Does it come with a fat free label in the cuttlefish supermarket?

It's that seafood diet that keeps it so slim.

I wouldn't have taken you for the waif-loving type.

Tentacles that go on forever...

Cephalopods don't freak me out usually, but for some reason, I can't look at this one without squirming.

Freud was right. I saw the title 'Suppermodel' and right below it is the category 'Orgasm' I looked again, orgasm? ARGH Organism.

You can barely see the scars from the cosmetic surgery.

I love what they're doing with body paint these days.

She's got tentacle implants, or is it he's got tentacle implants?

As with "Supermodels" I just want to shove a sandwich at this "Suppermodel".

Eat! Eat! You're too skinny!

Work it, girl! Fierce!

Woah! I squid-gasmed!

Must be one of those European "Runway Model" Size zero. I like my Cephalopods with some meet on there bones,... err so to speak, or coin a phrase,...

Still nice eye to look at.

PZ, yous always have the bestest Cephalopods to look at ;-)

How beautiful!

I for one would welcome cephalopod benefactors.

Cthulhu's new trophy wife.

@Postman:

Ugh... Ate enough dulce as a child, thanks. O! The horrors of growing up less than a mile from the Atlantic Ocean: Having to eat dulce and periwinkles, getting bitten by sandfleas, going swimming in July when the water temp is 6 Celcius...

On the plus side: Incredibly cheap lobster, and lots of it.

Supermodel? Is it an Australian beauty pageant candidate?

Someone get her a sandwich!

Surely this picture raises unreasonable, and potentially health-threatening aspirations of slimness in normal Cephalopods. I think it's a bit irresponsible to post it.

Cephalopods don't freak me out usually, but for some reason, I can't look at this one without squirming.

ditto. maybe it's the odd similarity to a spider

Who knew they could be anorexic?

Quick, a round of therapy and a nice oily fish for the lady.

Is it Macedonian?

For anybody who has a life, an Australian model was in the Miss Universe Contest, and made it pretty far, even though she is frighteningly scrawny. The pageant spokeswoman said that she is Macedonian, and has "the typical Macedonian body type".

Do not look up an article about her, as a picture is included.

Long cephalopod is looong.

(I can't believe I'm the first one to think of Long Cat.)

That looks downright naughty.
