Painted Hand Grenades & Bullets

Army Trash Makes Fashion, Not War

If you are going to accessorize, make sure the accessories blow you away. Army Trash is a collection of a hand grenade covered with gold and pink paint. He then stuck on some colored glass for sparkle. Lest this designer be forgotten his name for posterity is Gerhardt Kellermann. You could do better? Of course you could! But your camo-man trailer park dweller would think you were hot if you had this next your your waterbed.
