Fashion: Dress the sidekick!

[best-bang-yet.livejournal.com]

All right kids, today's class is going to have some serious cross-curricular action. After some lengthy try-outs, bugofjustice, our resident man-bug...beetle...thing, has picked a moving target sidekick. He's asked us to design the outfit.

This is the hostage in training we're going to be humiliating dressing:



Kind of scrawny for a sidekick, but I guess they fling easier that way.

Design deal is same as before. You don't design the outfit for yourself, you design it for your partner. I guess these means the boys are gonna be dabbling in a little cross-dressing, but that was bound to happen sooner than later. This is fandom, as far as we're concerned, you're all in denial anyway. If you have to wear heals, you better work it. Do you think I complain when I have to wear hells? Frack no! I give it gusto, and make every woman in the room wish they had my legs.

Keep in mind that you are designing an outfit that is going to be worn by a tiny teenage girl. Also keep in mind a few rules of thumb about sidekicks:

1. They are, above all else, distractions. Keep the color bright.
2. They rarely have powers of their own. Build a few into the suit if you can. But keep the little weapons ban in mind. Defensive only. I swear, if you get me in trouble with Principal Conner, I'll blow up this planet myself. Sass that?
3. Comics code authority. Stick to the code man, stick to the code. If I see a nipple, you lose it.

Projects are due before next class. Work on them here, and I'll have a thread up next week for final presentations.

Anyone who skips my class joins Lana Lang in detention. And she's a crier.

A few more things:

1. Quinn Morgendorfer still owes me a 100 word essay about why I'm the cooler than her grandmother. It should be hagro biscuits to write it, given all you've got to work with. So hop on that, will you? If I don't get it by Monday, it's detention.

2. Given that Buffy Summers isn't allowed within a hundred feet of a JA member without getting detention, I'll waive the recommendation letter. You can stay in class, but you've got a detention for skipping class last week. Lose-lose situation, but you can't beat the irony.

3. As you can tell by the assignment, things worked out so that I don’t have to partner up with a student. Paige Matthews and Buffy Summers are still paired up, and Eddie Scissorhands and that Bagos kid are now a match made in testi-free heaven. I’m placing bets on when they first make out

*Plops down in the hippest manner possible, and waits to be entertained*

"Designing an outfit for Gilmore, eh? Great."

*Rolls eyes*

"What was that?"

[other-logan.livejournal.com]

"What?"

[lane-drums.livejournal.com]

"That whole eye-roll attitude thing. What was that about?"

*Decides it's not worth fighting about*

"Nothing, alright? I'm sorry if my facial expressions offended you. Can we just work on the damn project?"

*is still testy*

"Fine."

*Starts drawing designs and laughs at the thought of Logan dressed up in a girl-sidekick outfit*

Barbossa begins his design. It's a bit Batgirl, a little She-Hulk, and a lot pink.

He looks around for Quinn.

*Paige makes a note of what she has to do* Well I guess the pvc and metal top I have could come in use again *she mutters to herself*

[best-bang-yet.livejournal.com]

They should really just hand those out at enrollment, ya know?

*Paige smiles* Luckily I brought my own, *she blushes slightly*

*hands in essay*

"Mr. Zaphod Beeblebrox is cooler than my grandmother because he is a hoopy frood, even though we haven't learned what a hoopy frood is yet. He has a definite sense of style and my grandmother would never have me design a space bondage pirate outfit for an actual pirate. Also, Mr. Zaphod Beeblebrox is cooler than my grandmother because he is alive. And my grandmother is dead. Very very very dead. I bet they buried her in the worst outfit EVER, because my mom never really liked her. And also, Mr. Zaphod Beeblebrox has two heads. Grandma didn't. The end."

Already hard at work on this week's project.

*smiles at her partner, holds up a copy of his rough sketch*

What d'ya think? Too pink?

[sooo_cute]

I like pink. But that is... very pink.

[OOC: It's such a great school community we have here. One mad scheme by a professor leads to a class in another professor's class, all with a poor student's dignity hanging in the balance. I love this school!]

On Rory? I think it'd be wonderful. As for myself I'm thinking short shorts and knee high boots.

[pure-blooddraco.livejournal.com]

...I meant my design. Not personal-wear.

[best-bang-yet.livejournal.com]

Hey kid, whatever you need to tell yourself.

*Paige over hears this entire conversation and is quietly laughing to herself while drawing an outfit largely made off leather and metal*

Rory knocks hesitantly on the classroom door.

"Um, Mr....sir? May I have final costume approval? Because I am not a fan of liquid latex, personally."

[oatmanspatient.livejournal.com]

[OOC but IC: *Debates whether to allow Rory to got to Homecoming as Grunge!Rory or LiquidLatex!Rory.*]

[auroryborealis.livejournal.com]

[ooc but ic: No. Bad enough it's Grunge!Rory. And I may end up having to wear the liquid latex anyway!]

[oatmanspatient.livejournal.com]

[OOC: So have you picked out a name, or are you just sticking with "Sidekick Girl"]

[auroryborealis.livejournal.com]

[ooc but amazingly ic: Not yet. There's always "Rory, the [Gilmore] Girl Wonder," as suggested by the Tick awhile back, but it's long. So not yet. That can be another class's assignment!]

[OOC: Hmmmm....

Java Junkie
Caffiene Kid
Ronald
The Bookworm Kid

Yeah... I got nothin'

[ooc: I like all of them except for Java Junkie, just because that's what L/L shippers are called, and while I do ship that way, t'would be weird for Rory. Or for me writing as Rory.]

[best-bang-yet.livejournal.com]

Why? You want something with nipples?

Let me tell you kid, that's pretty gross. No way. Consider that idea vetoed.

[auroryborealis.livejournal.com]

"No, no...I just...want it to be tasteful?"

[best-bang-yet.livejournal.com]

That's what the code's for, no worries.
