50 Extreme & Bizarre Bags
It seems you can make a bag out of (or to look like) anything! An armadillo? Ground beef? Skunk fur? What I really can’t get my head around is why there’s a stall somewhere in the world selling hollowed out toads as handbags. Despite the zippable reptilian skin, golden chain strap, and dead toad eyes to keep an eye on your belongings, this bag is only for witches, wizards and Marilyn Manson. See these and a total of 50 of the most unusual bags seen anywhere.

Vinyl Records Purse
Do you still have piles of vinyl records you store for no reason? Here’s a cool and stylish way to re-use them: a vinyl record purse. Such things always look fashionable, I guess. Tasket Basket posted quite a few pictures of how she made this one.

Bulletproof Fashion
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

How Pantone Keeps Colors Fresh
Expo TV has a video interview with Lee Eisman, the Director of the
Pantone Color Institute. In the video, Eisman discusses how Pantone
chooses its colors and predicts color trends.
You may or may
not be surprised by the amount of research that goes into selecting new
colors and keeping existing colors fresh – factors ranging from
economic conditions, world affairs, clothing featured in the
entertainment industry, home décor trends and art trends play into the
decision making process.

Dead Dog Purse Based On Paris Hilton
It may be a little mean and silly, but I think this cute little dead dog purse is fantastic. Only problem, it’s $317.
“Based on Paris Hilton’s discarded pet Tinkerbell is an upside down dead Chihuahua. This design capitalizes on the trend of carrying a small dog as a fashion accessory.”

No Saggy Pants For You
At least, not if you live in Jackson, Mississippi. Although the city council voted down his proposition to outlaw saggy pants, Mayor Frank Melton has declared he will illegalize the fashion style by use of executive order. I wonder how the council will take this, since they said it was an unconstitutional thing to implement.
“I certainly respect the Constitution,” Melton said, “but we have some issues that are much bigger than the Constitution.”
I know Neatorama tries to stay unpolitical, but it is crucial for all of us to stand up and declare our rights to sag our pants.

Fan Dress Uses Recycling For Couture
I love this cute fan dress. Best of all, the fans are actually made from folded up junk mail and then sewn onto canvas. I bet you never thought all that crap you throw in the trash every day could be made so pretty.

Candy and Crystals On a Dress
This dress is not only pretty, it’s also delicious, since it’s made with Lindt chocolate Lindor balls. It would have been a great outfit for a Christmas or New Year’s Eve Party, as it’s a perfect season to share chocolates with your friends. Too bad you couldn’t really sit down and you’d end up naked by the end of the night thanks to moochers. Oh well, it’s the risk you take when you dress in food.

Longer Eyelashes, Just A Drug Away
The FDA has just approved a drug that will help lengthen your eyelashes. Hopefully they won’t get quite as long as the ones in this photo, but who knows the long term effects of eyelash medication overdoses?
The drug, Allergan, contains an active ingredient that was originally created to treat glaucoma, but found to have this pleasant side effect. The drug should be available in May and will cost $120 per each month’s supply. It will take about two to four months for the effect to start to show.

Phonebook Dress Brings Sexy Back
Recycling can be so sexy. Creator Jolis Paons pleated, sewed and glued this entire dress by hand. It’s gorgeous, but I have to admit, I would hope my number wasn’t visible on it.

Moms Find Solution To 'Plumber's Crack'
Two Central Coast moms say they have come up with a solution to the old problem of “plumber’s crack,” the revealing and often embarrassing problem of exposed backsides resulting from poorly fitting pants.
Christine Meeks and Kelley DeSerpa have come up with the Hip-T an invention designed to keep your assets covered.
Meeks and DeSerpa, who have patented their idea, said they came up with the idea when one of their daughters complained about the problem.
About a year ago, Meeks and DeSerpa converted a bedroom into an office and business with about $15,000 saved between them.
Most sales take place through their Web site and they have already shipped their product to addresses in all 50 states. The hip-T runs $19.95.
