As the days progressed we were plagued with horrible weather and humidity - as the "OTTOPUS" we were making was mostly paper mache, NOTHING EVER DRIED - so everything took twice as long!
At one point we thought it would be smart to use porn mags rather than newspaper to cover our creature and called it the Octoporn - but we thought better of that - more so because newspaper is cheaper and the pages stick to each other better than glossy porn pages do - at least when you are using wheat-paste that is.
The OTTOPUS Odyssey continues below!
Stay tuned for the completed OTTOPUS and costume updates Saturday at the Mermaid Parade!
