April 16, 2012 The flower represents the innocence of youth.
The stump, life's transience.
And the flaming tentacle hands cradling the noodle-limbed fetus broken in half?
Well, those are there just to freak you the f*** out.
;)
Mission accomplished, Erika K.
(Btw, pretty sure those baby legs are going to be tap-dancing their way into my nightmares tonight.)

Yep. Deeeeeeefinitely thought that lopsided was pubic hair at first. And then... really hairy hands, I guess?
If you turn your head to the right, you can tell that the cake was supposed to be a woman with one arm above her belly and one below; the flower on her neck. That would've made a lot more sense. How horrible was the mistake that alien jellyfish made it better?!
I'm thinking those weird tentacly brown poo-bursts are supposed to evoke the mother's hair, because I'm getting a Birth of Venus vibe from the arm placement. Of course, Botticelli didn't give us a Birth of PREGNANT Venus. Thanks for a glimpse into the Hieronymus Bosch-ish mindscape of the podcarrier...
Is this for a Pastafarian birth?
Ay yi yi, what IS that jelly-thumbprint-corn-flake flower on the end? I think her neck and breasts are to the right, so unless the baby is a breach, that's no hoo-hah, that's a corsage. Or a bullet wound.
what the crap?
This is really well done. And so weird I wonder what possessed them, with the fetus and the arm that appears to be severed at the hand, but executed very well.
I think the silver platter gives it a little extra...something. What that something is, I don't know. I'm disturbed.
I think I've figured this one out. It's a cutaway of Doctor HooHa's TARDIS.

Oh, great, more "The Fisherman's Wife's Dream" stuff. <Shudder>

No, Nuke 'em from orbit. It's the only way to be sure.
I don't mind the tentacle hands. The noodle limb fetus is abstract enough that I can deal... but my god, that flower- I could use that flower in medical slides. Looks like a textbook case of genital warts.
