Taxidermied Vermin For Your Hair!
200910 RP/Encore Taxidermy Accessories

I've seen my share of untimely pigeon deaths on the city streets, but never has the thought of putting one one my head crossed my mind.

Subway vermin beware! A new rather macabre hair trend has roadkill rising from the dead. Designer Reid Peppard has created RP/Encore, a line of taxidermied hair accessories which she assures are only the result of roadkill, pest control, and natural death.

Her creations include hair pieces like the Pigeon Wing Hair Comb decked out in Swarovski crystals and semi-precious stones. The Double Large Rat Headpiece is, yes, you guessed it - two large rats, one bearing the gift of a tiny skull.

But Reid doesn't stop with hair accessories. Now my mind flashes back to my best friend's pet hamster, Tabby. The walks in the park, watching her stuff food into her little cheeks - and then Alfred Hitchock-esque music rings in my head as I look at Reid's less than heart-warming, more hair-raising Large White Rat Coin Purse!

However creepy, you can't deny these accessories are indeed eye-catching and imaginative. Her collection even extends to jewelry. With Halloween just days away, these fuzzy fiends may just get to strut their stuff in style atop the coiffs of other undead. Who knew life after roadkill could be so glamorous?
