looks good, tastes bad.

I stumbled across this mad food jewelry over here.



i mean, have you ever?



it all looks so real.



Cabbages? To wear in your ears? Really? Strange. But yet still, oddly beautiful.







Yummy, pizza. Although hold the olives for me, please. Why would you?

In fact there are a lot of 'why would yous' here.
why would you:
a) make them?
b) wear them?
c) buy them?
there's also a 'how would you':
how would you:
a) stop yourself popping them into your mouth just to see if they taste as good as they look?

Don't get me wrong, I do see the artistic craft and skill in them. Just not really the reason.




Is 'just because we can' a good enough reason? I guess so.



They do look good enough to eat though, I must admit.




question is, do they look good enough to wear?



I think if I wore any of these I would walk around all day somehow subliminally hungry, and desperately craving chocolate covered strawberry's, or a ham and cheese croissant, and not knowing why.




Ah, the ice cream is my favourite. And the only one so far that I would actually wear. I could imagine wearing that on a super hot summer's day. It would be cool, cos it would look like the ice cream was about to melt down my chest. Pretty awesome.




I just don't know that one's ears are a place for lunch.




Or for that matter, sushi.





And a felafel? That grosses me out a little. I'd get that imaginary smell of garlic wafting up my nose all day.




Although I think those would make cute cuff links.




I wonder what they're made of? They're incredibly life-like. Or sponge-cake like.

Hmmmmm sponge cake. Is anyone else hungry yet? Somehow I suddenly want pizza for breakfast.






see, once you've finished wearing them, you can dunk them in your tea.



The ever fashionable macaroon. I always wondered if it was food or fashion?




Love that apple, actually. Too cool. It's the i-necklace.

Food for thought. And necks. And earlobes.

  1. I must say, I kinda love this jewellery. I kind of heart it. I would buy it. (Maybe I'm just weird like that).

    I think I'd go for the sushi. X

  2. it looks so life-like - if i saw someone wearing it i would have to touch it and smell it to make sure they weren't wearing real sushi. (I suppose maybe I'm just weird like that too!)

  3. I love the icecream one, but the others I wouldn't wear even though the pancakes DO look delicious!
