Strong Bones, Sexy Dresses: Fabric Made From Milk

Seen here making a giant Spongebob costume, 28-year-old German biochemist/fashion designer Anke Domaske pretends to measure something while an older lady dozes off behind her. Anke recently won an innovation award from the German Textile Research Association (how prestigious!) for Qmilch, a new hypoallergenic fabric made from sour milk . No word if it’ll kill those who’re lactose intolerant. Domaske concedes that at euro20 ($28) per kilogram (1/2 pound), her fabric costs more to produce than even organic cotton, which goes for about 40 percent less. But she hopes local production will keep down transport costs and reduce the overall price. She also notes that only 2 liters (a half gallon) of water is needed to produce 1 kilogram (2 pounds) of fabric, or enough to make several standard dresses. By comparison, the same amount of cotton requires more than 10,000 liters of water. Not gonna lie, I’m a pretty messy eater so I do wind up wearing a lot of my food. Just…not like this. “There’s spaghetti on your shirt.” I know — there’s some in my pants too. “WITH meatballs?” Wow, can you even open your mouth without something perverted falling out? “Look who’s talking!” Hey I just type them, there’s a difference. Milk does a body good _ even when worn [yahoo] Thanks to Mike and Melissa, who both got orange juice pajamas for Christmas one year.

Homemade Ghostbusters Pillow Proton Packs

One time I accidentally crossed the streams with some dude at one of those long trough urinals and I think some of his urine splattered on my hand. You know, just FYI. This is a homemade Ghostbusters pillow proton pack lovingly crafted by Etsy seller JezebelRose. It is not to be confused with those functional Ghostbusters proton pack backpacks , which aren’t so much made with love as manufactured with child labor . A made to order PPP will set you back $150 but does not include the ghost trap. Those are sold separately. Also: Micro Machines . Do they still make those things? I remember I used to always get in trouble for keeping all my favorite cars in my mouth. I used to call it “the garage” (pronounced ‘HUU GUUAAH’ with a mouthful of little cars). Now? Now I call it the grill . “I’d slap my meat on it, GW!” Hoho — well done. Hit the jump for a couple more shots and a link to the Etsy.

Craft Time!: Make Your Own D-20 Handbag

Be honest, every single one of you would rock this handbag . I know I would, and I don’t give a dang if it clashes with my live bear chaps or not (all man, baby). Available from evilmadscientist as mini and full-size kits ($20 and $25, respectively) you’re still gonna have to know how to sew. Which I, unfortunately, do not. Last time I tried mending a tear in my jeans I ended up sewing my penis to my ankle. True story. Hit the jump for some shots of the unfinished kit so you can get a real sense of all the fun to be had.
