Shoes Made of Human Skin

Big Nose George Parrott  is the only man in American history to become a pair of shoes.

Big Nose George was apprehended in Miles City, Montana in July, 1880 after drunkenly boasting of an attempted train robbery. He was found guilty and sentenced to hang on April 2, 1881 in Rawlins, Wyoming. He tried to escape so the process was sped up. A mob of over two hundred angry townfolk strung George Parrott up and, after two botched attempts, successfully killed him at the end of the rope.

With nobody to claim his corpse, he was handed off to Doctor John Osborn for research. Osborn sent his skin (including his nipples) to a tannery with instructions to make a medicine bag and a pair of shoes while he continued his experiments.

Osborn became the first Democratic Governor of the State of Wyoming. He was said to have worn his special shoes at his inaugural ball in 1893. He later became the assistant Secretary of State under President Wilson.

George’s nipples were not used in the making of the shoes.

I want a story about an Italian vampire.

No romance, no action.

Just 200 pages of “What do you mean, I can’t have garlic? Do you know where I’m from?”

TBH I think the main issue would be the mirror thing

have you ever met an Italian man

the amount of time they spend looking in the mirror jfc

#the more you think about it the more all vampire rules are just anti-italian rules#can’t go out in sunlight?? IN ITALY???#Can’t go near crucifixes? IN ITALY???

a bunch of pissed off vampires stuck in Venice because they can’t go over moving water

Not to victim blame, but you’d have to be a pretty bad Italian to even get turned into a vampire in the first place.

the only two places practically immune to vampires are texas and italy

Let me tell you of A Thing.

Lithuania has no vampires, I guarantee it.

Lithuania has one vampire, and let me tell you, she’s gonna be FURY UNLEASHED once someone gets her out of the centre of that crossterfuck of a burial point.

cackled and kicked my feet at “crossterfuck” oh my god
