    Wanna buy a skin ring?

    Now why didn't I think of this...

    Fashion designer Sruli Recht combines a 4-inch piece of himself with a gold ring to create a unique fashion accessory that comes with a DNA certificate. Got $470,000 to spare?


    And it is incredibly ugly...





    I think I will have my appendix removed, and make it into a lovely necklace. Since I only have one appendix, whereas Sruli Recht still has plenty of skin left, I figure my appendicitis necklace - if it is ugly enough - should sell for about $550,000. And I'll include an 8x10 glossy of my opened abdomen as a momento.
    Every moment of a life is a horrible tragedy, a slapstick comedy, dark nihilism, golden illumination, or nothing at all; depending on how we write the story we tell ourselves.

      I think the hair makes it worse.

        Now why would anyone want to pay all that money for that?!

              Actually, there is a bidding war going on, and the price is somewhat higher currently...

                It may be the hair, Dunno that shaving it would make me feel better.
                Also, I'm not entirely sure I could wear something squishy and furry on my hand...
                I hope no one wears it.







                and totally still gross...
                This bugs me more thent the selling and eating of the japanese cook's man parts.
                and I don't understand why...

                  The cook should have saved enough skin (foreskin would do it) to make a ring, and clear another few thousand yen...

                  Is there hair on a foreskin?

                    Eating it apparently does not bother me, wearing it skeeves me the heck out...

                      Ugh, that's foul. On the other hand, if I thought someone was willing to pay that much for a small chunk of my skin...

                        How much are you asking for a pound of flesh? Is the blood included, or is there an extra charge for juice?

                          I haven't clicked the link (I'm posting from work ATM) but the gist of what I've gotten out of this really made me think of this "Lost Girl" episode I watched on Netflix yesterday about a Lich. And another episode some time prior about a "Flesh eater". I can imagine people like *that* purchasing a skin rug.

                            Actually, I read a Roger Zelazny novel in which a character who had been made into mostly metal wore a skin ring (made from his own former skin) to remind him he was human (when he got a new body, he started to wear a metal ring...). That I can get.

                            What I don't get is why somebody would want to wear THIS guy's skin. It doesn't even have a tattoo on it.

                              Y'all know that I am open minded, and tolerant of some of the strangest behaviors of humankind, but...

                              Even I have to agree. This is gross. Dude, why leave the hair on that thing? How difficult would it have been to just shave that one patch of belly? It's not like it wasn't going to be all itchy and irritated while the hair grew back.
