She knew it could take hundreds of people thousands of hours to do the intricate needlework, using a centuries-old embroidery stitch few people know. As if that wasn’t enough challenge, the materials needed – silver gilt threads, hand-cut sequins – had been out of production for centuries and would have to be reinvented.

The story of the jacket and the required labor is told on Nyguyen’s site Thistle-Threads on the Plimoth Plantation website.

Launched at Burning ManSM as a cooperative art car project, the Cupcake Car sprang from the fevered mind of Bay Area artist Lisa Pongrace and her less-rules-more-laughs posse of artists and techno geeks.

Available where else but the Neiman Marcus Christmas Book for $25,000. I’ll take one with chocolate icing and nitrous under the hood please!
