Did you find Heidi Klum's Halloween costume hot? Then these muscle leggings are right up your alley.
If I answer "no" to your first question, do I have to click on the second link? I don't want to break any rules.

The manufacturer, Black Milk, also made the nerdgasmic R2 swimsuit, now completely expunged from their website. Perhaps Lucas sent a C&D order.
Or bought all of them.

Fizz: "A new fetish is created on this date."
Not that there's a resource that we can check in for the accepted start date for a fetish like we can use the OED to check on words' etymological background, but I've got a theory that goes beyond Rule Thirty Whatever that says if you can imagine something exists with current technology, somebody has already gotten off to it, meaning the only thing that hasn't been arousing is something that has yet to be created. I'm sure I could do research to back me up on this particular example, but if you think I'm going to Google "human filet muscle anatomy drawing fetish" to prove it, you've got me confused with somebody with a much stronger constitution.
On a related for-every-freak-flag-there-is-a-freak, the R2D2 swimsuit is pretty ridiculous, but if I saw the right guy in a nice male square cut version, from my perspective, the Force would be strong in him. If you know what I mean. And unfortunately for us all, I think you do.

Thank you Bookhouse. That's the kind of research I was looking for.
On preview, due to an actual in real life laugh out loud on my part, my partner also suggested the judges might accept Dennis Cooper but only if the leggings come in men's sizes (only small or medium required.)

Possibly true, but it's not really her A-game . . . it's the A-game of support staff.
If I had a krabjillion dollars and people who would be deeply honored to make costumes for me for Halloween, as well as the top makeup people in the industry at my beck-and-call, you can bet your ass my costume would be SWEET every year.

Oh I forgot linking BodyWorlds, Gunter's world touring exhibitions
Remember kids, there are real human beings being exposed! It's not a fiction wrapped in a fiction, it's real. And it's stunningly beautiful, delicate, elegant as an human body can be in its complexity. It's entirely a different thing from bodypainting, which is cute, but hey, that's real!

Heidi Klum reallly goes all out on Halloween, year after year. No shitty "sexy cop" or whatever for her. I suppose that's what the other 364 days are for. But her costumes are generally very impressive.

I want of these based on a CT scan of my legs.
I would use them while riding. Next time a 20 year old cyclist passes me going faster on an uphill than I go on the flats, I can point to my knees and say "try doing that with all this scar tissue and torn muscle fibers".
I also want a hat based on my btain scan, to wear to code reviews. Try writting good code with all this drug damage, Mr. Big Shot.
