Would You Wear a Chanel Jerky Purse?

Here’s something I’ve never seen before — a designer handbag that could double as a snack. While the purse pictured above may look exactly like the iconic quilted Chanel 2.55 handbag that fashionistas know and love, it’s actually made out of beef jerky. Seriously.

The meaty Chanel knockoff was made by Nancy Wu, a student at the Art Center College of Design in Pasadena, California. To make the bag, she sewed together sheets of beef jerky. I bet this purse smells lovely...and I’m sure Lady Gaga is clamoring to get her hands on one of these.

Here's a close-up shot of Wu's work:

Kim Kardashian Has a Ginormous Engagement Ring

After having dated for six months, Kim Kardashian and Kris Humphries are engaged — and you won’t believe the size of her rock!

The staggering ring, which reportedly costs over $2 million, was designed by Lorraine Schwartz and features a total of 20.5 carats.

"It's the most beautiful thing I have ever seen," Kardashian told People magazine. "It's perfect."

To put things in perspective, TMZ points out that the huge diamond ring is worth almost half as much as her Beverly Hills mansion!!

Humphries, the 26-year-old NBA star, proposed to Kardashian by spelling out “WILL YOU MARRY ME?” with rose petals.
A date for the wedding has not yet been set.

Would you pay $300 for a Snakeskin Manicure?

It was only a matter of time before someone came up with the idea. Fashionistas love them some snakeskin bags and shoes — and now, they can even get a snakeskin manicure.

Terri Silacci, a manicurist from Monterey, California, applies discarded snakeskin (naturally shed by snakes) with gel in a two-and-a-half hour process, which requires her to cut the snakeskin to fit each individual nail. The cost of this lengthy, scaly treatment? Between $150-$300.

Silacci, who recently appeared on the Today show to promote her snake nails, says that the manicures last up to three weeks, and pedicures up to 12 weeks.
