fandomhigh | How to Dress Like a Pop Star [Class 1] [Period 3] [5/15]

Class met in the Danger Shop, for various important reasons. One, it gave Vince the ability to manufacture lots and lots of ~~moddable~~ clothes for the students. Two, it meant Vince could have a classroom that looked more like a discotheque with multicolored light up floors and ceiling. Three, it allowed for changing rooms with full length mirrors on three sides.

Vince had his priorities.

"Right!" he declared, once the small (but intimate) class had gathered. It was of note that he wore a black t-shirt, a furry leopard print jacket, red leather trousers, and white boots with 'Vince' bedazzled on them. "Welcome to the first step in becoming absolute fashion icons. I'm Vince Noir, as you probably already knew. There are signed photos for each of you, over on the table there." He gestured.

"I don't really need an introduction, but I'll give you one anyway. I'm magnificent. There, introduction over. Now how about you all tell me a bit about yourselves?"

After the students did their introduction thing, Vince launched into a quick lecture.

"Here's the most important basic lessons you'll get, and they're both really simple. First off, is confidence. You know that story, the one where the Emperor buys himself a really great outfit, but it turns out he's just naked? Well, see, the Emperor got embarrassed, even though he was trying to be on the cutting edge of fashion. If he didn't get embarrassed, carried himself proudly, he could have started an entire new trend. You carry yourself well enough, you can pull off anything."

"The second thing ties in to that. Don't be afraid to take chances. People try to tell you real rules of fashion are just trying to confine things. Fashion is personal. Fashion is finding what works for you. Me, I'm gorgeous. I look great in a suit made of palm fronds. Whether you could pull that off, that's what you're supposed to discover in this class. Which brings us to the first of our weekly amazing activities: New Style time!"

Vince gestured at the racks of ~~moddable~~ clothes.

"Now, you've got a great amount of brilliant tops, bottoms, shoes, accessories, everything. I want you to partner up and help each other embrace a new style. This style will be picked by me, each week. This week, I want you to combine two ideas. First, the raver culture. You know, fluorescent colors, glow-in-the-dark jewelry, and things kept light and breathing so you don't overheat from all the dance. That, combined with pirates. You know, big tricorner hats, peg legs, eyepatches, yo-ho-ho and all that. I expect you to have fun with this, so go ahead and have at it!"

"Oh, and I know there's an odd number of students, so... one of you can volunteer to come to me for help. We'll have great fun."

Grab a Partner and start becoming All-Night Raving Pirates of the S.S. Drum and Bass.

The clothes in the room are all quite moddable.

Vince would be glad to help the odd person out. He was all smiles.

"You know that white skull and crossbones would look pretty cool in a black light."

"With black light, the key is to avoid lots of white," Vince said. "Otherwise, everyone gets to see your stains, which is never good. You know what you need? A little head bandana. Bright pink. That's what you need."

"Really? You think it goes with my complexion?"

"Of course it does," Vince said. "And an eyepatch in white."

"Ooh that sounds neat." Robin agreed. "What about a vest?"

"Stripes," Vince said. "We need to find you stripes."

"Like, Tiger stripes? Or pinstripes?"

"Big stripes. Pirate wide stripes. Black and... neon orange," Vince declared.

For most of the rest Robin had been deferring to Vince's expertise. But this one he'd have agreed with even without that.

"Ooh!" He bounced excitedly and set off to find the items. Which he soon did.

"See, that's exactly it," Vince said. "You'll be the envy of every frog everywhere."

Muppet frogs anyway. "What sort of music best goes with this?"

"Omigod, best ever," Claudia squealed to herself as she pawed through the racks of clothing.

She already had a tricorner hat perched on her head.

Ah, but was it a lime green tricorner hat?

"So, what do you think, should I look for a brightly colored eye-patch?"

"Totally," Claudia decided. "Man, that hat is fierce. I should have looked longer."

"I think you might pull off the lime green better, anyway. Wanna trade?"

"Sure!" Claudia said, grinning. "And you need some super tight leather pants. It's clubby, it's pirate-y, and it'll make you look awesome. I see no down side."

"Uh. Will I be able to walk?"

Priestly generally drifted towards the looser clothes on the bottom, after all.

"...how far?" Claudia asked impishly.

Priestly resisted the urge to facepalm. "I dunno. I think maybe the big baggy raver pants are more my style."

Claudia pouted. "But they don't show off your butt."

Priestly held his hands in the air, weighing the options. "Able to walk and comfortable, showing off my butt. I'd kind of really rather be able to move."
