Abouttime's column: A Man's View on Voodoo Queen Style

One of the first assignment we gave abouttime was a study of Voodoo Queen fashion. He showed his mettle by not shying away from this harsh task. Not only did he use his meticulous research method (watching key scenes in slow motion and freeze-frame on a big screen TV) to study the subject itself, he also added aditional perspectives by comparing Danielle's style with Veronica's. His findings showed clearly that similar outfits will have very different results. Articles like these build the legendary reputation of abouttime in fashion circles.

Voodoo Queen’s “jungle outfit” is very sexy, seductive and delicious.  The black, shiny, leather, corset-like outfit is tied titillating tightly around her torso and screams SEX!  The pattern across the front provides a subtle hint that points men in the right direction.  The leather strings that tie the upper piece together, especially across the breasts, bind her body in a breathtaking fashion.  The black leather short shorts and the knee-high boots provide a tantalizing finish to the outfit.

 

Even though Voodoo Queen’s outfit is a raw and sexy, it goes too far.  Her outfit is not practical at all but as long as she can command trogs or seduce Lords, she doesn’t have to be practical.  She looks like a feminine version of the Rocky Horror dude.  The Voodoo Queen looks more like a prostitute or dominatrix than a beautiful woman.  The intention is to make the Voodoo Queen as evil as possible but it made her looks more like a slut.

 

In one scene with Malone the four leather cross strings that are tied tightly across her breasts.  Parts of her breasts are bulging out of the leather strings and it is not attractive at all.  In the other scenes these strings are not as tight and it does add to her sensuality.  Voodoo Queen is very noticeable at first but after a while the outfit gradually transforms from sexy to boring.

Two skimpy outfits - worlds apart!

Readers BEWARE! Similar style elements do not bring the same results

In a scene with Veronica the two stands next to each other as Veronica reminds her that she is a visitor.  The irony of the mirror effect illustrates what opposites they are despite the fact that both are wearing very provocative outfits.  Both outfits are cut in a similar fashion but the contrast between good and evil couldn’t be greater.

Voodoo Queen’s second outfit, the celebratory slaughter outfit near the end of the episode, is closer to a practical jungle-wear.  This outfit is more practical and allows her to do her dance.  It is somewhat similar to Veronica’s but is not as seductive.

 

Although I would initially notice her, I would get bored with her and lose interest.   The only explanation for Roxton is that she had a Voodoo doll of Roxton.   I can’t imagine falling for the Voodoo Queen.  The Voodoo Queen is a woman men dream about ... when having nightmares!
