From Buckle to Bike

1. I’ll stop the world and belt with you

   Dear firemen, the way you swing those big, thick hoses around really gets us steamy. But now that you’ve finished spraying, do you mind helping a sister out? We could really use a tighter grip around our hips.

   

2. Ramblin’ man

   From street meat to wrist wear, Canadian porcupines are being converted to jewelry pieces — once they hit the road, that is. Lookin’ sharp!

   

5. Rack ’em up
