On the one hand that reminds me of the ridiculous Me-Ha monsters in The Sixth Continent, on the other of erotic paintings of famous Renaissance and Baroque artists (disguised under the cover of mythology).

Is that the Reclining Squid Venus by Tentaclian? Or the Venus Octopoda by Peter Paul Poulpe?

Or lounging pants (when one has no intention of needing sweat  pants).   :)

Sew what? I bet the fabric is cheaper, and suspect you may know how to make such things. ;)
