Posted by Alex in Pictures on June 17, 2009 at 3:55 am

Heck, people drink designer water at $55 a bottle (yes, I’m looking at you, Bling H2O), so why not sell designer band-aids to rich people that obviously get their papercuts from counting too much money?

Here’s an experimental leather band-aids by conceptual artist Scott Amron – now, you can fashionably dress your boo-boos for a mere $15: Link – via Refinery29 Pipeline

Bulletproof Fashion

Posted by Queuebot in Fashion, Weapons & War on April 9, 2009 at 4:10 pm

Colombian designer Miguel Caballero makes what is probably the world’s safest haute couture: his clothings are bullet-proof! To keep his customers safe, Miguel has made bulletproof jackets, polo shirts, and yes, even underwears …

Miguel Caballero slides open a box of 9mm bullets. “Choose one,” he says to his employee Lizeth Castaneda. He points his revolver at Castaneda’s abdomen and fires. Seconds later, his victim giggles with relief…

Caballero, 41, dresses presidents, government officials and their bodyguards, as well as businesspeople and celebrities, in discrete and stylish blazers, leather jackets and tuxedo shirts that can stop bullets shot from pistols and Mini Uzis

Bear Shaped Sleeping Bag

Posted by Queuebot in Animals & Pets, Art on February 21, 2009 at 6:56 am


Getting mauled has never been so fun! This bear-shaped sleeping bag designed by Eiko Ishizawa is, let’s face it, odd. But if you’re forced to curl into a sleeping bag and catch some Z’s in the great outdoors, why not masquerade as one of nature’s cutest predators? I’m sure it’s warm enough, and you can use it to frighten your friends. Plus, if a bear does attack your camp and maul your friends, you can rest easy knowing you’ll be safe. Because a bear would never maul one of its own, right? Quick warning, though, if that’s the case and Attacking Bear thinks Sleeping Bag Bear is cute, you may wish you were amongst the mauled.

A Guaranteed Way to Get Arrested

Posted by Queuebot in Art, Fashion on February 19, 2009 at 9:32 pm


Here’s a luggage set that’ll raise eyes at the airport. Designed by French artist PinkWolf, these attractive, satirical carrying cases feature molded gun, knife and axe designs on their exterior.

You can get a better look of the cases by visiting the artist’s website. The site’s in French, so if you speak the language you’re in luck. But if you’re like me and speak only two languages – English and bad English – there are plenty of pretty-shiny designs and pictures to look at.
