Fashion Show! [Community Center, evening]

[rilla-myrilla.livejournal.com]

The community center had been decorated (glitterified), the models were probably backstage by now either looking fabulous or questioning their life choices, and once everyone was ready there were two emcees taking the stage.

Rilla was still not wild about public speaking when it wasn’t over the radio (there, no one could stare at her), and so she said a quick prayer that she wouldn’t lisp too terribly. The poor starving Belgians were counting on her efforts here!

“Hello,” she said with a tight, nervous smile, “and welcome to the first annual--” things sounded better when they could become annual events, right? “--Kappa Delta Gremlin Fashion Show!”

After waiting for any applause- and there had better be applause, it was only polite- Annie continued, "Tonight you're going to see members of the sorority, fraternity and Pride show off some fashions, and help raise money for the Red Cross to help people all the way back in 1915!" Which probably wasn't going to create some weird time paradox, right? They were being helpful. And retro. Retro-ly helpful.

Rilla waited for that applause to die down before concluding, “And tho--” bad word. BAD WORDS THAT RILLA DIDN’T EVEN THINK FOR THE POORLY TIMED LISPING RIGHT NOW, GOD, “--without further ado,” or any other words with s, if she could help it, “our first model!”

Backstage!

[rilla-myrilla.livejournal.com]

Put final touches on hair and make-up! Try to figure out if you're wearing some of the stranger outfits the right way around!

Stacey had a couple things to choose from in case she changed her mind at the last second, and there was one (http://gofugyourself.com/fug_or_fab_blake_lively0707-07-2010) she kept going back to because the description was fitting. But no, that wasn't exactly worthy of a fashion show.

That didn't mean she wasn't still thinking about going off the beaten path there even as she touched up her makeup.

It was a little (okay, a lot) different from her normal uptown prep look, but Quinn was happy with what was staring back at her (http://cdn.buzznet.com/media-cdn/jj1/2011/12/agron-nylon/dianna-agron-nylon-january-2012-01.jpg) once she was in full Edie Sedgwick drag. For one, the slicked-back hair and heavy eyeliner made her eyes look huge.

"I need to start wearing more vintage," she mused to no one in particular. "Maybe not the fake fur, though."

The nice thing about being a guy was that Billy didn't have to worry about hair and makeup. At least, he assumed he didn't have to worry about hair and makeup. If anyone came near him with eyeliner, they might be in trouble.

Seifer sat back and let the makeup girls do their thing, and tried not to growl every time she started talking about mascara.

Hanna was touching up her hair and makeup before it was her turn, pleased with the outfit she was going to wear. She was going to be positive and try not to think about her bad luck with fashion shows in the past.

Petra flicked through the racks, rejecting a really unflattering jumpsuit, tweed figure skating costume, and an untailored gold lame sack before pulling out an outfit and declaring, "Okay, this I can work with."

She would never wear it as-is but the pieces had potential...

Audience!

[rilla-myrilla.livejournal.com]

After paying your terribly reasonable cover charge, make yourself at home here on the super-comfy folding chairs and start up a conversation!

Re: Audience!

There was a definite bright side to not joining any clubs at all. When three of them teamed up, Bruce was had no obligation other than to sit down, support any friends who might be up on stage, and do his part for charity.

And maybe he gave an extra donation beyond the cover charge. He didn't think the starving Belgians would object to a little extra money, paradox be damned.

It was a fashion show. Even though it wasn't exactly New York Fashion Week, of course Jeremy was here.

And feeling right at home.

Juliet thought about rejoining the sorority for a week for modeling purposes, but decided a better place for her was in the audience. She was dressed to impress and sitting by her brother, ready to take photos of any looks worth stealing.

Remembering one fashion show that had had stuck a Winchester in a tutu or something, Jaye was totally here. Without popcorn, though.

She did have gummi bears, though.

Ryan didn't really pay attention to fashion, but she was a sucker for donating to good causes. Now that she'd made her contribution, she was going to look around and wonder how long she would have to stay. But she would definitely stick around if anyone struck up a conversation with her.

Catwalk!

[rilla-myrilla.livejournal.com]

If you're a member of the sorority, the fraternity or Pride, you are welcome to find a terrifying picture of your PB and use it to do a little turn on the catwalk. Annie and Rilla will do their very best to describe what you're wearing.

Re: Catwalk!

[ihavediabetes.livejournal.com]

Apparently turning fifteen yesterday had given Stacey the confidence to wear something that totally should have been longer (http://cdn02.cdn.gofugyourself.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/05/blakelively_113899910-419x599.jpg), Anastasia Elizabeth you are onstage.

But being sophisticated and also having spent a weekend competing on America's Next Top Model meant her walk was really good. Even in heels!

Ben wasn't at all sure about the suit he was in and he was even less sure about walking down the catwalk, but he didn't trip and fall on his head, so he was counting it as a win.

Tara had the worst time finding a shirt that actually covered everything she thought a shirt would cover, but she thought her skirt was pretty awesome. And apparently going insane and thinking she was a model that one time had paid off: She made it down the runway without too badly embarrassing herself.

Re: Catwalk!

[chief-cheerio.livejournal.com]

Quinn (http://cdn.buzznet.com/media-cdn/jj1/2011/12/agron-nylon/dianna-agron-nylon-january-2012-01.jpg) walked down the runway like she owned it.

So what if she was only five foot five? Today, she was a superstar.

Re: Catwalk!

[knight-fatali.livejournal.com]

Seifer had watched some vids on the internet this morning, so he had an idea of what he should be doing on the catwalk.

Thankfully, he liked the outfit (http://images.wikia.com/smallville/images/6/6b/S6-jh-3.jpg) they shoved him into.

Re: Catwalk!

[selfhelphero]

Billy was clean shaven omg had worn suits before but this one had a few more pieces than he was used to, so he had to rush to get dressed. He might have looked a little nervous on the catwalk, wondering how he'd let himself get talked into this.

Re: Catwalk!

[new-it-girl.livejournal.com]

Hanna's dress (http://i96.photobucket.com/albums/l165/Landslide418/Miscellaneous/Fandom%20High/Random/hannafashion.png) was cute, but it was the boots that kind of made the outfit awesome in her opinion.

It only made her feel more confident as she walked down the runway.

Re: Catwalk!

[wasthecuteone]

Petra did her best supermodel strut--which was actually pretty good, she'd had practice--down the runway, wearing an outfit.

That was really all that could be said about it, but if anyone asked her, it was Petra's opinion that broken apart and with proper styling, the separates really had potential. But then, this was a girl who owned and adored a gold lame jumpsuit.

Chuck was feeling... very, very not (http://zacharylevifan.com/gallery/displayimage.php?album=982&pid=62293#top_display_media) him (http://zacharylevifan.com/gallery/displayimage.php?album=982&pid=62292#top_display_media). He was awkward in front of people at the best of times. It was worse while wearing a shirt this shiny.

Why was he in this frat again?

Mingling After!

[rilla-myrilla.livejournal.com]

If Rilla didn't offer cake and coffee after an event, Susan Baker would come all the way down from Glen St. Mary and thump her, so here! Enjoy cake and coffee (and tea and cookies and, okay, there's a lot of moddable stuff) and discuss the fashions you've seen.

Or boggle. Whichever.

Re: Mingling After!

[knight-fatali.livejournal.com]

Seifer hung around after, still in the jacket he wore for the show, because they were not getting it back.

Yay, a fashion show!
