Neven Mrgan's tumbl v4.1

Christa and I thought of this one night and it hasn’t left my mind since: imagine a surgical procedure whereby some of your butt skin is grafted onto various parts of your body to form Flesh Pockets™, convenient, built-in storage for the busy professional.

Possible applications include the breast pocket shown below, pant pockets, Cargo Legs™, the built-in abdominal Flesh Purse™ for ladies, optional skin flaps and cartilage reinforcements for that sharp, starched look, and the urban favorite, the Flesh Hood™.

Flesh pockets need regular skin care (cleaning, moisturizing) like any other fold or orifice. Aftermarket products such as Pocket Socks™ - “underwear” for your new pouch - are a possibility.

There’s a shirt our favorite junkie entrepreneur, Bubbles, wears on The Wire in the scene where he falls off the wagon after Kima gets shot. It makes for a pretty ridiculous outfit, but somehow it works. I’ve been trying to hunt it down, and finally did so just by sending this blurry snap to a fashion-wise friend of a friend.

Turns out the shirt is sold by Custo Barcelona, a fancy-pantsy European brand. (This specific design is no longer sold.)

Price? $143.

That’s a lot of aluminum piping.

Dear icon designers,

if you make your next icon a mid-blue square or circle, I’ll take it personally, I will.
