String-tangling contest

Back in the forties, a scientist in Germany gave spiders doses of various drugs to see how they would spin their webs.  This dress is reminiscent of the web spun by a spider ripped to the tits on weed:  it produced a bit of web at an enormous rate before giving up completely and going to the all-night garage for six bags of Doritos and a Viennetta.

Topshop, £75.



PS  Interestingly, the spider on caffeine did worst:  about three strands were completed before the damned thing dozed off and had to be prodded awake with a cocktail stick.
