The hotels.com thing makes no sense to me, and as far as I know I think it will work in Canada. It's the same reason that Europeans can't download from American itunes, if the show hasn't aired over there yet I guess they don't want people to have access to it.

The one on the left is from the '80s, no?

It was from back when she was with the Brotherhood of Evil Mutants. I honestly don't know when she was introduced, so thus I don't know when that would've been.

True, I suppose. Style and fashion isn't a big thing for me, so I generally don't give it any notice when I look at something, it has to be pointed out to me.

Dude, I'm not exactly a member of the Fab Five, here, but that SCREAMS early '80s.

I think it has to do with the one-piece body suit, covered with an off-the-shoulder shirt for no apparent reason. Why is it that in the 80's, we would cover ourselves up with clothes that had no real use or reason to them? Like leg warmers. Was everyone a ballet dancer?

Those are awesome. I don't remember ever reading the comics in depth, unless my dad picked one up or something.

I have been watching the TV series lately, thanks to the magic of DVDs.

Rogue kicked ass. Half-insane from Mrs. Marvel's brain rolling around up there, and severe issues with touching.

Longshot was pretty damn sweet too.

Dude, I wasn't even born until the mid 80s. I wasn't exactly paying attention to anything until the late 80s, early 90s.

Excuses!

I was just a wee girl in the 80s, yet I know 80s fashion when I see it.

There is no mistaking 80's fashion... :) I can't believe I actually wore some of it! Mom has the pictures, so I know I did.

bright yellow jelly shoes ftw!

You're also a girl, giving you immediate advantage in fashion knowledge! Ha ha!

Yay for stereotyping!
