Re I Haven't Decided if This is Cool or Gross.

Well, I thought it was just weird-looking until I hovered over the link and read the description, then it's ew ew ew. But it would have been worse if it was made of placenta.

PS thank God they don't have a picture of a "placenta coffin," whatever that means.

Re I Haven't Decided if This is Cool or Gross.

I thought it was creepy with the baby's face in the pendant, but then when I read what it was made of...

Speaking of weird stuff, y'all might enjoy this one. I think it's bizarre beyond words, but I'd guess Wormie'd like it. Hair Hats and no, it's NOT what you'd think when you first read those words.....

Re I Haven't Decided if This is Cool or Gross.

There was a woman on one of the talk shows this morning. Her daughter (whom she had breastfed until she was 7) asked for breast milk for her 9th birthday. I'll bet she'd have settled for a necklace like this....or, then again, maybe not.

Re I Haven't Decided if This is Cool or Gross.

Honestly, I don't think it's gross, I just can't imagine why anyone would want it. It would be better if it were just a thing and not a baby's face.

In that case it is just weird, but OK!! I don't have my glasses on so I can't see the detail.

Re I Haven't Decided if This is Cool or Gross.

I'm not saying anyone's wrong, but isn't it interesting that plasticized human milk in a piece of jewelry (where it is not getting eaten) can be considered gross when milk from an different species is OK to consume.

It just seems odd.

That said, the jewelry itself is creepy.

Re I Haven't Decided if This is Cool or Gross.

Jewelry made from hair, and hair art used to be quite common:

Hair jewellery - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

You're sure to see some if you ever go to any kind of history museum. They were often a way of remembering dead loved ones, but I think they made them for general artistic purposes as well.

Re I Haven't Decided if This is Cool or Gross.

I hope the designer paid big bucks for the breastmilk. Personally, I would rather extra milk go to milk banks, and to AIDs orphans in Africa. Just sayin'.

Re I Haven't Decided if This is Cool or Gross.

Haha, I almost feel special! I post and suddenly Im noticed :]

and as for the posting in school thing, it was after I finished all my work, so I figured I would do something somewhat useful with my extra time.
