Play-By-Play Commentary

Caged Butterflies

The butterflies are back! The butterflies are back!

Here Marian's figure is chiding Armin on his stroke technique: it's done this way, with your knee out like this, your arm extended like that. And clip-art? You want to see clip-art? Here's one WITH CLEAVAGE.

She's referencing both his initial return and his 1970's period type choice and has here increased the negative space to interesting effect, making us inspect the entire layer, and my God, I am just too lazy. There is all this blinking to do.

This is still very much a Battle of the Sexes for Marian, just like it was for Billie Jean, and here she seems to be standing firm saying, no, I will not walk your way.

Play by play commentary for this match is provided, as it happens, by Heather Armstrong.
