    None.

    At all.

    I point this out merely as a matter of interest.

    In other words: get busy, people!

    Oh, and other than the baby and the feather, I must agree with #25 NinjaGato that the toilet one does have its own unique charm.

    I’m a big fan of the first one up there of the person that did the later feather one. The one wearing green leggings and socks – or maybe those are other skant layers? Anyway, the first one, with the zipper jacket makes me think there is a leprechaun leering from the upper half, just waiting to unzip and flash us, if only we could see :)

    these skants are getting my complete merkin stamp of approval – was reading in another post – someone was asking whether it was for real – YES it is. The skants were originally part of a collection JUNK LORE COuTURE – in the section titled NOW I’M CONFUSED… i found regretsy’s pick up on it hilarious and decided to join in the fun. I’ve also been getting heaps of questions regarding whether i am wearing 2 wigs or 1 … TWO.. It was a battle to decide what to put where
