A recent NY Times article discusses a new clothing line by a 29-year old Japanese fashion designer who created skirts-that-disguise-themselves-as-vending-machines for paranoid pedestrians. WTF? Does she really think this will fly? I mean what if the stalker/flasher wants a drink and pushes the "BUY" button, which happens to be conveniently situated right on her left nipple? That would be SO much worse. But actually, I don't think it's so much the designer that thinks this is a real crime deterrent than it is the reporter who wrote the story.
Besides, this isn't a new concept at all. Vending Machine Red has been tearing shit up in Tokyo for months!
The designer hand-sews these things and sells them for about $800 each.

well, at least you know he would drop in a dollar and 25 cents before he puts his finger on who ever is dressing it.
(Not that I would do it)
