Octopussy

It seems like some fevered dream, doesn’t it? A cheap ass Hobby Lobby Octotard, seamlessly integrated with Level 4 Cut Out Cat. If only such madness were possible.

But of course, it’s not.

OR IS IT?

Yes, three Octopussies have been created by the incomparable Cappy Sue, featured in the Regretsy book, and long admired for her… perspective.

Aren’t they stunning? You don’t even have to answer. The love in your eyes says it all.

These Octopussies are not sold in stores. There are only three, and they are only available right here, right now.

If you would like one of these stunning necklaces, send me your secret sealed bid by 6:00 PM tomorrow, PST.

The three highest bidders will each win one of these coveted octopotchkies, and the money will benefit our charitable fund. You will be helping Etsy sellers in need, and looking like a complete and total goon while doing so. You can’t ask for more than that.

Well you can, but you’re not getting it.

    I bid the amount that I can afford at the moment. Sadly, I don’t think I’ll win. But on the upside, at least we’ll know that three lucky people get to walk around with one of those charming little doo-dads! Rock on, Octopussy. Rock on.

    There is clearly no escape from the many arms of the octopus. I am either really disgusted or really impressed (it’s a fine line) with this ebay seller who has the balls to ask me to assemble my own necklace! http://cgi.ebay.com/Make-Your-Own-Octopus-Necklace-KIT-Antiqued-Brass-/270525807823?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item3efc983ccf#ht_4161wt_905 It doesn’t even include the jump rings and you have to cut the chain yourself! What a load if you ask me.
