It’s no surprise the mastermind behind this new sensation is Chinese online shopping website, Taobao, which literally translates to “searching for treasure website.” Yes, Taobao, we certainly have hit a fucking pot of gold with this one.

Apparently the demand for these hairpieces is so high, the producers are working overtime to just to fill orders. Can you imagine making pork belly hair clips for all 1.3 billion people that live in China? Just think if that was real pork — you could supply all Chipotles with carnitas forever!

Yes that is what I want

If you for some reason get hungry when you see plastic meat, buy a whole smorgasbord of clips. Because food = v high fashion.
