Nothing says sexy like an octopus hanging from your clavicle! Designer Dominc Jones made these jewelry inspired by animals and stuff. You may remember him from those gloves he made with the fingernails attached to it. Epic, if you ask me. Anyway, this was from a shoot at Vice Magazine, in case you’re wondering. The snail necklace must be the most uncomfortable to wear. I bet it feels like leeches, all slimy and stuff. That necklace wouldn’t last in house since my husband eats snails. He’d be like, “Mmmmm, appetizers!” and snatch it off my neck- no joke. The fish heads are pretty gnarly to. It’s totally staring back at you saying, “why you gotta be like that?”.

So, one day I was sucked into the internet vortex and found these photos buried deep after I clicked on links of links of links. I’m kinda glad because look what I brought home! I feel like a kitty that just caught a mouse and plopped it at the front door, all bloody and everything. Aren’t you proud, my dear readers!? Just nod your head. Anyway, where to begin?
1- Gold Gun Handbag- Sort of like the pimp staple, “ the goldfish in the platform shoes“. Just wondering if the purse actually stores anything else and can the gun come out and be used, hmmm?. These are the important questions, people!
2-Tanning Stencil- I already think tanning is so “Jersey Shore”, so this is truly awful. I expect to see this on exotic dancers at Mons Venus in Tampa, Florida in the very near future.
3-Birdcage dress- Ummm… I wouldn’t put a birdcage there. My cats could totally jump up that far, especially my fiesty cat, Miss Coco.
4-The Flasher dress- It’s like, for the high-end flasher because it opens like a pretty present. Except, I’m guessing this dude would wear this in real life and not a fashion model.

Check out these ‘Garment Sculptures’ by British artist, Susie MacMurray. The first photo are rubber household gloves…like the type you wash toilets with. And the second photos is a collection of red balloons that are deflated. The last two photos is a dress made entirely of pins and needles. This is some Hellraiser sh*t! Like seriously, imagine all those needles on you. I’d be so scared to move, sit, smile, itch, or blink. Even a porcupine would run away from you with it’s tail between its legs. (I wonder if porcupines have tails.) He’d run away saying, “I quit this b*itch!” . Actually I think it would roll into a ball and roll away. You know, pack up leave. Anyway, I thought this photo fit in nicely with the pins and needles theme:
It’s a Chinese Military dude keeping his head up for a march. The pins keep him from looking down. Dang! They don’t mess around, do they!

Now I know what to do with my duvet that has cat piss stains on it -Dye it an inconspicuous grey-ish brown color and wrap it around me. This totally beats wearing pajamas in public. You can always count on Rick Owens to whip out the goth with a touch of WTF. The dramatic eye makeup reminds me of when I used to wear dramatic eye makeup at Newport Creamery. In case you have no idea what Newport Creamery is, basically it’s an ice cream parlor and diner in New England and yes, I was a waitress during my youth there. I used to scare customers (mostly elderly) with my makeup since we all had to wear uniforms. I had to channel my style through something! And so I chose my makeup. By the end of the shift, my eye makeup was smudged down my cheeks from the manual labor of scooping ice cream and greasy air. Anyway, there’s a duvet DIY in here somewhere!

If you like the works of David LaChapelle, then you will LOVE the works of Brian Walker. This Australian contemporary digital artist uses fashion as a canvas and adds his own sick touches. That’s what I’m talking about it!! Finally, someone who plays around with fashion photos and spits our colorful gore with a touch of kitsch. Yesssssssssss. Anyway, check out his site called “Lick the Sun” for a plethora of fantastic artwork, including a chick shaving pieces of flesh off herself, superlong eyelashes, and a zombie kit. This is stuff that would look amazing hanging above the fireplace.

Before we start, when I was a kid I used to stick pillows underneath my clothes and pretend I was pregnant and/or fat. Yes, I was the poster child for ‘Not Right’. Anyway, when I saw this collection it brought me back to those days. This isn’t shocking compared to the ‘Bubble Butt’ collection that Rei Kawakubo put out in 1996. She focused on ‘deformities’ and the natural body. Quasimodo is basically her muse. At least, these dresses will save you from a few bruises if you trip like a fool. I’m in the mood for marshmallows all of a sudden.

Check out these teabags from German company, Donkey. Each teabag comes with a fashion figure soaking their crotches in your tea.The team includes:
Karl Lagerfeld (will he call you fat?)
Jean Paul Gaultier (probably pissing in your tea and finds it hilarious!)
Donatella Versace (does it taste like hairspray, tanning lotion and ciggies?)
Naomi Cambell (will she throw the lemon back at you?)
Kate Moss (She prefers lots of sugar).
There are so many jokes (mostly inappropriate- MY FAVORITE!) involved with these teabags that I’m going to step slowly away and let your dirty little minds take over. In case fashion figures are not your cup of tea (oh, yes- pun intended!), try the soccer legends teabags, pirates, animals, and even royalty! Eight Euros will get you a pack of five, which can only mean that you have to double dip to get your money’s worth in American dollars. Check out the site for other stuff including Porn Confetti (because we all need Porn confetti) and this - which I still can’t figure out what you’re supposed to do with it. I mean, is it a candle or something??

Ukrainian fashion designer Olexiy Zalevskiy must have been watching Mars Attacks! when he was designing his Fall 2010 collection. Normally, I don’t cover Ukrainian fashion week- I had no idea they had one until I saw this on James St. James’ blog. I always thought Ukrainian’s are too busy folk dancing and eating borscht. I’m so wrong- I know. But, Olexiy (love that name!) actually makes some cool collections that you may nave to explore during your boss’s time. Check out his website which includes a Kenny Rogers look-a-like getting married, a bunch of lit candles melting onto some model’s head, a dude with a dozen syringes sticking out of his head, and a dress made out of hair- you know the usual.

I love love love Viktor & Rolf ! Check out this multi -layered coat that must weigh more than a fat 6th grader. It reminds me of those nesting Russian dolls that I love dearly. The use of stiff tulle still echoes through this season. Check out the gown in the second photo- you could totally hip-check the crap out someone with minimal effort. I like that. Victor and Rolf seem like the kind of dudes that want you to touch their monkey. I mean every episode of ‘Sprockets’ is probably on their iPod touch. With that being said, Victor & Rolf can do wrong in my book!

If you ever wondered what it would look like if Bollywood vomited all over the Chrylser Building in the far future, look above. I can’t hate on this because I would totally wear this to the fun fair. There’s a 90’s club kid aspect that I can totally appreciate. The wigs are the bomb! I like the choppy, uneven bangs- nothing says sexy like a flash of forehead. Anyway, I do like Manish Arora’s designs because he definitely marches to his own tune and isn’t afraid of color like some designers. Who cares if you look like a Toucan Sam! The world is not a funeral! Yay for Manish!
