I live in and operate a tutu knitting factory.


Here, we see the main staple of the operation: duct tape. Lots and lots of duct tape. There is so much tape wrapped around the faucet there that if you turn on the hot water, the pressure immediately flips the fuck out, makes strange noises, and the water starts coming out of the showerhead. It's pretty funny, but also very painful when you go to turn it off because you have a lot of hot water dripping on you.














He we see the bathtub/hose set-up as a whole, as well as the final part of the process. "Drying" is actually just hanging tutus upside down with as much as possible over the tub until the downstairs neighbors call the landlord because of water problems.












And here is the work in progress. There exist two kiddie pools, but I only had enough lung strength to inflate one. I'll get around to the other at some point. Water enters pool from hose, mixes with shit tons of Oxy-Clean (note quantity on desk) and then just chills out with two tutus for eight hours. Then, I come back, add some more Oxy-Clean, and flip the damn things over like pancakes. Then they chill out for another eight hours before they move on to the drying phase.





Best. Summer. Ever.
