It's a Trap


Have you ever seen a footless bear or a three-legged beaver? Well, thanks to foothold traps, they actually exist in the wild. Several states have banned the use of these traps (which are primarily used by hunters to trap and skin fur-bearing animals.) But these [barbaric] traps continue to hide among the brush and grass, trapping everything from neighborhood dogs and cats to the occasional human. Even supermodels aren't immune, as demonstrated by the photo of Gemma Ward (above).



For those of you interested in displaying one of these antiquated torture devices on your person, I've assembled the recent proliferation of trap accessory options for your viewing pleasure. Just don't be surprised if/when an animal rights activist throws you a wicked stare. After all, to some it would be akin to wearing a pendant of a baby seal getting it's skull crushed in.

So Many Heads, So Little Time...


I'm usually a big fan of Vicente Gracia's work, but these animal head pieces from his new "Once Upon a Time" collection remind me of an animal trophy wall at a hunting lodge. *Creepy* What's worse, each piece will run you a minimum of $6,000 USD (the price you pay for setting a new trend, I take it?) Hey, at least you have something for the crazy cat lady on your holiday list! Or that distant relative that you really, really dislike ;)

Currently Obsessed With: Latex Gloves

Aniqa Mittens and dress by HMS Latex

In my not-so-imaginary world, the world "latex" usually conjures up images of my yearly gynecological exam, with the doctor snapping on a pair of latex gloves before going in for the kill. But Sophie, the Paris-based designer (and fashionable fetishist) behind HMS Latex has given me pause with these couture latex creations even Gaultier can sink his teeth into. And, while I don't usually wear gloves unless it's colder than a witches tit in a brass bra, I might actually be willing to take a pair of these for a spin. (You can see more of her amazing latex creations, including gowns, separates, and lingerie here.)

Get This Look: Imelda Matt Does Matte Gold


I love it when a man takes fashion risks (especially when it's a swanky shoe blogger from down under). Yes, that's right! It's my beloved Imelda Matt all decked out in matte gold foil. But swanky Aussie men aren't the only ones allowed to rock this trend. Here are some of my current faves, from tops and skirts to an entire arsenal of matching accessories.

Karl Lagerfeld Is Looking a Little Mousy


Adding fuel to my already nonsensical Karl Lagerfeld obsession, the amazing Anna at The House of Mouse created this Karl Lagermouse original (complete with sunglasses, french cuff shirt, and ponytail.) I wonder if he prefers Gouda over cheddar? Or maybe he's just lactose intolerant.

The Sexy, Sexy Spider

Triumph Awards, Japan (2009)

I've often wondered what makes spiders alluring to the opposite sex given their man-hating reputation. For instance, after a prolonged courtship, the female black widow kills her mate before laying her eggs. And during intercourse, the Australian male redback spider somersaults and twists its abdomen directly onto the fangs of the female as a sacrifice to increase his chances of paternity. This role-reversal undoubtedly draws some correlation between appearing as the weaker of the sexes while secretly wielding the power to overtake and possibly consume the dominant partner. In line with one of the tenants of S & M, it begs this question: "Do men find their own weakness and vulnerability to be the real turn on?"

MTV Can't Cure Cancer...

...but maybe it will make your boo-boo's feel better! Johnson & Johnson launched a limited-edition series of Band-Aids featuring artwork by Brazilian indie artists Carla Barth and João Lelo. The brand hopes to reach audiences looking to express themselves (so expect to see them on the skinned knees of skateboarders and x-gamers). Unfortunately, they are only be available in Brazil (unless we cry really loud and make lots of noise.)

Let's hope this collaboration means that VH1 has a limited-edition set coming out featuring the cast of Best Week Ever :) I would totally wear them!!
