As I carefully walk through this minefield, MY queen Tracy has gone through a significant change and come out the other side, sexy as ever (my opinion). The influential culture change that the MC is currently going through, will affect her minimally, since OBD is keeping her on the outside of the club.
Jess on the other hand wants top billing, inside the club. While I agree and think the hot pants do remind me of the wet dream (Miss Bach), we've noticed the MC go through physical changes in the last 4 episode, Jess should also be affected by the changes. The passion she shows for the lifestyle, makes it a requirement.
Hate to say it, change is necessary. We know that OBD pays attention to the minor details. Compromise is a good thing in this instance, keep the shorts, but other areas can be changed. For me, change the hair, top and footwear, ink will be an explosive subject in this forum. IRL never been a fan of ink, but certain games have quietly changed that opinion.
P.S. OBD, love how you throw in new eye candy periodically!
