I'm writing an essay about the Buffy episode "Doppelgangland." It's about gender. Synonyms for "provocative" and "sexualised", flist?

The essay's actually going really badly. God knows why: it's about how "images and understandings of gender (femininity or masculinity) affect the representation of monstrosity or the abject." So it should be easy as pie - Evil Willow's slutting it up all over the screen. But, argh, there must be more to say - I can't make that take up 3,500 words, and I kinda don't want to. How come all the Buffy scholarship is on Buffy, not Willow? Anyway - this is all by way of asking, if anyone knows any good spots for Buffy meta, especially episodic Buffy meta or Buffy gender meta witrh a focus on pre-Tara Willow, I'd love a tip.

Ugh, unfortunately sex and the slayer was out of the library and will be until well after the essay's due. the prof should really have put it on 3-hour loan, but... nope, of course she didn't. SIGH.

No, some of what you said is interesting and reflects plenty of what I said in the essay, so hopefully you're not crazy, because if you are, um, I am too.

Why are all your icons so damn hot?

Alas! That's pretty much my Buffy gender studies bible. Damn good read, too. What class is this for, anyway?
It is really, really hard to judge what makes sense and what is Dr. Hobo (http://www.vgcats.com/comics/?strip_id=76) stuff when I'm half asleep. XD
And my icons are pure awesome because I am pure awesome. Also because I snag most of them from my super-talented sister, oravannahka.
