Roadside fashion
Published 1:47 pm Monday, December 14, 2015
Either way, you’ll shudder: A Boston-area woman’s business, Petite Mort Fur, makes garments and hats from the pelts of roadkill — which she often gathers and skins herself.
The roadkill furs have confused animal rights activists, who aren’t sure whether to throw buckets of fake blood on people wearing the items or spray them with yellow pavement-stripe paint.
It’ll be yuuuge: Speaking of people sprayed with something yellowish, Republican presidential front-runner Donald Trump will take center stage at tonight’s debate in Las Vegas. The show is set to begin at 5:30 p.m. local time on CNN.
The debate organizers might consider presenting bowling trophies to whomever the pundits crown as the “winner” — although trophies might be confused with scale models of buildings with Trump’s name on them.
Channel-surfing the vast cultural wasteland: On tonight’s season finale of “The Voice,” they’ll be heaping loads of love and praise on a “rising new star.”
Spoiler alert: After tonight, we will never hear from the winner again.
