Triumph, the underwear company, has come up with something that’s usually made by the homeless: a bra made of two recyclable plastic cups. In a superhuman effort to connect agriculture and women’s breasts, Triumph announced that the bra might help Japanese women to extend their current passion for farming by wearing something that Triumph says can actually grow rice.
When sometimes you feel so “big and grand,” it’s always good to get reminded of what you actually contain.

The amusingly named Winkers, whose buttock-eyes appear to wink coquettishly at anybody following the wearer, are the invention of William A. Jones, a retired father of five and grandfather of seven who lives in Everett, Washington.
Jones says that the idea came to him when, naturally, he was checking out a woman as she walked past him. Nice.
[now, asses don't just have to be round and yummy, they should also "invitingly wink". for that special pervert who needs some encouragement]
Jia Jam’s Meatwad costume is made of real bacon and salami, and is hands-down the most awesome thing on earth.
I chose salami because it’s thin, keeps in one piece, and is quite cheap, and bacon because it looks very, um, meaty. I considered somehow vacuum-sealing sheets of meat with those sealers they have on the markets now, but the machines were too expensive for a one-time-only disposeable dress. I ended up using the K.I.S.S. method of construction, which involved a basic shift dress out of thick cotton. I layed the meat on top, then put clear vinyl over it and sewed tracks with clear thread. I used a wide stitch length to avoid perforating the meat to the point it might just… uh, slide down the bottom of the dress. I also blotted it all before sewing to get rid of as much grease as possible to avoid clouding the vinyl. Lastly, I made sure to bind the bottom of the dress with a strip of clear vinyl to catch drips. (I love talking about this; it’s so disgusting.) The whole project took about 6 hours, and I kept it refrigerated until the party. Good times.
After the utterly logical man-bras, Triumph International showcases the “Konkatsu Bra,†which literally means “marriage-hunting†bra, in Tokyo.
The bra features a countdown clock showing the marriage deadline set by the wearer and when an engagement ring is inserted between the cups, the melody of “The Wedding March†is played to celebrate the engagement. The characters on the bra read, “now hunting for a husband.â€
Alright, these bras aren’t actually for sale.

‘I know not everybody likes mice and rats but they can be beautiful. I think the headdress is really cute. It is better to make rats and mice beautiful than give them to the snakes. I’m actually a vegetarian.
