THANK YOU!! That was making me crazy, trying to figure out why she seemed so familiar.

I know your pain. I hate it when I'm thinking of something very specific, but I can't name it or figure out what the connection is between it and what made me think of it.
It's stuff like this that can drive a person to levels of insanity previously unexplored... Like spending an entire weekend furiously combing the entire internet looking for a single, obscure little article I once noticed three years ago.

Ragyo Kiryuin

Meh. Kath could take her, two of three falls.

And if she started getting beat badly, Monica could just start an Astral Fish Fry.

Fascinating.

The first thing I thought when I saw that pic was:
Huh. That seems like a real difficult hair dye job to pull off IRL.
Number 2 thought was Kinda looks like the cup is covering her nipple rather than her clothing...
And then the third thought was Great Googly-Moogly, look at those eyebrows!

on her nip? check your biology... refer to linked pic!

there is a better one, but its HUGE... (800px × 1,026px)

and I also found a fans 'how to do it' page!

Indeed. It seems to be a familial trait; her daughter Satsuki has pretty strong eyebrow game as well.

Not bad, but I recall seeing one that actually included rows of LEDs to replicate the glow.

I think the thing to do might be a hybrid approach. From the look of those dyes, I'd guess that a lot of them would fluoresce quite nicely... so, adding a few longwave ultraviolet LEDs would highlight the 'do quite nicely.

Even some hair gels fluoresce, and I suspect that arrangement needs a fair bit of gel to stay swooshed properly...

Big, but at least those somewhat make sense. I'm still trying to figure out Dorothy Catalonia.

Snip: Crazy Eyebrow Chick

I dunno, Renji Abarai's full-body tribal(?) eyebrow tattoos or whatever are pretty mind-boggling too..:
Link the first
Link the second
So Google screwed with the way their pages are displayed on phones or something, and now my poor old iPhone 4-something-or-another can barely handle it... Ugh... So SLOW...

Not having seen Kill la Kill before (and not much of an anime fan - oh well), I took a look at YouTube, enjoyed grinding through about an hour or so, and realized two things:

This is the most hyperbolic, absurd, dynamic, and prototypically Japanese art form I've seen in a while, and:

It reminds me so much of Beowulf, wherein every character entering the scene for the first time gets four pages of who they are, where they've been, what they're on about, and now I shall kill you for insulting my mother.

Yes, I can see the epilepsy warnings now...

That speech of hers sounds like Doublethink from the novel Nineteen Eighty-four
