your hair, it's everywhere

so i have this aversion to hair that is not stuck firmly on someone's head. stray strands found in a shower, brush, floor, shirt, wherever make me shudder. and then i saw this: ten bizarre uses for your discarded hair. and i think i'm scarred for life. i have no idea how these people can stand handling all those hairs.

the ten uses are:
1. a hairdresser made a replica of tiananmen square... completely out of himan hair.
2. another hairdresser created a hair mat which helped contain an oil spill.
3. there are dresses and entire fashion lines made out of human hair.
4. a former hairstylist designed a chair out of human hair.
5. people use it as garden mulch.
6. a chinese artist decorated walls with human hair.
7. elvis presley's hair was auctioned.
8. some artists are completely devoted to hair jewelry.
9. there is a hair museum.
10. an australian was arrested for stealing hair from women's luggage for his own collection.

ew. all those people are gross. click on the link up there at the top to see pictures of the grossness. some of it actually looks really cool (the artist's walls) until you remember what it's made of.
