<![CDATA[<p>The fashion industry is always changing. Designers are going to the extreme to grab your attention and launch their look, design, concept, or line. Kristofer Paetau, of Rio de Janeiro, definitely took the fashion industry to a new, bizarre, and definitely odd, place: <a href="http://www.paetau.com/downloads/TransRatFashion/TransRatFashion.html" target="_blank">dead animals as accessories</a>.</p>
 
<p>His very unique “collection” consists of five Chanel inspired pieces including a bra, thong, pair of high heeled shoes, handbag, and handkerchief that are all “ornamented” with taxidermy rats, complete with heads, feet, and tails. Some of the pieces are adorned with lace, pearls, and silk, as well.</p>
 
<p>To top it all off, the “collection” is modeled by several different transvestites, thus the name, “Trans Rat Fashion.” Fair warning, if you choose to visit the site, some models are nude or partially nude while posing for pictures with the garments, and there are a few disturbing nude poses. There are also video clips with sound of the fashion shoot that I chose not to view.</p>
 
<p>I have said before that the web will always provide us with interesting, odd and weird sites for our entertainment; even if they weren't necessarily created with that in mind. This one, one the other hand, is more freaky than entertaining. It's truly frightening to consider, what will the fashion industry think of next?</p><a href="http://www.pheedo.com/click.phdo?x=&u=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.webupon.com%2FWeb-Talk%2FWeirdest-Thing-I-Found-on-the-Web-Taxidermy-Rat-Lingerie-Collection.104834"><img src="http://www.pheedo.com/img.phdo?x=&u=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.webupon.com%2FWeb-Talk%2FWeirdest-Thing-I-Found-on-the-Web-Taxidermy-Rat-Lingerie-Collection.104834" border="0"/></a>]]></description>
