Comment:        Re: SHK 14.025 Lovely Garnish

There are two good reasons for Jessica to dress like a boy:

1. The actor was a boy, and would have been more comfortable in boy's
clothing whenever possible.  Especially if he has to climb out of a
window.

2. Changing gender is a particularly effective disguise, I should
think.  Anyone looking for Jessica would be looking for a girl.

Cheers,
Sean.
