Am I the only GIRL in this forum? I seem to be the only one that hasn't been run off.
I do admit that the lengerie thing was done rather well, especially with Hortense in her Dr. Furter outfit. She should save it for Halloween.
Very good point! And the thing about the wig is especially sad--I think she looks much better without it, myself.Mikhail Dragoslav wrote:I'm not convinced Hortense is supposed to play the same role as Gilly. Gilly we enjoy seeing tarred, feathered, and whatnot. Hortense is a more sympathetic character.
They way I see it, Hortense has a hard time, being a reptile lady. Simply put, furry is cute, scales...not so much. Remember how Lily cuddled Velvet back in UTLT? Do you think she would've done the same for a lizard? No one's given Morty a hug lately, have they? Reptiles, insects, and vultures, are not animals that we'd think of as being cute under most circumstances.
This is all speculation here, but I think Hortense's deal is that she resents that most standards of beauty revolve around furries and that she has to alter her appearance (the wig and whatnot) in order to fit in, or at least not stand out as conspicuously. So she resents the image of women and resents herself for playing along.
Personally, I'm usally more wary of women like the squirrel girls than women like Hortense.
