I'm only contracted to write 5 stories here a week, but when I saw this post from the fabulous Beaut.ie I decided some unpaid overtime was in order. How could I not share this piece of ridiculous looking kit with you, when you have a whole bank holiday to be amused and ridicule its bizarre function. Hey, I'm the one who created the Weird Beauty section of this site, so it's probably obvious I have a penchant for the inane.

The picture you see above is that of the Backtacular gluteal cleft shield. Yup, really. I quite like the sciency name they've given it, which is totally not in keeping with its diamante crusted exterior. So what is it? Well, it's EXACTLY what it looks like, and ultra bling way of keeping your butt crack hidden when wearing low rise jeans. Paris Hilton eat your heart out...

There are 6 different crack covers (snigger) which include butterfly, heart and peace signs and each comes with replacement sticky strips. They cost around a tenner, and will most likely draw attention rather than deflect it.

You can get them here.. should you be a teen heiress who loves to upset her parents, or just an MTV Sweet Sixteen wannabe.
