Food as clothing

Chef makes wedding gown with cream puffs. (Be sure to click on the photo for an enlarged image.)

Cute, but it did, however, remind me of the reason costumes made from food are generally banned at science fiction conventions.

Mike Resnick wrote:In 1972, a costumer came as his own underground cartoon character, "The Turd". He was covered by gallons of peanut butter, and he evidently never figured out what happens to peanut butter when it's exposed to hot stage lights and photo lamps for 4 hours. It turned rancid, destroyed every costume he rubbed against, and did serious damage to the carpeting and drapes. From that day on, no more peanut butter.

I wasn't at that particular convention, but I had the misfortune to encounter "The Turd" elsewhere. It was chunky peanut butter. Truly gross.
