Interestingly, Karate Kid would both sleep with her and beat her up!

No Iris Jacobs graemlin? Scandalous!

Don't front. You would have totally tapped that in your single days!

Gah, that hair!
 
Posted by Eryk Davis Ester on :
 
Sheesh! Just because she's not a glamorous rich princess from the future...

Actually, I never liked any of Projectra's hairdo's either.

Sensor Girl's illusion of hair, now that was good hair.

No worse than that mullet-girl who was platonic pals with Johnny Storm for a short while, back when Byrne was writing the book.

I liked her, despite my well-known hatred of mullets.
 
Posted by Dingleberry Damsel on :
 
I'm no fan of mullets either, Iris's hair reminds me of the leading lady in "Attack of the the Eye Creatures."
 
Posted by cleome on :
 
That was more the classic beehive-on-steroids look. This one seems more seasonal, like she plopped a plastic Easter Egg on her head and then her hair grew over it.

I just remember Iris as being a very pushy and quite oblivious schoolteacher from heck!
 
Posted by Dingleberry Damsel on :
 
That's not an Easter Egg, it's a bird dropping! [LOL]

We totally need Sketch Lad's input on this thread!

And disinfectant!

Quetzalcoatl, perhaps?

That's totally a story that Ditko's art could've made convincing!

Here's Iris after she transformed to DIAMONDETH and Karate Kid had to FIGHT her. PATHOS!!!!

Well, that's small. Let me do a little research...
 
Posted by Eryk Davis Ester on :
 
That's so small, Lester wouldn't have even bothered trying to buy Legion membership with her!

Oh, wow. I'm reminded of a cool kid's story where a lonely girl built a "friend" out of broken china, but then had to "break him up" when her Dad got suspicious of all the time she was spending in the kitchen.

Iris better be careful--one more attack on Val in Diamondeth form and Jeckie will break her neck!
 
Posted by lil'rhino on :
 
Nice legs, Robin!
 
Posted by Cobalt Kid on :
 
I wonder if Iris wore a boob window, that might raise Val's "interest" when he comes back to life again?
 
Posted by Jerry on :
 
Do you think he has a thing for freckled boobs?
 
Posted by Kid Quislet on :
 
If only Robin hadn't let go of the Batarang.

BTW, I faced Diamondeth personally years ago when I bought my wife's engagement ring at Kay Jewellers.

BOOB WINDOW!!!!
 
Posted by MLLASH on :
 
Cobie asked for it, he got it...
 
Posted by Fat Cramer on :
 
Iris would have done anything to snare Val's attention.
 
Posted by Cobalt Kid on :
 
If only the boob window existed in the 70's! Iris could have used it to ensnare Val!

Look how groovy and hot Lash made her!
 
Posted by Crymsun on :
 
How did she think she could ever compete with Jeckie??

Iris Jacobs theme song?

I'm extremely flattered!

Well, let's take a look....

This is a short basic outline (SBO) with bangs. Because of the less activated flip at the ends, I'd say she airwaves for that style instead of using rollers, pincurls or a curling iron. She must use a cushion or paddle brush. Obvously, a firm hold spray to keep that flip up.

As for the bangs, I can't tell from the picture if that is her natural fall or if she makes them do that. Assuming she styles them that way, it must be with mousse or gel while wet, clipped in place, then allowed to air dry (probably overnight). If she clipped them properly, it would just require a simple release & comb-out with a touch of hairspray dor hold. Easy!

Now, the bump on top of her hed is a total mystery to me. I'd need to see more pictures of it in order to figure out how she did it. The thing is, it doesn't have distinct borders, it's a more organic shape. Hmmmm... let me get back to that.

Her color is a definite level 8 with LOTS of red with a touch of red-orange. In the picture posted, it looks like she has some irregular gold highlights, put it must be a P'rn'tnng Er'rr. The red color is extremely high maintenance. Did you know that if she lets her new growth (we don't use the term "roots") get to be longer than 1/2", she'll need both a warm zone AND a cool zone touch up. That takes Forever and it's very difficult, plus more expensive. She really needs to ge into the salon every 4 weeks, depending on how fast her hair grows.

I'm sure it's also obvious to everyone that she has to avoid swimming pools and hot tubs. Also, bright sunlight. She should use color support shampoo and conditioner. She should only shampoo once or twice a week max. Some people can't stand that.

Iris wore a Bumpit!!

I love your post Sketch Lad! My 'short back and sides' seems so easy now compared to what poor Iris has to go through!
 
Posted by Set on :
 
I can't believe it, I actually have that comic shown upthread! I used to buy Karate Kid, and I remember Diamondeth, but I'd forgotten that her real name was Iris Jacobs.
 
Posted by MLLASH on :
 
I've got it too, Set!

I don't really see what the problem is here.

Hmm... if I actually had any interest in Legion Lost, I'd suggest that it would be cool for IJ to show up there.

What if Iris got contacts?

The lead singer of KARMIN also sports an "Iris Jacobs". She's bringing it back!
