Thank you for sending this! Yes, an excellent specimen to ponder: how wonderful that this clip is the *opposite* of a striptease where our protagonist is putting her clothes on rather than taking them off. Too, it's interesting how Tempest looks toward the camera the way one might look into a mirror, strutting, posing, etc... and that this stereotypical feminine vanity, when copied by Page, results in one woman acting violently toward her sister.

What do you think?
