Fashion! Etc., Etc. [Thursday, May 29, 1st period]

"Capes!" Edna snapped as she stalked into the Danger Shop. "There will be no capes in this class. Capes get snagged on missiles and sucked into vortexes and pulled into jet engines! Almost as bad as capes are shoddy materials such as polyester blends and leggings as pants or jeans under dresses! If your legs are that hideous, wear a pantsuit. It is not that difficult. Peh. Today you will present your designs to the class--you have ten minutes to erase any capes--and after we have decided what needs to be changed, you will beginning making your costumes! Next week, we will try them on and decide what needs to be changed."

Edna pulled up a chair and pointed to a student at random. "You. Begin."

People? Critique! Say something's too pink! The lines are unflattering! It needs more sparkles! Whatever!

Dinah's (http://pics.livejournal.com/blondecanary/pic/0000qxa9) sketches (http://pics.livejournal.com/blondecanary/pic/0000tc6e) owe a lot to Photoshop and searching for pictures of superheroines online. Hey, at least they have yellow in them, like they're supposed to.

Edna tapped her pen against her lips. "I think maybe the costume with the pants," she said. "Less waxing, darling."

Dinah stared at the sketch, eyes wide. "Whoa. Um. Good call. I didn't even think of that." She cleared her throat and flipped back to the other, nodding carefully, and wondering if Wonder Woman waxed? "Maybe some superheroines have no body hair at all?"

"I've certainly never asked," Edna replied.

Fiona's sketch (http://i40.tinypic.com/w6yqlj.png) was, she hoped, at least passable. She'd added her symbol on the belt as an afterthought but she wasn't married to it or anything.

"Why does your costume have only one arm covered?" Edna asked.

She looked down and winced.

"It looked like too much black without it. And I didn't like adding blue there.

"Is that wrong?"

"Do you like having one arm fall off due to frostbite in February?" Edna asked.

Claudia's sketch was bright, formfitting, and red (http://www.milanoo.com/upload/products/2009/200901/20090114023717_2_F420.jpg). Very, very red. She'd added a stylized butterfly to the front of it and was thinking of adding more glitter.

Edna rubbed the bridge of her nose. "You'd like a mask that covers your entire face?" she asked. "Even with the terrible mask hair that will ensue?"

"Omigod I didn't think about mask hair!" Claudia gasped.

Jo's outfit bore a strong resemblance to something that wouldn't look too out of place in a bar or roadhouse.

She'd claim it was an anti-hero/stealth outfit if she had to.

Edna peered at the sketches. "Are those jeans?" she asked suspiciously.

"Of course not," Jo replied. "They're just cut to look like jeans, so they're less conspicuous when you're not heroing."

They were totally jeans.

Jenny's drawing ~~didn't have a link~~ depicted a silver minidress with a high neckline and jagged gold 'lightning bolts' which would also serve to disguise Jenny's pitiful sewing skillz.

"I think you can probably take the skirt up another inch or so without having to resort to unflattering matching superhero underwear," Edna mused.

"I don't want to risk having to wear spanky pants," Jenny agreed. "Those are just...no."

If Francine could actually draw, her sketch would have looked something like this. Since ahahaha no, it looked a little more like this.

Well of course she could draw cupcakes.

"That is very...pink," Edna offered.

Francine nodded. "'Cause I was thinking sugar? Pink and white frosting?" Also she looked not like a whale in pink, but she decided not to voice that reasoning.

What Arthur finally ponied up in very, very sketchy sketches really only communicated two things:

1) That he was fundamentally incapable of colour-coordinating;
2) That yes, he was Arthur fucking Pendragon and he could put chainmail on anything.

Bitches.

Edna~~'s mun was dying~~ blinked. "Why do you have a belt with nothing hanging from it?" she finally asked. "The pants are certainly not going anywhere."

Possibly ever.

"I can't exactly paste my sword to my leg now, can I?" Arthur asked, raising an imperious eyebrow at her.

He was starting to interpret this particular line of classes as a test of his endurance.
