...but it's not Tuesday yet.  This is, in fact, fast.

Erin would have got there sooner but I guess she has to take the stairs quite slowly.

"Put it away, Dani." She could have been talking to me. Apart from the name thing.

I was tempted to ask if Erin borrowed someone else's dress in a rush, but that's not feasible.  Is this perhaps the result of her time underneath the belltower?

I hope her warning is in time.  Cherry's expression of gleeful avaricious expectation is disturbing.

This is a splash page with a hint of foreboding, right? ;)

I think Erin always dressed like that?

I think this is the dress Erin was wearing during the lustpile that facilitated Jacqui's programming (one of the best classic splash pages).  However, I believe it was just a touch roomier.

I'm fairly certain that's just an evolution of the art style.  I'd be interested to know if I'm wrong, though.

Actually, after looking at both, they appear to be different.  Red is just her color.

Yeah, this appears to be a dress; the earlier outfit consisted of a skirt and a, you know, erm, top thingy.

Fans and snarky critics of series like Charmed had...an unfortunate nickname for those because the lead actresses wore variations of them often to...er, boost ratings.

ETA--I looked back in the 60s.  That red ensemble looks like a dress to me, not a top and a skirt.  Looks like she's broken it out again.  However, as I said, last time we saw it, there seemed to be more room in the bust area.  So, um--we love it and all, but why is it smaller on her now?  Did it shrink last time it was laundered/dry-cleaned?  Is her apparent growth the result of her exposure to the tuned up broadcast center in the early part of Harem Night?  Is it evolving artistic style and interpretation?  Or something else we haven't considered?

For example, another magical cost of her healing and protection spell?

Erin's fingers in 42. Erin's midriff in 55, 56, 66. Two items of discarded clothing in 67.

You're not wrong...I, personally think PK has substantially (pardon the pun) upped his game in the drawing of the boobage area :)

Not wrong...again! Earlier one is a bustier and skirt combo...latest is a one piece dress - script called for red - colorist decided on shiny - I LIKE shiny :)
