Finally, a retail product that gives poignant new meaning to the expression, "gets under my skin." I know what I want for Cristmas! (Not.)
"Each SkinBbag is handmade on demand."
Well if it's synth, I don't see the big deal with it being handmade.
Gore + Chic = Very Chic
Yup. I bet the Democrats are kicking themselves right now.
Finally! Fashion makes some sense to me!
i think this is the first time i've ever seen some wacky web thing _before_ jwz posted it here. for some reason this makes me feel good. obviously i should get out more.
also, this totally squicked me out. man, the french!
According to the site, anyway. Which is actually disappointing.
I was anticipating William Gibson inspired vats of genetically grown, harvested, and tanned human skin.
I think that means I'm allergic to my own skin then.
dang it.
If you want real skin, head over to Body Worlds, currently showing at the California Science Center. It features plastinized cadavers, dismembered, cross-sectioned, and artfully posed. I'm gonna try to go this weekend.
If you want real skin, go somewhere else, because plastinized cadavers are made out of plaster.
Er, no, you're wrong. Plastinized cadavers are made out of CADAVERS. They're treated so the water in the cells is replaced with some sort of plastic - I believe silicone.

I have a feeling that integrating some sort of wearable computing in with this would be ridiculously cool.
But Goulet claims it is simply psychological hang-ups that prevent the people who don't like this work have from wanting to wear streaky flayed " skin " around their bodies. " It is obvious they refuse a part of themselves, " he claims. " The softness of the bags evokes regression, the troubled, primary aspect we have. It's shapelessness does that too
Yeah, hrm, if I was fully self-actualized, I'd think these cheesy latex Halloween costumes fash? I've never been so glad to be neurotic.
I want the laptop case. But the cost!
This reminds me of Nicola Constantino's work; she made clothing out of silicone with nipples and/or anuses sticking out all over.
