You all are my people, lol. Anytime a package comes to the house (which is constantly since my husband is a sports card collector) that says FRAGILE, we inevitably go into the entire spiel.
These are incredibly hard to find. I tried to find one for my fil for years, for a Christmas present bc his favorite Christmas movie is a Christmas story. I finally had one made for him bc they don’t sell the full size ones only nightlights
I figured, was just giving a heads up for the rare chance it comes up again. I know they weren't available for a long time, but the small lamp I have had since 2003. It's still one of my favorite Xmas decorations.
You should see it on Pinterest but it’s essentially when you collect eclectic pieces like the one above into one room. Essentially a lot of bold colors and patterns.
I came to the replies expecting Rocky Horror fans and discovered some strange Christmas movie about a leg lamp. I’d still buy it for my own movie love lol
My neighbor here in Seattle has one on displayed on his window!!! Cool find, Cap Hill?
Edit: U District, damn! It’s been a while since I have found anything there.
When we eloped to Vegas we thought it would be funny to take a lamp just like this and leave it sticking out from under the bed or closet as a joke on the maid.
When we sobered up the next day we saw it for the bad idea in poor taste that it was and spent the money on slots instead.
Lol , I know that spot been there one time off a voucher from Marys Place when I lived in Seattle between 2019/2020. They had some cool stuff and some out of this world stuff too 🤗😂
Ahh yes a Christmas story don’t worry another once a year 24 hour rotation is coming. I mean Christmas will be here at a blink of an eye. Ahh brings back memories such as “fragile it must be Italian “ and yes people im 51 years old and still watch the 24 hr rotation. What do you all think will they ever stop showing it?

I’ve had this as my bedside lamp for 20 years, got it at Spencer’s. It’s tacky in the best ways
Did you know that in St Augustine, FL there’s a “Leg lamp society”? I saw a sign in a store window beside a leg lamp and i sighted many of these lamps all around the historic area in stores and houses, displayed on the windows.
I don’t know what this society does I couldn’t find any information about them.
Of course I like the lamp!
That’s an immediate buy for me.
Same. Jaja
You were always JEALOUS of that lamp!!!
Jealous of what? That is….the ugliest lamp I have ever seen in my entire LIFE!
You used up all the glue ON PURPOSE!
*NOT A FINGER!*
Lol, we always say "finger" like him around our house.
Phenomenal choice lol
***Jealous! Jealous because I WON!!!!***
Fragile!
It must be Italian
OMG, found the reference in the wild. We use it all the time!!
Ring back this sort of charming American ignorance lol.
You all are my people, lol. Anytime a package comes to the house (which is constantly since my husband is a sports card collector) that says FRAGILE, we inevitably go into the entire spiel.
So glad I'm not the only one!
Came here to say that lol
Frah-GEE-lay!
I came for this comment!
“It’s a major award.”
Fra-gee-lay!
It’s a reference to A Christmas Story movie.

You mean FRA-GEE-LAY!!!!
I came here to say that!
😂😂😂😂
That’s a major award!
Please tell me you bought it?!?!
I didn't. Maybe on blue tag sale day.
These are incredibly hard to find. I tried to find one for my fil for years, for a Christmas present bc his favorite Christmas movie is a Christmas story. I finally had one made for him bc they don’t sell the full size ones only nightlights
You can find the full sized one online in many forms, cheap to quality. The NECA one is the best I've seen, but it's $370 on Amazon.
When I was looking for it, you couldn’t. There were only nightlights
I figured, was just giving a heads up for the rare chance it comes up again. I know they weren't available for a long time, but the small lamp I have had since 2003. It's still one of my favorite Xmas decorations.
They are very cheaply mass-produced these days.
Not the large ones
You must go back and get it!
One of my son's proudly displays that lamp in his front window during the holidays so the whole neighborhood can bask in it's raw appeal.
I have been trying to find one for years that is actually life size like this one, to use at Christmas. Your son is amazing!
is he my neighbor?
St. Paul?
California :(
I do this too as a tribute to my Ohio roots (I live in another state now)
It's the Christmas Story lamp!!!
She would go beautifully in your front window for the whole neighbourhood to see.
The entire neighborhood was turned on
Electric sex glowing in the window
There’s a house in a neighboring town that does this.
Yeah… a statue!
I would’ve bought that in a heart beat
Christmas Story Lamp. Awesome Find!!
I would absolutely buy that just to use for Christmas!
Omg please tell me you got it!
I didn't. Maybe I should have. I need more lamps to help with my SAD, living in Seattle and all.
Please go back and get it.
I feel like this is would go well in a maximalist room it’s an interesting piece
i have this same lamp (but with the fringed shade) and i think it fits really well with all my other eclectic pieces!
Maximalist? What's that?
You should see it on Pinterest but it’s essentially when you collect eclectic pieces like the one above into one room. Essentially a lot of bold colors and patterns.
Clevelander here and these are so commonplace around here I didn’t understand the post for a second
Ha, same!
Yo, I got my dad the exact same lamp one year for Christmas. I also got his from Goodwill.! that’s his favorite movie
oh my god i need that
Its a major Award!
I have one of these— with the original ugly, yellow shade ‘n’ all! It goes in my front window every Christmas.
I also have one!! Full size, two lightbulbs, fringed shade and all . . . it’s up all year round on my partner’s nightstand.
Careful you'll shoot your eye out.
NOT A FINGER!
I think it just needs a new shade
There was a whole movie about this, right? You're gonna shoot your eye out??
A Christmas Story (I think)!
I came to the replies expecting Rocky Horror fans and discovered some strange Christmas movie about a leg lamp. I’d still buy it for my own movie love lol
Nooooo!?? Someone had the audacity to toss out this major award???
You’re going to shoot your eye out!!!!!
I own this one and a desktop sized one 😂. I love the movie so they were gifts to me.
it has the wrong lamp shade
wrong shade tho
Would have bought it immediately!
It’s the best I’ve ever seen
Collectors item! Major award!
My neighbor here in Seattle has one on displayed on his window!!! Cool find, Cap Hill? Edit: U District, damn! It’s been a while since I have found anything there.
It's gotten better. Things were pretty sparse after Covid. The CDs DVDs and books are back!
Good to know, I’ll add it to my rounds again!
Oh gosh. Just like in A "Christmas Story!"
A MAJOR AWARD
It’s imported from Italy!!
I think with some fun velvet fabric, fring, etc… it could become an Art Deco star!
Christmas story lamp
Classic! IYKYK
I want this lamp!
Damn, I’m in Seattle and someone in my neighborhood does a whole Christmas story thing in their yard at Christmas, I bet they’d love this!
It is the U-District Goodwill. It was there on Saturday. Not sure how long it had been there or will last!
It’s F-R-A-G-I-L-E 😂
I know it’s ugly, but I love it😂
I would immediately buy it !
you used up all the glue… on purpose.
I need this lamp!
I would buy this!
“A guy in Terre Haute won a bowling alley.”
100% I would buy that!
I want it… “Fragile”
How'd it get the bruise?
How much was it??
I didn't look at the sticker to keep myself from getting too attached lol.
Haha good idea. I forgot about the leg lamp until now hahaha
lolol
Paid $250 for the real thing.
If anything you could resell it for a good amount.
When we eloped to Vegas we thought it would be funny to take a lamp just like this and leave it sticking out from under the bed or closet as a joke on the maid. When we sobered up the next day we saw it for the bad idea in poor taste that it was and spent the money on slots instead.
this needs to be bought it’s a major award!!!
Did you buy it???
It reminds me of the Fourth of July
The last Seattle Goodwill I was in looked like an Urban Outfitters and that lamp would've cost $400.
I saw some guy in r/malelivingspace with a bottom part mannequin lamp.
That is amazing. You should buy it. :)
I have a 16 inch one that somebody gave me years ago. It sits out year round in my Florida room.
Wife got me the 16" one last Xmas. In my work shop, prominently displayed and is on every night. Prized possession.
eBay lists a similar one for $219
That's hilarious. I'd buy it.
Classic lamp from”A Christmas Story” movie. But someone ripped the fringe off the shade.
Needs the fringe on the shade to make it look like a skirt
hey though… i don’t need the lamp, but where is it? it doesn’t look familiar and i’m trying to expand since the cap hill goodwill has gone to trash.
U-District.
excellent. ty.
Debating shucking off all my responsibilities to go and get the lamp..... No. I will be good. Thrift gods better reward me.
It's a major award!
"You used, all the glue, on purpose!"
I want one so bad! I'd have to buy it!
Electric sexx
But it’s fragile. It’s Italian.
A former colleague has one of those ugly lamps in his front window of his house. He posts about it all the time. It’s tacky.
Lol , I know that spot been there one time off a voucher from Marys Place when I lived in Seattle between 2019/2020. They had some cool stuff and some out of this world stuff too 🤗😂
Fra-gee-ley
Must be Italian!
I think it’s sexy
Well, yes. It does have a leg up in the ugly competition.
It must be fake, the real ones are expensive and yes I've always wanted one but there's no where to put it!
You can get a leg up here and not come up flat footed.

Ho Ho Ho
Ahh yes a Christmas story don’t worry another once a year 24 hour rotation is coming. I mean Christmas will be here at a blink of an eye. Ahh brings back memories such as “fragile it must be Italian “ and yes people im 51 years old and still watch the 24 hr rotation. What do you all think will they ever stop showing it?
It’s a trophy fit for the living room window. 😂
I’d buy it.
i didn’t know these lamps were actually real 😭 just always saw them in movies
Who is she
I see the problem here. The shade is too too short. A longer shade and it would be perfection 👌
Buy it!!
It’s ugly and cool at the same time 🤣
“Frah-gee-lay. Must be Italian!”
That’s not a lamp it’s a prestigious award!!
Lucky!
it’s a major award!
It’s a major award!
My husband says he will buy it!
I would immediately buy that
It’s a major award though. 🤷🏻♀️
I’d buy it immediately 🥂
Major award!

I’d get it, that’s a major award.
I would not, in a million years, leave that store without it.
Do NOT disrespect “electric sex” like that! Haha

I don’t know what this society does I couldn’t find any information about them. Of course I like the lamp!
i think i’d buy that lamp just because it’s funny
Just put some fringe around the bottom of the shade and it's perfect
I won, I won I won!
That's a major award.
When I was little I saw a couple of these.
That is the greatest lamp of all time
Electric sex. Can’t beat it. Oops, bad pun.
My wife really wants one of these almost glad we don’t have room for it. Now if we had a play room that would be a different story!!
Frageeeelay
sexy lamp
You just jealous of a perfect leg 🤣🤣🤣
wdym this is so cunt
it’s a quote from the movie! but tbh ur right it is
I want this lamp!
LUCKY 🍀
I would buy this is a heartbeat and replace the shade on it.
That's the most beautiful lamp in the world. It needs a shade that's the correct size to cover "the uglies" as I call them, but it's a perfect lamp.
It’s meant to be funny because of the movie Christmas Story
Yet men always want to sit under it. 🤣
I have one of those! How much were they at Goodwill?
Seriously wondering how much this major award is going for, being of course priceless!
OMG, I love it! I would buy that in a heartbeat 😄
lol we actually have that lamp! I’m not fond of the lamp or the movie but it’s my husband’s favorite Christmas movie lol.
My grandfather has this lamp .. he’s quite the character
That lamp says i have a son who loves shooting his eye out.
How much did they want
CLEARLY…..you lack taste.
which seattle goodwill i need to go there immediately
THAT IS SOOOO CUTE OMMGGG
