Despite me not really liking this current pairing, I have to say that Dora is looking absolutely delicious. 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*

They both just look like they are trying a bit too hard to please each other. Trap for young players.

There's a bar where silly outfits are considered very appropriate, especially for defusing any awkwardness they may now be feeling...

As for where they planned to go, though... who knows. Maybe they hadn't planned anything specific yet, and so had different places in mind.

Good lord. You used "defuse" correctly. You didn't say "diffuse". You are the only person left in the world who gets this right.  I swoon. Let me bear your children.

Dora has asked Mieville for fashion advice: maybe this time she listened and that's why the results were so bad.

My guess is they're just beginning to feel their way around with each other.  After all, Dora hasn't been in this kind of relationship in a while and she still (I think) has some hangover issues after the end of her relationship with Marten - along with her other issues and Tai is, I think, beginning to realise that this relationship is totally different than her previous ones and that Dora is a totally different class of lady than the others she has been with.  I think it's kinda cute actually.

But see, Hanners's dress is at least moderately fashionable - it's a light summer dress, and really, the design isn't bad at all, and is something that really doesn't go out of style. Tai's, on the other hand... that's something in a cut and color that I wouldn't be surprised to see my 84-year-old grandmother wear.

For some reason I think if Dora was wearing heeled boots, her outfit would work a lot better. Tai's dress just looks wrong for her to me. It might work on another person. Outfit swap, maybe?  :-P

Although I know bugger all about fashion. I just thought they were "trying too hard" as someone said so I got the fun without the complete, "The hell they wearing?" feeling.

Normally, i am not very sassy when it comes to clothing choice,  but...
Tai needs not only a refund, but a lawsuit for wherever she bought that horrid puce dress from. I mean jeez, that has to be the most unsettling outfit i have seen in this comic. The only time i think a dress like that would be appropriate is if you had oppressive parents/grandparents visiting.  It might look better in a different color, but that one is, just unsettling and horridly date-innappropriate.

Veering away from the fascion debate, I notice that we at last have some proof that the house party was indeed at Tai's place. I wonder if Dora was reminded of the last time she approached that veranda.

I have to agree that they both look like they're trying too hard, but I think things could have worked if they made minor changes-

Dora: take off the tights and add a sleeve.
Tai- shorten the hem and unbutton a few buttons. A different color wouldn't hurt either.


Granted, Tai definitely looks the most out of character. Makes me wonder what reasoning she had for getting extra girlied up if obviously Dora is into her when she's wearing plaid and cutoffs. IMO, we're used to a little bit of gothi-ness from Dora, she just ODed a bit today.

The police have been informed of the discovery of a body near the Coffee of Doom. The body was believed to be a local goth, although it is uncertain because their clothes were stolen. The cops have said they'll investigate as soon as they finish the slab of beer in the backseat.

Dora left her goth phase behind her long ago, so it seems a bit bizarre to me that she'd get all gothed up for her date with Tai. Did Tai even know her when she was still Spooky Pants?

I'm in agreeance with the idea that they're both trying too hard, but I don't understand the choice of clothes that either of them has made.

Maybe the logic was that Dora has not-so-good luck with the gentlemen, so Tai wanted to girl it up as much as possible?

*grasps at straws*

....either way, I'm glad they both saw the silliness in what they were doing.
