This is a joke that got really out of hand. I had been creating "content aware" collages of Donald Trump's face in mid-2015, during the rise of Donald Trump in the US presidential race. A friend suggested I turn these into a pair of leggings and I was crazy enough to do it.
That suggestion turned the project into a challenge: design, fund, and create the worst pair of leggings possible - and do so in the worst, fastest way possible. I launched a Kickstarter to fund their creation and advertised it using intentionally bad videos and fliers, the latter of which I created in Microsoft Word. I advertised using the language of Donald Trump: "something's wrong with you, so donate to support this Kickstarter!"
I fully funded the project in mid-October and my final leggings went out in mid-November, just as Donald Trump's candidacy stopped being funny.

One of my advertisements for the Kickstarter. I posted the print up with instructions to "deface" it. Many people took creative liberties in expressing their thoughts about Trump.
