pA lot of eyebrows were raised in Helsinki this week when some unconventional undergarments went on sale in a local marketmdash;the images aren’t the most work-safe, so we’ve kept most of them after the jump. An example of the hairy chest tank top can be seen below. /p

p”Hairy Underwear” is the latest work of Finnish art duo “a href=”http://www.tarahtaneet.net/”Tauml;rauml;htauml;neet Auml;mmauml;t/a” mdash;a name that translates to something between “loony ladies” and “nutty tarts,” according to the artists Katriina Haikala and Vilma Metteri. /p
