Sex, Dating, and Self- Confidence [Tuesday]
Today, when the students entered the classroom, they wouldn't find Irene perched on her desk. Nor would they find last week's assortment of art supplies.
No, today the room was filled with racks upon racks of expensiveyet fully moddable clothing. Don't ask where Irene had gotten it all; she had connections for such things, even now.
"The semester's rather flown by, hasn't it?" Irene asked, frowning a little from where she was rearranging a rack of cashmere scarves. "Today, we're going to tackle a huge, huge portion of developing some self-confidence, or maintaining it." She grinned at them, spreading her hands out. "Faking it. And the best way to fake it, in my well-traveled opinion, is by looking confident. Clothes that make you feel comfortable will help, yes -- no one here needs to lace themselves into anything restrictive, or anything like that. But today, I want you to peruse the racks here and see if you can't find something that makes you feel stunning."
"Clothes," she added, straightening her skirt, "are just a tool, yes. But someone who walks with their head high in something well-tailored and sexy -- that's someone who looks confident. And looking confident is half the battle. Now, that's going to mean something different for all of us. You've seen how I dress -- " Irene gestured expansively to herself. "This is what works for me. Maybe you'd feel more confident showing a touch more skin in your every day -- that's fine, if it works for you, though it's always a good idea to be aware of what situation you're dressing for. Maybe you'd feel more at ease in something with much less skin showing -- great for you. The idea here is to look presentable in a way that makes you feel ready to take on the world. So browse, try things on," she waved towards the privacy screens she'd set up in the back of the room, "and feel free to ask questions."

Re: Try on clothes! [12/2]
She paused, thinking about it. "And I'm smaller than a lot of the Hawks." Not to mention too young to actually BE one yet. "So I have to work harder."

If she could fight her way through Rapture, she was confident she could do just about anything. The part where she got stabbed in the gut by a giant drill didn't count.

She looked at Raven with some surprise. "Really? You'd spar with me? I'd like that. We could learn from each other and together."
