That has the look of the usual bras they used in 50s though. Just the middle part of it in the pic looks a bit weird.

But that type of bra is still used by women with large breasts to make it appear smaller and perky. New ones are just better and less conic looking. Bra is a disgusting thing anyway. It feels like a harness. Esp. if you don't get used to it from a young age.

Been poking through Roku and stumbled across Space: 1999, which held up better than I thought it would've.

I loved that show as a kid. I had the model of the Eagle 1.

In German, bra = harness.  No wonder Germans look good in leather and whips ;-)  So you would prefer a tight corset, or go commando like an Amazonian Indian?

I'm gonna have to poke around the Bay of E for one of those.  :)

I just saw the latest Mando and I friggin' cried watching this episode.  This is the best Star Wars I've seen put to screen since Empire.  Hell, maybe even slightly better.  I thought I'd never say that, but it's true.

I loved that show.  If it's on Roku somewhere, I just haven't stumbled across it yet.

You don't need to tell me!  I saw it pop up on my feed and literally cleared my desk and grabbed a snack.  Then almost choked on said snack several times in the episode!

[spoiler]That part where Blitzo says that he's not a dayhooker then gets a weird look from a passerby and takes offense to her offense is essentially my stance as well.  "I said I'm NOT one, prude!"  Keep walking!

I'm very glad we got to see more of hell, though we don't really learn anything new about it.  We're starting to flesh out the main cast some more, which is nice.  And it seems Stolas has graduated from recurring gag to series regular.  Interesting.[/spoiler]

Ha! I just came here to see if you guys saw it. Of course you did.

I like Stolas, in a weird way (and there's probably not any non-weird way).  The scene you mention, though, is the only one that kinda broke the story a little for me...
[spoiler]If this is supposed to be Hell, being a hooker (daytime or otherwise) strikes me as a pretty minor sort of thing where murder and mayhem are normal daily occurrences (and hard drugs are available from vending machines), so why should another demon take any offense at that?[/spoiler]

[spoiler]Same reason the imp mother was shocked that Loona came running out of the building just to punt her baby.

In Hazbin Hotel, we do see parts of hell that have numerous drug and porn buildings, and they're not far from vicious territorial battles.  But not all of Hell is so rough and tumble.  Helluva Boss mostly takes place in Imp City, and Loo Loo Land is thereabouts judging by its clientelle.  Imp City appears to be a much less wild part of Hell, prone more to general rudeness and petty crime (and traffic jams).

And as far as we know, Blitzo is more of a sexual deviant than most - the other two imps are practically saints in comparison, Millie apparently even forgoes alcohol on worknights.  Also, the I.M.P staff seem waaay more murderous than other imps.  The other imps we've seen so far have been personal servants of higher-ups, office workers, carnies, homeless, or minor criminals.  Either non-combatants or low-level threats at best.

We still don't have a definitive picture of hell and how its society is structred, but so far, it does look like Hell is very much a patchwork - some parts of it are debauched while others are prudish, some warlike while some are peaceable, etc.[/spoiler]

True, and we have seen prudery used as a vehicle for evil in the real world.  But you're right, we need to see more of the world's backstory.

Could be that imp society is mildly prudish.

Strangely, we have yet to see puritanical assholes in this cartoon hell.  You'd think they'd get front-row seats.  Instead, we get addicts and murderers and gang members and people who's only real fault seems to be that they're assholes and a quite sizable LGBT population.  Maybe an overly (for want of a better word) "realistic" hell would kill the comedic vibe.  Or maybe this cartoon God is real asshole.  We definitely need more details about the setting in the future.

This universe's god (assuming there is one) would have to be an asshole, if he allows demons to procreate. A child born in Hell doesn't have a chance. They're born in their situation. It wouldn't surprise me if we got a glimpse into this world's Heaven, and it's just full of a bunch of gloating assholes who think they're better than everyone else.
