Posted 4 Sep 2009 (edited) Our school has a costume contest. I'm not really going to enter to win, moreso just so I can get a reaction. Choices are: 1 - Suit constructed from soda twelve-pack boxes, with, instead of a helmet for my head, the head of a communist teddy bear, giving the effect that the bear is in control of the suit. Possible cardboard hands controllable by gloves with strings. PROGRESS: I have like one leg made out of ten off-brand square-shaped boxes, and two arms completed. By the time the contest rolls around, I could make like three of the suits, with enough carbonated drink consumption via hanging out with friends. - Pretty much finished, now. We're probably going to spraypaint it. 2 - Improved Companion Cube, with a sturdier, padded design, making it much more durable. Last two attempts were pure cardboard, paint, and duct tape each corner having nothing under them, making them flimsy in the long run. New model will have foamcore padding and an extra layer of cardboard, with more accuracy in terms of painting and designing. For the camera-eye, I will hook up the camera to a 7" LCD battery powered digital photo frame, so I don't have tunnel vision, and will have two pocket speakers on opposite sides of the head, contained within the circular hearts. Also, more helmet-like design, so the cube doesn't shift around on shoulders, and is more fixed. PROGRESS: In the process of getting all the materials together. It's going to take some funds, though. - I've drawn up what dimensions it should have, and I've got the decorative parts planned out. 3 - Woman, with the possibility of a frilly dress and/or makeup. Consensus says "You could totally pull it off". PROGRESS: A few offers for borrowing a corset. I'll leave you to your thinking.

Posted 4 Sep 2009 Be a crossdresser. They can be fun, as well as, it is a daring move. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted 4 Sep 2009 (edited) ... My first choice was The Companion Cube... But no, I'm voting for woman if Saha's getting pictures of it. o: Saha would make a hot woman. Plus, crossdressing's fun. I'd like to do it more often. Oh wait. Edited 4 Sep 2009 by Vio Milanor (see edit history) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted 4 Sep 2009 (edited) I thought so too-- IN REGARDS TO CROCODILE'S STATEMENT. Arcanelord probably left when he saw "Woman". BECAUSE HE CAN'T HANDLE IT. No matter what happens, I will probably get pictures, though. Sahaqiel Edited 4 Sep 2009 by Sahaqiel (see edit history) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted 4 Sep 2009 (edited) Yes mofo, Yes! Oh, Arcanelord... Pffth, can't handle it. >:C EDIT: Who says you need a corset? |D You can be a loli, like my Beryl. c:> Edited 4 Sep 2009 by Vio Milanor (see edit history) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted 4 Sep 2009 Pfft. Anyone can dress up like a woman, but it takes real talent to pull off a companionship-providing cube. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted 4 Sep 2009 But not everyone can pull off dressing as a woman. That being said, some people already mistake me for one. I do admit that the Companion Cube would be a more fun activity to produce. So far, from person-to-person surveys, only one has voted for Communist Bear. I love Communist bear. Another proposed I combined the soda box suit with the Companion Cube, but holy gosh, that would look terrible. Sahaqiel Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted 4 Sep 2009 And yet, the people who fail to pull it off are often the ones who turn the most heads. Am I right, here? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted 4 Sep 2009 (edited) I would say I would turn heads once people figure out it's me. Either way, these are all disguises, and are meant for people to figure out who is in them. Keep in mind, our school requires an ID, even if we can break school uniform standards for the contest.

Posted 4 Sep 2009 Yeah. I've seen some pretty fricking convincing cross-dressing, and it certainly turned everyone's head. In elementary one Halloween, this boy named Riley (Conveniently, an either-gender name) dressed up as a diva. Pink wig, makeup, the works. A parent who was helping really did think he was a girl. Everyone was laughing because we knew him. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted 4 Sep 2009 O: I wouldn't be laughing... That's sexy, Arcanelord. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted 4 Sep 2009 Ohoho... That's lolicon sexy then. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted 4 Sep 2009 (edited) I don't even need a wig. Just a pretty outfit and pigtails. Unrelated, on the day of finals, last year, I walked into my fifth hour classroom with pigtails. One of the two teachers in this teacher-duo-team thing my school has going on looked at me for a bit with an odd face. Then tilted her head and said, "Can I braid your hair?" And I was like, "OK". She put my hair in a couple French braids. I'm not used to an exposed face, so I was embarrassed due to the deep conscious hatred of it, but it was pretty hilarious. I took the final like that, and basically had the braids in until I went home. I hope this paints a more vivid picture as to how people portray my feminism. As in, my teacher offered to braid my hair. Then did it. In class. Oh yeah. I'm pro. Also, Vio, I'm like 5'7"? Would that classify as loli?
