In Search of a New Labcoat

I've been browsing the collections for a new labcoat. The absolute number one thing imperative to operating a lab such as mine is: Attire. If one doesn't look elegant, one doesn't feel elegant, and one is more apt to make mistakes.

Observe:

Though this Giambattista Valli is dramatic and wholly impractical for wear during lab work, it's fabulous.

This Hussein Chalayan has exquisite lines/seaming/pleating.

Akris. Typical lab coat but beautifully cut. If something is just what it is,

but with a great cut, you can't go wrong!

This YSL is ultra chic and feminine, complete with utilitarian pockets!

Something about this Tim Hamilton lab coat/bodysuit conjures warm feelings in my chest.

I think it may be something akin to love?

This article is spot on and fabulously true (though far too short!). I currently am completely obsessed with all kinds of aspects of science, as well as space and symbolism. All important topics to be fairly knowledgeable in- they will enhance your life here on earth exponentially, I guarantee it!

Please note Lyndie Dourthe's wonderous hand crafted beauties:

Lend an ear.

this is the best way I can think of to display fungi.

I love eyeballs.

Mercury Mama

After watching a recent news report ( http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vZArebYZzdc ), I've decided it is now safe to introduce my patented modern makeup marvel Mercury Skin Powder into the US market (copyright Dr. J.S. Lovecraft- please write for further information- hits drugstore shelves June 2010). I've been testing the toxicity levels on young women ages 14-25. Out of my 457 trials, 98.2% of my subjects have died. However, they were the most stunning 448.7 deaths I have ever witnessed:

Isn't she fabulous?? This proves my hypothesis that form will always trump function.
This is now a scientific fact.

Thanks CBS news! Couldn't have done it without you!
