Indeed, it seems to be a positive advantage for Cleo that she arrived in town au naturel. (It would be that way in any sensible community but, you know, people aren’t always sensible.)

What a pleasant place, that no one seems to much mind, or even really notice, that Cleo has arrived naked as a newborn babe.

A rescuer! Though perhaps not exactly of the kind one expects in this sort of narrative…

December is here, and it is time to begin Cleo Mount’s account of her adventure abroad. And Lon really comes up with a corker of a cover, something straight out of the classic horror-movie promotion poster (but better, ‘cuz there’s more nudity!). Can things really be that perilous for Cloe? Read the chapter that follows this month and find out…

Since it’s the way things work in the Gnosis College world, Cleo and Tondelayo find themselves in peril, and so naturally I had Dark Vanessa do an illustration of it.
You’ll have to read the story to find out how these lovelies got into this situation and, perhaps more to the point, whether they’ll get out of it.

Cleo Mount, in the second Study Abroad story, makes a very loyal friend named Tondelayo, and both of them have character designs as well. Cleo:
Eat your heart out, Pam Grier! and Tondelayo:
That loincloth is as much as Tondelayo ever wears, and I hope that makes you look forward to the story.

The linguistic appropriateness of a name like “Tondelayo” for a young woman from a bumiputera group somewhere on Borneo can certainly be questioned (although we should note that she tells us that it is not her real name). But I wanted a tribute to a particular steamy namesake, the character played by Hedy Lamarr in White Cargo (1942).
Hedy has gotten tributes in the Gnosis College world before, and she well deserves it. In Ecstasy (1933) not only did she do a very bold nude scene:
but she also created what might well have been the first depiction of female orgasm in a “mainstream” movie.
But were it just for those things alone Hedy might not deserve the multiple tributes. What really puts her over the top is that in 1942 she, together with bad-boy composer George Antheil, took out one of the first patents for spread-spectrum radio communications — the technology your mobile phone uses. (They were supporting the war effort by trying to create a torpedo that could be guided by wireless transmissions.) The government took the patent and sat on it, but at least in 1997 the Electronic Frontier Foundation gave Hedy a special award in recognition of her pioneering effort.
I mean, can you think of any Hollywood sex symbol working today who you could see as an engineer? Talk about deserving tribute from Erotic Mad Science!
And never forget — the sexiest organ a woman has…is her brain.
