Cara Delevingne's Vagina
Acclaimed British actress and model Cara Delevingne has generated an NFT showcasing her vagina—or more precisely, its depiction.
Cara has long been focused on the vaginal aspect. Even the secret doors in her bedroom are crafted in the shape of pinkish labia. She acknowledges that traversing them inspires her and fuels her creativity. Hence, it was no surprise when she broached her favorite topic once more.
She introduced this token, saying: “My first word was ‘mine’. To me, that means something that is most mine, my vagina. I own it. It’s mine and no one else’s. I choose what I do with it. And no one can take that away from me”.
With this, Delevingne is alluding to the uniqueness and irreplaceability of this part of her body, which can't be duplicated or lent out, and which remains in the complete ownership of its bearer.

But, as with any NFT, Cara's digital vagina can be sold. And that's exactly what happened. The artwork was put up for auction on This Is Number One, and all proceeds were given to The Cara Delevingne Foundation—a charity dedicated to the protection of women's rights. The auction was held privately, and the transaction sum was not disclosed.
The Ears of a Renowned Singer
Taking a leaf out of Cara Delevingne's book, Polish singer Doda (Dorota Rabczewska) opted not to hold back and put all her body parts up for sale, including her lips, ears, and toes.
Doda executed a 3D scan of her body and partitioned it into 406 images, all of which she put up on an online auction.
The artist's body parts, so to speak, were snapped up. Now, one buyer owns her tokenized buttocks and another her eyes.
Her hand parts were sold at the lowest price—$20, while pieces of her tattooed back commanded a significantly higher price—$187.

A comprehensive set of the most intriguing body parts (nipples, buttocks, labia) was appraised by Fanadise, the company handling the sale, at $95,000.
Non-Fungible Toilet Paper (NFTP)
Charmin, a subsidiary of Procter & Gamble renowned for manufacturing eco-friendly diapers, wipes, and toilet paper, introduced a line of NFT toilet paper rolls.
Each token was set at a price tag of $4,100. However, these weren't your average rolls of toilet paper: they boasted unique flower designs created by well-known NFT artists Donna Adi and Shanee Benjamin.
Around two hundred JPEGs were sold off.

Charmin held back just 0.01% from the sale of each digital bundle. The manufacturer reports that the rest of the funds were channeled into Direct Relief, a nature conservation fund. But Charmin didn't stop there. The team has now officially unveiled three “ToiletTunes” tracks for listeners to enjoy in the restroom. They also aim to release these as NFTs.
Symphony of Digestive Gas Sounds
Even the air can bring profits, particularly when it's expelled from the rectum of a cinematic genius. Brooklyn-based director Alex Ramírez-Mallis has demonstrated this. For two years, he captured his “rectal resonance”. When his friends joined the performance, things accelerated.
Hundreds of soundtracks were recorded in total, lasting slightly over three hours altogether.
Alex sold them retail for $85 per NFT “fart”. He later decided to take it to another level, creating an entire sphincter NFT symphony that lasts for 52 minutes. This tokenized outcome of collective flatulence was put up for auction and sold for a whopping $16,000.
Those lucky ones who bought the individual “farts” also had a chance to make a profit: they were later sold on the secondary market for between $300 to $420 per “chord”.
Fairly, Ramirez was quite ironic about his project. In an interview with the New York Post, he claimed: “The NFT craze is absurd—this idea of putting a value on something inherently intangible”.
Absurd or not, an extra few tens of thousands of dollars surely didn't hurt him.
A Protest Against the Internet on the Internet
German DJ Boys Noize (Alexander Ridha) and artist SusBoy have launched an NFT designed to protest against the Internet realm.

This token, with its grim visuals and apocalyptic soundscape, was listed on the SuperRare platform. The creators initially valued this animated image at $9,800. However, realizing that their heartfelt effort wasn't appreciated at its full value, they agreed to sell the token for $3,400. Considering the cognitive dissonance caused by viewing this artwork, it wasn't a bad deal after all.
Sometimes, NFT creators don't just lack sense but also tact. The aspiration to preserve everything around us on the blockchain occasionally breaches the boundaries of sanity. During our research, we encountered a digitized dead mouse, NFT ashes left after a beloved grandmother's cremation, and a heap of similar grotesque items.
Naturally, we aren't keen on displaying such images.
