“I chose salami because it’s thin, keeps in one piece, and is quite cheap, and bacon because it looks very, um, meaty. I considered somehow vacuum-sealing sheets of meat with those sealers they have on the markets now, but the machines were too expensive for a one-time-only disposeable dress. I ended up using the K.I.S.S. method of construction, which involved a basic shift dress out of thick cotton. I layed the meat on top, then put clear vinyl over it and sewed tracks with clear thread. I used a wide stitch length to avoid perforating the meat to the point it might just… uh, slide down the bottom of the dress. I also blotted it all before sewing to get rid of as much grease as possible to avoid clouding the vinyl. Lastly, I made sure to bind the bottom of the dress with a strip of clear vinyl to catch drips. (I love talking about this; it’s so disgusting.) The whole project took about 6 hours, and I kept it refrigerated until the party. Good times.” View the full article

Many have been asking - where is Michael Jackson's beloved chimp Bubbles? Turns out he's in Wauchula at a place called "The Center for Great Apes."

The center's website explains, "Bubbles was born in a biomedical laboratory, but taken from his mother and sold to a Hollywood trainer while still an infant. He was purchased for Michael Jackson and soon gained fame as Jackson's pet chimpanzee. "

Patti Ragan, Director of the Center for Great Apes, issued the following statement in response to the numerous inquiries regarding Bubbles:

Bubbles, the chimpanzee formerly owned by Michael Jackson, has been cared for by the Center for Great Apes (CGA), a sanctuary for chimpanzees and orangutans in need of lifetime care, since 2005.

When Bubbles became too large to be handled by Jackson, he lived his earlier years at the California compound of Bob Dunn, Michael Jackson's animal trainer.
