How about a T-Shirt
Ball Gown? The latest to hit the scene: T-shirt ball gowns. The
one shown to the right is designed by Angela Johnson
(ANJ1020-XS-BLK-N). Designer Angela
Johnson constructs black-tie dresses from
vintage tees. Each full-length frock has a strapless
bodice (darted for a flattering fit) and a full
skirt, making them perfect for holiday soirees.
From her site the description is: "You'll
be the belle of the Goodwill Ball in this beautiful, hand crafted,
Cinderella-style, full length ball gown made from "thrifted"
and vintage T-shirts. Each dress is unique and one-of-a-kind because
they are each made with whatever T-shirts can be scavenged at the time
they are made. You can leave the T-shirt choices up to Angela or
supply your own. WARNING: As with the rest of Angela's
clothing, you have to expect that Angela's sense of humor will be
included with this dress. This dress does not include the full-length
crinoline/hoop skirt to be worn underneath. Must be purchased
separately below for an additional $60. Every gown is one-of-a-kind, and they’re
perfect for any bash that requires casual elegance." Available at Unsung Designers, 2412 18th Street
NW, in the alley (202-234-1788

The BBC (source) goes on to note that the techniques developed while making these wedding bands will eventually be used to grow bone for cancer patients or others who need bone replacements. A little history ... at the Just Born factory in Bethlehem, Pa., 3.8 million candy Peeps are hatched per day. A never-ending flow of pastel battalions of birdies march down the assembly line. Their marshmallow bodies get a coat of colored sugar, a pneumatic gun affixes their wax eyes, and finally they're dropped into a cardboard cradle, tucked in with cellophane, and shipped out to the world. After that, a Peep's fate is anyone's guess. Americans eat more than 600 million Peeps and Bunnies -- their Easter counterparts – per year. Globally, a billion are consumed per year. But that's not exactly accurate; not all of them are eaten. Some become art, some become pets, and some are tortured by mad scientists trying to discover what a Peep's breaking point is. Whether as candy or toy, Peeps hold a revered place in American culture, to the point that they're now a ritual. Part of that ritual: the eating of the Peeps.
