Bryan says her next project involves using sperm for glue…
Sarah Louise Bryan, a British fashion designer, wanted to do something outrageous to top Lady Gaga's famous meat dress. “What would be the worst thing you could have on your dress?” she asked herself aloud. Answer: lots and lots of pubic hair from strangers over social media. It took six months, gallons of sterilizing fluid, and hundreds of sticks of hot glue. She is hoping to get £10,000. Any takers?

Ok, you can breathe a sigh of relief as this dress is actually quite beautiful. In fact, you might want to breathe in, because the dress is made of fresh flowers. It was imagined by wedding photography company With Love and Embers and realized by Splints and Daisies. The bottom of the dress was made with spirea to give it structure, and also includes Russian sage.

It was meant to be an ironic joke, but it caught the fashion world by storm.

Emma Watson showed up at the Metropolitan Museum of Art's Costume Institute Gala 2016 (otherwise known as the Met Ball) wearing a black and white gown made by Calvin Klein that had an unusual secret: it was made entirely of plastic bottles. It wasn't too confidential, however: the whole idea of the dress was to raise awareness about the importance of recycling.

5A beer dress...?!


A beer dress...?!

Don't try to drink it, though.
Mmmm…beer.
Believe it or not, this fluffy little number was made from the same fermentation process used to make beer. The fabric is officially called Nanollose Microbial Cellulose and was a collaboration between scientist Gary Cass and visual artist Donna Franklin. The texture is very similar to cotton, and the pair hopes it will one day be a viable alternative to other less eco-friendly materials.

Like many dresses on this list, there is a larger purpose for their creation. Erinne Paisley of Canada says she created her prom dress out of her pre-calculus notes to highlight the fact that many women can't achieve their dreams. She put the dress up for auction and donated all proceeds to the Malala Fund, started by Pakistani teen activist Malala Yousafzai to help girls worldwide with their educational goals.

Dress made of 254 American Express credit cards

Don't leave home without it?
Back in 1995, costume designer Lizzy Gardiner won the Academy Award for her work on Priscilla, Queen of the Desert. One of her creations for the film was a dress made of 254 expired American Express Gold cards, but it never made the final cut. However, Gardinier decided to wear the plastic gown to the ceremony. American Express ended up featuring her in several ads, but the dress itself was poorly received and has been voted one of the worst Oscar dresses of all time. (She auctioned off the dress for $12,650 and donated the money to AIDS research.)

Guy Takes More Fake Book Covers Onto Subway To See How People React

You may remember a story we did recently about Scott Rogowsky, a comedian who decided to ride the New York subway while reading a bunch of fake books with hilariously inappropriate titles. Well, it looks like Scott’s been up to his old tricks again, and this time his reading material is funnier than ever.

As you can see from the video below, other passengers don’t quite know how to react when they see what the comedian is reading. But then again, we’re not surprised. After all, what would you do if you saw somebody reading books in public with such titles as Hiding your Erection from God, Why Women Deserve Less, 10,000 Dick Pics, Tinder Training your Toddler, and The Joy of Cooking Meth?

If you’re wondering how he managed to keep a straight face then the answer is simple. “The actual book I was reading was the autobiography of Madeleine Albright,” Scott . He also said that the books that got the best reactions were Gay Garfield and 10,000 Dick Pics. When asked if everybody found the stunt funny, Scott told us: “No one got mad, but many people were confused!” We can certainly believe it. As far as social experiments go, it’s definitely interesting. As far as comedy goes however, it’s nothing short of genius.
