Fashion is no longer just for the living.
If you can’t find a coffin that expresses the complexity of you, consider the Infinity Burial Suit. Created by Jae Rhim Lee and Mike Ma it’s the latest in eco-friendly, post-mortem fashion.
It’s not only chic, it’s good for the environment. It helps your body to decompose and neutralizes the toxins the body releases into the earth. Plus …
You can never go wrong with basic black 🙂
As to how it works, the suit is embroidered with thread infused with mushroom spores that grow from the body after burial. Essentially, the mushrooms eat you.
Now would be a good time to mention — I don’t like mushrooms.
Don’t like the texture, don’t like the not-taste. Might as well eat Tofu, which BTW, I don’t eat either 🙂
It didn’t help my hate affair with mushrooms any that, even though I was a Psychology major back in my university days, I was dumb enough to take a Mycology course because I thought it would be cute to share a class with my boyfriend.
Ugh.
The labs were torture. The professor cooked up a batch of mushrooms on a hot plate in the classroom. Even worse, I got a B and my boyfriend got an A!
So yeah, fry mushrooms in butter, drop them into a pasta sauce, do whatever you want with them, but … keep them off my plate.
I’m not eating them, but I could be persuaded to let them eat me 🙂
I’ve left instructions to be cremated, so this isn’t going to be an issue I think.
Here’s another fashion peculiarity, from the world of competitive swimwear.: How to put on a jammer suit. Seriously!

I was thinking cremation too, but apparently that uses enough energy to heat a house.
I found three jammer-donning instruction videos on YouTube. “Insert one leg at a time.” Seriously?
LOL! Thanks, you just made my Saturday 🙂

Presumably the swimmer guy in the video should not be wearing a Speedo under his jammer suit. Which makes me wonder how he gets his boys jammed into that jammer.

LOL! “jammed into that jammer” Nice.
Uh…. carefully 🙂
I was wondering if they were supposed to be wearing a swimsuit under the jammer…
One of the guys, blond hair, looked exhausted after finally getting that thing on 🙂

Ha! I was looking for videos about Olympic diver, Jack Laugher. This was one of the “related” videos YouTube offered up. Can you blame me?

I’ve made provision in my will for cremation – I never know when I’m going to be run over by a London bus!

That’s my choice too.
I’m going to be in London for a few days in July, I’ll keep an eye out for the buses 🙂

OH MY GOD!!! This is SOOOOO rockin’!!! I love, love LOVE this! Thanks. I’m really going to put that in my will! Sitting here laughing, but mean it! And…THANK YOU! I was just over at LittleFears, reading Peter’s post on Cookies and privacy. I don’t understand any of it….but I came to Your room to see how You’ve go it set up. Just going to do what You and Peter have done. I really don’t know what to type in….using the default settings. Is that okay? And leaving it up to the view to close if/when they want. That seems to be what You Two are doing. Anyway……have a great one and seriously….thanks again! 🙂

I thought it was an interesting alternative, but you have to buy a plot…I was leaning towards cremation and scattering my ashes. Seems weird to buy a piece of land I won’t be here to enjoy 🙂
And ….moving on ….
As far as the cookie/privacy thing goes, I have no idea either. I just copied and pasted Peter’s privacy policy.
It turns out that those of us on WordPress.com, the low end of the totem pole, don’t have to add a cookie banner because of the ads on our site, WordPress added the banner automatically.
For the rest of WordPress, I think you just add a widget and the default should be fine.
I’m really no expert though, Peter’s post helped me a lot. 🙂

Ah. I was so lost in cookie confusion that I missed the part about buying the plot. Yeah. I’ll probably do the cremation/scattering the ashes thing as well. Although I heard of a place in Florida (I think it was Florida!) where they have acres and acres of woodland. It looked very beautiful. I think I saw it in a documentary or something….drawing a blank….but there are no formal gravesite at all. It’s an official/legal “graveyard”….but there are no headstones or markers. You pay them and when You die they either allow You to be buried there just wrapped in cloth or in a very simple pine box that will biodegrade. Your family is allowed to plant a tree where You are buried….or to mark it very simply for the service in a way that will disappear shortly. And they give the family a map so they can come hike there and just be in great beauty knowing “You” are there. I thought it was really interesting. Green Burials or something like that. But a doc I was recently watching showed how just ash greatly feeds the earth and helps things. So…..we’ll be helping feed things/giving back even in ash form! 🤣 My man absolutely hates when I talk like this! 😄 Thanks again for Your help in all the cookie stuff. And yes….Peter is SO helpful and generous it’s crazy wonderful!!! Cheers and Rock on!!!! 🤗💖☀️
