Being Vegetarian isn't exactly a walk in the park.
You have hot dog vendors on every corner, your friends who will happily order a burger RIGHT IN FRONT OF YOU, and then sometimes you'll order the salmon and people around you will freak out and not understand that eating fish isn't the same as eating, I dunno, veal, and that, no, they're not the Kittens of the Sea.
It's tough.
But even worse than people questioning how good of a Veggie you are, or chewing on chicken drumsticks in your presence, you now have people who are draping meat all over their bodies in the name of fashion.
Yes, that's right, people are now making and wearing meat dresses.
Check this Salami Dress that BoingBoing alerted the masses to earlier today:
Jia Jem has made a Meatwad costume (Meatwad as in the thing made of meat from Aqua Teen Hunger Force) which is made completely of "salty bacon and salami". Why salami? Jem says, "because it's thin, keeps in one piece, and is quite cheap, and bacon because it looks very, um, meaty."
Salami does look pretty meaty.
Jem's description of how she made the dress is, as I'm sure you could have guessed, golden:
"I ended up using the K.I.S.S. method of construction, which involved a
basic shift dress out of thick cotton. I layed the meat on top, then
put clear vinyl over it and sewed tracks with clear thread. I used a
wide stitch length to avoid perforating the meat to the point it might
just... uh, slide down the bottom of the dress."
Meatwad Dress FTW!
If you were planning on recreating Jia Jem's Meatwad Salami Dress, there is an accessory that every Meat Princess should have...
The Pork Princess Tiara:
You can find out how to make this, um, meaty tiara over at The Anti Craft. Their directions are pretty awesome, as they include "suggested viewing" choices. Their suggestion for what to watch while you make The Pork Princess Tiara?
