I'm utterly inspired.  We need a paper napkin theme... don't we??  ;))

Somehow, I'd be afraid to put this on my head... especially ones with traces of liquids on them like the picture with the red background...

... although I guess it depends upon who the liquids belong to?

Great find

Jesus, this made me smile. Wonderful stuff.

I fly tomorrow so I'm pondering the possibilities!

I'm not sure that there is room for an adult and a Hasselblad in an aircraft's toilet! I could do some damage with that thing in there!

I keep coming back to these - this one (on the left of the screen) is particularly hilarious.

the one on the right is my favorite, Leon.  I absolutely bellowed... and then was horrified wondering if it was some sort of community toilet pillow??

Phil - I can picture it now.  Hassy around the neck, walking all confident and unapologetic-like with arms by sides as you make your way to the facilities.  'yeah, that's right, I'm going in this here bathroom with my camera... what of it?'. 
Door closes, the sound of the lock sliding. 
Some long silences peppered with sporadic loud flaps of the shutter and curtains snap away. 
Then a flushing toilet.
The sound of the door unlocking. 
Door opens.
And away you walk.  Hassy around your neck, front and center as Phil walks proudly back to his seat.
Nothing to see here, folks.  Nothing to see here.
... until next month when the film gets developed. 
:)

These images are absolutely brilliant.  In fact check out her website, she has some crazy stuff.

shows what you can do with some paper towels, a mobile phone, a vivid imagination and a few hours to kill!
