| "Don't know why there's no sun up in the sky" |
| As Lori Lemaris diligently practiced pin-up poses, she nonchalantly dropped the bombshell that Clark had proposed to her back during their college days. This has always been one of the true identifying characteristics of most of Clark's ex-girlfriends. They have the uncanny ability to innocently drive a knife through Lois' heart and into Clark's back simultaneously. It also illustrates how very little Clark ever actually told Lois. |
| Another characteristic is
that these women all know Clark's secret. Lois must feel
as if she was the last to know. Also, there was something
of an ongoing madonna-whore complex played out in the
comics. Lois had to dress conservatively as the serious
girlfriend. All others, like Lori, dressed as though Pam
Anderson was their fashion consultant. When Lori was shown in flashback during her romance with Clark in college (1986 comic), she was depicted as pretty, but not a sexual fantasy figure. In fact, the romance was chaste in the extreme because she was all mermaid in those days and Clark had no idea. Lori kept her lower torso covered by a blanket as she sat in a wheelchair as her secret identity. However, when she rose like Venus from the sea for the broken engagement arc, she was a hottie rivaling Wonder Woman. |

| No one can say that Lori Lemaris was the ideal houseguest. Not only did Lois give up her privacy, open her home and wardrobe to Lori, but Lori paid back all of Lois' generosity by coming on to her fiancé. Likewise, no one can say that Superman was the ideal fiancé, because sadly, he obviously was not. |
