So she likes going around naked.
Edit: added the date
Matilda gains more cool points. |3
I was wondering what would cap the Furrae Fashion portion off. If there's one thing I've learned about girls, it's that Dan should jump at the chance for a girl like Matilda. Or run away. Running away honestly sounds better to me.
I don't know, Matilda is already an entreprenuer(I think thats how you spell it...), and she can breathe fire. Whats not to love? :)

Agreed. I still say Matilda has all the personality of an oak yacht.
Note for those who may be missing references: Oak Yacht is an anagram of Chakotay, whose wooden relationship with Seven of Nine ruined three other perfectly good relationships.
Voyeuristic girls freak me the **** out. To be fair, not because of the voyeurism itself, but because that kind of thing never comes without tiny text and hidden costs. I've concluded when you see the tiny text, it's usually best to be in a different area code.(and here in Colorado, area codes are HUGE! Mine covers at least 3 cities. I've only got to call long-distance if I'm calling a Denver number.)
Not to say that Matilda doesn't make a perfectly good friend. It's always good to have rich friends.

OK... I'll give you Chakotay and Seven, but I think Matilida and Dan make a nice couple. Besisdes Dan and Mab come across as more like eternal best friends with Mab having a crush on every third guy they meet.

Ah, well, that's probably because we haven't really seen all that much of Matilda, yes? She's been in two arcs and narrated Furrae Fashion, and never really said enough to actually get to know what she's like (or was just narrating), you know. Talked about what she was selling and hit on Dan, talked about lunches and cubi and Jyrras and hit on Dan, and narrated. Nothing we can really get to
her from.
It probably would be better if people realized Matilda is making a joke in the last panel, and isn't actually serious.

Well, we can be fairly assured that she at least has a rather outgoing personality. But I don't think that someone who is known to dance semi-naked on rooftops would have any problems with that...
Although, she does have the fairly noticible downside of not being an Amazon :U

Bah. There's nothing wrong with naturalists.
Except that deciding to become a naturalist may be a sign of some other problems.
Well considering that she IS naked, what's wrong about feeling naked?
As somebody who can be critical of characters, I think Matilda is a pretty good one. She is confident and flirtacious. Just because we havn't at one point seen her go emo over her problems like Jyrras or Dan or Abel or Merlitz doesn't mean she lacks depth =P

She probably represses her feeling's, and covers with humor, but inside she's crying...

I have a feeling Matilda probably has nightmares of I.H.O.P. :<

Hmm yes, fair, but my last girlfriend was
serious when she said stuff like that(I've yet to meet a girl who joked about it), and there was plenty of tiny text to go with the freebie, so you'll maybe excuse me by being thrown a bit off-balance by it all. I'd also like to submit that the joke was funny.

You don't need to be emo to have depth.
But what are her interests? Her hobbies? What do we know about her? She works at the fae link object store, she is friends with Bon, and she is familiar with JyCorp on a professional basis. Oh, and she thinks pancakes are evil.

Eh, not necessarily. Lots of matchmaking and set-ups from friends are practically blind dating. Then there are dating services, which probably even tell you less than what we know about Matilda. Then there's speed dating... all based off of, like, a five-minute discussion. There are so many ways commonly used for dates that tell you nothing about a person.

Well, Hahwru (http://www.missmab.com/Demo/were.php)'s a confirmed Amazon, and she's got bandages and flatness where her right breast should be. On the other hand, we've seen amazons with both twins intact, so maybe different tribes do things different ways.

There is something sinfull about a faux fur blanket straight from the dryer
What I ment to say Is I found it interesting that pheniox's modesty was centred around bare throats, but it does make sense if you think about birds and how they atract mates or what goes on in avian mating. I wonder if swan based mythos would feel that way about there feet.
And the fact that the insectus compleatly misunderstood the concept of clothing was fairly interesting as well since as a speices with an exoskeleton the Idea that you would need some sort of protective covering would seem so very alien.
I wonder if a young, hip and trendy Insectus who hangs out with beings enough to understand the decorative aspects of fashion might not go in for plating there oxoskeleton with metals like gold or silver, or studding themselves with gems
Mm, pink elephants.

I don't think the insect really need any clothes even if they have some that fit, since they don't exactly need clothing. Much like dragons.

It is this like of behavior that makes public nudity illegal in most states. You are missing the point. You going around naked, because it is a beautiful and nature state to be in. It is not so you can be overflirtious, and Voyeuristic...That is just bad taste...like dressing slutty.
Matilda's joke is funny, but off the mark, where a naturist's feelings are. They don't feel like they are being naughty just because they are without clothes. Social codes still apply in public places if there is a chance that children are/will be present. Yuffing and heavy petting is still a private affairs with a lover. Yes, this is some of the small text.
PBH
But of course!
Matilda's comment is deliberately winding up the people who would get all worked up over it.
... and don't play innocent with me, missy, I've seen you doing the same thing. :-P
I can imagine Matilda in jewellery from Argos. Proper bling, lyk. Chavtilda.
I n any case Maltilda is hot no matter what you put her in.
I think there will be a story down the line where Dan and Maltilda will date and talk about each other and then we will finally found about her past.
I rate Maltilda a 10 while the pink elephant a 9 in hotness scale.
I wouldn't even know where to start with Matilda. I'll stick to my Diet Coke can fetish, thank you very much.
Also, that insect is hilarious looking.

Spikey collars to look like the bad girl pheniox, or gauzy sheer chokers for that nymphly naughty bird.

and for some speices like Matilda's dressing up might be a step they'd take if they wanted to be sexy for some one.
It's odd but I was picturing Matty in a turtle neck and skirt (in her case it would be more like a horses barding) but the resulting mental image is rather nice. Not to say that her au natural look is bad but...
Oddly enough, I had a slightly different mental image.
Take a pair of jeans, or something. And a skirt, or something like that.
And a shirt, that doesn't match either. The end result is someone who's heard about dressing up, but hasn't the faintest idea of how one would go about it, and has ended up picking three totally different items out of the closet and put them on...

It is interesting to note that people seems to become happier and less tried when they switch to less fast foods(less sugar, salt, and white bread) and start a little exercise. Like 30 minutes a day of walking or playing some racketball or tennis. Eat what the body is really looking for, and you feel full and eat less. Also Attractive is Almost attitude. When the people were asked who was sexier or more attractive of two posters of the same chubby woman. the one that said "Do you think I'm sexy?" won over the one that said "Should I lose a few pounds?"

She looks good in a sweater. ^.^ And a nice scale-green, too.
I'm just wondering... what colour barding would go with that? And not clash with her skin, I mean?

....Yellow with a purple stripe?
Well, this is an interesting idea. Amber says Matilda is joking, but about what? About feeling naked without jewelry, or perhaps something else? Interesting, interesting.

I like the way you think.
I noticed Matilda's green asbestos top. It looks good ...
I want a cool feather outfit like that Insectis. :c Really. It's awesome.
It seems to go back to 'beauty is in the eye of the beholder' As it was shown in the fashion page, it depends on the race to determine thier fashion needs ... :mowmeep

Yeah. I'm failing to see the issue there, either. There's a difference between being happy (or even giddy) about going around naked and getting off on knowing that others are gawking at you.
Me? I get off on knowing that if there are any peeping toms looking into my apartment when I'm getting dressed, I've blinded them.
Well, as we can see examples of around the world, it's a very cultural thing. In some of the more primative tribes, the 'societal rules' about decency can vary a lot. Some might have only the crotch covered for both sexes. Some might also have cover for the breasts for females, and some are just grab-bag.
If western society didn't make such a big deal out of nudity, then you'd probably see more of it. Then you have the more extreme things like the burkhas(SP?) of the Arabic region. It's accepted (mostly) and even desired by some, but to others in other places, it seems to be ridiculous and overkill.
So when it comes down to it, it's cultural and societal (And perhaps even class-based as well). When you throw in the added complication of different species, well...
