Just happened to see a show on the spider silk producing goats.

But women wearing yoga pants made from hagfish slim, sounds like a win to me.

1. Like I always say: you never know what science is going to discover next coming out of left field.

2. 'Invaginations'?

^I'm with Keanu there.

Pretty interesting. The spider silk experimentation seemed mostly about making high tensile fibers and tech weaves, not for everyday clothing.

I like the potential here. You may proceed with development.

Also, if someone will wear clothing made out of slime, she/he will be down for almost anything.

Should say anything is possible, for the future.

heeeel yeah, its bout goddamn time. I was wondering when we were going to start developing proper clothing for all those young ladies out there in the world. They have been suffering long enough. Restrained only to using fabric to make yo selves look like whores. Well now you have your answer for how you're going to out nipple the other girl. Marry a fisherman and have him bring you home a Hagfish. Hang that baby in your bathroom. There ya go...,anytime you need to get dressed,, just punch that fish in the belly until it pukes slime all over you.

Well, I would think that they'd be able to dye it to make it opaque.

I guess we are onto something:

"Hagfish slime: the new Lycra?"
