BOOB WINDOWS (Tuesday Filler)

I tried to get a picture of porn version Power Girl but she wouldn't keep the outfit on long enough.

So I have been doing research on boob windows in comics. I didn't want to turn this into a sexualization of women in comics. They do the exact same thing to men so whatever. I am more wanting to report on boob windows as a fashion design thing. I don't know what authority I could claim to have on fashion but I am going to try this anyways. This is going to take a while to do the write the kind of article that I want to write so here is a dump of some images from my research.

Not pictured, Underboob.
Women have boobs. It is socially acceptable to display portions of your boobs so that people can admire them in quick glances when you, hopefully, aren't looking. There are many ways to display your boobs. Pictured to the left is a few of the ways boobs can be viewed in public. We have regular cleavage, the classic. We have sideboob, a sign of a fancy dress. And as part of the title we have the boob window. As it hopefully you have seen in real life boob windows aren't only in comic books. They are a little more unnatural looking in many female super hero outfits when put together with a skin tight outfit. I'll use boob a lot in this article.
 Star Trek has the cleavage window. It is even part of the Klingon standard issue outfit. This is what was wrong with the federation outfit. Imagine Deanna Troi or 7 of 9 in boob window outfits. Giggity. At some point I know I will get to comic girls in weird outfits. But first off I have to explore the analogues with regular people clothes. And I guess watch more porn parodies. Did you know that Time Lords and Klingon both have two hearts?

Now I prefer to write my articles sequentially as opposed to going back and editing them. By this is mean I start writing before I know where exactly I am going to end and then I just keep going from there. Essentially I don't have the time or skill to go back and be more concise. What I do have is pictures of boob windows in comics. They are everywhere. I have searched and searched for something to say about them. They are a topic that I take note of often. The only thing that I have definitively come up with to say on them by the time Tuesday rolls around is that they are silly. They are everywhere. http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/CleavageWindow Tv tropes doesn't even scratch the surface of their use. So here instead of more comments is what you may have come to see. The image dump.

This is possibly the dumbest one I saw during all of my research.
Later the boob window was removed from Rockets outfit in ICON.
I do belive that is Talia Al Ghoul 

That is just a few pictures that I have gotten off the internet. I shall add to this every now and then as I read comics and see more of them.

Okay Witchblade is allowed to have boob windows.
