Featured Buyer: Leslie Hall — Internet Celebrity, Lady Rapper to the Stars, and Keeper of Thyn Gems

2007-11-07T10:37:00-05:00

I am very excited to introduce today's Featured Buyer, as she is a long-time idol of mine. As a lover of hip hop, bedazzling and a kickin' sense of humor, Leslie Hall is a gem lovin' gal's dream come true. Usually outfitted in a gold spandex jumpsuit (hence the song "Gold Pants" by her band Leslie and the LY's), Leslie is best known as "the gem sweater girl," as she has a seemingly endless supply of bedazzled clothing, each with its own name and personality.

As you can see, I'm a fan! Now, without further ado, I give you: Leslie Hall!

I am Leslie Hall. I'm a web star whose love for Gem Sweaters has touched people and myself. I started a musical act called Leslie & the LY's where we make outfits and then sing and dance about making outfits, being glamorous, and how if you wanna be a star you gotta go home and make your own clothes first. (A very Etsy thing, if you ask me.) For more on me, check out my videos on YouTube and my tour schedule on MySpace.com/LeslieHall. You can also buy my goods at HeftyHideaway.com!

And now, Leslie's picks! Get ready, because they're doozies.

Laser Beam Mustang Painting by thecellophanes

Laser eyes much? I would kill for this over my bed. Don't mess with this lady, cause you'll get it deep in the cut cut with my laser eyes. DAMN, that would make a good song.

Pizza Crochet Pattern by melbangel

WHO'S HUNGRY FOR SOME PIZZA? ME! This is why I love Etsy. Crochet Pizza! Although it's only a pattern, totally worthy of my late night crafting hunger.

Fake Diamond Ring by PreciousPups

You could drop this gem on me anytime. If I was in a ninja fight, I would punch and jab with my fake ring hand for extra cuts and bleedy wounds. FEEL MY BEAT DOWNS and look divine.

The Britney by freckleface

Gimme, GIMME more genital coin purses, please. This looks like somthing I would totally keep my loose change and roll-on glitter in.

Bear With Math by porcelainandpaper

All of this chick's plates rule. I go to a place to paint pottery with my crew and my plates end up looking like I cooked turd pasta and let it crust over night. These are much, much nicer.

Recycle Tote by andyeatsonlycandy

I have huge 1000 year plastic bag guilt, and if Julia Roberts won't use plastic bags, neither will I. This would be so perfect for filling with my lady products and Sierra Mist on a midnight shopping spree to CVS. Bitch, don't go near my Gold Pants.

Limited Edition Framed Wall Art Screen Print - Prairie Tea by foxyandwinston

I just wanna narrate this tea party every time I look at it, cause one of those things might say something like, "Does anyone know where I put my bra? Does anyone wanna kiss?"

i miss u already - limited hand silk-screened print by ghostghostteeth

I really enjoy this because I can really relate to this situation. However, I used an axe.

ROID RAGE shirt by 410bc

The Polaroid they reference for this shirt is the limited edition Spice Girls camera. I bought one years ago and still use it. I plan to take pictures of myself weeping for joy at the Spice Girls reunion tour in L.A.

Limited Edition Print - Strange Encounter by apak

Being nude in a park blowing up ballons for a pack of llamas. This artist is nuts. And crazy artists always do the best art. (Have you heard my last album? GOLD.) Also, GOLD is the sky, at a llama park, nude, blowing up balloons.

Cheeta Monster Hat by circlesandsquares

Please make adult sizes already. It's cold in Iowa, and I wanna be called Tiger Claw Head. SO, SO AWESOME. I would need matching spandex pants.

Chandrea Collection no.33 by yukyuk

When I'm sitting alone, trying to write songs about gems and world domination, a little friend like "no.33" looks like he would never hurt me. Unless he came to life and used those little fangs to bite.

Graystone Squirrel by annette1533

To visualize someone painting rocks is just totally amazing to me. Seriously, this is the best rock painting I've ever seen.

The Moody Barn by thejdawg

Pretty, pretty. This is a sweet natured, Midwest-looking photo. I'd hang this in my kitchen so everytime I eat corn I'll think to myself, "From the fields to my face, food is good."

Thank you, Leslie. From your face to Etsy, spandex is good. Check out this flickr pool devoted to photos of Leslie.
