Re: British fashion things, yeah, pretty much. I never felt self-conscious about my body before I started studying there, and it turned out that being flat is sort of a big deal. :/ So I'm glad you managed to find something okay.

Transmetropolitan, yay! I was re-reading it some time ago and it's always impressive how current it remains; few things would be changed, I think, if Ellis were writing it now. It's not perfect, but it's one of my favourite comics, and it has a special place in my heart now that it's also relevant to my academic interests.
