How to be Awesome | Week 1 | Period 6 | Mon. 7/6

[suit-of-awesome.livejournal.com]

Barney was back. Teaching. It had to be a joke and yet it wasn't. He strode into the Danger Shop like he owned it, blond hair perfect, dark grey suit screaming, 'Why yes, this jacket did cost more than a year's tuition to this school!' With a click of a remote, the room transformed around the class to become a massive department store dressing area with a long covered rack, tables and chairs for students, and a podium for the teacher.

"Today is the first day of the rest of your life," Barney announced, smoothing his tie as he took his position at the podium. "Over the next several weeks, you will be challenged by the most LEGEN- wait for it and I sure hope you're not lactose intolerant because the next word is -DARY workshop to ever grace the halls of Fandom High. Should you value your Awesomeness and ever want to get laid regularly, heed my words, people.” Barney paused, looking pointedly at certain students who had obviously never suited up in their lives.

"The journey to Awesome starts with the ritualistic destruction of all things denim. No more will you wear your lemming-style jeans, your witty t-shirts, or your--" he shuddered visibly "--cargo pants. To be taken seriously you must and I repeat you WILL SUIT UP!" With that exclamation, Barney hit another button on his remote and the covering exploded off of the rack, dramatically uncovering expensive-looking suits in all shapes (yes, even female ones) and sizes.

Pleased with drama, Barney snapped his fingers to regain student attention at his podium. "These suits are yours to keep, and I expect you to suit up for every workshop this session. No exceptions! If you don’t wear a suit to class, you will earn a special seat in the hell that is Fandom detention. I promise you’ll be thanking me for this before the session is over."

"Now, why should you wear a suit outside of class, you ask? That’s simple, people. Any man--or woman-- serious about the art of consistent layage needs to comprehend the following truism: Chicks love suits. Why? Because men look hot in suits. See Example A,” Barney gestured to his own incredibly hot, suit-clad body. “Wear your suit on a date and your date will be awesome, guaranteed." Okay, not always, but he was working on building hope in these fools this week.

"Now lemmings, I want you to pick out a suit and put it on. There are trick suits on the suit rack. Your first challenge is to select a suit that will work for you without making anyone else go blind. Then, I want each of you to introduce yourself, tell us why you’re in this workshop, and give your level of experience with your preference of women or men." Barney paused and looked around the room. "What are you waiting for? SUIT UP!"

He waited a moment, watching the students before calling out, "Oh and you! Yes, you with the face. Too slow to move, join the grad in glasses as her assistant TA!" It was good to be the king. Even of a class like this.

Looking like hell.

Chuck Bass

Well. I still think he looks good.

Lecture [Awesome W1]

[suit-of-awesome.livejournal.com]

React to Barney and his suits and the crazy things he says.

Re: Lecture [Awesome W1]

[rocksthescarf.livejournal.com]

Well, Chuck loved this guy. That was all there was to it. And this was probably a class where he wouldn't have to jack Sam's notes.

He was still gonna ask anyway. It was the principle of the thing.

Harper wasn't listening too intently after the first few minutes. She wasn't sure if this was the class she signed up for and kept re-reading her schedule.

She also wasn't too keen on having to change out of the dress (http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v325/thena8572/wizards/cap00036.jpg) she'd picked out for the first day of workshops.

Yakko was building a house of cards. For the horizonal cards, the back was facing down.

That's right. They were suit up.

Bobby couldn't help but think that, well, actually this guy kinda made a lot of sense.

Re: Lecture [Awesome W1]

So ... this class was about rocking the hell out of a suit, and getting laid?

Elena's first class, and she already loved this school.

As the teacher made his entrance Leto began to frown. The frown deepened as the so-called lecture proceeded. This must be some mistake.

He crossed his arms, not amused.

This guy was kind of awesome in all the right ways. He wasn't that big a fan of suits but he couldn't fault a guy for having an attitude like that and thinking he owned the place.

Eva was much more awake for this class than her first since she was now up on caffeine and nicotine.

That said, she found the lecture highly amusing, especially because she actually knew a couple guys back in Boston like her teacher.

Fiona blinked. And nearly facepalmed as she certainly wasn't-- that is, getting-- why was she in this class?

...though some of the suits were nice. Free clothes!

Re: Lecture [Awesome W1]

Griff was staring.

Staring and hoping that no one ever noticed him in this classroom.

Claudia looked conflicted. Accessorizing a new suit was, of course, dibble, but she had spent a lot of time getting her current outfit--orange mini skirt, paisley vest worn as a shirt, calf-length sandals, hair in a hundred little braids--just right.

Re: Lecture [Awesome W1]

Sam was still a little traumatized from his last experience as a student of Barney Stinson, but he was stubbornly determined to make it through here.

Re: Lecture [Awesome W1]

Prince Edward was not sure he understood entirely, but be far it from him not to appreciate the word awesome!

Re: Lecture [Awesome W1]

[gameknowsgame.livejournal.com]

Blair had to admit she liked a teacher who immediately recognized the sartorial weaknesses of some of the students here. Publically humiliating them about it was a bonus.

Suit Up [Awesome W1]

[suit-of-awesome.livejournal.com]

Find a suit, help a friend, be completely in awe of your assignment.

Re: Suit Up [Awesome W1]

[rocksthescarf.livejournal.com]

Chuck was, naturally, already in a suit so this was one assignment he could skip.

Re: Suit Up [Awesome W1]

[chic-harper.livejournal.com]

Leave it to Harper to find a suit made out of camouflage (http://blog.nola.com/susanlangenhennig/2009/06/medium_colbert.JPG).

Re: Suit Up [Awesome W1]

Yakko looked at the suits. He was a little disappointed that there was a perfectly decent suit in his size fairly small size. He had brought a pair of scissors to act as his own tailor and everything.

Yakko thought about this.

He grabbed a bigger suit and attacked it with a flurry of snipping. After a couple seconds, he was dressed in the newly small (and strangely perfectly tailored) suit. Honestly, he had preferred the other one, but he just really enjoyed attacking things with scissors.

Introductions [Awesome W1]

[suit-of-awesome.livejournal.com]

Again, tell us why you're in the workshop (and make it a good story if you didn't choose to be here), give your level of experience with your preferred sexual objects, and your name. Not that he'll learn it.

Re: Introductions [Awesome W1]

[rocksthescarf.livejournal.com]

"I'm Chuck Bass. I signed up for the workshop because it looked like an easy A." Well it was true. "And I'm extremely successful with both men and women."

No need to hide the fact that he was awesome.

TAs [Awesome W1]

[suit-of-awesome.livejournal.com]

Who are pleased as punch to help out, we're sure.

Re: TAs [Awesome W1]

[notahostage]

Wendy was oh so happy about it, yes.

She also wasn't wearing a suit. Her uniform was much more awesome than a suit.

Barney [Awesome W1]

[suit-of-awesome.livejournal.com]

Who really thinks Fandom has outdone themselves with this group.

OOC [Awesome W1]

[suit-of-awesome.livejournal.com]

Feel free to ping off each other in intros! I am aroooooound!

Re: OOC [Awesome W1]

[gameknowsgame.livejournal.com]

I need a moment to applaud Yakko and "suit up."
