Today, we invited Kittyhawk of Valkyrie Yuuki over to play dress-up with the sexy girls. Annoyed by what the mainstream comic publishers consider sexy these days (especially with the new and “improved” Carol Danvers), we launch into a tirade about how hot chicks in fiction ought to look…at least from our perspective. This is mostly a superhero topic, so expect a lot of talk about tight-fitting clothing.Topics covered:
Footwear: Flats vs. Heels
Sleeves or no sleeves
The French cut
Cloaks: It’s all about what’s underneath
Athletic costumes versus underwear
Sporty chicks are hot
Snaps, buckles, and zippers: How much is too much?
Using nanotech to explain why the clothes don’t just fall off
Neil and Kittyhawk make some not-so-subtle references to their own comics
And finally…LEOTARDS!!! (Yes, I’m that lame.)
Discussed in the show - The many costumes of Jean Gray
The SUPERIOR Star Sapphire costume, without the crappy Witchblade shit all over her
Ed Benes' Fairchild
Jennie Breeden's boots - Proof that girls can look awesome without heels. Seriously, knock it off with the heels! Nobody fights in pumps.
