Wait a second, – $2618 to look like a urinal? I thought you were supposed to pay me to be a toilet. Boy, things sure have changed since I was in college.
I just noticed this photo was taken by Alfred Stieglitz!
Wikipedia tells me Georgia O’Keefe didn’t move to New York until 1918. I am still pretend that she was there when he developed the print, making this the most awesome photograph ever.
This is a really great idea.
Marcel Duchamp’s work http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fountain_ (Duchamp) questioned the boundaries of art and contributed to the permanent people’s perception of where is the design, applied arts and performing arts boundaries.
I can see in this fashion for critical reflection and irony woman’s station in the fashion industry.
And then, on the other hand, Fountain is so well known, iconic work, that to some extent, it is a burden, this dress is kind of like too obvious.
And tuoksen technology does not quite work.
If I could afford, I might just buy that collector in mind, it seems good to own this piece of cultural history.

A couple of years ago, a contractor friend of mine was renovating a popular bar downtown. He told me that he had installed a red urinal, shaped like a women’s mouth. I adamantly refused to believe him.
…sure as shit, about a year later it was all over the local media that their liquor license was due to renew and city hall refused to renew it until the urinal was removed. Apparently because of the city’s “Zero Tolerance” policy, they felt it was offensive to women. Which leads me to wonder, why are women in the men’s restroom?

How the hell else they gonna get cleaned?

People like to think of fashion as an art form, and that’s all well and good, but they tend to forget that when you work in the medium of clothes people do have to actually want to WEAR these things in public.
On one hand I really love this because I love the inspiration behind Duchamp’s Fountain. And wearing this to a party, for me, would be the very same thing, and it’d be hilarious and great.
But on the other hand. It’s way more money than I’d ever spend on any dress. It’d be uncomfortable to wear. It’d make my hips look even more HUUUUGGGEEEE.
Overall, it’s an ugly design. But it’d be hilarious.
it says sequins and embroidery, but it looks more like bare styrofoam and sharpie marker. Looks easy enough to make for next halloween to scare the trick or treaters.
If you ever wore this dress, it would be to a party with copious alcohol and people who think they’re clever. A recipe for disaster, or at least a hefty cleaning bill.

no thanks, i’m holding out for the cum dumpster costume.

So you know Paris Hilton well enough to get her to rummage through her closet and drop something in the mail to you?
That’s so hot.
May 26, 2012 at 9:40 am
Is that a glitter tear?
May 26, 2012 at 9:48 am
Yes, it is.
May 26, 2012 at 1:10 pm
That’s what I was going to ask. One of us! ONE OF US!!!
May 26, 2012 at 9:44 am
Did they forget a handle hat?
Or is this one of them “no flush” models?
May 26, 2012 at 9:58 am
The Duchamp one has handles, or whatever:
May 26, 2012 at 9:59 am
Rats. Replied to the wrong comment.
Anyway, here’s the “inspiration”, and we all know that art is 10% inspiration and 90% urination.

May 26, 2012 at 9:44 am
I’ll admit it’s been a while since I’ve been in the same room as a urinal, but I’ve never seen one with handles on the sides before… is that normal?
May 26, 2012 at 10:03 am
Yes. But only for men with enlarged prostates.
May 26, 2012 at 10:05 am
The handles? I’m looking at the wiener tunnel!
May 26, 2012 at 10:27 am
It’s a Euronal
May 26, 2012 at 11:57 am
Them’s wings.
May 26, 2012 at 9:46 am
Misogyny at it’s finest. Gross.
May 26, 2012 at 9:46 am
She should be careful around the SMBD clubs…
May 26, 2012 at 9:47 am
After peeing… er, seeing this dress, I need a cake.
May 26, 2012 at 9:49 am
I am curious why the urinal cake accessory was omitted on this “piece”.
May 26, 2012 at 9:55 am
the urinal cake is a purse, and it costs $1400.
May 26, 2012 at 9:56 am
I think a Urinal cake pill-hat would be perfect, with a little rust colored veil.
May 26, 2012 at 11:19 am
It saddens me to see that there are no results for “urinal cake” on Etsy.
SOMEONE NEEDS TO FIX THIS NOW.
May 26, 2012 at 9:54 am
I can just see a toilet version of this for pregnant women. “Comfortable for moms to be! Lots of room!” That is scary.
May 26, 2012 at 10:00 am

ce n’est pas une pipi.

La mariée mise à nu par ses urinoirs, même
May 26, 2012 at 10:04 am
I can just imagine the bitch fights the models had backstage.
The only consensus was probly to avoid saying “piss on you!”.
Or did they revel in saying it?
Model A: PISS OFF!
Model B: Noh hun, piss HERE!
Both Models: haa-haa-haa-haa!!
{both thinking, “BITCH!”}

May 26, 2012 at 10:40 am
Because the line at the women’s room is too long and they really have to go.
You’ve never seen this happen?
May 26, 2012 at 11:15 am
In some places, “crossing lines” is illegal.
May 26, 2012 at 12:44 pm
Which means urine trouble.
May 26, 2012 at 8:07 pm
You win butts.
May 27, 2012 at 12:24 am
Huh. Either my home state isn’t one of them, or it’s a “jaywalking” type offense.
May 27, 2012 at 2:00 pm
Touche!
P.S. I use the men’s restroom almost exclusively at the office. The women I work with are filthy fucking pigs.

May 26, 2012 at 12:51 pm
The line between wardrobe and costume is very slim indeed, and pieces like this one piss all ove rit.
May 26, 2012 at 10:21 am
Is it just me or does the model look like she’s crying? (As she should be)
May 26, 2012 at 10:53 am
No, somebody just has poor aim.
May 26, 2012 at 10:30 am
Keep your Peepee out of my Dada!
May 26, 2012 at 11:00 am
If this is the kind of work you get as a scarlett johansson knock-off, I’m happy to be homely.

This would be the perfect gift for the R. Kelly fans in your life.

May 26, 2012 at 12:23 pm
I thought it looked like terrycloth, which would help absorb the pee.
May 26, 2012 at 12:03 pm
Better pissed off than…
May 26, 2012 at 12:30 pm
If she changed “Contemporary Fashion” to “Watersports”, this might sell.
May 26, 2012 at 12:34 pm
things like this make me less and less surprised that us English are considered eccentric.
May 26, 2012 at 1:05 pm
She is going to be the most popular girl at the baseball game.
May 26, 2012 at 1:39 pm
Brings very new meaning to “porta-potty”.
The designer’s got a hit on her hands. I wonder what made her take the plunge with that design?
If that’s her #1 design, I shudder to see her #2.
At that price, she’ll soon be flush with cash.
May 26, 2012 at 2:51 pm
Sometimes you just have to go with the flow…
May 26, 2012 at 6:13 pm
I pee what you did there.

May 26, 2012 at 4:44 pm
Does it come with yellow shoes?
May 26, 2012 at 11:08 pm
It’s actually more of a tie-dye effort.
