Blue Steel: Otis

Woody, Paris (now deceased) and I remember Mr O well.
We moved into Jo's flat - below Morgan and Otis - when Jo swanned off to London.
The 'man-cat' never showed the old lady cat any respect. As you can see in these pics a flimsy piece of glass was all there was between Paris and Blue Steel.
As for us humans, Otis was the only cat who left a full five-claw scratch - from elbow to wrist - as his calling card.
See you Morgan, travel well.

Blue Steel

Derek Zoolander: "I'm pretty sure there's a lot more to life than being really, really good looking. And I plan on finding out what that is."
"Blue Steel" is the name of a male model pose in Zoolander. The film's protagonist Derek Zoolander invented the pose and he protects it as a trade secret (it is supposedly patented). It is his claim to fame, along with his "Spiky Black Hair". The style of the pose is identical to all his other named poses, (which include "Le Tigre" and "Ferrari"), except for "Magnum", in which he turns left, a feat he has been unable to do all his life (although he is seen turning left once in the movie) as he is not an "ambiturner." This contributes to the running joke that despite his reputation as a male model, Zoolander knows only one pose. Wikipedia
