Wearable Art?

This right here is the Teddy Bear Jacket from Sebastian Errazuriz, the artist/designer who also brought us the Zipper Dress (see below).

Let me just say that the TB coat is creepy. Soft, but still creepy. It reminds me of that scene from Ghostbusters, when the rich lady is walking down the streets of Manhattan and her fox fur coat comes alive with lots of little foxes and starts to attack her. Remember that scene? Not fun.

The Zipper Dress is cool actually, I like the idea behind it. But a) I bet it's extremely uncomfortable and b) you run the risk of looking like a big ole ho if not zipped properly!

Strange Stories

BALLOON BUDDIES
Laura Buxton released a helium-filled balloon during celebrations for her grandparents’ gold wedding anniversary in Blurton, Staffordshire, in June 2001. Attached to the balloon were her name and address and a note asking the finder to write back. Ten days later, she received a reply. The balloon had been found by another Laura Buxton in the garden hedge of her home in Pewsey, Wiltshire, 140 miles away. Both Lauras were aged ten, and both had three-year-old black Labradors, a guinea pig, and a rabbit. “I hope we can become best friends,” said the Staffordshire Laura.

PHANTOM CAR CRASH
On December 11, 2002, two motorists called the police to report seeing a car veer off the A3 trunk road with headlights blazing at Burpham in Surrey. A thorough search uncovered a car concealed in dense undergrowth and the long-dead driver nearby. It turned out that the crash had happened five months earlier; the driver, Christopher Chandler, had been reported missing by his brother.

Wtf... Depression cartoons?
