Sheer Bad Taste

Haiya, like that also can arrrh?  Signs of liberalism or just sheer bad taste?  You probably think I took this picture off a shop that sells lingerie.  Actually I walked passed a joss stick shop (in Jalan Tokong, Malacca)  and did a double take when I saw this bright blue black lace bra and panties set.  This ensemble is make of paper and meant to be burnt offerings for dearly beloved departed ones.  In this case it is either wife, girlfriend or your transvestite best friend!  I marvel at the ingenuity of the craft man who thought of the inner needs of the dead.  And the workmanship of these articles were meticulous.  Look at those 'Mickey and Minnie Mouse' buttons!  Hmmmm .... I wonder what next?  Paper sex toys in the offings?




Would you burn this for your dead grandmother as offerings?
