This blocked felt cloche hat with felted blue ringed ocotpus, lovingly hand-crafted by millener and costumer Sophia Papaelias is absolutely amazing!

Today's TeeFury shirt, available for $12 today only:

ThinkGeek really gets me! I mean, generally true as a rule, but even more true today.

Sent by reader Chuck Rogers (whose book Heroes Road you should buy immediately), the cover of this month's Duluth Trading Company catalog is right up my alley:

Submitted by reader Joe Brinkman, what can I even say about this... thing?

This corset from DraculaClothing.com is nothing short of spectacular.

This is from Fashion Week 2011 in Moscow, Russia. Because, of course fashion.

Apparently it is sold out and no longer available, but this "Organic Octopus Rattle Baby Toy" makes a swell hat for babies!

I'm not usually a cufflinks kind of guy, but I could make an exception in this case:

Another great shirt, available over at Spreadshirt.com:

I absolutely love this shirt, available over at Threadless with artwork by Alan Maia. And yes, I am saving this link because if I don't get this shirt for Christmas I am definitely buying it immediately afterward.

I'm not saying that TeeFury made a shirt specifically for me,but...  today's TeeFury shirt is totally just for me!

Need some new leggings? How about some nice tentacle ones from World of Leggings?

I know it's a good day when a random octopus thing sails into my inbox from a random unexpected place. Here's a new design available on Threadless.com:

What's not to like about a lime green octopus hat with two-foot tentacles and glow-in-the-dark suckers? Available on Etsy.

Hey ladies, need a new purse? The Violet Vixen has you covered, for only $68:

i had kind of a rediculous night tonight. Perhaps the only thing that could have improved it would have been wearing this shirt instead of the generic Hawaiian shirt I had available.

Hey, ladies, summer is upon us! At least it is here in Central Florida where I live -- it is currenly in the 80's and sunny skies. You know what you definitely need to keep those harsh solar rays off of your skin? A parasol with a Kraken on it, available from TheVioletVixen.com for only $28.

The latest entry in my seemingly never-ending series about people with octopodes on their heads. Because, of course. 

Ladies, are you looking for the perfect cocktail dress? NewBreed Girls has got you covered with this swell Octo-Food Tentacle Cocktail Dress with chiffon overlay skirt, available on Etsy for only $52!

Eighth in my apparently neverending series about people wearing octopodes on their heads, here is a really cool ladies' wig extension created by CuriousCephalapods on Etsy.

It's Pi Day, so I'll make the exception for a cool shirt (available here), but no, the plural of octopus is not octopi.

On the one hand, I definitely need these shorts. On the other hand, there is no way on earth I would pay nearly eighty bucks US plus international shipping to get them. Ah, well.

It's one for the money, two for the show, three to get ready, now go cat go, but don't you mess with my Red Octopus Shoes! (Available on Etsy from seller SWilkinsArt.

Ladies, are you looking for the perfect thing to wear to your next red carpet event? Reader Julie Sardo recommends this lovely latext Ursula dress, available now on Etsy!

No matter how many times this talented young woman says, "You can do this", in my heart of hearts I know that she is wrong. I could never make a shirt this cool myself. Maybe one of my super talented artistic friends could do it.

Sadly, as of this writing they are out of stock. If it comes back in, I may order one for my wife.

For a mere forty bucks, you too could own this glorious octopus umbrella with tentacled  handle.

ME: Honey, how much would you expect to pay for a Ferragamo silk tie?

MY WIFE: Um... About $180?

ME: Huh. Well, I guess $165 for an octopus tie isn't as ridiculous as I thought...

(NOTE: I have no sense of style whatsoever, and am generally not allowed to pick out my own grown-up clothes)

You know what I love best about this costume (aside from it just being the cutest costume ever)? I've been staring at it for a while and I am still not positive which legs are the real ones.

I stumbled across these bedding sets the other day, and honestly can't pick a favorite. I'll show a couple here, but you need to go look at the Ink and Rags etsy store to see the whole collection. Every one is beautiful, and there are at least two dozen. The only possible solution is for me to open a small hotel and decorate each room with a differnet tentacled bedset. And then sleep in a different room every night.

Bonus non-octopodal content:  They also have an excellent collection of Autism Awareness shirts. Check it out.

And now, in honor of OCTOber Fourth, let us all sing the praises of PGA Tour golfer Billy Horschel. In 2013 in made his first appearance at the pro level in the U.S. Open, playing in these truly awesome blue octopus pants.

It is the first day of fall, and if you need to update your autumn octopodal attire then Hypebeast has you covered with their fall collection.

I'm just sayin', I would wear the @%#$ out of this hoodie:

Ditto for this spectacular t-shirt:

I'll pass on the rain poncho, though. I'm just sayin'.
