At that certain street corner where truth and fantasy intersect there are quite a few people who make clothing and footwear out of, well  paper. Sometimes these are meant to be worn (I think) .

Any minute now the winner of this year’s toilet paper wedding dress will be announced. And these are for wearing. No, I’m serious and you would be proud to be seen in one.

This one even has the flowers as well. Not too shabby–right? So anyway now you can begin to consider your options. As a paper cutter I will be in the front row applauding when you win. Bravo.
