I wonder how cats would react if they encountered someone wearing this dress. A good place to observe their reaction would be at a sanctuary like The Cat House On The Kings, which is home to over 700 unwanted cats and kittens.

No need for a discoball when wearing this!

Did any of these idiots know about potential eye damage for the audience? Maybe that just would be collateral damage.

@Virtual: I agree about the potential for eye damage. I also wonder if there is a possibility of these lights causing a seizure in people living with epilepsy.

From Epilepsy dot com:
"For about 3% of people with epilepsy, exposure to flashing lights at certain intensities or to certain visual patterns can trigger seizures. This condition is known as photosensitive epilepsy. More common in children and adolescents."

@Virtual -- It's fashion. There's bound to be victims.
