A Fashion WTF Moment...

Every now and then I come across some fashion items that make me do a double take and then ask "Wtf?" The necklace above is kind of cute - but then I found out, it's actually made, from Reindeer poop. 

"The dung is dehydrated, sterilized and sprayed with glitter and then sold as “Magical Reindeer Gems.”  According to The Mother Nature Network, in 2009, the Miller Park Zoo in Bloomington, Ill., made nearly $21,000 selling this reindeer poop jewelry.

Do you find yourself in need of a rat coin purse or pigeon feather necklace? Check out Reid Peppard, a vegetarian and designer from London who didn't want the bodies of animals to go to waste.
