Black colored “lingerie” is called leather, dude. When you’re living in the woods, trust me – fine silk does not work well. And is it a coincidence that the troublemaker’s name can stand for “Pain In The Ass”?
Right, if leather can be died black it can be died any color… even sexy feminine colors… or denim even would be durable enough except when the baddies rip them up… then more skin… Black leather is getting cliché.
Except, Wally, that many of those fancy colors require dyes created from fancy petrochemicals, and bleaching out the leather to a light enough shade to use those colors is not particularly easy, either. This is part of why American Indians valued the white buffalo (albino) and the white deer (again, albino) so much. And the side of things where Pita is, is distinctly low-tech. The girls are wearing dark brown, jerkwad is wearing fairly natural brown, etc. The only signs of aniline dyes we’re seeing in the pic is Pita’s slippers & Mr. HappyToy.
Tara Li, You have a point about technology and modern dyes but… it I recall my history lessons the ancients of Egypt and other same-era civilizations had dyes and bleaches even back to ancient China and aboriginal peoples of the early bronze and late stone ages. None of those dyes needed Dow chemical and other petrochemical industries to get the colors. Just saying I’d like to see a little more color on the ladies.
Actually, a fair number, Guesticus – but most of the dyes of the time were dark and/or subdued/unsaturated. The brighter dyes tended to be quite expensive, which is why you tended to see it only on finery for special occasions, or upper class clothing, such as royalty and the upper ranks in the churches. Of course, there’s a fair bit of fantasy going on here – you generally don’t, despite the Tarzan movies, go wandering around forested areas wearing *that* little clothing. If you do, the leather ends up getting dyed dried blood brown/red.
I hope She didn’t have to change into that shirt in the hallway. Wait… the visuals… I changed my mind; that would be okay.

What is with the black colored lingerie? Is that all that’s available or is it the standard uniform for half naked girls in a magical land?

It can also stand for “Pinkie In The Ass”, but only if she likes you, and you ask nicely (and don’t have a dick)
All I gotta say is that Pita looks tasty in that outfit! I wonder if it’s a thong….
Pink slippers in last frame! Ha! Great to see regular updates.
Nikki’s shirt is still the most awful thing!
… I mean really – it looks like she has been shot in the left
lower lung!

No fair spoiling Wally’s rant like that Tara 😛
Not sure what people have against Nikki’s shirt, looks good to me (odd, but good)

Yeah, but how many of those ancients dyes were used on leather?

Depends on the climate, and the size of the animal they had to turn into clothes
