Here's one just for the ladies

This will surely send a little shiver up the ladies among our readers. The College of Physicians of Philadelphia have put together this delightful online exhibit of gynecological instruments. Yup, you can find it all here: from the anteversion pessary to the wire ecraseur. For some reason, as I scrolled through all the delightful pictures, my mind kept drifting back to the movie Dead Ringers and the gynecological instruments for mutant women.
A Friend of a friend Told me this about this web site

Not a weird site per se, but an absolutely invaluable reference for tracking down urban legends. You know urban legends: the choking doberman, the 'lights out' gang initiation, the Mexican pet, the Twin Towers tourist, etc. The next time one of your friends forwards an amazing story to you, check here to see if it's for real or not. They do a great job of keeping up on all the latest stories circling the Internet and tracking down whether or not they are true.

Welcome to the Petticoat Pond, 'The Petticoat and Crinoline Site of Record—with Daily Updates.' All petticoats, all the time. Make sure you visit the Pinups pages tucked away in the Images section of the site. There you will see some of the most beautiful creatures (all in petticoats or crinoline of course). If you'd like to be included in the gallery (Lois, Lucy, La La! Listen up!) make sure you follow the submission instructions.
No, It's Italian. It says 'Frah-Jeel-lay.'

This site features lamps made from womens lingerie. I wonder if the creator was inspired by the 'Special Prize' from A Christmas Story. Some of these creations are actually quite pretty. All of them are definitely conversation pieces. The lamps run about $140. You know, if any of you faithful readers wanted to present me with a small token of your esteem ... well, I was particularly taken with Daphne, Molly, Hazel, and Juanita, but I'm sure I could love any of them.
