Fashion! Releasing Your Inner Superhero, etc. [Thursday, May 21, 1st period]

[nocapesomg.livejournal.com]

"Today we will begin the most important part of your costumes!" Edna announced as she wheeled in a hanging rack full of spandex body suits. Oh, you lucky people, you. (Don't ask how that last one snuck in there. It had been a Very Terrible Costume Concept.) "Measurements!"

She ignored any horrified looks or attempts to hide under tables. "Ms. Davis, my assistant," she nodded at Brooke, "and I will be measuring you so that the costumes you create for yourselves will fit! While you are waiting, come up with two preliminary concepts for your ensemble--include your logo from last week on one of them--and then ask a fellow student to critique!"

She made shooing motions. "Go! Scatter! Create!" She pointed at one student at random. "Except you. You get to wear Spandex first, darling."

Like you're about to be stuffed into Spandex.

Get measured!

[nocapesomg.livejournal.com]

Edna or Brooke will be with you in a moment.

Yes, that last choice is a shiny spandex unicorn.

"Absolutely not." Then Jenny realized she might actually need to try reason on the crazy awesome designer lady. "You can measure me all you like, but I'll wear spandex over someone's dead body. I haven't the chest for it."

Arthur was a little busy staring, thank you.

"That," he started, "Looks absolutely ridiculous."

Re: Get measured!

[blondecanary.livejournal.com]

Dinah gulped. "Please be joking."

"You can't hunt in spandex," Jo protested, flailing. "You need leather, or denim, something that'll stand up to horrible sharp pointy teeth!"

Francine, who had worn a spandex suit before, just sort of trembled. "Couldn't we use something--" Less tight. "More breatheable? Like... ooh, burlap!"

Fiona was ready for the spandex and, surprise of surprise, didn't fight it one bit.

She'd lived most of her life in clothing that didn't fit designed by a little old woman who seemed to consider seventies interior decorating to be the holy grail.

She'd wear the spandex and she'd get measured and her clothing would fit. That was fine.

Shilo was staring at the unicorn... thing.

"Um. I'm allergic to Spandex. I think."

Re: Get measured!

Emma didn't object to measuring - that's what tailors were for, after all - but she drew the line at ugly.

"Spandex gives me hives, and is not flattering with my skin tone," Emma said. "Too shiny. What's wrong with leather?"

Claudia had no problem wearing Spandex. She made a beeline for the unicorn outfit (...of course...) and spent several minutes in the changing room adding accessories to the outfit before coming out.

The mane was now braided with ribbons, and she'd added a feather boa and some killer sunglasses. "Tada!"

Re: Get measured!

Momoko was torn - yes she'd have a designer costume, but it would be spandex. Spandex wasn't... pretty. She stepped up to be measured.

"Uhm, is the whole costume going to be made of spandex? Is that all there is? Just a body suit?"

Re: Get measured!

[notyourpawn.livejournal.com]

Alice was staring at the costumes.

"Why on earth should I wear something that ghastly?" she asked.

Create!

[nocapesomg.livejournal.com]

Either before or after your trauma, darlings. Chat amongst yourselves.

Re: Create!

[bitchprince]

Arthur was not going to create anything. He was going to stare at the spandex in morbid fascination. And, quite possibly, bitch complain all over it.

Re: Create!

[blondecanary.livejournal.com]

Dinah's trying to avoid the trauma as loooong as possible. Oh yes. She's got her necklace (http://pics.livejournal.com/blondecanary/pic/00007s8t) from Barbara with the logo/symbol/whatever that she wants to use, and she's paging through various silly (http://pics.livejournal.com/blondecanary/pic/0000qxa9/s320x320) costume (http://pics.livejournal.com/blondecanary/pic/0000rwzw) ideas (http://pics.livejournal.com/blondecanary/pic/0000p3c9/s320x320) while she waits for her turn to be tortured.

Re: Create!

[cutsthestrings.livejournal.com]

All of Fiona's designs just looked like sports clothes. She was thinking function over fashion.

Re: Create!

[17andinfected.livejournal.com]

Shilo was praying to any deities who would listen that she would survive today's class relatively unscathed.

And was digging through her bookbag for her new version of her logo. "Come on, where are you..."

Re: Create!

[icecoldfrost]

Emma still didn't have a logo, but she did doodle out a few designs; both practical and slightly more scandalous.

Re: Create!

[wannabehunter]

Jo quickly sketched out a couple of outfits, they looked strangely similar and oddly like normal clothes.

Re: Create!

[ashockingbitch]

Jenny was aware that rolling into battle in a white suit was pretty nineties. It was time for a change. She agreed with Edna on the 'possibly extremely short' count. Unfortunately, rolling into battle in a Union Jack minidress was pretty sixties.

Maybe something in silver?

Her attempts at design were pretty bad, as the girl hadn't an artistic bone in her body.

Talk to Edna!

[nocapesomg.livejournal.com]

If you must.

Talk to Brooke!

[nocapesomg.livejournal.com]

Probably the better choice.

Re: Talk to Brooke!

[gobrookeyourself]

Brooke looked a little... hm, what's a good adjective for 'omgwtf'? about the clothing choices, and if anyone asked, she'd be happy to assure them that she did not condone this. At all.

OOC

OMG, ya'll. Spandexwear (http://www.spandexwear.com) is a terrifying (and NSFW) place to surf around. All I wanted were Spandex bodysuits! They didn't need to be scary!
