Fad*ish- fashion and design

Now and again some interesting or thought provoking design graces my desk. As I was rustling through the normal correspondence, I came across a brochure for Liquid Skin, and realized that today was not that day. Interesting in concept, Liquid Skin is a glass designed to look as if one would scoop water in their hands and drink it. And though I guess if one was in the wilderness drinking water with your hands would be appropriate, but drinking a glass of wine with the same posturing at a diner party seems a bit crude. And to add insult to injury the marketing ploy for this invention is gearing it towards the picnic going bunch or the classy traveler on the go. But even in that capacity it seems like an ill thought of invention due to its delicate nature. So here is my theory: maybe this was an accident in the land of hand blown glass and someone decided to recoup their loss by being creative. In conclusion, I guess it could work, but I think that the concept just doesn’t hold water.
