Some clothing store called Diesel is supposed to have a fashion show tomorrow that will be streamed live to the web. Normally, I wouldn't give a pickled pucker, but they advertise it as a "journey with us through time and liquid space to a futuristic world of bioluminescence, giant mechanic cephalopods, futuristic aquanauts and mysterious galactic polyps"…and the accompanying images are all of weird jellyfish looking things and strange organic blobs. Hummm. Well. That sounds somewhat interesting.
Denim jeans for squid, do you think?
Maybe skinny naked models draped with ctenophore tentacles, with the welts slowly rising as they strut down the runway to collapse in anaphylactic shock?
Whatever it is, I'm sure my imagination is much better than whatever they're going to do.

Ctenophores? Anaphylactic shock? Were you thinking of the cubozoans = killer jellies?
I'll see your fancy pie in the sky fashionistas and raise you a knitted squid hat!
squid hat
Two jobs in one, keeps your head warm and wards off missionaries (along with everyone else)
feh, I see your shameless plug for trendy clothing and raise you a gathering of cephalopod obsessives at an actual marine lab this weekend:

Speaking of Boing Boing posts, you haven't commented on This idiot yet.
Diesel has had some briliant commercials in the past (I'm sure some of them can be found on Youtube), so it might be good.
David @1:
indeed; IIANM it's Cnidaria = stinging, Ctenophora = sticky.
But then, to the Cephalopodocentric, I suppose they all look alike.
"Galactic Polyps" would be a great name for a rock band.
I wonder if they mis-spelled "polips" on purpose?
Actually, it sounds rather painful
