In brush-strokes of yellow.

When the latest version of Supergirl debuted, a good deal of fandom recoiled in horror. What could they possibly have been basing their character designs off of? it was asked. She doesn't even look *human.* And who would wear stuff like that, anyway?

And, well. I'm not saying I disagree....
 

















 

My brain hurts, and not just because I spent the last couple hours looking at pictures of Paris Hilton.

To think I was worried about finding reasons to use the new icon.

You've never heard Paris Hilton say that? That's, like, her thing--she gets a vapid expression (well, more vapid than usual) and, in a perfectly flat monotone, says, "That's hot."

I have not! I have no tv! (Honestly, I probably wouldn't have recognized her if I wasn't specifically doing a Google search.)

So I was concerned for a moment there: Wait, "Paris Hilton broke my gay"? That's not what was supposed to happen...

;)

Hah! My gay is impervious! Legions of scantily-clad women bearing steaming hot toddies could not break my gay!

Wow. With such a power, you could probably join the Justice League! Or at least the Legion of Superpets...

The vapid expression is because she's "sexy but nor sexual."

That might not be an exact quote, but it's the gist of it. The idea being that she's hot but she has no desire for things that are hot herself. Her job is not to see, but to be seen. Which is really creepy, but fits accounts of the infamous sex tapes - in which she is bored enough to start talking on the phone, while, um.....

And also (sadly) makes a sick sort of sense if she was actually used as a model for some female comic book characters.
