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.

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

Jill Harness — Sat, 17 Jan 2009 00:11:42 +0000

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

Jill Harness — Wed, 14 Jan 2009 02:12:49 +0000

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.

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.

If you’re a person who loves uneven tan lines, this sun tattoo is just the thing for you. At least if you get skin cancer, it will come in a pretty design.
