This amazing kite comes to us from the Bali Kite Festival in Indonesia. This seasonal religious festival is intended to send a message to the Hindu Gods to bless the crops and provide an abundant harvest this year. Over 1000 traditional kites were flown during the festival, but only one bad ass shark.

These fitted gloves made from the skin of a basking shark might look warm and comforting, but they come with a huge price tag (€720.00), and a very serious commitment. Much as the name suggests these gloves will leave “a lasting impression” on anyone who dares to put them on. Inside the unlined gloves are hundreds, if not thousands, of mic-rose thorns all slanted inward. Should you ever attempt to remove the gloves the thorns will tear the flesh from your hands like a thousand fishhooks.
Sruli Recht Sharkskin Gloves – “The ultimate and final commitment.”
