It’s not just me, is it Blush

It’s actually sold out in certain sizes

Now I'm being stalked across the internet by sequinned phalluses. I guess they can join in with the hideous Wolf&Badger dresses and that model from Shein with the badly botched lip fillers.

Zilla1 · 14/12/2020 17:25

@CigarsofthePharoahs, perhaps you're being stalked IRL by sequinned phalluses too and are just not being observant.

I hope it's because they'd only unpacked one box before someone went wtf.
PillowPrincess · 14/12/2020 18:24

I dont see it and i have a dirty imagination.

MitziK · 14/12/2020 18:25

My first thought when I see a thread title like this is 'Tits, knobs or Swastikas?'

And again, my cynical mind is proven right.

Changethetoner · 14/12/2020 18:28

Even IF they did look like shoes, who would want to wear a tee-shirt with a shoe on it? Weird to me.

I just saw shoes my DH got it immediately

purplecorkheart · 14/12/2020 19:20

Took me a good few minutes to see what you meant. Haha I agree with the poster who said that there must be a prize for the designer who includes something rude in a Festive Item.

ILoveYoga · 14/12/2020 19:21

I think you need to have that sort of mind to see that to begin with

Had to look at it for a little bit trying to see what you were referring to in order to get the gist

Naughty you!

I think you’d see something naughty in anything

I really don't have that sort of mind, i'm usually the last one to get these sort of things, but I definitely see 3 dicks. The middle one looks especially phallic. I can't see shoes at all.

LittleMissLockdown · 14/12/2020 19:29

I'm not one to see smut where there isn't any but I absolutely categorically refuse to believe not 1 person who saw this design didn't notice. It's not even a little bit discreet.

I can accept a few people may not have noticed but there is no way this went through all the stages of design and not one person twigged.

Comefromaway · 14/12/2020 19:33

I just see shoes.

MarshaBradyo · 14/12/2020 19:35

It took me a moment then I snorted

Unicant · 14/12/2020 19:49

I see penis i think its because there are three... why on earth have three shoes? But what troubles me most is that to me it makes more sense as three dicks...

Scoobydoobywho · 14/12/2020 20:04

Anyone else got it popping up (excuse the pun) as an advert.

shrill · 14/12/2020 20:12

I looked every which way then had to read MN replies before I could turn it into anything but shoes. Daft design but seriously I despair!

Monsterpage · 14/12/2020 20:13

I can only see shoes!! I’ve tried from many angles but can’t see a dick anywhere!

Nettleskeins · 14/12/2020 21:40

I only see shoes.
Could it be to do with "colour blindness"? It can affect how the image leaps out at you.

ThumbWitchesAbroad · 14/12/2020 22:33

I could only see it really in the middle shoe to start with - I think that one is the most obvious.

It's still bizarre - maybe it's true about the secret willy design award!

Clevererthanyou · 15/12/2020 00:14

I can’t deal with the three ugly shoes. What kind of mutant children are Monsoon catering for?

Pipandmum · 15/12/2020 00:17

They used to be great. Now they are full of boring stuff you could get anywhere. But this takes it to a new low. I hope some poor little girl isn't wearing this right now...
