Two things: a delicious back, and a dress I want.

Not only do I want this dress, I will get it. Where will I wear it? To be determined. I love the way it hugs the figure, which is the way I like to dress. It doesn't have to be a knit dress, like this one, but I see the sensuality of the knit dress, how it stretches, supports and also gives... I like the idea of being in a room, a social context, with the crack of my ass showing. I do have a dress somewhat like this, but it doesn't scoop as loose. It is a little more discreet. Well I want something less discreet. Maybe first I will wear it with an occasion with just some girlfriends. We like occasionally to wear outrageous things, and so we create occasions to do so.

What do you think?

Jelly-ve it or not, the lion’s mane jellyfish (Cyanea capillata) is one of the world’s longest animals. This jumbo-sized jelly trails a “mane” of more than 800 stinging tentacles that are covered in cells with venom that stun prey, including other jellyfish, small crustaceans, and zooplankton. Just how long is the lion’s mane jellyfish? Well, its tentacles can grow more than 100 feet (30 meters) long! In fact, the longest examples of this species—which inhabit the Arctic Ocean—are even longer than the longest known blue whale. Come see a life-size model of one at the Museum’s Hall of Biodiversity!
