Cruelty to beetles

Apparently this isn't illegal:
Bling beetle brooch bugs US customs | World news | The Guardian

Brings you back to Burns and his contempt for the fashionistas!

"O would some Power the gift to give us
To see ourselves as others see us!
It would from many a blunder free us,
And foolish notion:
What airs in dress and gait would leave us,
And even devotion!"

Also my QI useless quotes of the day:

In the 18th century, fashion-conscious women plucked their eyebrows and glued on strips of mouse-skin instead.

"Fashion is a form of ugliness so intolerable that we have to alter it every six months." OSCAR WILDE
