Test Tube Couture

Wired magazine has an article about how scientists are growing clothing out of skin. For real this time. This ain't that creepy synthetic stuff we were talking about before. This is, in fact, what looks like a (not-so-stylish) turtle neck skin sweater:



I wonder what the care instructions are for a garment like this. "Feed thrice daily. Dry clean only." I'm sure there's a joke in there somewhere about botox instead of ironing, but botox jokes are so Jay Leno.

Wow, that is really sick. I think I'm glad that I saw that now while I still have a couple of hours before lunch to recover. Ewwww!!!

Once again - thoroughly mortified by flesh wardrobes. Do skin clothes need shower soap, hand soap, Tide or Febreeze?? What about lotion? I hope not to find out.

No thanks, I bet it would be clingy.

Clingy for sure. I wonder if it gets sunburned? It's wierd when your jacket requires SPF 30.
