Flounces for coelenterates? Squid bikinis?

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.

One of the arguments I generally make about Web 2.0 is that, if you are an organization who happens to screw up, you should apologize and move on. Don't try to cover your tracks or shut your critics up - you'll just invite mockery and even more attention than you did before.

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!

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.
