      Know how Superman always has to keep his glasses on public, because if he takes them off someone might recognize him? Amber can never have amazing sex, because then her post-coital hair would reveal her identity.

      Luckily she’s dating Danny.

        Just the one S-curl, though. That’s the whole disguise, not the glasses. Curl up, glasses off: “Did you get contacts, Clark?” Curl down, glasses on: “Hey, look everyone! It’s Hipster Superman!”

          Yeah, this is Danny we’re talking about. He never actually figured out that the two girls that he was spending all of his waking hours with were one and the same, despite plentiful hints. He only knows because the answer literally fell into his lap.

          He’ll probably figure out that Ethan is gay the same way: look down at his lap, and, whoa, there’s Ethan!

      The thing is, Amber and Amazi-Girl look alike (being the same person and all), so if she wore her hair like Amazi-Girl, it would be a lot harder to claim not to be the same person to anyone who got any kind of look at her.

    If you have a secret identity that let you do stuff you normally can’t allow yourself you limit yourself and prevent you from actually crossing those borders yourself. WHO COULD HAVE GUESSED?

    So, I wonder what else Amaziegirl has denied Amber. I would have guessed relationship and/or sex – but for once Dannie has Dannied thingst just right and helped her cross that border.

          Without having read the slipshine I suppose the question I should ask is – was “without mask” ever an option?

          Or even more to the point – does Amber in fact have a relationship with Danny or is it just Amazigirl?

              But there are these persistent hints that Amber and Amaziegirl have different kinds of relationship with Danny, and I don’t think anyone told him.

              For example:

          Danny has already openly established himself to several people as Amazi-girl’s boyfriend, and as a result, he can’t be Amber’s boyfriend openly without raising suspicions. Sure, -they- both know that Amber and AG are the same person, but Danny’s boasting (if you want to call it that) means no public displays of affection for Amber.

    I’m with the “WTF is Amber on about” contingent. Amber’s hair is WAY better. Amber has a particularly round face, and as such a hairstyle which frames it suits her especially well, and her current hairstyle basically does that perfectly.

    The Amazi-Girl hair isn’t BAD, mind you, but the Amber hair does it better. I can certainly understand why Amber would be annoyed that she couldn’t use that hairstyle if she wanted to, but I can’t fathom why she would actually want to.

    Do you think the reason Danny likes Amazi-Girl’s hair better is because he associates it with Amber’s superheroine side, which feeds into his “dating a superheroine” fantasy?

    Also, is this a foreshadowing to a future hairstyle change for Amber? If so, I look forward to it. 😀
