The Adventures of Ugly Cupcake Necklace

6/10/2015

Spotted, Ugly Cupcake Necklace around Melissa McCarthys neck in the movie Spy... But how did it get there?

In early 2014 I was asked about re-making more of these hideous cupcake necklaces for a movie. I can just imagine someone typing "ugly necklace" into a search engine and being bombarded with the possibilities. Among them was a picture of the ugly cupcake necklace I sold back in 2010.

Even tho I had just closed up shop days prior to the email (I had some wickedly sore hands), I couldn't say no to the possibility of seeing one in film... I slowly created five more of these necklaces and shipped them off to Budapest. At the time I had no idea what kind of movie they might be in.

work in progress: five ugly cupcake necklaces made for the movie Spy
I cheated a little and checked many reviews before seeing Spy. I pretty much knew how the necklace was going to be introduced and in what context. What I didn't know was how much it was going to be seen throughout the film. It was a really cool surprise to see a few close ups on the cupcake and the part it played in the storyline.
Ugly Cupcake Necklace makes its first appearance at 0:13 seconds

Now I only wonder what the original owner would think if she were to all of a sudden see her necklace in this way without any warning... it makes me giggle.

All in all Spy was a funny movie. I've always been a fan of Melissa McCarthys comedy and the way she can take what could have been an inflated piece of humor and ground it so well.
She certainly delivered as Susan Cooper.

Details on the new line of strange clothing and jewelry will be posted on the facebook fanpage as they emerge.

Could you possibly make the necklace into a Christmas tree ornament? With "Spy" monogrammed on the back? This would be amazing.
