Fetus Coin Purse - Wacky of the Week


In my perpetual hunt for the weird, wacky and funny, I just found a purse that is made to look like an unborn fetus. Yes, that's right, an unborn fetus. Although I guess by definition all fetuses are unborn, right?

I am not sure how popular carrying around a salmon colored woolen representation of an upborn fetus would be. But I do know there are lots of people out there with nontraditional tastes who would probably like this. It reminds me a little of the fetus jewelry that I brought to your attention about a year ago in my post on Weirdest Jewelry Ever .

I don't carry a coin purse so it's not a buying decision that I ever need to ponder. But if I did buy one, I guess I could put the handy Fetus Coin Purse into one of the Ten Weirdest Handbags I posted about a few weeks ago.

In the Anticraft website where this unusual coin purse is featured, the creator of the Fetus Coin Purse says "In real life a 10-week fetus is 3/4 of an inch long and weighs half an ounce. That would not hold much change, so this knitted version has been enlarged.... [This version is ] 7" long, excluding umbilical cord."

 

You can see more detailed photos and details at Anticraft (via Davezilla).

"The picture of the opened purse looks more like labia?" ...so what's next, the "Labia Coin Purse"? (hmm, better copyright that right now!)


It wouldn't be a "labia" purse

Instead of a clutch, it would be a clitch.  (It needs protected, but probably can't be patented.)


We might say it was made of

We might say it was made of "kid leather", but that would be so wrong...


Coin Purse

The coin bag looks good, but I think it is more of a show piece collection than utility. I dont mind having it in my unique collection.

I recently purchased a coin bag for my wife over the web, if you are looking for a utility coin bag have a look:
