Wonderful blog! I found it while searching on Yahoo News. Do you have any suggestions on how to get listed in Yahoo News? I’ve been trying for a while but I never seem to get there! Thank you. wholesale nhl jerseys.

OK, I’m back – moving was less painful than expected thanks to great movers, Rogers people came and connected everything, my cats are finding new ways to be under foot (sleeping on the stairs), everyone survived except one lampshade.
I have to get over the hideousness that is Nowness – maybe a huge glass of wine will help…

Well, I guess I’m a hypocrite – although that first photo completely freaks me out, I do like the fur in the second.

And slimeylimey, I was a little horrified by your taxidermy story till you called it a doggie bag, and now I’ll never ask for a doggie bag without thinking of the girl with the commemorative bag.

working in museums it’s hard to get wound up about taxidermy… it’s even harder to see it as cool though.

I knew a girl who after her dog peacefully passed on to that kennel in the sky, she had him skinned and had the skin made into a not unattractive bag, that way the dog was always with her in the form of some very fine leather. It’s actually a very practical variant on having your deceased animal stuffed, which was a big fad in Victorian times. That girl lived in a walk up on Grand Street, and that doggie bag has now triggered a delightful recall of the period. Thank you for letting me share this taxidermical memory on your always intriguing site!

It’s amusing to see this post today as just hours ago I scheduled a visit over the weekend to see an exhibition by jeweler and taxidermist Julia de Ville. (http://www.discemori.com/)

I’m feeling very apprehensive about my visit to the exhibition. On the one hand, as someone who feels fairly sensitive towards animal rights the concept of taxidermy in general bothers me – even with the knowledge that the animals used in de Ville’s work die of natural causes. On the other, as a meat eater, I feel hypocritical caring so much. And as a jewellery designer, I am deeply excited to see such extraordinarily interesting work.

Hrm, monkey fur… I’m not down with that, but let’s not overlook the most offensive thing here – the over-zealous promotion of ksubi and other brands which are pretty much unattainable for any so-called punk – I’m with Nika on this one.

Fucking sick! Maybe someone should skin them and make a lampshade for their next of kin. Lets e-mail Hannibal to see if he knows anybody who’s up for the job.

I tried to read a little bit about taxidermy but all the talk about covering up the smell of rot cut my research short, I feel sick just thinking about it.
