哭笑不得 (kūxiàobùdé) is not considered a chengyu. It is an expression that means "to not know whether to laugh or cry."

有种 (yǒuzhǒng) can be used to describe women, but it has a more negative connotation. Not like a compliment at all.

No, I should have thought to take pics though. I was too mesmerized by the needles, maybe. Maybe someone else has some they can post!
