Re: 2014-05-13 Wardrobe Mix-up
Let us not concern ourselves here with the question of why Sandra didn't just put on the clothes Zoé swiped off Lavali.
I was going to query Marie's assumption that DMG promo clothing would include legwear, footwear, and underwear - but given her own choices in lingerie, I can at least see why she'd think that way.
It'll also be interesting to see exactly why Zoé's treatment of Lavali caused Sandra to raise her voice. Hopefully, it'll be on a point of moral principle, not just because Zoé stopped them getting some backstage footage. Also, given the clothes shortage ... Well, will we see Sandra proving that shehas now got the body confidence to be seen in public in skimpy lingerie?
Anyway, we'll also see how Zoé looks in that dress. (Imposing, obviously.)

I don't see any problem with going for promotional wear. I mean, all Sandra would really need is something to cover torso and legs. Underwear and shoes are very optional items of clothing, at least in the short-term which should be sufficient for her to get home.

That still implies that DMG would produce promotional trousers. Or shorts. Or skirts.
Or just long t-shirts, of course. But combine that with no underwear, and... Well, hopefully, Sandra has learned how to move smoothly by now.

All she needs is a really big T-shirt and I'm sure that would be easy enough to get.Spidrift wrote:Let us not concern ourselves here with the question of why Sandra didn't just put on the clothes Zoé swiped off Lavali.

As for Sandra's reaction I think it's out of a sense of working class sisterhood. She was a waitress and then Senna's assistant and we all know what it was like working for her. Lavali isn't all that different so she can sympathize since it's quite likely Senna did it to her once or twice.

Who says Sandra doesn't have underwear? It's Zoé who has no underwear. Sandra has her shorts and bra.Spidrift wrote:That still implies that DMG would produce promotional trousers. Or shorts. Or skirts.

I'm not sure that I can imagine Senna pinching Sandra's clothes. (By Senna's definition, anything Sandra wore would not be good enough for Senna.) But I take your general point.brasca wrote:As for Sandra's reaction I think it's out of a sense of working class sisterhood.

I thought she had the shorts and tank top she was sleeping in. But yes, good point; a baggy t-shirt, those shorts, and a bit of confidence should get Sandra home okay.Eisu wrote:Who says Sandra doesn't have underwear? It's Zoé who has no underwear. Sandra has her shorts and bra.

Well, she did wear that strapless bra, she can wear it again.
I'm suprised no one is pointing out that Zoé will be wearing a short dress while going full commando. Too bad this comic isn't Rated-R, eh? hah!

I thought that the bra was part of the outfit that Zoé is reclaiming. If so, it's amazing that it fitted Sandra, I admit. But I didn't think that it'd be part of Sandra's sleep outfit; does any woman outside of movies and TV actually sleep in a bra?
Anyway, I think that Zoé has us all too intimidated to comment on her underwear situation. Plus, she's a veteran catwalk model, with years of experience at moving in unwise clothes without flashing the audience.

Re: 2014-05-13 Wardrobe Mix-up
It's a wonderful comic, when one can discuss underwear without looking like a pervert.
I think Sandra's reaction is all about disbelief and shock. And fear to lose her contract from DMG for having her manager mistreat a staff member. (I fear "mistreat" is a bit too strong, but "molest" don't have the same meaning in French and English).

"Mistreat" is about right in English, actually. ("Molest" carries heavy overtones of sexual abuse these days; don't use it unless that's definitely what you mean.)

Damn you, Eisu!
I am now wondering if, just a bit more more south, there's the equivalent of DiDi's Canadian beaver!

Marie loving the praise she got is so cute.
Sandra being mad/shocked at Zoe is not a surprise.

I'm more concerned about Lavali. She'd better not lose her job over this.
