Whatsits: I don’t own “Daria” or any facet thereof, Mtv/Viacom has that happy
privilege. This is just for fun, blah,
blah, blah. Hey, if they didn’t want fans writing stuff they wouldn’t have
cancelled it then given it to Noggin to butcher.
Author’s Notes: This collection of ficlets were
in response to Mman’s Iron Chef Challenge “Guilty Pleasures”: Pick out any
Daria character, old or young, male or female, and show him or her indulging in
a "guilty pleasure" in the spirit of the fic. The character should be
somewhat secretive about it, and be doing something noticeably (though not
necessarily drastically) out of character.

perl two...

She zipped up her thigh-high leather boots and examined herself in the glare of
cheap fluorescent lights. God, she loved leather.
She picked up her crop and walked out to where her companion was waiting,
garbed in her catholic uniform.
"For once you've made a decent fashion choice." she said. "Now
get on your knees!"
Sandi bowed her head, "Yes, Mistress Brooke."
...maybe not. But I bet you didn't see this one coming...
A few doors down. Same motel:
The top hat and powdered wig joined the rest of the garments
on the floor.
Daria couldn't suppress a predatory smile. President's Day was definitely her
favorite holiday.
Some additional thoughts: Oh, man that last one had
me laughing all day. This was fun.
