Grace is cute as a goth.

I suppose the large breasts are because cows have big udders, but breasts are not shaped like udders nor placed like udders. This probably ties into why I'm not a fan of furries in general.  At least she's not a lizard with breasts or a naga.

The horns are more problematic. They look quite dangerous - to Ashley. They would be connected to the skull, but not adequately braced, and seem like they would be prone to fracture her skull if she stumbled against something or took a blow to the head.

Any body part transformation that is not a part of the modern human template is going to some sort of problem.

This may be mitigated IF the extraneous parts are extremely lightweight & detachable (like a lizard tail).

The safest option would be illusions.

I agree that Goth!Grace is cute.  Not real fond of the whole "Cow Girl" look.

Quote

Hearing about this later, Diane, a former cheerleader herself, had no idea how to react. She wanted to argue against the mean cheerleader stereotype, as she knew for a fact that most cheerleaders were hard-working, lovely people.

But she also knew she'd acted like a bully sometimes, and didn't want anyone to bring that up.

Even without her own past, I think Diane is perfectly aware that there are reasons that the trope/stereotype exists.

I haven't seen the movie, but were any of "The Mean Girls" cheerleaders?

I did see the movie years ago. I don't recall that being a main point about any of them, but it might have been incidentally mentioned.

FWIW, it was not a terrible movie. I took my then teen aged daughter, and I was suitably entertained. Noteworthy, perhaps, the main character is really good at math and she's a mathlete. I applaud this message.

I don't see movies that often and I really don't see movies about high school and/or tech.  "Office Space" is like a documentary for me.  About the only tech TV show I watch is "The IT Crowd".

Office Space was awesome.

I see a fair amount of movies, and honestly, most of them I've seen recently have been disappointing. I feel like they are not even trying any more, just milk the old IPs with nothing new injected. Mean Girls had some creativity.

We must agree to disagree.  I find it painful and not funny.

I can understand that point of view. I used to like Dilbert. I knew those people. Then I took a Dilbert book out of the library. It was too much, all at once. Not fun.

Even so, we still get directives that remind me of 'the pointy haired boss read a magazine'.

I read Dilbert (until Mr. Adams lost his mind) daily.  Small does of that type of humor I can deal with.  Like you said, a whole book of it is too much.  I still used "Pointy haired boss owner" to describe the man that owned the shop of my last job.  Doug was special.
