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?"

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. :)

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.

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!"

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."

Buffy smiled. "I'm Buffy. Isn't this the best class ever?" She spotted an image and grabbed her scissors, before showing it to Blair. "Like, depressing, much? (http://pics.livejournal.com/1ordinarygirl/pic/00071xc4/g9)"

"Nice to meet you, Buffy." Blair leaned closer and nodded. "Yeah, she does seem really sad. But at least she's looking at the camera. All the guys in the magazines seem to be looking (http://www.dannysteyn.com/images/male-model-portfolio-019.jpg) off into the distance. What do you think they're all looking at?"

[now with less stupid code!]

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?"

Buffy pondered. "Maybe they're not looking at anything? Maybe they're just scared of the camera?"

"Maybe they're just walking along, looking cool, and someone comes up and forces them to model. They don't want to do it, but The Man makes them." Blair shook his head. "Poor nicely dressed man. He never had a chance."

"That definitely didn't happen to this girl (http://pics.livejournal.com/1ordinarygirl/pic/00072ttr/g9)," Buffy noted. "'Cause that's just way not stylish."

"Whoa." Blair tilted his head a little while looking at the picture. "Is that a frame around her neck? Is that supposed to signify something deep?"

Looking through the clothes, River finally found this (http://www.style.com/slideshows/fashionshows/F2006RTW/ANNASUI/RUNWAY/00540m.jpg) which she decided she liked. Well, it was a bit uncomfortable, and the boots were too big, but it was ok.

River sat down next to Buffy. She too began looking through the magazines, a troubled frown on her face. This was harder than she thought. Simon would probably have found this much easier.

"Look," she said. "This (http://www.karachiplus.com/fashion/br_img/41.jpg) is nice. It looks like something from that movie we saw." She frowned. "I don't think I could wear it though. Inara could."

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.

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).

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.

Buffy leaned over to look. "It does! It's pretty, but I could never wear it. Who's Inara? I don't think I've met her yet."

"Daring," Buffy said, nodding. She sorted through the clothes again, looking a daring costume of her own. She found one and quickly changed into it (http://pics.livejournal.com/1ordinarygirl/pic/00077rhh). This was fun!

"She's a friend. Not from here," River explained. "She's a companion and has a lot of elegant clothes."

River grinned. "Interesting," she said, and changed her boots (http://www.ethanksforthememories.com/Distressed%20leather%20boots%20with%20buckles%20at%20ankles.JPG).
