Mail Order Wings




Bitching and Junkfood feather wing shoulder pads. I noticed these when I was browsing the urban outfitters website. Aren't they incredible? They remind me of Icarus from Greek mythology. They would have been great for when I was at the Isle of Wight festival but sadly that was two months ago and in any case they are out of my price range (£210.. ouch!) but I still think they are amazing.

For those of you who don't know the story, I looked it up on wikepedia.
'In Greek mythology, Icarus is the son of the master craftsman Daedalus. The main story told about Icarus is his attempt to escape from Crete by means of wings constructed by his father. He ignored instructions not to fly too close to the sun, and fell to his death.'
That's a very brief description of a really sad story that always makes me cry.
