I’m not talking about the edible kind but the book. I’m selling my copy for 800 pesos. I’m also willing to trade it with Fresh Fruits, Tokyo Look Book, or other books/magazine about Japanese fashion or subcultures.

The photo book has 304 pages and is released by Phaidon Press. It’s a great inspiration for fashion design students and those who love to experiment with their clothes. I’m only offering this book to residents in the Philippines…unless the buyer is willing to pay for the exorbitant Philippine Postal Service fees.

Excuse my lack of real entries but Plurk has been occupying my time too much. Way too much in fact. But I’ll talk about my Plurk addiction in another post because a friend pointed out this wonderful find.

This masterpiece is called the Brief Jerky. It’s made from fine grade beef jerkies, rhinestones, and gromets specially picked by the masterful team of mixedspecies. Touted to be the first meat haute couture, the makers claim every pair is a perfect fit. Sadly, their current model Mr. Hairy McSpecies doesn’t come with the package.

Thanks to Seijicat for the heads up.
