Atrocious Fashion Week: Bea and Tora, plus Roy butt

[thebigapricot]

Dug into my long box for some fashion fun and Roy bum.

First some Roy, this is from the 1997 one shot Batman + Arsenal


Roy's my favorite, but Nightwing beats him butt-wise.

And now a two pages from 1988's JLI Annual number 2 where my third favorite female couple best friends*, Fire and Ice go to a modeling agency.

Bea looks okay, except for the necklace. But, my god, what is Tora wearing? Are those ankle socks? And note, they hadn't changed their names yet -- Bea is still "Green Flame" and Tora is "Ice Maiden"

Poor Bea. She should have worn a green trash bag to go with her hair. Couldn't have been worse than what Tora's wearing.

*in case you care, Dinah/Babs, Cass/Steph

I remember Roy's outfit being worse from the front. Weren't sunglasses involved?

[thebigapricot]

Nope, he's bare-faced and bare-headed.

Bea's forgetting that car ads tend to be more sexualized than ads aimed towards women, so in terms of "Who Is Sexier," she got the better deal.

Also, yay for Roy butt! It exists!

[foxhack]

I'm sorry.

I read "The Seventh Seal" and thought of Tora eating a Sealburger.

[weezus]

d'aww. I think Tora looks kinda cute....

And if my last temp job was any indicator, that look's actually on its way back.

[weezus]

zzzzactly!

[thebigapricot]

Wow, did you just do that? Barda does rock the bikini in that issue.

[weezus]

what, the picture? no that's not by me, i just happened to find it! wish i was that good though :P

[3goodtimes]

Oh I love Kisaru. She does such cute work.

[darklorelei]

Of all the hideous, hideous civvies worn in the JLI era, I think Bea's dress hardly rates.

[thebigapricot]

Oh I agree, Bea looks okay.

[darklorelei]

What this week sorely needs is some Ted Kord loves. They should really just retcon him to be colorblind or something, cause srsly.

[bluefall]

Actually I'd take Tora's drapey stuff over Bea's dress any day - I've always hated that artificial crinkle style, where the fabric is designed to wrinkle around the seams. Just looks messy and uncomfortable to me.

[darklorelei]

I wouldn't wear Bea's myself, I just don't think it's particularly out of style.

[thebigapricot]

If you're looking at comfort vs. style, Tora's is definitely the winner. It's like the dress equivalent of a snuggy or slanket. But the ankle socks I cannot forgive.

[jelly_ace]

Hey, Tora's looking good, as compared to her look when she and Guy went to the Icecapades.

But Bea's hair...ugh.

[auggie18]

Thank you. Bea had terrible hair for a while.

[bruinsfan]

It made sense though, must be hard to fight the frizzzies when you're constantly bursting into flame.

[retro_nouveau]

A spoonful of sugar (Roy) helps the medicine (Bea & Tora) go down. I actually hate Bea's hair (looks like shag astroturf) and Tora's hair (looks like Magneto's helmet) much more than what they're wearing.

*in case you care, Bea and Tora are my second ff couple, behind Pam and Harley.

[weezus]

Your icon! :D

[darkeyedresolve]

The power of Jem is strong in that outfit...or the Misfits anyway.

[kingrockwell]

Well, Tora's outfit is modest, which was always her schtick. A little weird still.
Bea's JLI days were not kind to her, especially her hair. God, that hair.

[halloweenjack]

Has Giffen or Maguire every said anything about her being their version of a Los Bros Hernandez character? Because I always got that impression off of her.

[halloweenjack]

I'm not really a weapons geek, but the sexiest thing about his outfit is that crossbow with a banana clip.
