Between staring at E3 videos today, we discovered the spectacular work of artist Julie Heffernan. In this series of oil paintings from 2007, Heffernan presents a series of what are apparently self portraits featuring the artist in enormous dresses made from piles of dead animals. It's a startling, surreal series of paintings but completely wonderful. See more, after the break.

Previously, we covered a guy who wore the same jeans for over a year in the name of science. Now, a Colorado woman has vowed to wear the same dress for six months in the name of charity, specifically The Daughter Project. As of this writing, Amy Seiffert has reached the halfway point in her effort to raise awareness for sex trafficking in the United States. This is a great idea! She's like the Seth Brundle of good causes.
