    The Instructables page has been bookmarked and will be put into use when I am a homeowner.

    All it needs is a larger moon for Ed Harris to stand in, and the whole webcam in my bedroom would make me fell like Truman!

    I think the "moon" is the best feature. This makes me feel like I'll never be a good father until I do this for my children.

    Most of the people at Giz would probably dig a ditch for faster downloads too, (especially if its for pr0n).

    Wow! Beautiful. Reminds me of some pictures I saw of flowers that were taken using X rays (in the radiology waiting room at the local hospital, of course) were also stunning. Must be the unique persective of common items that we lose sight of just how lovely they are until we see them in a new light.

    That's actually surprisingly beautiful. It kind of has a kimono-feel to it. The sash around the waistband looks a bit like an obi. Nice.

    Hey, all those lights are going to need portable power. And, given this dress's translucent silhouette, the only place I can think where she'd be hiding a big old battery is right up her...

    @bosskev: In a size 0 dress, youre probably right, BUT, for larger women the power source could be elsewhere. I have seen some ladies that could have Extra Heavy Duty Die Hard car batteries in their bras and no one would have noticed it.


    (We ladies hide all kinds of stuff in our bras, you cant even imagine.)

    Oh, and I SO don't want to!

    ...


    Somewhat related (at least, this convo reminded me of it) was a joke my mother would say about herself. In her youth, Mom was rather well-endowed. However, as it will for most women, decades of gravity took its toll, turning weather balloons into saddlebags.


    So one day she was in a group of ladies where someone mentioned the pencil test, where women test their breast size by wedging a pencil under their breast to see if it will stay. Without missing a beat, my mother piped up, "Pencil? How about you hand me that typewriter."
