Well, if hair is immune being animal matter, then Leather too should be immune from consumption.
Metal is a different consideration.

Well, wool is hair, so it is not surprising that clothes-eating nanites would digest any covering hairs too...

Wow
Wow, a much more creative outfit than "er, a corset I guess" which is all I could think of. ;) I could still see it being worn by a normal person with a bit of modification (and the optional skirt).
But what really strikes me about this drawing isn't the outfit, it's her expression. There's a hint of disbelief and embarrassment there, but she also looks genuinely much happier than in the previous one. Her hands (and smile) give the impression that she's having to force herself from trying to touch.
I noticed every nanite-affected girl so far has been hairless in certain areas. Is that an effect of the nanites?

Love the pic, and the stories are great fun too!

Full Disclosure
Full Disclosure: I just really liked the pun "The Naked Truth" as a name of a TV show with a permanently exposed hostess. ;)

Thoughts
The speed of the goo wasn't important (in a way, having the goo be somewhat slow moving and the girl still unable to change her fate is better - I think I might change it), I just liked the idea of some girl having two lives, and never quite knowing exactly when she'd be forced to switch between them like this. (I have a mental list of criteria for when her nanites' pre-programmed changes occur, I'll put that in the wiki someplace.)

Oh my!
Oh my gosh. I'm stunned. Thank you so much Grigbertz. :) I take it you enjoyed the idea?

Cable TV
As for our intrepid reporter turned Cable TV personality... How about the name Natalie? As in "Natalie the Naturist, host of the world's most adventurous late night talk show, 'The Naked Truth'." I picture it being something like a cross between "The Daily Show" and "Late Night with David Letterman." ;) Well, anyway, just an amusing thought.

Re: FAQ
Glad to see the FAQ is incoming. Mostly because it means your muse has really struck gold this time. :D
Hm. Removal of the nanites and their benefits... does this mean that it's not just what amounts to a bikini of clothes dissolving goo, but the full range of enhancements (immunity to aging / hunger / etc) that the Receptor girls get? Just without the restraints? That would be a sure fire way to give her incite to the girls' condition.

Re: come uppance
As far as the aliens are concerned, this is not a matter of comeuppance or punishment. Those things are practised only by less enlightened cultures.
The reporter was simply given the benefit of a free learning experience, initially intended to be temporary.
Some considered the planned withdrawal of her nanites and their many benefits a cruel punishment in itself. Being big softies (literally), they eventually began to take a liking to her and everybody was overjoyed to be able to reward her with permanent nanites.
As for the internet trolls...Let's leave those for the Daleks.
I'll try to publish an FAQ as soon as possible :)
