My pal Michele of Crowded Teeth told me a cute story about a friend of hers who got her boyfriend’s kidney after one of hers failed. It seems he’s a very big guy and she’s very wee, so her newer and larger kidney sticks out a little bit. I never really thought about the fact that — duh — your organs are proportionate to your body size. Obvious, but interesting. Hell, if that kidney fits, go ahaed and wear it.

These gorgeous guts, made from leather and found objects, are the work of Kelly Steinauer, and you should check out her guts. One of our fabulous customers turned us on to her, and we becamne instantly entranced by the clever melancholy of her stomachs, spleens and other innards. We especially love the intestine, which looks — appropriately enough — like some seriously crazy plumbing, seen here at left. The super-cool uterus, pictured at right, caught our eye with her tough looks. She looks about ready to gun up a badass motorcycle and zoom off into the sunset.
