Skin Deep

Wish I Had a Body Like That

There is something deeply disturbing about these two images. I guess the idea of wearing another person’s skin is reminiscent of “Buffalo Bill” from “The Silence of the Lambs” who kidnapped women and then skinned them so that he could make a female suit.

This hoodie comes complete with a tattoo but I think you would still have to have a reasonable body to look good in it. Actually, strike that, I don’t think anyone can look reasonably good wearing another’s skin.

The other image is also a bit weird. These are a set of designer shoes that have been commissioned by the Cheltenham Horse Race Meeting which is currently underway just up the road from Bristol. They look like some part of a pantomine outfit. For those non-Brit followers, we have this peculiar stage form where people dress up as horses and cows.

Seriously, Would You Wear These?

Anyway, outside of panto, I think dressing like an animal is strange. I guess the hypocrisy I am voicing is that I don’t think there is anything amiss about wearing animal skin.  Leather, is of course, just another skin but like many aspects of the human animal relationship, we prefer not to be reminded too much of where it came from.

    As they say, never let somebody get under your skin!! Let the fat guy get under the skinny guys skin. He’ll still be fat!!

  3. Kulitnya putih bersih, dengan betis yang woow, berambut menantang pastilah perempuan menawan ini punya nafsu seksual yang
    liar, itu kata temanku yang pengalaman seksnya tinggi Buah
    dadanya menonjol menyembul dari balik gaun tidur itu, apalagi dikala
    dia melangkah di sampingku, samar-samar dari sudut mataku
    nampak menawan payudaranya yang putih lembut

    “Uh , apa ini gara-gara film itu?”, batinku lagi

    Imajinasi bos aon338 mulai kurang didik, atau selama ini saya mengamati cs senantiasa
    menerapkan kutang seksi dan berhijab jadi saya tak tahu format tubuhnya yang hakekatnya, segera saya memasukkan bayang-bayang ke dalam adegan film tadi

    “Hmm ”, tidak sadar mulutku mengeluarkan bunyi itu
    “Ada apa, Di?”, isteri bos aon338 itu memandangku dengan alis
    berkerut

    “Eh , kau ngelamun yah, ngelamunin siapa sih? cs yang seksi?”, tanyanya
    memandang cs seksi dada bos dan leader aon338 berdesir sesaat pandangan mataku
    tertuju pada belahan dadanya

What do you think?
