10/25/2004: Condom clothes

Undertoad · 10-25-2004, 11:26 AM

Brazilian artist Adriana Bertini has been making clothes and sculptures out of different coloured condoms. She's to have an exhibition at the Museum of World Culture in Gothenburg, Sweden in December.

A spokesperson for the artist told Clarin newspaper: "Adriana Bertini offers a different and poetic look for a material that suffers prejudice despite being so needed in our times.

"She transforms condoms in something sensual, energetic and alive."

Well that's one way to do that.

That falls under the catagory "Clothes To Be Looked At, But Never EVER Worn".

"Clothes To Be Looked At, But Never EVER Worn"

Or, "Worn only once, then properly disposed of."

Why would you.

poohbearbeth · 10-25-2004, 06:47 PM

Why would anyone on earth want something like that?

Sculpture I can handle. Clothing? I don't think so.
Hope this doesn't redefine "another notch on my lipstick case"
Cost: Ley me see now.......... at 75 cents P.S.I....... Can I put it on lawaway?

Great for a streetwalker that doesn't want to cary a handbag.
Also keeps her from being patted down by the cops if she puts them back on the dress.

Kitsune · 10-25-2004, 10:14 PM

At least the dress comes with instructions for putting it on.

Open the dress package carefully to avoid damaging it with fingernails, teeth, or other sharp objects. Unroll the dress a short distance to make sure it is being unrolled in the right direction, then hold the top of the dress and unroll it down. If it does not unroll easily, it may be upside-down. After use, check the dress for visible damage such as holes, then discard. Do not flush the dress down the toilet.

Very thin latex is a material that is "so needed"?

Of course, this begs the question of: Does the wearer experience more pleasure if the condoms are ribbed?

What makes the condoms different coloured?

Obviously, art can be defined in many ways. I agree condoms are needed. However, I find this form of "art"?; ...... provacative at best..............for whom I'm bewildered.

jojomonkeygirl · 10-26-2004, 11:44 PM

I won't wear that. It doesn't feel natural. I don't want to feel anything between us, baby. It's ok if you don't wear that dress, baby...I've been tied.

Ah, I was attempting to make the instructions for the dress similar to those for condom use. For whatever reason, the instructions normally include "do not flush down toilet".
