I just wrote 10 pages on Sailor Moon and girl power and cyborgs--and how the excess of femininity in gender performative acts (as exhibited in the morphin sequences in which the Scouts are adorned traditional feminine accouterments) actually subverts the patriarchal power structure through their hyper-visibility. With something about cyborgs thrown in.

I feel so proud.

And tired.

And now for Bishojo Sailor Moon Senshi--the live action Sailor Moon--I have been saving up these episodes to watch until I was done with the semester for good.
