Expired Condoms: Would You Wear Them As A Dress?

Ecouterre:

When New York University student Emma Kaywin realized that a pile of expired condoms from her HIV Hotline internship were going to the landfill, she asked if she could use them for an art project, instead. Our first instinct was to squirm a little--don't worry they're not used--our second was, "cute dress!"

I can't imagine where you would wear that to.

No, but then I don't wear dresses. But on really good days I do wear a condom!

Okay, so like, "NO" I would not wear this!

They're pretty much useless for anything else.

Useless?
You never know, bibi.
I heard about a guy at Woodstock Country Day (really boarding) School in Vermont who started one autumn to collect pubic hairs from the rims of urinals on that little rural campus.
In March he produced a sweater he'd knitted out of them (the pubic hairs). WInters were long and cold up there in those days - around when there was a President Nixon working with H Kissinger to launch the October Surprise.
American ingenuity. A legend whose name I've forgotten. The Guy Who Knitted a Sweater from Shedded Pubic Hairs.
Used condoms: Haven't you considered slingshots?

Not "used", Ellwort - - expired unused. And if ol' folks like us think condom slingshots are pretty archaic and lame, maybe there's hope for generational connections as well as gen-gaps.
We'll pass this along to a granddaughter majoring in fashion design . . . but she probably knows it already, tho she's not in NY :-)

Lord Ellwort--
My hopes are that the sweater in question was shampooed and conditioned well...and never donned by a smoker.

Such a shame for such talent to be wasted on such a juvenile.

That what I was thinking. He doesn't have a point. It's just another chance to play the race card

I am a huge fan of condoms, and I know the condoms for these dresses haven't been used, but there is still something kinda gross about these garments.

Maybe what is grossing you out is that condoms are supposed to go on your p e n i s?

There's got to be a clinon-lewinsky joke in here someplace.
