Two Quickies

At left, Astro Jane with blue eyes (thank you, Brother Grimace) and a touched up appearance. This is win to the awesome power. At right, a flopped pic of Space Quinn, so she's got a cell phone in her right hand, not her left. Eh. Jane still rules.







Have fun, more later.

Give Them a Flip

Remember that post some time ago about flopping images? Here are two images previously posted on DFB2 that have been horizontally flopped. Because the characters are bilaterally symmetrical, you end up with something almost like a new picture, or (at worst) an old pic with a refreshing look. The images are big when you click on them.

Just felt like doing that.

Kinda fun. Well, for simple people like me, yeah.

Space Quinn says, "Happy Saturday!"

There you go, a nice Space Quinn for your website. Had a little fun playing with Irfanview and Paint (to eliminate the text only). Lookin' good.





That's all, nothing else to say. Just . . . admire.

And bring her a soda with two ice cubes, roundish ones.

A Guide to Digital Dressing, by Space Quinn

At right is the image I call Space Quinn, from the 2000 MTV site. It is on a webpage that is still intact (mostly) and won't redirect, located here. The page includes a short essay by Quinn that is reprinted below. Enjoy.

P.S. Quinn's foot is part of another image and will be recovered in time.

P.P.S. Just because Quinn uses the word "Internet" with a lower-case i doesn't mean it is proper to do. This is Quinn, after all. Use a capital I.

Let's try the internet on for size!
A Guide to Digital Dressing by Quinn Morgendorffer

As Vice President of the Lawndale High Fashion Club, it is my duty to examine the social impact of advances in shopping technology by fully researching the impact of online commerce on teenage buying habits and credit card abuse (at least until Mom and Dad find out).

Shopping on the Internet is very convenient and private, which is a good thing if you are really a size larger than your friends think you are (not me) or are fed up with certain people making comments in the dressing room about your shoulder blades being of uneven elevation, which they are just imagining.

The downside is that you can't try anything on unless you pay for it, so you don't get to see how great you look in outfits that are way out of your price range.

And let's say the delivery comes when you're at home alone and you try on a lavender slip dress with eyelet edging and it gets stuck on your head while you are taking it off and there is no one there to help you and you can't even see to dial the phone for help and you have to wait until your sister comes home and beg her not to take pictures. Not that it ever really happened, no. What sister?

Now if you think charging in cyberspace is cool, just wait until the future! I hear that shopping implants are being invented in some cold country where everyone is blonde, and soon you will just have to think about something to automatically buy it.

At least that's what Daria told me before she went off to spend her dirty hush money on some depressing book.
