WTF? A dead octopus as a fashion accessory?
Ugh. The girl doesn’t need that.
I couldn’t decide if this pic is Photoshopped or not.
What do you think?
That is a good question. But looking at some of the shadows and the way the octopus is lying I would say it is almost certainly not photoshopped and is real.
Ooops, Sorry made a big mistake. Just had a quick count of how many tentacles there are and there appear to be way too many of them on her body.
I count 9 arms there and it is not a squid or cuttlefish.
So it appears to be PS’ed.
This seems to be the result of Japanese tentacle rape animes.
I vote for photoshoped. The octopus looks OK on her head, but looks fake around her breasts. The octopus does not hang right in my opinion.
That’s cause it “sticks” to the skin. I vote for real, having played with octopi before. Of course, after an evening dancing under the hot lights I don’t think this fashion maverick is going to smell quite so sweet!
You know what they say about suckers: there’s one born every minute.
The “laying on of hands”.
Looks like she’s going to a Detroit Red Wings hockey game!!!! W00T!!!!!
is she going to be in a remake of the James Bond film Octopussy?
On a side note, the shadows don’t look quite right- almost like the light is coming from her breasts… maybe it is a reflection, but I doubt it. Skin isn’t that luminescent, is it?
I’d have to say that the one on the head is real and the tentacles around her chest are fake….
They just don’t look that real to me. The tentacles not the boobs.
I vote for Photoshopped, but it’s quite a nice job. It could just be the compression, but as someone pointed out above, the shadows don’t look quite right down around the breasts. The tentacles very flat and almost 2D down there. And yes, I know they stick to skin, but in this picture, they just don’t look natural. Speaking of her skin, very rarely is skin that flawless, which makes me think it’s been touched up.
It is, at the very least, cleaned up in Photoshop and maybe given a slight effect, and more likely the octopus is completely added/blended from another photo.
The real question I have is does anyone find this picture erotic?
oops, …tentacles APPEAR very flat…
I think the real question is: are there ANY “real” pictures anymore. I don’t know of any photographers who do not photoshop EVERY photo they have, so I don’t think that’s a realistic response (ie. that he skin is “flawless”). The question is whether the squid is fake, not whether the photo has been enchanced.
I think there is an octopus on her head. But there is too much post processing in Photoshop. The tentacles over the beast are photoshopped in. They are on the same ‘layer’ in PS. A case where less would have been more.
I don’t see an octopus.
She is absolutely lovely, regardless of the fashion accessory.
The octopus puts me in mind of Richard Avedon’s famous photo shoot of Natasha Kinski with a boa constrictor (or python?) that was as big as she was. BTW, Kinski was ravishing, but has a cute little pooch to her tummy that would be considered chubby by today’s anorexic standards.

Surely, one of the most attractive WTF offerings. My thoughts are that the octopus is real, which qualifies the model as a true professional.
Ditto what frogman sez
Medusa’s original idea for a do was regarded as quite silly. Her hair just laid there and was not at all terrifying.
I’m mildly intrigued about the origins of this pic. It’s the sort of thing I’d only expect to come from Japan.
And I think the octopus is a real prop (but not a real octopus), and that the lower tentacles are probably added in Photoshop. Still, very lovely – albeit odd – photograph.
I’m amused at the false dichotomy in the previous comments: either it’s a real octopus or it’s Photoshopped? Come on people, photo-fakery is older than computers!
(By the way: octopodes. It’s a consonant-stem, not an o-stem like most ‘us’ words. Others include corpus, corpora and prius, priora, both of which happen to be neuter. Then there are the rarer u-stem nouns like hiatus whose plural merely lengthens the last vowel.)
Okay, the Octopus is real, the girl is a fake, and we still don’t have a comprehensive health care plan.
Sorry..I know it makes no sense, but I’ve been working in DC all day, and it sucks the creativity (along with morality and decency) right out of you. I’ll be better tomorrow. Promise.
Hey! I live and work in DC and…
…okay, yeah. I can’t really argue with you there.
I agree with Kaze. The octopus on her head is real but not a real octopus and the lower parts are ps’ed. They don’t lay correctly. It could be something to do with Pirates of the Caribbean. Maybe someone trying to do a bizzare fan pic?
Is there any chance that there is no octopussy, but an elaborate hair job/wig. That might explain the wrong looking tentacles observed by many.
Something beyond rastafare
No no no! I ordered Octopus and PRAWN!
It’s definitely ‘shopped.
Clues:
No shadowing of the tentacles where there should be, given the studio lighting;
The tents hanging off of the breasts leave no shadow, cause no “drag”, and the left-side (as viewed) tent is warped to make it appear as though it’s following the breast’s curve (look at it under high mag – Gads. I have *no* life…)
Lastly, this thing is sticking to the model, especially on her arms, yet there is no “slime”, no wet-skin shine (on either Ock or Cutie), nor any other mark on her skin to show what is causing such adhesion.
—OR—
It’s real and ‘shopped to death to make it look “uber-clean”.
My vote, and that of three professional photog friends: Fake.
My $0.02 worth. Don’t spend it all in one place.
