Let’s say you join a cult.
Find a wife.
She learns to knit.
She gives you two beautiful children.
She makes you wear weird outfits like this horrible nightmare (NSFW/kids).
At what point do you just walk away or kick her out of the cult?
I gotta know.
:S
I also would love to know the real backstory on this. Anyone? Bueller?
EDITED TO ADD:
Erika Jurney from Try Handmade (basically the alter ego of Craftastrophe as she showcases the awesome and beautiful things from the world of handmade items) to the rescue! Here is the story behind this garb! Read on for what turns out to be a lovely explanation:
Natasha, Peter, Zack and Imogen pose against a garden trellis, bathed in the soft light of a spring afternoon. Man and wife, with one boy and one girl, they are the very embodiment of the wholesome nuclear family…except that they’re all naked. Sort of.
In fact, they’re clad head to toe in hand-knitted mohair bodysuits, from which sprout gender-appropriate appendages and thick strands of body hair. Naked suits, if you will. Mom stares blankly ahead, her pillowy pink breasts askew, as her little girl reaches over to poke at dad’s fuzzy knitted member. Father and brother look on, grinning. Somehow, perhaps because the suits are so goofy and the subjects so clearly delighted, this scenario manages not to be creepy.
In Anna Maltz’s new series One Size Fits All, families of various configurations don the same suits and pose for conventional portraits, to riotous effect. Julia, Sandra, Katie & Jazz, San Francisco make the case for the two-mommy family (though one gamely dons the daddy suit).

It’s rare that I’m at a loss for words. But yeah, I’m there now…
March 26th, 2009 at 3:18 pm
………BAHAHAHAHAHAHA. Would this constitute as kiddie porn?
The little girl touching her daddy’s boing-boing brings back memories from when I was a little kid and my dad didn’t lock the door to the bathroom during a shower.
I mortified him by walking in, poking it and asking “is it dead?”
He’s locked the bathroom door ever since.

I don’t think it’s kiddie porn so much as the little girl is curious about her Dad’s knitted dong. It’s so messed up tho – I really wish I knew the story behind it. Googling relative terms only brought up weirder crap!
And “is it dead?” PRICELESS!!
March 26th, 2009 at 3:18 pm
I’m thinking of the right thing to say. It isn’t coming to me.

i wouldn’t be nearly HALF as disturbed if they could have just posted a picture where the little girl ISN’T examining her dad’s junk. OH my god, am i uncomfortable.
you do have to admit though.. they look warm..
..i just threw up in my mouth a little bit.
March 26th, 2009 at 5:28 pm
This is the worst craftastrophe I’ve ever seen. I’m horrified.
Really? Who would make something like that? Then actually photograph it? Or put it on? I’d say I’m speechless but I have so many questions!

Holy Mother of God. This is frightening. And FUNNY as hell!! Too much. Who, what, why, when?
Who would ever make these?
What purpose would they serve?
Why would it ever be necessary to wear these?
When the HELL would you wear them?
Still laughing but creeped out at the same time. And I have no problem with real nudity. Just an FYI for ya.

What is with the look on the dads face?
It’s like he’s ENJOYING his daughter poking his man bits.
This is horrifying, sickening, and oddly hilarious. But I think it’s nerviest
laughter…
March 26th, 2009 at 7:22 pm
Nope, totally still creepy.
March 26th, 2009 at 7:36 pm
The hair on the father’s chest and the moms…. Lady parts is very pronounced. Also I find the fact that there is skin bunched up around their legs very funny.
March 26th, 2009 at 7:40 pm
how can they possibly think this ‘manages not to be creepy’??? this is the epitome of creepy.

OMG Father and daughter discussing his twigs and berries as she gingerly holds on to them. PRICELESS family moment people!
I am eeriely creeped out yet can’t stop staring at it. LOL
March 26th, 2009 at 7:46 pm
Yes, but do they have it an African-American color?
March 26th, 2009 at 7:57 pm
Mohair anatomically correct bodysuits? I think they must be part of a nudist colony in the subarctic.
How exactly is this not construed as creepy? ‘Cause I gotta say it makes me feel pretty awkward.
March 26th, 2009 at 8:25 pm
…..for the body conscious nudist wannabe

I read the explanation.
Still creepy.
And it makes me think of that novelty song — what was it called… you know the one with “you and me baby we ain’t nothing but mammals.”
March 26th, 2009 at 10:16 pm
Ok so the bump on the little girls gential area – seriously what is that – please tell me it is not what I think it is – I do not want to see a little girls –nubbin–(only half decent word i could think of)
March 26th, 2009 at 10:28 pm
I hope you all realize the word lovely in my last sentence was complete sarcasm.
This picture is SO beyond messed up.
March 26th, 2009 at 11:04 pm
If I hold my hand over the three to the left and just look at the mom, she reminds me of the way you hope Muppets would be if they could come to life and drop E with you.
I have to block out the rest of them, though. I can’t see them!
March 26th, 2009 at 11:05 pm
OH MY GAWD! What is that little girl doing to her daddy knitted knutsack? This disturbs me.

That is really really sick in some ways. Why must they show the picture of that girl examining her dad. And on the second hand it looks very itchy, that alone makes me uncomfortable.

ok, so this is wrong-just plain old wrong, maybe would have been funnier if they had posed, umm differently. Still funny in a making my skin crawl kind of way. Think they are nudists?

Honestly, I didn’t even notice the whole fondling of the jiblets at first because I was completely distracted by the boston terrier eyeball-like boobies, going all which-way and what-not.

EEk. Kind of totally wrong.

I think it might be interesting as an art exhibit (especially with the photos of the other families), I’m fascinated by the work that went into it, but I just can’t take it seriously because of the little girl’s curiosity, although I’m not disturbed by the pieces, really.
March 28th, 2009 at 2:21 am
I’m sorry, but the girl poking at daddy’s junk is just a bit disturbing!
…but “is it dead” BWAHAHAHAHAHA What an ego crusher! No wonder he locked the door after that!
March 31st, 2009 at 8:16 pm
Um….
Um….

No words. LOL
