Lord Voldemort may look menacing and like pure evil incarnate, but, as it turns out, he has a soft spot for frilly pretty things. Ralph Fiennes, who plays the dark lord in the Harry Potter films, appeared on the Graham Norton Show this week and revealed that underneath all the “flowing silky stuff” he wore on the silver screen, some unlikely lingerie lurked underneath.”I had these tights on underneath, and they were ladies’ tights,” Fiennes told the audience. “What happened was, the tights used to work their way down, so the gusset of the tights was sort of around my knees, so I couldn’t walk as elegantly as I would like as Voldemort. So eventually I said to the dresser—he’s called Neil, he’s very sweet, he always had his head up my skirt trying to adjust things—would he mind cutting them off so I had a garter belt. So for more of Harry Potter, underneath the robes, I had very nice garter belts.”
You may never look at pure evil the same way again.

Blame it on Dita, although she herself is blameless and can do no wrong: she was, after all, instrumental in making burlesque a worldwide trend, and in bringing rétro accessories to the mainstream. Or maybe it’s Amanda Palmer’s fault: her Dresden Dolls look, a cross between The Rocky Horror Picture Show and Cabaret, looks great on her but is really hard to replicate. However, these days you can’t move for the aspiring pin-ups and Columbia replicants popping up everywhere, so it’s hardly surprising that garter belts (real, or trompe-l’oeil) have made a big comeback.
On the plus side, garter belts look good on most women, especially those with curves, as the garment itself was designed for softer figures. A garter belt with stockings can sexy, especially when worn under skirts and not visible to the naked eye. The trouble starts when people wear garter belts as outerwear, which, our dear friends, looks a tad ridiculous outside of a fashion shoot or a Taylor Momsen gig (is she still making music? She is, apparently).
For some reason, every other season brings about the renaissance of the brothel aesthetic, of which garter belts are an essential part. Garters and stockings are are a visual shorthand for sexual availability, and also for a certain impropriety: they look good, but they’re also throwbacks to an era when women were expected to be, above all, seductive. Nothing says “Look at me, I’m a proper female!” like slightly uncomfortable, outdated pieces of lingerie worn with uncomfortable shoes and uncomfortable clothing that force you to sit straight, never run, never do anything more demanding than stand around and look great.
Garter belts. They won’t go away. But sometimes, just sometimes, we wish they would remain out of sight.

Forget Panty & Stocking; this vile concoction, from the usually-interesting folks at Gainax, should be called The Great Waste. Never has so much talent and imagination been squandered on something so worthless. It’s the kind of show you want very badly to encourage: fearlessly different, madly inventive. But it goes so very, very wrong. If you must watch, plan carefully. It’s a real liability having to walk around for days with a convulsive grimace stuck on your face.
At its best Panty & Stocking is a derivative bore. At its worst it’s a stomach-turning feast of grossness—but swathed in a cartoon surface of such demented energy that you want to just lose yourself in its overflowing insanity. The show looks and acts like a Cartoon Network production on a particularly manic acid trip. Animated by the FLCL side of Gainax and backed by a formidable team of assistant directors (including, among others, restless experimenter Osamu Kobayashi), the show is a wonder of crazed color and mad movement. Its lines are square and chunky, its animation often deliberately crude, and its energy level set somewhere between nuclear meltdown and supernova. The show is an orgiastic explosion of hyperkinetic eye-candy. Blink and you’ll miss a wacko visual invention; let your attention wander and you may never get your bearings again.
Unfortunately, most of the time all of that virtuoso madness is impossible to enjoy. The series is clearly intended as a Gainaxish take on envelope-pushing American comedies. It wears its influences on its sleeve, co-opting Invader Zim’s Gir for Panty and Stocking’s mascot character, bringing in Ren and Stimpy as a married Ghost couple, and using South Park-styled cutouts in its jokes. But it has no understanding of what made any of those shows great. It apes the form—the bodily fluids, the deliberately unsympathetic characters, the flouting of taste and propriety—with no concept of how the form yields humor. There’s no comedic logic to its transgressions; it just does hideous things because, well, that’s what gross-out comedies do, right? Its humor is painfully self-conscious, and curiously lifeless for how energetic it is.
And without the comedic payoff, the show’s push to defy good taste means that it’s just, well, tasteless. There isn’t a fluid in the human body that doesn’t splatter the screen at some point, usually during an episode devoted to that particular fluid. The very first episode is about a feces-monster. It ends, quite naturally, with the entire city drenched in poo. There’s an episode about a booger ghost who starts a nose-picking fad. (And who also propels his zeppelin with nosebleeds. Two fluids in one episode. Score!) It ends with Stocking jamming a giant booger into the moon’s nose, causing it to sneeze all over Daten City. And then there’s the sperm episode, in which the grudges of wasted sperm form little sperm Ghosts armed with leaky penis-guns. We won’t speak of the vomit episode. Toilets, urinals, sewer pipes, used condoms, and sleazy porn are also recurring motifs. And that’s just a sampler. Garterbelt turns out to be a bondage-loving pederast. (Why? Who knows?) One episode has Brief—a lovelorn nerd who follows Panty around—give anal birth to a full-grown Panty and Stocking. The finale involves Panty regenerating her hymen and trying to lose her virginity again.
Don’t wait for some of that quality Gainax writing to come galloping to your rescue either. The show is essentially the world’s filthiest take on magical girls. Panty and Stocking fight a monster per episode, collect coins called Heavens (to earn their way back to heaven), and cycle endlessly through their established behavior patterns. The episodes are formulaic, the story directionless, and as for the girls themselves, they’re self-centered sociopaths whose main distinguishing features are their appetites: Stocking’s for sweets, and Panty’s for sex. Although to be fair, their sociopathy does take different forms. Panty is crass and openly violent, Stocking sarcastically heartless.
To be fair to the show too, it does make a laudable effort to mix things up. One episode is a game show where Panty and Stocking are tried for murder American Idol-style. The sperm episode begins as a military movie that only slowly reveals itself as a metaphor for the tribulations of spermatozoa. Some episodes even shoot for semi-real emotions (the Romeo + Juliet half of the finale) and others try radical stylistic experiments (the vomit episode, the weird Hee-Haw half of the finale). Ultimately, though, each episode is like a new and novel variety of animal poop: you can admire the variety in shape and texture and odor, but they’re still unpleasant.
If anything, Funimation ramps up the show’s already staggering level of vulgarity. The characters are nastier, more poisonous, and given to inventive streams of invective. And weirdly enough, it helps. The range and flexibility of the cursing is sometimes very funny, and…
