An Argentine artist is selling sculptures made out of her own fat which was taken out during a liposuction.
Two kilos of the fat were transformed in two sculptures of the female naked body and are being sold for £250 each.
Called Take a Shower with Me, Nicola Constantino's exhibition also features 100 soaps made with the artist's own fat.
Mrs Constantino told Las Ultimas Noticias: "My work has always been about the body and consumerism.
"I know it is disgusting but I am also aware that those soaps have something that wakes up people's sexuality and eroticism. It is an invitation to put our bodies in contact."
The exhibition is at the Malba museum in Buenos Aires.
And yes, I've heard of-and briefly perused-the periodical Las Ultimas Noticias.
In fact, the Malba Museum is even starting to ring a bell or two.

You have way too much time on your hands. GET A FRIGGIN' LIFE PAL!
My designer Ikea furniture is my life dude. If you take that away from me...I'll...just...well I'll have to kill you. I'm sorry I have to be so blunt, but I've got a lot emotionally invested in that plush leather sofa. You're just going to have to deal with it.

Well someone has to attempt reparative therapy but he's bent beyond repair!
Listen, if you want to go into the reparative therapy business, that's fine, and I commend you on it, but you might want to start with an easier project. Someone closer to home, and not as far gone.

Ah, the Naked Cowboy. I was crossing the street in Times Square last year and had to stand in the center traffic island alone with him until the next "walk" light. Only in New York (hopefully)!
Argentina ping!
I used to work in an office where TNC was on display out my window all day long. He stood out there in the snow sometimes.
