Timelies all!
I'm kinda amused by the discussion of imagined future fashions, since G's current Netflix disk is U.F.O. which is very much in that style...purple wigs and all.
But she was naked! And all... articulate!

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
U.F.O. paid a lot of attention to fashion in the future. some of it pretty decent, some not so much.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Any chance that second locale is a gay bar?

Fox, CBS refuse condomless pig ad: [link]
In a written response to Trojan, though, Fox said that it had rejected the spot because, “Contraceptive advertising must stress health-related uses rather than the prevention of pregnancy.”

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

On a related note, I know someone who does consumer research for Church & Dwight (the parent company), and he had a hilarious story about doing a focus group for players -- men who "date" several times a week.

“We always find it funny that you can use sex to sell jewelry and cars, but you can’t use sex to sell condoms,”
How true, how true.
I didn't know but just learnt of the existence of condoms marketed towards women, which I think is a perfectly cromulent idea. Of course, not if it's as twee as the condom cases marketed towards women.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.
You guys, this is where procrastination gets you: waiting to fulfill your continuing education requirements until the last minute and taking the only class that fulfills your requirements:The Transfer of Development Rights Under NYC Zoning Law. At least I have my blackberry for the next three hours.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Then the silver jumpsuit.
Cool thing about the jumpsuit - you wear it at work with your fellow moonbase crew. Then when your shift ends, you remove the sleeves and legs (they zip on and off), put on a metallic skirt, and go on dates with your fellow moonbase crew.

Ah. Navy. All is made clear.
Bon, I must admit that I haven't read through the title of your class. I tried twice, but got distracted. Maybe later.
