settle down there, Kent Horton, Jr. ![]() that it's "meant to appeal to the reader in a sexual way" is your take. that's your baggage that you bring with yourself to the reading experience. another way to look at it is that it is teenagers, children really, doing what teenagers do. they want so badly to be seen as "grown-up" or "mature" that they do stupid things, dress in stupid ways, to make themselves look more grown-up than they are. they start piercing their ears, putting on makeup, wearing low-cut pants that show off their ass...and that's just teenage guys! God knows what teen girls are doing nowadays... the whole point of this issue's narration, which is told from said poor victimized, sexualized, fetishized Idie, is that she is a child. one who is being told what to do, taught how to think, one w ho is "learning" so much new stuff from her new teachers...yet realizes on her own that what she's being taught is wrong. that what she's being told is wrong. and that despite all she's learning, she has so much left to learn. the short, simple scene with the outfit goes right along with that. it's stupid kids doing stupid things, Kilgore because he thinks it's what grownups do, Idie because she thinks it will help her manipulate Kilgore. one of them's right, one of them's not. it's not meant to remind readers of Jean's "abusues" at the hands of Mastermind (such a they were...I tend to agree with Arion that those abusues were urely mental, as Wyngarde was a sniveling coward who was afraid to "wake the Phoenix" by actually touching jean in any way), any more than any issue featuring Selene is meant to do so. that's the Black Queen's outfit. it's just that here it's kids playing "dress-up" at being adults. Idie is in no way manipulated into putting it on, she isn't abused in any way...in fact after she willingly puts it on, she asks one question, then commences to beating the shit out of the bad guy who offered it to her. but then, you admit to not reading it, so I guess your completely erroneous assumption as to what's going on should be excused. lastly, "placing a 14 year old in that greater out-of-story context"? ![]() ![]() |

![]() ![]() To Superficticious: I've never read Lost Girls, BTW. But the Great One did manage to turn handjobbing a fishstick into Shakespearean tragedy, so anything's possible.. |

|

That was uncalled for. |

A chocodile fattie would put Jude in a total state of Nirvana. |
