why I feel that somehow all of this comes to help Sandra instead of hurting her?

...um... does Sandra realize what "I want details" sounds like?

Sandra is a nice person and not stupid, but I'm not sure she's ever been shown to be terribly bright either. :p

That said, I feel like this is more likely to bite Lavali in the butt more than Sandra.

Lavali is now an unwitting Manchurian agent?

She is indeed a wonderful artist who could doubtless turn her hand to anything, but from what I've seen, I don't get the feeling that she's very interested in depicting some of those bits in all their wrinkly Lovecraftian glory.

Why should she be suspicious? Lavali is a friend with no interest in becoming a model so she knows she's not a potential rival. And Sandra needs someone she can complain to about all the demands of her job and Lavali has all the motivation to listen.

This may not be all that helpful to Eva since this reminds me of the time from Magick Chicks when Faith asked Jacqui for information about her friends and was subjected to endless amounts of boring gossip.

I think that Sandra maybe needs to learn that, once you become any sort of celeb, if someone in the room has a reporter's notepad and a pen (or a voice recorder, or, well, anything with audio recording capability) out, you don't say anything. Possibly not even "Hello".

Anyone want to fill in the obscured bits of text in panel 4? We do gather that Sandra is probably not very worried about nudity now, but is clueless about brand management...

Oh, and hey, we've sneaked up on strip #299. So we can probably expect some kind of echo next time.

I think SFM is talknig about Sandra's dialogue in volume 2 saying "I want details" and... I dunno what SFM is talking about in that context other than me thinking that it sounds like, "I want the tails"? I dunno...

I mean, I though girlfriends always say "I want details" or "Gimme the deets" when they wanna know what happened on their friends' dates...

Just out of sheer nosiness, Eisu, does a full version of the background text in panel 4 exist, or did Dave just give you the fragments we can see?

8 O Sandra will end up on the rocks (of humiliation) if she keeps talking on and on like this. :(

There is actually a full version but I don't know if I can post it here or not... I'll ask Dave... cos the obscured text is really the comedy behind this strip ^o^

True. I wouldn't want to spoil a gag. I guess I was just curious about the creative process there.

Just got the go-ahead, here ya go:

"So anyways, I think Domenico wants me to do nudes for a piece he's putting together. Zoé fights with him about it, something about "protecting my brand," whatever that means. Not to mention Tatiana flips out slightly whenever he brings it up. I'm starting to see more of Zoé's business. She has her fingers in a lot of pots. I think she wants Marie to join her model agency after she graduates. I guess that's up to Marie, but when Zoé wants her way, Zoé gets her way. Can't blame her, tho': Marie is so young and yet so multitalented. That kid'll go far. So anyways, I accidentally sat on Tatiana's tablet again and..."

Thanks... That's actually more plot-relevant than I expected, as well as funny... The idea of Tatiana wigging out at the thought of Domenico seeing Sandra in the nude, and then Sandra sitting Yulia, repeatedly... May explain why Tatiana may not be reconciled with Sandra in the near future.

Must... Refrain... From... Suggesting... That... Domenico's project should be the postcards to go with the next print volume.
