To quote Robin Williams as the Genie in Aladdin.... "Boy, do I feel sheepish." I think Green Tangeringsun (Risa has such a cute voice!!!) was chastising me since I uploaded a pic of the ladies in bikinis, just to show that my Photoshop skills were..... a bit more advanced than yours.
I ended up deleting it afterwards cuz I didn't want it to end up floating around the internet, I'm sure all the people on this forum are true fans, but you can still get trolls anywhere. Anyway, let's all just listen to Shonen Knife music and be happy again!!
Well, it *was* a pretty clean shop, but the angles were not ideal to work with.
It's true I'm on this case, but it's not at all your personal case.
It's only that conversations involving hotness usually seem to get this
disgusting undertone when the opposing team isn't present. And if you've
never heard the ladies talk amongst themselves, you really should.
Why the respect issue is so touchy is there's not enough of it to go around,
especially lately.

It didn't escape me at all that Shonen Knife consists of cute women.
Before I ever heard or saw them, that was the calling card: J-punk girls band.
It really matters that they are cute. Cute is part of the package. When they
look for additional members, SK demand more cuteness than they historically
have from the temporary support. Just look at the photos.
It's also true that whoever works for Shonen Knife for a long time gets cuter
and cuter as the time passes.
[ Roll file footage ] Here it is happening in time-lapse:
Watch how Etsuko goes from slightly sullen *here* to fairy drum princess. Ritsuko's
geek-factor falls 75%, and Emi changes from loony to swoony. When they hired
Risa, she didn't know what grooming was and suddenly *here* she has smart hair
and cheekbones. Even Atsuko has more sparkle than she did 25 years ago.
Naoko's in a different class. Her choices look more like, Virgin UK was wrong.
I can be a rock-star guitarist with regular hair, stretch-pants and comfy shoes.

"Flying Jelly Attack" performed by old bald guys who are a total mess would
be pretty hard to take. I don't think I could get through it.
The same is not true of "Highway to Hell".
This is a deep subject.
