Man Tattoos Halloween Costume on Face to Wear Year Round

In an article about pushing boundaries, Cathy Horyn of the Times begins by gloating about how her real estate investor friend and his doctor wife are raising children in Connecticut without a television.

Then she reports about how fashion designers are pushing the envelope by using transgender models and albinos in their shows.

So will people be more likely to buy an article of clothing because it looks flattering on a dead person?
