Bad Shojo Comics

Medium: Comics
Fandom: X-Men
Subject: Emma Frost
Title: Little Miss Evil
Warnings: Profanity

Notes: I think it may be pretty obvious by now that I have a thing for Emma Frost.  Although the tendency towards revealing fetish outfits are clearly an aspect of it, I think that the most important part is the fact that she’s more human than any other of the X-men.  She’s not a hero because it’s ‘the right thing.’  She’s not beautiful because she was ‘born that way.’  Even her mutant powers have been something that she’s suffered for and from, rather than a natural gift.  And although she is clearly the poster child for moral relativism, she does offer an insightful reminder of how you don’t have to be nice to be a good person.

In general this is an excuse to share my terrible taste in music, as usual, and use a lot of 80s and early 90's pop and rock.  Taylor Dayne clearly does not have enough of a presence in fanmixes these days; Blondie and the Divinyls also have been sadly abandoned.

Also, I saw one mix where the compiler explained her reasoning for including the songs and what they meant, and I enjoyed that, so I thought I would do the same.
