One of the key defining factors to my design approach is androgyny. My approach to androgyny isn't about wearing what is conventionally donned by the opposite sex. My approach stems from significant reduction or elimination of aesthetic differences between genders via clothing.

Match 3 was a BIT dramatic. Which MAYBE we did on purpose!! Octopoteuthis was already winning, but then Vampyroteuthius, the Vampire "squid" was DISQUALIFIED! for not being a squid. Sorry bud, you gotta be a squid to win #BestSquid
