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.)

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.
