Mr_Rose:
I think something about today's page really tweaked the "contrast" dial in my free association matrix: For some reason, I am reminded of that moment in Queen of Wands when Shannon and Kestrel catch Felix on his way out in drag then, after hasty explanations regarding a total lack of threat to their relationship, the next time we see Felix in drag, Shannon's in drag too, wearing a top hat and tails of all things, and they are going out to paint the town a very confusing shade of red for "teh lulz" as I understand the kids call it these days…
Anyway, that connection spawned the idea that they could totally go out as they are and really play up the "demure doll" and "goth harpy" acts to the max for a laugh, if only their relationship wasn't so new and tentative.

Would have gone with a black skirt though. In Tai's case? She must have gotten dressed in the dark because that dress is hideous. It looks like a cross between a long john top and some art student's quilt project. *barf*

I don't dig the pairing either. Just seems off and entirely too strange and just because of the girl/girl luvin' (I mean, who doesn't love that other than weird people?). But that discussion has been done to bits.
But yea. Dora does look absolutely delicious. Pulls off the smokin' Goth quite well.
And Tai. My god. That grammy dress really is absolutely hideous. Like why do you own it take it outside and BURN IT hideous.
DSL:
They're each trying for what they think the other wants.
(click to show/hide)THAT'S THE JOKE.

This makes me sad, dammit! They were such a hilarious couple for awhile that strip was/is my favorite of their time together. :cry:
And flames aren't a tramp stamp. Tramp stamps are those stupid tribal looking things.
Man this start to the relationship is hella awkward. Like high school level awkward. Fast, furious, and like an exploding sun.
Mr_Rose:
Well… there isn't really a fixed definition of a "tramp stamp" but they are consistently depicted as much smaller than Dora's fire lake, and generally conform to an inverted triangular outline, centred over and pointing down between the buttocks, though block text in an arc above the same location is sometimes also considered a tramp stamp, especially if the text says "tramp"…
Equally there is no defined artistic style for the devices, so while simplistic patterns aping the styles of various aboriginal cultures' initiation tattoos are common they are not definitive, as pictorial depictions of such subjects as flora and Lepidoptera are equally frequent.
