Roach Broach? (pics at link)
(Salt Lake City, UT) - A small boutique in Salt Lake City is selling rather unique jewelry.

A designer came up with the idea to make a brooch out of a roach.

Kept on a tiny leash, the Madagascar hissing cockroaches are decorated with various jewels. They're then allowed to do what they do best; crawl.

If you dare to wear these living ornaments, you'll pay between 40 and 80 dollars.

10. Disgusting.
The poor roach is alive. How would that "designer" like to be chained, adjourned with jewels, and made to crawl?
