      i wouldn’t mind seeing one or the other but personally i think the one on the left would fit carla’s skater style more, if not like an ‘overall’ dress

      (i vaguely remember overall dresses being a trend but thoguht it was odd at the time since i only associated it with like first grade and/or farmers but in rerospect that kinda dress could be cute/comfy)

    Please tell me this leads to one of those wacky makeover montages where Carla steps out of a dressing room wearing various eccentric outfits, and Booster either shakes their head in dismay or gives an enthusiastic thumbs up.

    While a quirky 80s pop song plays, of course. Look, I’ve got one picked out for them!

      but an over-dressed kinda dress/super fancy/prom-like and sparkly might get charlies attention more XD

            oh aha well i wouldn’t know BUT if anyone’s doing biomimetic fashion, jellyfish is a treasure trove. they’re incredibly diverse, they have translucent parts, puffy parts, all sorts of colours, iridescence, bioluminescence, threads, frills, beads, lacework, not to mention venom which i honestly think goes with everything.

          Did you not Google?!! A lot of the hits are anime, of those remaining, many are a bit bridal – but some of them are GORGEOUS…

          https://www.lolitaknot.com/Lady-Miao-Princess-Jellyfish-Fantastic-Pricess-Lolita-JSK-and-OP-Dress-p591055.html This one comes in pink, sky blue, mint or black, is RIDICULOUSLY OTT and gorgeous… Totally not Carla’s typical style but a statuesque woman like her dripping in frothing aqua asymmetric chiffon and lace, possibly accessorising with some simple pearls rather than the optional bubble hat, would attract a lot of attention.

          The only problem is I’m not sure Carla would be entirely comfortable with that type of attention. She’s very much an “I’m an awesome, amazing genius inventor, and do my own thing, and I just happen to be a girl. I know, I’m stunning. You can admire me best at a distance. Run along now” type. Having people notice her looks first, even if it’s very much in a positive attention way, might make her want to climb out of her own skin a bit.

      has carla never worn dresses before? or is it not common as ‘casual’ wear in indiana even for sundresses? even if i didn’t gain weight i don’t think i’d rly go back to wearing jeans that often compared to how comfy/flowy dresses are (like societal standards/masuclinity asidei ‘m surprised more men don’t wear skirts/kilts as well)

      they’re not ever emphasized but they’re just implied to be there i guess? other than some ‘natural’ makeup i guess most don’t rly stick out. tho i suppose mascara might make some ‘spider leg’ eyes too bold/flashy if you do a western style makeup versus asian

      tho, i suppose, otehr than the brief comment about boosters lipstick, and that one time jennifer wore it on a date with ruth, most charas are’t shown to have makeup on

      Plot twist: Charlie is a believer in solipsism. Herself is the only thing she thinks DOES exist.

      Weirdly, that kind of makes her a good match for Carla, who does believe other people exist, but only for her own amusement.

      “If you, a woman, are trying to get someone’s attention, a pretty dress might be a good way to do it” is reasonable, particularly if the woman in question has already brought up dresses. People don’t have to be constantly GNC all the time- nothing wrong with doing and liking things traditionally associated with your gender.

          Fun fact: the Skin Horse character was named after L. Frank Baum’s original Oz character, protagonist of The Marvelous Land of Oz! She wasn’t exactly a cross-dresser, but “he” was a boy who was revealed to actually be a magically-transformed princess who lost her memory, so these days she’s frequently celebrated as an unintentional trans icon.

      Worst: In high school, a girl came up to me with a picture she’d drawn of me and asked if I wanted to go out. I’d literally never seen her before in my life, so of course I said “Sure”. Bad idea. A couple weeks was all I could take of that.

      Best: I winked at a cute girl on the bus and we passed notes for a while. Then I dropped out and a few years later she recognised me on Facebook. Our tenth anniversary was in June.

      The closest thing I have to an answer is that there was one occasion when a girl at college initiated a conversation about the book I was reading. I couldn’t help noticing this conversation was awkward even by my standards, and ended up actually apologising for how bad my conversational abilities are, at which point she said “Oh, okay,” and left, seeming somewhat confused. I dimly realised she’d thought I was saying I didn’t want a conversation, which was a shame, but not a huge deal, and went back to my book.

      About a week later, I suddenly thought “Was … was I being chatted up and didn’t even notice? Nah, probably not. But maybe?”

      Worst: dude I barely knew wrote me a note and asked me to read it later, the note was all about how he was ‘ready to settle down’ and how he knew I was a virgin so he would ‘take it slow’. This is keeping in mind that this was high school, and all of my experiences with this guy were ‘we sat together with our friends to eat lunch’. I told him no and he thankfully backed off.

      Best: dude in college told me he had a buy one/get one free doughnut coupon and I agreed to go with him and get a free doughnut. It was the best cause I went with him, but also not effective because my ace ass didn’t realize it was a pick up and just thought we were becoming friends/getting food LOL we kept hanging out together too and I kept thinking it was platonic until he laid his arm across my shoulders on the shuttle bus… then I was like “oh…”

      worst: on my 30th birthday i went to go clean my car in 100-degree weather. The right turn out of the car wash is infamously a nightmare, so i decided i’d take a left turn and just goof around until i found the road that went parallel. Went through some neighborhoods unsuccessfully and some guy driving towards me got REALLY excited.

      I was like, are you one of my students? Do I know you from somewhere? So I stopped and let him back up to me. Turns out, no, he saw me at the car wash and thought I was cute. I wanted to die. I said that was weird and drove off.

      Not my most flattering interaction, but, uh. I died inside for a good couple of hours afterwards.

      Best: My friend asked me if I’d like to go see a movie with him, as a date. I said yes. Then I picked up my cat and scurried off into the house. We had our tenth total anniversary in Sept, and our third year anniversary for marriage will be in Dec.

      I was once sitting at a table under the temporarily abandoned campus kfc, pretty out of the way from the walking path, contemplating the fact that I suddenly had waaaay less money in my bank account than I thought I did, when I guy came up to me. He said “I like your face. It’s very symmetrical.” I said thanks uncomfortably. He asked my name. I gave him a fake one. He asked if I had a man, through a very thick Trini accent so I thought he was asking for a mint, which made the whole thing even more awkward. I said yes. He said “oh” and left.

      I’ve been hit on a lot, harassed a lot, but that was the single weirdest interaction of the sort I’ve ever had

        Best, less a pick up strategy but my best friend and I got kinda flirty after I got out of a really bad relationship. He’d never confessed to the other person in his previous relationships, just sorta went with it when they came to him (later realized he’s demi-ro). So he kept joking that he’d confess to me in 5 years or something like that. The time kept getting shorter, until he said “I’ll confess to you next week”. We have a 6-7 hour time difference between us and it was around 11ish my time, on a Saturday. so I told him “hey, it’s Sunday for you. It’s already next week.” And he said “oh, okay. Well then, zee i love you.”
        Our 4th anniversary is next May

      I haven’t visualized Carla’s yet. The impression I get for Booster’s is it’s balancing the line between ironically bad and stylish. Like “oops waited too long to rent a tux before formal and this is all they had left” pink with should-be-terrible shirt, but it’s cut very well.

    Then again, Carla has the vibes of a mini dress…

    Carla walks down the dorm hall in said outfit. The other residents doubt the evidence from their own senses. The campus therapists suddenly find themselves overbooked. In the distance, sirens.

    Yes, Carla, so close to human interaction!
    it is generally nicer to be flirted at by looks, interactions, and getting to know the person you want to spend time with, as opposed to getting expensive gifts. I’d be creeped out if i got an expensive gift from someone i don’t even really know. It would indeed feel transactional, as if i now owe them a date.

    • Taffy

      October 20, 2023 at 11:43 am | #

      I might go on the date if the gift was sufficiently awesome, like a stack of TPBs I’d been eyeballing or a perfectly fitting Magna Defender costume with all the accessories. One date, to see if I liked the person enough for another, and I’d be very up front about that part. I’d also be very up front about the fact I’m keeping the gift no matter what the outcome, so I hope they’re willing to take that gamble and be on their best behavior. (Honestly though, the costume would probably earn them at least a proper shagging, brains-out style.)

        As long as you’re up-front and self-confident and make it clear to them that they are not entitled to anything you don’t freely give, that does sound healthy!

        If someone gets you such a custom gift, regardless of the price, it might be an indication that they actually know your tastes and care about you (assuming they’re not an evil manipulating butthole), so yeah, I might be inclined to give them a chance too
