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

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?"

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?"

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.

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)

Buffy happened to glance over to the boys' section just then, and was impressed by the cojones of the guy.

Yep. James was certainly pleased with the outfit. So muchso that he even struck a few poses for the lady that he noticed glancing his way.

Lip curl. Pelvic thrust. Uh-huh. Yeah. All shook up.

...

Okay, time to find something else to wear.

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.

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