Robbo sez, "James Lillis, a designer with Black Milk Clothing, has come up with a freaky-awesome set of muscle leggings which allow you to celebrate the human anatomy without getting all Gray's Anatomy and actually flaying yourself. I think they are remarkably delicious."

In a kind of Hellraiser/Slim Goodbody way.

Muscles Leggings (Thanks, Robbo!)

I write books. My latest is a YA science fiction novel called Homeland (it's the sequel to Little Brother). More books: Rapture of the Nerds (a novel, with Charlie Stross); With a Little Help (short stories); and The Great Big Beautiful Tomorrow (novella and nonfic). I speak all over the place and I tweet and tumble, too.

    If you could get a whole body suit and mask, you could go as Warren Meers for Halloween. Even better if you can get your girlfriend to come along and act like a robot.

    Glad you dropped the Slim Goodbody reference so I didn’t have to.  Oh, wait…

       Exactly. Those were popular in Nutra City like 20 years ago.

    Cycling fans may remember the muscle skinsuit worn by Mario Cipollini at le Tour in the late 90′s

      Saeco’s ad department: You know what would look great for our brand? A flayed human being with a giant occipital bun!

        Cipollini was famous for extravagant clothing, especially racing uniforms, sporting custom-made skin suits. Some of his memorable kits include a muscle suit, zebra, and tiger prints, and a techno-skinsuit inspired by the 1982 film Tron. He was fined for wearing an all-yellow outfit while leading the Tour de France.
        (from wikipedia)
        Ironically, the latter is now standard practice for all leaders in all grand tours.

    David Byrne had a similar idea once:

    Yes, yes there IS something weirdly asymmetrical going on in the groin region of those tights.  It should show where the adductors longi meet rectus abdominis, in a confluence of vaginal glory.

  • hypersomniac

    I don’t usually fap to boing boing, but with this and Sonia Sotomayor that may change. I kid.

    I gotta give props to Felicia Day for posting that link on her FB page.

    And if I ever wore anything like that it would look like the display counter at my local butcher.

  • Dicrel Seijin

    I’m reminded of a white T-shirt with massive blood splatter on its right side and the slogan “I’m fine.” across the front. It might go well with those leggings.

    It looks somehow slimming

    • MetalPorkchop

      They look slimming, because she’s skinny.

      They just cut the fat right off.

    Looks good enough to eat.

    Don’t all skin-tight leggings “celebrate the human anatomy”?
