She has quite a lot to say about it on her LJ, too.
I do wish A.J. Hall would put her diatribes behind cut-text, because they tend to overwhelm my screen.
No, no, no, sir. No more chick pit for you. Come on.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
But the art on the walls depicted bare-breasted women wearing puissant jewel tone saris and deeply tanned skin.
Raise your hand if 'ew'.

According to dictionary.com, puissant is "powerful, to be able." I always thought it had something to do with wisdom or ability, but hadn't actually looked it up.
I wonder how powerfully capable saris and tanned (human? animal?) skins look together.
Also, my little pet peeve: jewel toned, not jewel tone. They're not currently being toned. They've already been toned.
Oh, also, ewwwww.

"Mister Spock is on his fanny, sir. Reports heavy damage."
I am also thinking, those who are bare-breasted while wearing saris are wearing them wrong. Yes? Because there's that whole top part that, you know, covers the breasts. Anyway, all the saris I've seen worn.

Oh, I'd forgotten that. There's a little t-shirty thing they wear under them. I borrowed one once (a sari, with t-shirty thing). Maybe they didn't used to do that? She could be right about something, I suppose.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Depends on the sari. There are some that are dependent on a blouse to cover the boobies -- they're a skirt with a bit that goes loosely over the shoulder.

If I only had a brain...
Yes, but you wear a choli (Deena's little t-shirty thing) underneath.

Always Anti-fascist!
I think she means "sarong", yeah? If I were to keep a list of that kind of error, I'd be here till Friday.
