"Over the weekend, I was reading Green LA Girl (a blog my friend Siel writes about all things green in Southern California), when I came across the most interesting story about repurposing expired condoms. Of course, I had to share it with you. Green LA Girl linked to an Ecouterre story about Emma Kaywin, a student at NYU. A few years ago Kaywin was interning at an HIV hotline center. When she found out that the organization&amp;amp;#8217;s expired condoms were about to be sent to landfills, she stepped in and asked if she could use them for an art project. Kaywin turned her haul into two dresses and a coat. You&amp;amp;#8217;ll have to pop on over to Ecouterre to see the condom frocks. You won&amp;amp;#8217;t believe how fashionable they are! And, she&amp;amp;#8217;s actually worn her designs out in public. According to Ecouterre, she causes quite a stir: &amp;amp;#8220;Laughter and disgust are the usual responses, she notes, but some people actually compliment her style.&amp;amp;#8221; Last month, Kaywin, who is now a senior, showed her pieces at &amp;amp;#8220;Eco Fashion Week,&amp;amp;#8221; an exhibit at the NYU Gallatin School of Individualized Study. And here I was just tossing my expired condoms out! I think this a clever, and artsy way to be a little more green. Though, I&amp;amp;#8217;d never wear one of these dresses; I can only imagine how sweaty you&amp;amp;#8217;d get. What do you think of Kaywin&amp;amp;#8217;s dresses? Artsy? Green? Creepy? Cool? Have you ever attended an art show that was kind of out there? For more condom chats&amp;amp;#133; * Did you celebrate National Condom Week? * Green condoms?!
