I suppose it was really just a matter of time before Aloysius went all Herbert West on us.

Do you know what pops up when you first Google image search “erotic matrix?” This image:

Lily Kwan of the Naked News. On some skeezy porn site? No. On Wikimedia Commons.

Great Wrigglin’ Cthulhu I love the Internet.

Even worse than you thought at first, Tricia.

Tricia gets bad news while floating naked in a virtual ocean.

What the heck…another oceanic image — this time one I find appealingly weird.

Tricia is still embodied, if only in her own mind.

This “floating” effect makes for one of my favorite visual tropes. If you look over at the new image site in the Erotic Mad Science network called hedonix.org you will find a tag devoted to it — oceanic. Here is a favorite example:

Ever experienced something that you thought was had to be a nightmare, but was in fact real?

Kitty’s lamentable condition has perhaps been in the back of my mind since I had the pleasure of perusing a book by Jane and Michael Stern called The Encyclopedia of Bad Taste, which, perhaps predictably, has an article on “Enormous Breasts.” Said article devotes an entire page to a photograph of Chesty Morgan, an exotic dancer and star of such movies as Deadly Weapons (1974) and Double Agent 73. Here’s an alternative representation of Chesty.

Image found at Insomnia Notebook. As we can see Kitty has surpassed even Chesty.

A real crisis, indeed.

Tricia has almost dissolved away, while Kitty is now half boobage.

What, you thought liquid girl was all fun and orgasms? Without proper controls, it’s a nasty, squicky mess.

Things burst out of control.

Kitty's huge, expanding breasts burst the bounds of her sweater.

Expanding breast imagery of this sort is almost embarrassingly easy to find. (I wonder why.)

That particular ripe look into the Adolescent Male Mind comes courtesy of the tumblr PGs Ramblings of Weirdness.

And now things take a turn for the nasty.

A scream, and Tricia is found dissolving in the shower!

Oh dear, trouble. And trouble of a familiar kind if you haunt mad science enough.

If Kitty were more interested in the mad-science development of her muscles rather than her…well, you know, she could be the next Joan Rhodes overnight and make an interesting tearing telephone books in half, among other things.
