Japanese People Dressed Like Vending Machines

A recent NY Times article discusses a new clothing line by a 29-year old Japanese fashion designer who created skirts-that-disguise-themselves-as-vending-machines for paranoid pedestrians. WTF? Does she really think this will fly? I mean what if the stalker/flasher wants a drink and pushes the "BUY" button, which happens to be conveniently situated right on her left nipple? That would be SO much worse. But actually, I don't think it's so much the designer that thinks this is a real crime deterrent than it is the reporter who wrote the story.

Besides, this isn't a new concept at all. Vending Machine Red has been tearing shit up in Tokyo for months!

The designer hand-sews these things and sells them for about $800 each.
