In a grotesque haute couture mishap, a frenzied swarm of butterflies attacked a fashion model during a show in Paris. Police believe the model had used butterfly food instead of hairspray, and horror ensued.
The model was rescued by security guards using standard anti-butterfly tactics, but not before hundreds of teensy fang marks were left on her face.
Of course, since the model was wearing a creation by designer Alexander McQueen, the incident may have been a publicity stunt gone-wrong, starting as a clever word-play homage to Butterfly McQueen, the legendary actress from Gone with the Wind. More on this theory as it develops.
