I mean, high dollar, jewel-studded silver chain versions would look spectacular as accessories, and then be handy at home too.<br /><br />I think some of those overnight "beauty secrets" look a lot like the kind of stuff they used to slap on cadavers to keep them from sagging before the funeral.<br /><br />Mostly though, I love the juxtaposition between the dream suit girl and the roaches. That's just fantastic.
