yeah sorry, I should have added that both examples can relate to innuendos.
Since I’m there I can translate it with alacrity and mediocrity:
“Miss, did he say at last, while trying to keep a strict and cold composure, there are things that we can’t tolerate…proper conduct is here de rigueur” (Zola, The Ladies’ Delight )
Considering one of them is, for all intents and purposes, Nick’s twin sister, and also considering that he’s currently attached and madly in love with someone who is not them, I think only Baron will be.
Eh, Nick’s pretty aware he can enjoy what he sees and that would NOT damage his relationship. I mean, he did point out before that Lovelace -could- go in the sim.
Similar to yesterday’s discussion of Dave-in-Lovelace’s-Hologram “wast[ing them] with his awesome rack,” the idea of snapping your fingers to instantly change your cyber-clothes also comes from that week of strips.
The laws of comedy will now demand that the rest of the staff see absolutely nothing wrong with those two, allowing them access to the back rooms and staff hallways that will allow access to the true Baron faster than Nick.
One will let you blend as a guest, the other as staff. Pick your (not very) subtle disguise well.
Call security!
Why?
Something about their glitter just ain’t right.
Indeed, one should never forget the glitter. It is de rigueur.
đ I don’t want to mix rigor even not mortis with hornied horses…
Also what I found checking de rigueur:
Dâ. Loc. adj. De rigueur. ExigĂ©, imposĂ© par les usages, l’Ă©tiquette, le rĂšglement. “Mademoiselle, dit-il enfin, en tĂąchant de garder une sĂ©vĂ©ritĂ© froide, il y a des choses que nous ne pouvons tolĂ©rer… la bonne conduite est ici de rigueur” (Zola, Au Bonheur des dames,1883, p. 721).
“Oui, je lui ai dĂ©jĂ donnĂ© un petit abbĂ© (…) C’est de rigueur” (Dumas pĂšre, Mariage sous Louis XV,1841, iii, 7, p. 156)
Trés bien! Vous avez préparé vÎtre sujet!

“Yes, I already gave him a little abbey(…) It’s de rigueur” (Dumas senior, Wedding under Louis XV)
Note: it was usual for nobility (and much later conservative bourgeoisie) to have some sort of priest, using as a mix of confessor and behavior guide. That special blend of mixing proximity and social guidance resulted in them having much more knowledge a the said lady that often her husband himself. It is a sort of clichĂ© of the erotic literature that the abbey becomes/is from the beginning the lady’s lover. The history of religious sidekicks being friends with benefits is reallly long, from the Dames Galantes (a pamphlet from BrantĂŽme, himself an Renaissance abbey and a baron’s son) to ThĂ©rĂšse philosophe and later…
tl;dr: I was actually trying to shoehorn (pun intended) the rigor into the fact AimĂ©e is looking down while speaking of glitter…
While those costumes are more modest, they aren’t more dignified.
Well, they’re OK for footie pajamas, but they probably don’t work for formal wear.
Well, in the Baron’s world, they probably do work as formalwear.
Nick and Baron M. will be sorry they missed their original outfits.
Considering one of them is, for all intents and purposes, Nick’s twin sister, and also considering that he’s currently attached and madly in love with someone who is not them, I think only Baron will be.

Nick takes great delight in seeing Aimee in embarrassing outfits. http://skin-horse.com/comic/gotten-enough/
No doubt because he had to be the Whimsey princess once, so he can get a laugh out of Aimee having to go through that.

Amiee, your eyes in the first panel…are…
Well, she is sort of a previous Nick… and “It’s built into the plumbing.”
I think we’ve been seeing hints that Aimee is into Lovelace for most of this arc.
The laws of comedy will now demand that the rest of the staff see absolutely nothing wrong with those two, allowing them access to the back rooms and staff hallways that will allow access to the true Baron faster than Nick.
Did her previous comment about Baja Blast not make you think this could happen?
Excellent use of princess magic.
Agreed!
If if we’re me, I’d pick the snazzy white suit that Nick got.
