This Australian Boutique Is Selling Lingerie With Real Taxidermied Rats Sewn on the Crotch
There’s provocative lingerie, and then there’s whatever this is. An Australian boutique called Rat Gizzard Oddities has gone viral for a line of women’s lingerie featuring actual taxidermied rats sewn directly onto the fabric. The brand, which has spent years crafting curiosities and oddities from preserved animals, posted the first pair to Instagram last October. The internet, predictably, lost its mind. The creator named them LingeRATs, because of course she did. The pieces aren’t technically meant to be worn, which feels like a reasonable stance when a preserved rodent is involved, though that hasn’t stopped a vocal subset of fans from announcing their intentions to do exactly that, presumably to the horror of whoever they share a bed with. For the skeptics who assumed the whole thing was a stunt, it’s worth noting that LingeRATs are very much purchasable. A pair will run you A$190, or about $137 USD. View this post on I...
