Image: All About You || FH Cafeteria || Monday Afternoon

[blonde-elle.livejournal.com]

This week the students need tables. Oh yess. On each table is a stack of magazines, Cosmo, Elle, Glamour, Lucky, YM, GQ, Maxim, and FHM.

Elle is wearing a bright pink suit with black trim. Her hair is pulled back and she is wearing pink framed glasses. She totally looks the part.

"Super, you're here. Ok. This is the image workshop, so before we can really begin, I need you to understand your style, as well as what style you aspire to. I brought in magazines and there are scissors and glue and tag board and markers. I'd like you to spend the first half of the workshop making a collage for yourself. Label things you like and hate, and make sure you add why. Is the shirt too short? The pants to tight? The suit too formal? All these things will help us get together to understand the do's and don'ts of what you are doing now with your appearance.

The second half of the afternoon will be taken up with dress up. I have my digital camera, so boys to the left and girls to the right. There are racks and racks of clothes kindly donated by the Delta Nu sorority and the Sigma Nu fraternity. I want you to try on at least three outfits and we'll add those to the collage next week once I get them printed out. And totally talk about color choices and fit and stuff. Have you ever watched "What you shouldn't dress yourself in?" Today is our own little mini-show.

By the end of the workshop you will understand why you dress the way you do, why others dress the way they do, and what to wear when. But the most important thing about any fashion is having the attitude to pull it off. I'm sure that's how those British ladies get away with some of those hats at weddings. What are those about, anyhow?"

Collage Making

[blonde-elle.livejournal.com]

Feel free to talk, and linkage to good and bad clothes are love.

Buffy was pretty sure this was heaven. She grabbed a pile of magazines and went to get updated on what's hot in 2006. And make collages, of course.

Blair grabbed a few magazines and took a seat next to Buffy. "Hey there, man. I'm Blair, I don't think we've met."

"Oooh, yours is fantastic! You're, like, already a fashionista, huh?" Elle asked as she peered over Buffy's shoulder now that the mun is off work.

Sawyer grabbed a few magazines and began cutting. It was obvious what he liked: jeans and plaid button up shirts. Compared to the hate for anything too girly.

"Good dichotomy, Sawyer." she chirped, "Consider for a moment why you hate some of those outfits."

Re: Collage Making

Fry dropped down into a chair next to Sawyer and grabbed some magazines. "Oooh coupons!"

James was rather enjoying himself, grabbing a few magazines from every walk of life he could find and cropping out pictures of anything from sleek school uniforms (http://pics.livejournal.com/rocketbitch/pic/00006rpd) to long jackets (http://pics.livejournal.com/rocketbitch/pic/00004wrq). Some clippings of note were perhaps the assorted advertisements, including such characters as Marie Antoinette (http://pics.livejournal.com/rocketbitch/pic/00002rhh), a sock puppet (http://pics.livejournal.com/rocketbitch/pic/000036xx) with a cigar, and Little Bo Peep (http://pics.livejournal.com/rocketbitch/pic/00005cfy).

Xander grabbed some magazines and started making his collage. His likes, strangely enough, gravitated towards greens. His dislikes? Purple. He kind of hated the Rock Porium uniforms.

Elle looked over James' shoulder to check his collage, but there were simply no words.

So she pointed. And maybe squeaked.

Gwynn signed in and started flipping through the magazines and her jaw jjust abut hit the table when she saw some of the clothing that the women were wearing.

"By the crown of Phillip!"

Re: Collage Making

[blonde-elle.livejournal.com]

"Oh, don't be surprised. That's haute couture and nobody really wears that except for models." she explained.

Re: Collage Making

Fry flicked through a bunch of magazines and came up with things he liked.

Jeans (http://datapacks.com/CW_Coupons/cw2/Assets/product_full/guysJeans.jpg), t-shirts (http://www.swagshop.com/products/images/PL30101.jpg), jackets (http://www.alverno.edu/images/bookstoreitems/red_jacket.jpg) and parachute pants (http://images.amazon.com/images/P/B0006MR4G0.01-A3O0A8H3IVTQPL._AA260_SCLZZZZZZZ_.jpg).

Dress Up BOYS

Describe or link to images. Asking for help is ok, too.

Re: Dress Up BOYS

[lovechildblair.livejournal.com]

Blair searched until he found a shirt that he liked (http://site.hawaiianoutpost.com/images/photogallery/black-hawaiian-shirt.jpg) and tried it on. It was darker than most of his hawaiian shirts, but he was pretty sure that the black color gave it a sophisticated air. Walking out to model it, he bounced. "So, what do you think?"

Re: Dress Up BOYS

[conathon.livejournal.com]

It took Sawyer a while until he found what he liked (http://www.josh-holloway.com/gallery/albums/appearances/lost%20s2%20premiere%20afterparty%2014-9-05/hq014.jpg) in the racks for the boys. This was comfortable.

Re: Dress Up BOYS

[rocketbitch.livejournal.com]

It took James a while before he found an outfit that he actually liked the look of, so he tried it on.

He wasn't disappointed, either. Nobody would recognize him if he was wearing this! (http://pics.livejournal.com/rocketbitch/pic/00007wgp)

Re: Dress Up BOYS

[thenamesxander.livejournal.com]

Xander eventually found some black cargo pants that fit, as well as a dark-green t-shirt and a yellow plaid shirt that he wore unbuttoned over top of it.

Re: Dress Up BOYS

[mmmanchovies.livejournal.com]

For a change, Fry went with something purple (http://www.gotfuturama.com/Multimedia/FrameGrabs/2ACV04/Grabs/pic00100.jpg).

Dress Up GIRLS

Re: Dress Up GIRLS

[1ordinarygirl.livejournal.com]

Buffy rummaged through the collection of clothes curiously. She paused when she found a black top and giggled. "Oh, I'm so trying this one (http://pics.livejournal.com/1ordinarygirl/pic/0007661k) on!"

Re: Dress Up GIRLS

[notafairmaiden.livejournal.com]

Gwynn found this (http://pics.livejournal.com/notafairmaiden/pic/00002c6z) and tried it on. She kind of liked it.

Elle

[blonde-elle.livejournal.com]

In case you need something specific.

OOC

[blonde-elle.livejournal.com]

Because all the cool rats do it.

Re: OOC

[notafairmaiden.livejournal.com]

I'll be tagging Gwynn in here to do things after 2 pm EST as I will have way too much fun with my so confused girl in this class and thus would get fired from my job. :)
