In which if you liked it then you should've put a Ring on it
The lesson to take away from this picspam? Heavily armed women are less angry when placated with PONIES. Altogether now: "Kill the wabbit! Kill the wabbit!"
From One reason I Like Opera, by Marge Piercy
In movies, you can tell the heroine
because she is blonder and thinner
than her sidekick. The villainess
is darkest. If a woman is fat,
she is a joke and will probably die.
In movies, the blondest are the best
and in bleaching lies not only purity
but victory. If two people are both
extra pretty, they will end up
in the final clinch.
Only the flawless in face and body
win. That is why I treat
movies as less interesting
than comic books. The camera
is stupid. It sucks surfaces.
Let's go to the opera instead.
The heroine is fifty and weighs
as much as a '65 Chevy with fins.
She could crack your jaw in her fist.
She can hit high C lying down.
Mu Guiying fighting her teenage son traditional style (3min utu).
ETA: I've just noticed the costume detailing on the front, and the character seems to be male.
/serves me right for accepting someone else's labelling and not paying enough attention
