on gender and costuming

[newspider]

Mun, what do you think you're doing? You have a hard enough time with the regular me, now all of a sudden you watch some olympics on tv and you get this idea to make me a girl? I mean, nothing wrong with that, of course I don't care being a girl or whatever, it's just...


...the spandex is bad enough without adding sparkles.

Sparkles? What the hell kind of vigilante wears sparkles?

[newspider]

No vigilante wants to wear sparkles, but all the pictures she's got of me are in super girly leotards. "Pretend they're not there," she says, "pretend it's your actual suit; the pose is more important than the clothes." But come on, they're pretty hard to ignore.

I'll say. [She's a helper.]

Could she, I don't know, make them all black or something? That's gotta be better than sparkles.

[newspider]

Yeah, she could. And she probably would if I wasn't just some random side project. She's just lazy.

[Busy.]

Pssht! She says busy, I say lazy. I mean geez! I fight bad guys and still go to school all day, she works at the Gap. Who do you think is busier?

[It's summer vacation for you.]

So what? Bad guys don't take summer vacations.
