Chapter: Story 10: I Dream of Verisimilitude
Welcome to Day 3 of the 2016 Christmas Week of Updates! A new page of IDoJB will come out every day this week! So be sure to come back daily to see how the I Dream of Verisimilitude storyline shapes up.
I’m gonna echo Rodge’s “Daaamn…”, here. Jeanie is rocking that dress.
I would have to agree with you, Jeanie looks hot in that dress…
Yeah, Jean does at least knows how to pull off looking like a hot babe despite still thinking like a bachelor on the inside.
Yelp, Jeanie might not like being a girl, but, if she going to have to be one, she like to look hot girl. Just don’t try to touch her or you will regret it.
Jeanie should have made her dress and her hat the same shade of red.
Jean tends to forget about that fez hat of “hers” being on “her” head. Like a pair of sunglasses.
I’m glad someone remembers that. That’s exactly why the dress and the hat are different shades of red.
I remembered it before my prior comment. I just thought it would have been nice if Jeanie had remembered it as well.
Now since CD is saying that was intentional, I’ll let it go.
The dress IS hot, but I think this is the first time I’ve seen her with jewelry, the necklace and earrings. Are her ear pierced now, or are they clip-ons, I wonder, and is this another step in Jean’s mental transformation?
Ellie, I’m guessing that she just imagines a “look” and poof, she has it, complete with all accessories, including pierced earrings even if her ears weren’t pierced before. Because, well, magic. Instant, effortless, wardrobe changes. So I’m not sure you can credit it to any real change in her attitude, except maybe a bit more attention to details. Now, maybe when she starts conjuring up perfume to dab on…
Jeanie knows what a girl is suppose to look like and what a girl on the arm of Jean suppose to look like and she seem prepared to dress that way to not look odd or out of place. Learning to dress like a proper women and be comfortable with and being self aware of it as a women. Yes, this is part of that gradual slide of Jeanie learning to act and think more like a women. We know that she looked in a mirror and was OK with what she saw.
The problem that going to be coming up is: She hasn’t fully learn to act like one yet.
She should get rid of the crosswise band on the neckline. It cuts her horizontally and disturbs the lines of the outfit. Otherwise, it’s great; her look is very well put together.
She’s trying a different style, then just a open V.
Concur–the bar is a mistake. A lace panel might work better–But less of a Vee would be even better, while ultimately more revealing.
Normally, a bar like that is necessary to prevent “wardrobe malfunctions”. But, given that she’s got magic at her disposal, there’s no need – she could produce clothes that totally defy the laws of physics.
Hm. Come to that, she could make a bundle, selling dresses that magically stay in place without any visible means of support. 😉
Behind all the denile Jean has a whole lot of girl in her. The earrings are cute i hope she forgets about them and ends up keeping them.
I agree. They would be a nice addition to her normal appearance.
I’ll add my vote.
Jeanie’s dressed as Jean’s arm candy. He has a reputation to uphold.
It’s a Black-Tie Affair, and she’s The Lady in Red.
She’s a lady in red, but not the center of attention.
She may be the lady in red. But, knowing Jeanie, she will soon fix the problem about not being the center of attention.
I can see the news caption now. “That world famous Jean in Freelance book reviewer, showed up with a blond spitfire that caused a lot of trouble, see detail below.
Given that Jeanie is trying to be Jean’s arm candy, she’s not going to pull it off very well. She won’t remember that her role, as candy, is to be cute, sexy, empty headed, and in general, an ornament to Jean. She cannot be the center of attention; indeed, she must be seen to admire and even worship him, while he regards her as an afterthought.
She has neglected to brief Rodge in how to act like Jean–she didn’t even allow him to pack a suitcase, and then FORGOT that she hadn’t. She’s treating him like the ornament.
She’s going to forget to know less about her writing than “Jean” does.
Most of all, she’s going to forget to giggle and blush when he kisses or gooses her.
Anyway we can get a better view of Jean?
Yeah, join CD’s Patreon. That’s where full-resolution shots from the comic are given out, now.
I wonder if Jeannie will take the stage and announce that she “created the Jean persona” so as to be taken seriously in a male dominated industry and the award is rightfully hers.
She then also gets part of his life back.
At least until word gets back to her employer… or her family… or Belle…
I will give you two more reason why she can’t do that.
1. Guano see her taking a reward as Jean, he will interrupt it, because, Genie aren’t suppose to do that.
2. Jeanie in the TV series wasn’t photogenic. You could take a pitcher of her and she wouldn’t show up in the picture. If it happens as some girl that happens to assist him or be with him, no big deal. There there to take there pitcher so Jean and not Jeanie. They will scratch there head as to where the girl went and then go on there way.
Okay. First, spoiler: word does get back to Belle in the form of an entire social network devoted to telling all the women of the world what a horrible person Jean Nessman is. It includes photographs of Jean (really Rodge), mostly with a gorgeous brown-haired beauty (Rodge, as “Natalie”) but also mentions that Jean is supposed to be engaged to another woman. It will get even more complicated after that, but not until I Dream of an Escape, the chapter following this one.
Zoe is the daughter of the publisher of the magazine Jean writes for. If anything, the so-far-nameless-editor is a bigger jerk than Jean since he seems to be reconciled to Jean’s treatment of his own daughter. Guess who got Jean his job with the magazine? Jean has rationalized his behavior (whoopee, what a surprise!)
Jeanie couldn’t be photographed in the original series–or could she? I’ve got the whole series on tape, but it’s been awhile since I watched through it all and my cross-indexing mostly went away in a couple of computer crashes. I think the gimmick first appeared when Jeannie was “discovered” by an ambitious Hollywood agent who gave her an extensive screen test with various actors and scenarios. Of course, he was laughed out of Hoilywood when Jeannie didn’t appear at all in her scenes. But I am sure this was before the wedding.
I’m not sure Jeannie didn’t appear in photos before that screen test, though. For instance, there was an episode where Jean duplicated Tony so that he could do his NASA duties on the same day she went with him to Paris for luncheon in a Paris sidewalk café
AHA! But you should all know that the misadventures of our genie aren’t really bound to the TV series but to a fictional version of the series creator, Sidney Sheldon, who started appearing in IDOJB in I Dream of Technicolor. Jeanie’s bottle really isn’t hers; its a relict from Rouyah, banned from the “comfort of her bottle” by the Haji for a really wonky “crime”, and even having the memory of the love of her life erased.
So pretty much any inconsistency from the original can be excused. After all, by the time the series was actually running, the real astronauts had already moved to Houston from Cocoa Beach.
