Fashion Mishap

Some things you can't make up.  Last Halloween, a young man glued a tiny sequin hat to the side of his head as part of his costume.  The only problem was the glue he was supposed to use (fabric-adhesive) wasn't working well so, instead, he used Super Glue (cyanoacrylate).  After the holiday, he couldn't get the hat off.  So... he went to a hospital Emergency Room.

Here's his story.  It's actually pretty funny.  :)





In a related story, the inventor of Super Glue (Harry Coover) died on Sunday.  (No joke.)

  2. Haha, poor guy but at the same time it was his own fault, so I don't feel sorry at all.

  8. My friend was an eyeball for halloween and she super glued googly eyes on her forehead. For the next few weeks she was walking around with 3 times the normal amount of eyes. It was hilarious. (and I don't feel bad saying that because she thought so too)

  9. At least he's in good spirits over it! I'd probably be freaking out. Honestly though, he looks a lot worse with the "diamante donut" than just the silly hat.

    P.S. I want to thank you for your support and everything lately. I was re-reading the Love-Your-Body-Day interviews I did and your statements really helped me out recently. I've CONSTANTLY struggled with my skin, from severe acne when I was 13 to cystic acne caused by make-up when I was 16 to a bunch of redness today. It's easily covered up by make-up, but I recently got very bothered by it for a few days. Then, I came across your interview where you discussed personal and social appearances, and I realized you're right. I wear make-up all the time, so no one usually sees the redness. So why should I be bothered by it? It's not damaging my health or anything, so screw it.

    It's hard to explain, but, in conclusion, your wisdom has helped me out! Yay.

  11. I have an ER story that my father-in-law says is true...fortunately, it didn't happen to me!

    Supposedly, some man in Louisiana ended up with a snapping turtle hanging onto the end of his nose, and he couldn't get it to let go no matter what he did. So he went to the ER and just sat and sat and sat with the turtle on his nose. He got bored and went outside to smoke and stood there puffing away, trying to keep the turtle out of his way! Can you imagine being one of the people that randomly passed by him outside?!

    Despite the sadness that he needed a cig THAT BAD, the story still makes us all laugh whenever someone brings it up...which is fairly often. :)
