Recycle your old corks, turn them into … sexy underwear

It might perhaps be a bit difficult to do yourself (but worth a try?), but a Portuguese designer has created a line of sexy (hmm, well) underwear made from cork. The sexy frills are created by hand in a limited edition and are specially designed to function well for strip-tease occasions… Cork is made by stripping the cork oaks from the outer cover so it is appropriate to use for things meant to be taken off, is the theory. However, it is not something that will be sold in your usual clothes shop (or even your usual erotic outfit shop). It is not really a serious effort to create a new fashion brand (you might have guessed). The intention is to raise money to help protect the world’s biodiversity (oak forests supposedly are among those with the biggest number of species). The sexy underwear will be sold on auction on eBay and the money will go to protected endangered forests.
