navel lint
Life is too long: the fine points of navel lint
After studying 503 pieces of whatever from his own belly button, chemist Dr. Georg Steinhauser of Vienna, Austria, has demonstrated that it's not just cotton fiber but that stomach hair traps flecks of dead skin, fat, sweat, and dust, too. To eliminate the fluff, either shave your stomach or pierce your navel.

That's not much. Damn, my dreams of a belly-button lint sweater have been thwarted.

I am suddenly reminded of Ally Sheedy in The Breakfast Club using her dandruff as "snow" in her little sketch.
