    So she prefers D’mer over Bast? are we looking at the birth of a yaoi fanigirl? or she’ll sue Rieken for showing “adult material” to an innocent girl?

    Rieken and Liana are such great foils for each other. It’s always a toss-up which one of them is going to be the “mature” one in any given conversation.

    I love Liana’s expression in the last panel Boy, she’s so much a mini Jessica the way Jason’s a mini Aeren…

    Whee! All happy feelings today. Thanks for all the nice words!

    There is nothing funnier than the look of stern disapproval on the faces of children. Especially on a Disney girl face like Liana’s.

    I guess it’s even funnier that a girl with a Disney girl face is in a place like this.

    You can’t really see it, but he’s got a string thingy over his tights. It should be a tight, tight tighty tight ensemble with a sort of embroidered string thingy on top.

    I’ve seen people wearing the like, and it’s pretty awful. Kind of Borat, if you ask me. I imagine Rieken can get away with it, but no one else should.

    I just saw some pictures of Beyonce at Rio today. She’s wearing the usual Rio accoutrement, which is to say, not much. But she’s wearing tights underneath. Quite odd: naked Rio with control top.

    Oh, I have Absolutely Fabulous in my dvd player. I’m being called away.

    Lacroix! Lacroix!

    An after thought…. would Rieken actually be saying “Oh, god!” Seeing as how Seren is called “divinity” by Bast. Wouldn’t he be saying “Crystal!” or “Shards!”? Just wondering.

    Rio… control top. Hrm. It’s um, a look?

    Arlnee, I’m with you — I need to get AbFab on DVD, too. My oldest girlfriend keeps threatening to make us do Eddie and Patsy for Halloween one of these years. She’s thin, tall, and blond, and when I had a perm, I could do a passable Eddie. Also, we drink. Heavily.

    Scribbler: Rieken is fully aware he is not really a God.

    He is considered a conduit for the power and voice of the divinity. He is referred to as divinity, but is not a God himself. His people believe he is possessed by the spirit of the God.

    He expects to be treated like the divinity, but he knows his shit stinks.

    VT: Yeah, I am all for control tops, and Beyonce is gorgeous, but it just looked like she was wearing panty hose. With those little short control top things. And then her Carnival costume on top and you could see her panty hose. It was…a mistake. Alas, I can’t find the link I saw yesterday.

    It’s totally wrong of me to even notice, but I collect pics for reference, and she looked SO gorgeous in that costume. But those little pants with the tights! Geez.

    You know, I don’t mind the boyshort/pantyhose combination (hell, I certainly couldn’t pull that off). What bugs me about the costume is those shoulders! Auugh! They look like rejected pauldron designs from World of Warcraft.
