PREGNANCY in 90 seconds.
An American couple have
celebrated their baby daughter by
making a 90 second video which
charts her mother’s pregnancy
and the child’s birth.
The quirky video has become an
internet sensation, and is created
using a collection of snapshots of
the woman, wearing the same
clothes, from the moment she
found out she was pregnant,
through her growing belly, to
when her partner walks in and
kisses her belly to ‘deliver’ their
baby girl.

LIFE after death.
A German artist, Iris Schieferstein, is embracing the ‘waste not, want not’ philosophy, by creating a new range of shoes made out of dead animal parts. The unusual shoe collection includes high heeled horse bootscreated utilising the hooves as the sole of the shoe, and sandals created using the carcasses of dead doves. Not for everyone, the shoes are crafted using dead bits of animals collected from Iris’ local butcher (after having been threatened with gaol time for using road kill), which she then spends a week stripping off flesh and bones, before the hide is tanned. Once tanned, the skin of the animal is then moulded around the foot of a shoe model and set in place before the insoles and lining is added. “I love horses and I love shoes so I thought this would be perfect,” Iris said. “Horses have a beautiful walk and I wanted to recreate that with my footwear,” she added. The shoes sell for around $5,700 a pair.
