        I'm outclassed here, I should drop it :-)

        Given Space Ritual's usual state of funding, I suspect she's not
gone and bought this stuff specially... (Wouldn't like to guess why she
*has* it, then, but that's not really the point.)

        I think it's just meant to be costume for fun. As I say, if it was
meant to be erotic I'm sure she could dance in such a way as to do
that. She isn't. The nun's habit comes out for `Ejection'; she does mock
prayers and genuflects. I figured that was an echo of the whole `mea
culpa' bit on the original. Similarly the flapper rig and I-dog thing is
vaguely SF/futuristic.

        I grant you, I can't make any kind of connection for the nurse's
outfit. Maybe she's just run out of ideas. But I don't really see the
big deal. Perhaps I know too many goths and PVC no longer has a wider
social significance for me.

        Anyway... I might leave it here :-) Yours,
                                                   Jon
