Yeah, 'cause that's who this stuff is marketed at: who doesn't want a huge-$$$$ outfit to wear only once at their staff Christmas party? WHAT?! This article seems to be mocking the whole rave/fetish scene -- some people take this stuff seriously, you know, please show us some respect. "a fantastically bizarre addition to any fashionistas wardrobe"? You're not seriously marketing fetishwear to fashionistas? This stuff HAS a niche market, and this article totally ignores it! Also "from (which should absolutely be worn with a little black dress) to uber-shiny knee socks & dresses for the sincerely futuristic Mormon Polygamist wife." I'll dismiss the ridiculousness (and slightly offensive nature) of "sincerely futuristic Mormon Polygamist wife" (you know nothing about Mormonism either, it seems...) for a second, and just ask -- does this sentence make sense? WHAT should be worn with (shudder) a little black dress?! *tears out hair* “Imagine how popular they’d make you at the staff Christmas party!”

It is about these miniature fighting robots (controlled mentally by their human owners). http://www.freewebs.com/allthatmanga/Angelic%20layer.jpg The above picture shows some of the fighting robot/dolls. I am mostly reminded of the middle one in red (with the pink hair) The first picture reminds me of an anime I have seen called Angelic Layer.
