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.

Guy: I AM Ezio Auditore. Girl: I’m smexy! Is Monteriggioni like macaroni? When you get right down to, there are very few things I need in the world. The love of a lady with knockers bigger than mine (shit, or smaller — just no penis) and a cool $10-million and I’d be set. That’s only two things — come on Santa! You fat f*** . But the list of things I want , that thing goes on for miles. Nautical ones (they’re a little longer!). Aaaaaaand includes this $55 ‘Monteriggioni’ Assassin’s Creed hoodie . I actually see a lot of Ezio in myself, you know? Plus every time I walk into a room I visualize how I’d silently stab every one of them without anyone else noticing? Because I do that. Jk jk, but one time I did bust ass and then hold the door closed. *leap-of-faiths off cubicle divider* Hit the jump for closeups.

This is a line of $20 magnetic nail polishes from Nails Inc. Gosh, I feel like such a sassy lil lady even talking nail polish with you girls! Basically it’s nail paint with iron powder in it (also great for anemic nail-biters) that a magnet can be used to make designs in while still wet. Sure you could just have a professional paint you some designs (or you could buy crackle polish!), but then what would we do when we’re all sitting around in our PJ’s talking about boys? OMG girls — what I wouldn’t do to give Magneto a HJ with this polish on, amirite?! Tehehehehehe! *wig falls off, girls screaming* CODE RED, MAGNETO — RENDEZVOUS AT THE SAFEHOUSE!

Ever wondered what Firefox, Opera, Internet Explorer, Chrome and Safari would look like as dresses? Yeah? WELL YOU NEED TO LAY OFF THE F***ING WEED AND GET A DAMN JOB. Please note: the dresses weren’t created to provide any social commentary about the browsers they’re based on, they’re just an exercise in design.

Episode seven of Put This On , a web series exploring how not to look like a slob, is really a stunner. This is the final episode in Jesse Thorn and Adam Lisagor ‘s project, and I hope they continue to do many more. What you’ll find in the video embedded above: Field correspondent Dave Hill visits the annual meeting of the Corduroy Appreciation Club , held each year on 11/11, the date which most resembles corduroy. He discovers a magical world, dedicated to the promotion of that most bookish of fabrics, and to the denigration of the sworn enemy of the wale: velvet . Then Roxana Altamirano brings a new Nerd Boyfriend segment, with an investigation of an icon of eccentric style, Andre Benjamin, aka Andre 3000 of Outkast. Plus: a conversation with one of the world’s most elegant men, Gay Talese. He’s not just one of America’s most celebrated magazine writers and the man who invented the contemporary magazine profile . He’s also one of the best-dressed men in the world, the son of an immigrant tailor who imbued in his progeny a love of fine clothing. Besides that, he’s got his own lapel shape !

Put This On: Personal Style

These paper-cut false eyelashes are so weirdly striking that I’ll even forgive the vendor for claiming that they are “steeped in Chinese symbolic meaning.” I can’t claim to have much direct experience with false eyelashes, apart from a brief, early-teens fixation with Kubrick’s Clockwork Orange adaptation, but if I saw someone wearing these at a fancy occasion, I think I’d be very impressed. Inspired by the art of Chinese paper cutting, these delicately pretty and intricately cut paper eyelashes are so utterly exquisite. They come in a really neat little box with a display window and can be reused over and over again and they also make a fabulous and surprising gift and are just plain fun to wear. nonesuch things ( via Neatorama )
