    Sorry, but I HAD to share this. This just cracked me up 

    From Universal Press Syndicate 

          Salt Lake City fashion designer Jared Gold recently began
          offering jeweled brooches featuring brightly colored Swarovski
          crystals affixed to a live, 3-inch-long Madagascar hissing
          cockroach that a woman can allow to roam a short distance
          around her dress or jacket via a silver chain affixed to the
          roach's back. The brooch sells fro $80 at Gold's web site. An
          April New York Post story quoted an animal rights spokesman as
          calling the bauble "just the gift" for the "person who doesn't
          mind a small animal excreting on them throughout the day." 

    Folks - I feel that I look at many thing for inspiration and ideas
    but I just don't think I'm ready to explore QUITE this far.
    Rrrrroaches ! a HISSING one at that !! 

Go figure -- Justine
