How to avoid getting attacked: pretend to be a vending machine

You're walking down a deserted street. It's dark. You're nervous. Glancing behind, you see a menacing figure. Are you about to be mugged? Raped? Murdered? You can't run in those heels, and there's no one else around to help you. What can you do?

Why, turn your skirt into a vending machine camouflage costume of course! If cartoons have taught us anything it's that bad people are very very stupid, and can be easily duped by something as simple as a quivering, cloth vending machine.

The crime-eluding costume has been created by Japanese fashion designer Aya Tsukioka, who claims ninja cloaking disguises as her inspiration. But why hide anyway? Why not fight back? "It is just easier for Japanese to hide," Ms Tsukioka explained to theage.co.au."Making a scene would be too embarrassing."

Because, obviously, a) the very worst thing about being attacked is that it's embarrassing, and b) there's nothing at all embarrassing about pretending to be a machine that sells fizzy pop.
