OBESE pants come in handy.
A giant pair of pink underwear
helped one group of recordwannabe’s
score themselves a
place in the annals of Guinness
World Records history, as the
largest group to fit into a pair of
pants.
The attempt was just one of
many held across the world last
week to celebrate Guinness
World Records Day.
Other attempts included the most
people to dress as leprechauns
with 262 people donning
costumes, and a world record
race between the fastest toilet,
the smallest roadworthy car and
the fastest mobility scooter.
One man even dressed in
protective clothing and ran 120
metres on fire to pick up the title
for the longest distance full-body
burn without oxygen.

Well one UK dressmaker, Thelma Madine, decided to make the most of unwanted hair by crafting a dress made entirely of human hair. It took 250 metres of human hair, swept up from the floor of the Voodoo hair salon in Liverpool, Britain, as well as eight designers and 300 man hours to craft the colourful gown which weighs a whopping 95kgs. “It’s something that we’ve been thinking about designing for a while as it’s just so different,” said one of the design team. In addition to 250 metres of human hair, the dress also contains 1500 crystals and 12 underskirts.
