Rattlesnake Dress: Talk About Fashion with Teeth!
These photos of Edith Holbert of Tucson, were taken in the 1930s. She was a rattlesnake fancier who hunted and captured the snakes on trips into the desert. She would tan the snake skins and create one-of-a-kind outfits. She kept newspapers on the floor of her house in case a snake got loose. This way she could hear the snake on the newspapers and catch him.
Would you wear one of her creations?
