School' where he gets Kurt Vonnegut to write his book report - then he gets a F where teacher said the writer knew nothing about Kurt Vonnegut and the book.

[@anjou6497]

Beautiful. 😂

[@TommyMoritz]

So that toucan “objet” 😂😆 girl goodbye and goodnight 🤣

[@davedixon2167]

The Toucan Objet isn't ugly, it's "eauxglet"! Edit: I realized at the end that Austin Tacious would be an excellent drag queen name.

[@rhoward295]

Best adjective of the day… trumpy. Lolz!😂 😂😂

Like the new format for looking at the crazy stuff. You can see the items better and feels less cumbersome and less distracting than the shorts.... Well, the graphics are less distracting... *ahem* ... Dynamite ...um... dress. 🥰😍❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@Nightshade-333]

I think we should all got buy some thrift store knickknacks and a Bedazzler and make our own ugly objets. Let's make it a thing.

I'm reminded of that insane episode of Sex & The City where Miranda's interior designer buy her a frog vase for her living room (and she regifts it back to the designer as an engagement present.)

[@shadlyn3803]

Look. I do diamond painting sometimes. I like the shiny sparkles, even if I know objectively it's often tacky. It makes me happy. But this is important: The kit costs like $3 to $15. Just buy some shiney sparkles and make a shiney.

[@karlsenula9495]

... Can't they at least make the tucan look like the Fruit Loops box???

[@Mystic-WTF]

Saw the short video so of course I HAD to watch the video recommendation. LMAO 😂😂😂😂😂❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@tania-mariazegrea5948]

I actually loved a lot of the pieces and I can confirm that my style is just extra, very on the money there

[@StephenHutchison]

Swarovsky crystals are lead glass, with a bit of care taken in crafting them. They're clearly valuable for the same reason that diamonds are valuable: the company had good marketing and they control how many are made. Given the recent decision by their CEO to stop selling them in bulk to dealers, that's pretty obvious.

[@purpletalons7682]

I like the doll head lamp in the background. I make lamps like that too. I call them Frankinlamps.

[@nicolepolychrones7206]

I love you. Just straight up. Whenever I need an ab workout (whether from laughing so hard, and then crying from laughing so hard) I just know to go straight to you ❤ just know how much you are appreciated!! An added bonus, I feel my double chin shrinking from all my laughing working out my face muscles. OMG you should TOTALLY do a workout video where you just do what you normally do and make us laugh our faces off (and watch our unsightly muffin tops melt away as well!) (* just remember me and the other little people when you are buying $35,000 4 inch Swarovski crystal whales just for target practice 😂)

[@MsShellectable]

You could buy 24 tickets for good seats at a Stones concert for the price of that frame.

[@Unapologetically_myself24]

Saw the stones in like 2022ish ( horrible with time I forget and or exaggerate it) but was an incredible show the played for nearly 3hrs with like 2 breaks. For there age I was quite impressed and surprised.

[@asssfukcocsukmotherf]

I don’t know why anyone would pay to see them live they are just as bad for charging that amount for tickets.

[@janisjoplin7586]

Ive stumbled across a couple items fram jay strongwater that i unironically liked (theres a bejewelled leapord on a wooden box that i think is nice, for example). But i like them because theyre purposely tacky, like what my child brain imagined a little princess would be getting for her birthday while i was eating chuck e cheese pizza. Id buy some of it, but for $10-$20 at a thrift store

[@AA-fi8xj]

I just need to comment. The colour of your dress is absolutely divine

[@Refashionedhippie]

Thank you!

When you want to bankrupt your wealthy significant other or you have taste for💩, you buy this "stuff".

I must salute your observational ability and taste. Good sense, too. Your laugh is infectious. Love it. And he won't make much off me, either.

[@dxivlife]

I haven't laughed this hard in years! It just keeps getting worse and worse around each corner! hahaha

[@lenawilliams539]

One look at that furniture, I screamed at the TV and said "WTF IS THIS BULL S***! GD IT'S FUGLY AS HELL! 😂

[@kalaoahaole]

Holy... so horrible but even more horribly over-priced. And this is the laugh i need in my magical Hawaiian life. Haha! So contagious!

[@darthbubba866]

The fireplace screen doesn't even look like it could accomplish its basic function - to keep embers and cinder from flying onto the floor when the firewood pops!

[@trainliker100]

Long ago I worked in the accessory department of a Levitz Furniture store. We placed accessories (lamps, pillows, paintings, artificial plants, everything) all over the store to enhance the furniture displays. There were constantly new things, and some were hideous. Might be a horrible lamp or a horrible furniture set. The worse it was, the faster it sold. We would discuss this with the sales staff, and it baffled them also.

[@AliFinNoble]

Wait you did the Star Trek tour?! My dad helped build that and my parents live down the rode! Did you get that at Fox and Fern across the street? My mom's best friend owns that. F wild It's also wild that there's a Star Trek experience that advanced in the middle of nowhere It's weirdly beautiful and strange. Not to mention that the owner is also the mayor and an Elvis impersonator! 😅😂. How did I miss that video?

[@thejacksons875]

If I pay that much money the entire object better have crystals

[@rebeccazegstroo6786]

Kudos to him for getting his stuff in front of people with much more money than taste. I'm envious.

It also looks like the messed up the coloration on the Fin whale too. One of the interesting traits the species has is that they're asymmetrically coloured.

I remember Sunday School having us make bedazzled arts and craft picture frames in the 80s. They looked a lot like these, but at least they were made A. by literal children B. With something approaching affection C. Out of $3 worth of crap from MJ Designs. The thing about picture frames is that anything *other* than simple or understated only detracts from the photo inside.
