Whose stuff? Black Lady
From? Anime: Sailor Moon R
Season Episode 39: Series Episode 85 -「暗黒の女王ブラックレディの誕生」 or “The Birth of Black Lady, The Queen of Darkness”
What? Transformation ribbons, long and loose.
Wise Man essentially traps Chibi-Usa by making her focus on (misplaced) anger towards the people around her. This rage turns into black smokey ribbons that cover her, transforming her into Black Lady. It is an interesting comparison to Sailor Moon’s transformation ribbons: Chibi Usa’s anger and hatred leads to ribbons that change her, literally warping her body. But, Sailor Moon’s love and desire to help leads to ribbons that “armor” and power-up her body.
Just like the cry “make-up,” ribbons continue the cosmetic metaphor for how girls “change” themselves (for better or worse).
GIMME! So if you need a little bit of transformation…
Wear black or pink ribbons, long and sophisticated like the models for designer Alexis Mabille.
Or wear ribboned jewelry, like a Ligia Dias necklace or a Chanel ribbon bracelet or just make one yourself for 1/10000 of the price.
Or, loop it in your hair like a TV heroine (villainess??).
Or just as a forget me not ring perhaps?
