Bloody Hell?

Posted on 26 September 2005

I suppose it’s de rigeur of me to criticize those on-the-edge artists whose works exist to shock and titillate, rather than to uplift mankind. But sometimes you’ve just gotta let your jaws drop and share something that’s profoundly weird!

Check out this web page for a look at the Blood Scarf. Never before was a garment that is knit solely of vinyl tubing so aptly named.

Rates about a 10 on the “Eww!” scale, doesn’t it? And I couldn’t help thinking, “Well, it would certainly be WARM …” (Okay, I’ll stop before I further gross myself out.) But you should also check out some of the other off-the-wall postings on this artist’s site, too. Definitely thought-provoking — if not also lunch-hurling.
