Saturday Squid!

Saturdrag

Really, when it comes to the ol’ Calamari, can you ever get enough?

Here at the ol’ raincoaster blog, we’re partial to our Calamari Grande, and our Octopodia Grande, as perhaps you may have noticed. And our accomplices from around the globe have been feeding our obsession lately, as perhaps you’ve also noticed, you smart cookie, you.

But wait, there’s MORE.

And MORE.

And songs!

Cthulhu couture!

Our favorite fashion fuggers have delved deeply into the murky waters which are trends and look at what they’ve fished up from the bottom: fishy fashions; Cthulhu couture; R’lyeh wraps. They’re what everyone is wearing to the formal hoe-down at the Esoteric Order of Dagon Hall (no relation to Anthony Michael Hall).

See for yourself, if you dare. Behold John G’halia-no’s wakame sake-inspired Kelp Me, I’m Falling:

Kelp me I’m falling

And, if you still retain sanity and will, scroll downward to view what every halfbred Deep One will be wearing to her prom, or her Transition, whichever comes first. Behold the Chitin Blossom, from B’hyll Bass.

Scales Dress GFY

ten THOUSAND tentacles!

Well, plenty anyway.redwoods

It’s just under a month to my actual birthday and the virtual presents are already piling up under the ol’ raincoaster birthday tree.

First of all, the world is finally showing the lolgoths some love, with links from France, Germany, and the republics of laughing squid, loltapirs, lolbuffy, and lolnin. And WordPress.com top posts, finally; everybody is completely verklempt about the Marilyn/Dita thing. Even if they DID downvote it to minus two on reddit. Goths have no sensa huma.

Gawker used something I sent them, which is like the second time in history after the sure thing booze post from Cold Desert.

And today, they gave me this:

Padma

Seriously, does it look like she just whipped those out of her Wonderbra or what? I adore the fact that the lipstick perfectly matches the octopi. How cute is that? I can picture the makeup artist at the Dior counter, holding shade after shade up to the octo-hides…

Oh wait, I just remembered that octopi can change colour to match their backgrounds. Obviously these were slate grey or plaid or sumpin until she picked them up and then their little octobrains said OMG we’re totally clashing here, gimme a sec, and poof, perfect camouflage!

But topping even Padma’s ‘Pussies is the mighty, roaring tsunami of tentacles that Stiletto Girl posted for me over on her blog. Click and marvel at this amazing roundup; in true SG style, every single one of the octopi is completely starkers. Nekkid as the day it was borned! VVNSFAquarium! You’ve been warned!

pic o’ the day: the Kraken wakes!

And, like most of us, he wakes up hungry! Hat tip to Master Cowfish for this loverly image. You gotta know this is a great book. Why, the characters just jump off the page…well, crawl, with a soft, heavy squelching sound…

The. Kraken. Wakes. And hoo boy, does it ever want its coffee
