Meat. It's what's for ... wearing? If you've got a ton of salami and bacon, some clear vinyl and about six hours to kill, then yes. The lovely ladies of Craftzine stumbled across this creation, crafted by one Jia Jem for her "Aqua Teen Hunger Force"-themed birthday party (she dressed up as Meatwad, the show's cartoon meatball). While the dress proved to be a hit with just about everyone but vegetarians, it was a one-wear affair, and no, she didn't eat it after she wore it.

Raw meat apparel isn't exactly new: The Canadian artist Jana Sterbak once made a gown using 50 pounds of raw flank steak, and the folks behind Hats of Meat have been crafting their eponymous chapeaus for a few years now. But this meat dress appears to be the most wearable, if only because it has a zipper and vinyl strips around the hem to catch all of the drippings (oh, the glamour).

Regardless of whether or not you yourself are tempted to don, say, prosciutto pants, this dress is bound to inspire some strong reactions. What do you think: Is the meat dress an inspired creation? A greasy abomination? Or the perfect answer to the perpetual conundrum of what to wear?

When I was in the fifth grade, I went through a phase where I wore hats to school everyday. I had a beloved felt fedora I picked up at a thrift store, a wide black hat (I think it would look a little Amish to me now), a huge straw hat designed to shield your face from the sun at the beach (my teacher made me take this one off, as it blocked my classmates' view of the chalkboard) and a burgundy one with a black ribbon (which made me feel like an English school girl).

What I did not have were any hats made from meat. And, according to the website, Hats of Meat, that means that I've been missing out on incorporating an enduring fashion accessory into my wardrobe. According to the Hats of Meat website, "In this country, the Pilgrims are generally credited with first realizing that meat is really a more sensible alternative to cloth or wool in terms of headwear." Makes sense to me!

Before the food waste folks come after, me I want to state that yes, this website is a joke. But it does an amazing job of maintaining the spoof for the entirety of the site. Reading through it is like stepping into an alternate reality, where people really to turn to whole chickens and beef steaks to keep themselves warm in the winter. It's a fun, harmless read and I'm certain you'll find a few giggles on the site.
