Costumes

I'm feeling lazy and uncertain about packing up (and putting on!) costumes for both evenings for the weekend. Should I bother wearing The Orientalist again for tonight's room parties? Does anyone really care to see it again? Your thoughts, please.

[Poll #1570995]

I suppose if nothing else, wearing The Orientalist a second time might mean I could get some decent photos of it. But is it worth hauling to KC for just that?

Update: Hm. Voting seems to be pretty decisive. Packing up The Orientalist now!

2nd Update: OMG, check out [livejournal.com profile] beatonna's comics for today. The first one? Fucking perfect! [livejournal.com profile] sdemory, this one is especially for you.

steampunk to print

Note: Neither of my steampunk costumes have gears, goggles, bustles, or top hats. So yes, I am feeling a bit smug.

If you take it and don't wear it, no biggie.

If you don't take it and wish you had.. major regret.
Not everyone will have seen it, anyway! and yes, pix!!!

Oh, if I take it, I'm damn well wearing it. I think my biggest issue is space concerns. And general laziness.

1. Dress = garment, slip and maybe stockings

2. Costume = chemise, overcoat, two pairs of stockings, corset, turban materials, jewelry, extra boots, guns, gloves

and no fucking entourage? Dammit woman, why don't they see you need some lackeys for this appearance!

For! Real!

You've been frustrated at your lack of decent pictures in it. You can't get decent pictures in it unless you wear it. Hence, logic dictates unless you plan to haul it out another time for a photo shoot, your best chance of getting decent pictures in it is to wear it and maul the nearest photographer, so the news cameras get pictures of it from many angles.

Man! I'm the only person who voted only bring Saturday's costume. Maybe I didn't have enough backstory, but I'm an ardent proponent of traveling light.

Traveling light isn't an option anyway. I'm already having to pack food for the entire weekend, plus we're bringing a carful of stuff for the auction.

Mrrr. Well then, I suppose one more costume can't hurt anything. It's always different when you're traveling in a car than flying. I guess i really didn't know the backstory!
