The fashion blogosphere has stumbled upon The Hunger Games‘ parody site, The Hunger, but Mainly Death, Games, now that they’ve whipped up a batch of hilarious nail polishes to go along with their other jokes. The site’s gone all out, mocking the apocalyptic young adult series with fake trailers, book covers and even full chapters of alternative novels. “I mean, this thing is a death tournament, I have no idea why they call it the Hunger Games,” says a voice over on the video clip, “Ok, act scared!” while an opening chapter reads: “My quilt is missing. I lie there in the dark, rubbing my eyes, trying to think of where it could have gone. I hope it didn’t disintegrate, I think. After all, it’s only some pieces of wet newspaper. I reach out through the gloom, and find my answer: Pigrose, the disgusting little street urchin, has stolen it from me. Pigroseis also my beautiful little sister. As I lie here, shivering in the cold, I am left with one thought: Could life get any worse? Actually, it could. Because all of a sudden, I remember that today isno ordinary day. Today could end my very existence altogether.”
But it’s the nail polish line that will probably garner the most laughs—even if you plan on buying the actual Hunger Games polishes. Nervous Tribute Yellow is inspired by Reaping Day while the disturbing Greasy Sae Surprise looks like brains. Haymitch Silver is just a flask and Katniss’ Magenta is struck by an arrow, but Reminder Purple is our favorite. The bottle says, “Reminder, this is a death tournament, not a fashion show.”
