Tight New World by Elisabete and Shmabahamoha (Archive Link)
I finally got to a story by Elisabete, that was edited by Shmabahamoha and it’s a fantastic one. This work begins by a retelling of how fashion developed over the next few decades and how it ended up being so constrictive for women in that future world. It begins with corsets, continues with ballet heels, and at some point some very sophisticated gags come into play as well.
The next chapter follows Jane, a regional director of a large bank, and how that fashion impacts her life, as well as how she gives in for more extreme garments. This follows then with the third part for Jane’s little sister Rachel, who always liked that kind of fashion more than Jane. She finally manages to get a job in a department, where very advanced protective suits have to be worn, and she’s fitted with some rather long-lasting garments, which won’t be removed for quite some time.
I’ll continue to cover more of Elisabete & Shmabahamoha’s works in the future, as they really are some of my favourite authors.
