Zombie supermodels! Great job.

Well, strictly speaking, they are "skeletal" models. Zombies in the next bit! Have you been looking at my notes? Hee!

Thanks for commenting, sweetie!

LOL - perfection. There's always time for some loving before fighting evil begins. :)

Spike thinks so, anyway! Buffy might say that duty comes first, but she doesn't really mind when she does. ;-)

Can't wait till they come back and find their dressing room all messed up! Six feet tall skinny possibly evil beauties clearly deserve to be vexed.

Alas, the wardrobe minions will have to do the clean-up. The models will just sip some more cleansing tea and stop smoking for five minutes. Tsk.

Thanks for commenting!

I forgot to say, I really appreciated that it was sex that made the plot advance: a rare occurrence.

Hey! How about that?! I wasn't even trying that hard!

"the golden age of carhop suppers" - nice vintage evil touch!

Oh how funny! So glad Spike's there to assure Buffy of her desirability. Unrealistic ideals of figure shape? Definitely a force of evil. Though that black magic might need investigation, too.

Great work with the prompt! *clap clap clap*

Spike resents your implication that he is in any way "vintage". Heh.

I can't decide which evil is the greater threat, though I'm leaning toward the body image one. *nods*

So glad you liked it!

Eeee! Such fun! Evil clothing, non-evil supermodels that Buffy isn't allowed to slay, reassuring Spike. It's perfect.

Hee! I think you caught every ounce of nuance in this, not that there was a huge amount. ;-) Thanks for the feedback!

This might have been inspired by a recent purchase of more-expensive-than-they-ought-to-have-been workout pants. (That's trousers to you, I suppose.)
