This is the leather belt lovingly crafted by leatherworker Julia for her brother's birthday. It features the last level of Super Mario Bros. painstakingly pressed out and painted. That's a belt I would be proud to wear. Now hear me out: let's say I was bad and deserved a spanking, right? You think if you whipped me with the Mario side of the belt it would leave imprints of the level on my supple, dimply buttcheeks? I say we try it. *drops pants, bends over chair* Well go on! "Let's talk about this 'PROPERTY OF T-REX' tattoo first." I was young and in love!

Hit the jump for a couple work-in-progress shots.
