If you looked at this item and guessed right away that it was a lamp, give yourself a high-five.
I thought it was maybe a tractor cog, or a toy for highly advanced toddlers, teaching them how to stack rings while they learned about the solar system at the same time. I see the Milky Way!
But didn’t Missey do a great job de-ugging it? Check it out on her hilarious blog, RedoPalooza. Unbelievably, this (before) lamp wouldn’t even be a contender in the Ugly Lamp Contest. I have gotten some doozies so far that are going to blow your mind with fugtasticness. Enter your ugly lamp today!
