I had to click through because I couldn't imagine from your description what this would look like. Now I have seen it. And it was exactly as you described! posted by tellurian at 10:01 PM on December 3, 2007
Transgendered women in lingerie made from taxidermied rats.
And here I was, wondering what could be even more sexy than taxidermied rats. posted by kosem at 10:30 PM on December 3, 2007 [1 favorite has favorites]
Completely awesome in every respect. posted by Wolof at 10:34 PM on December 3, 2007

I know I'm going to regret asking, but...
What is that rat-doily thing in the LRH corner of the first pic supposed to be? I mean, cute and all, but the only pictures of it in use I could find (about 3/4 down the page) left me more than a little confused... posted by Pinback at 10:58 PM on December 3, 2007
Ah... read the text, fool. It's a handkerchief. Thank god... posted by Pinback at 11:00 PM on December 3, 2007
Somehow I read that as, the entire woman was made out of taxidermied rats. This was a little less disturbing. Only a little. posted by Skwirl at 11:19 PM on December 3, 2007 [3 favorites has favorites]

I'm not sure how I feel about this. Is this empowering or exploitative? posted by cytherea at 12:09 AM on December 4, 2007

Can we have a new word that combines both?
Explowering?
Emploitative?
And, like Skwirl, I thought the women themselves would be made out of rats. Which is why I clicked the link. I'm somewhat disappointed. I'm also starting seriously doubt my own sanity and what the internet has done to it. posted by slimepuppy at 1:11 AM on December 4, 2007 [2 favorites has favorites]

What sort of creative process does one go through to come up with an idea like THAT?! posted by divabat at 1:54 AM on December 4, 2007

Which idea? Dressing up as a woman, making lingerie from rats, or dressing up as a woman in lingerie made from rats? posted by fandango_matt at 2:13 AM on December 4, 2007 [1 favorite has favorites]

Or taking pictures of the act of dressing up as a woman in lingerie made from rats. posted by arianell at 2:42 AM on December 4, 2007
Those models made little, or in fact no, attempt to keep their cocks inside the rat-fur. Most unprofessional. posted by Abiezer at 2:52 AM on December 4, 2007
This disturbs me, AND my rats, on nearly every conceivable level. posted by perilous at 3:47 AM on December 4, 2007
I rather think that Chanel will be after these people for using their logo on that rat-head thong. Though personally, I think if these were genuine Chanel it would actually make the brand cooler than it has been since Lagerfeld first took over as artistic director.
I mean, doesn't every hot young debutante need some rat head lingerie for her 'coming out' party? posted by PeterMcDermott at 3:54 AM on December 4, 2007
I'd hit it, ironically. posted by stavrogin at 4:16 AM on December 4, 2007

so is the idea here transgender operations = taxidermy or? posted by es_de_bah at 6:14 AM on December 4, 2007
Me, I'd rather have underwear made of rats than a razor made of weasels. posted by nebulawindphone at 7:17 AM on December 4, 2007

It would be great if one of these garments showed up here. posted by exogenous at 8:02 AM on December 4, 2007
That bra is actually brilliant in design. So simple and, dare I say it, strangely elegant. posted by piratebowling at 8:05 AM on December 4, 2007
Incredible photos! The beauty shines through despite, and because of the sleazy, backalley feel they have. posted by Drexen at 8:08 AM on December 4, 2007
christ on a donut, I never thought of wearing dead rat heads on my underwear before. posted by misha at 8:12 AM on December 4, 2007
I can't believe no one else has mentioned that these rats are fake Chanel! Clearly, this is a parody of the dominant haute couture paradigm in which the quest to be "cutting edge" involves fake women and obscene clothing.
File this under the 1000's of things I would have never have had the pleasure of seeing without the glorious intarwebs. posted by photoslob at 1:55 PM on December 4, 2007
I actually appreciate the bald honesty of keeping the heads on the rats, as opposed to the disingenuous act of wearing headless fur, like "Well, this soft, warm fur was just lying about, and we thought rather than wasting it, we'd create some lovely garments. No harm in that, is there?"
That said, I'd prefer these beautiful ladies in more traditional lingerie. Rat heads just ain't my aesthetic. posted by notashroom at 2:45 PM on December 4, 2007
Is this empowering or exploitative?
Is 'just plain weird' an option? (not the transgender part, just the rat thing. Whoever put this together must get all agitated when Ben or Willard come on cable. posted by jonmc at 4:25 PM on December 4, 2007

I'm really glad I'm not the only one who read it this way.
Also: empowxloitative! And there are so many situations where that word would be useful posted by moss at 5:02 PM on December 4, 2007
You know, I just saw the title when I was on campus today, and I guess I misinterpreted it until I just clicked through. I thought the transgendered women themselves were made of taxidermied rats. I was really curious to see how they managed to pull that one off. This is still OK though. posted by papakwanz at 9:10 PM on December 4, 2007
Oh, woops. Duh, I'm stupid. Probably should read through the thread first. posted by papakwanz at 9:11 PM on December 4, 2007
