Books and art: Neil Gaimen crazy hair
I found a book in a charity shop called Crazy Hair and instantly loved the illustrations, they are unlike any i have seen in a childrens book before so felt it worthy of sharing. here is a link to buy on amazon http://www.amazon.co.uk/s/?ie=UTF8&keywords=neil+gaiman+crazy+hair&tag=googhydr-21&index=aps&hvadid=10152257806&hvpos=1t1&hvexid=&hvnetw=g&hvrand=18929662071995673979&hvpone=&hvptwo=&hvqmt=e&ref=pd_sl_7wh13s7p26_e

ethical fashion?
Rachel Freire is the designer of this dress it has been made of 3,000 cow and yak nipples. Normaly these parts of the animals go to waste but is this really necesary? i think there is a good reason why not, im all for recycling and getting the best out of everything but i dont think wearing 20 nipples on your shoulders is particularly attractive. All props to Rachel its not been done before ant the actual flower like shapes she has made are beautiful, but nipples are nipples.
