Oddly enough, I find that I have to agree with Mr. Martillo... sort of. If nothing had been said, and I had read that issue, I never would have thought anything of MJ's apparel. I certainly wouldn't have thought that she dressed like a slut. However, since Martillo mentioned it, I'd have to agree that her apparel (for those of you who haven't looked at that issue, she was wearing a mini-skirt, fishnet stockings, and high heels) and stance are very much like a hooker's. Perhaps I should say, like a stereotypical hooker's. The times that I have seen real hookers, in Boston's Combat Zone and NY's Times Square, there was as great a variety in their appearance as in any group of people. That's why I only sort of agree with Mr. Martillo. --- jayembee (Jerry Boyajian, DEC, Maynard, MA) UUCP: {decvax|ihnp4|allegra|ucbvax|...}!decwrl!dec-rhea!dec-akov68!boyajian ARPA: boyajian%akov68.DEC@DECWRL.ARPA
