If you were the sort of cartoon or video game character that always wears a costume, what would you wear? Why?
I was browsing through the Writer's Block things (again) and found this one. I just saw The League Of Extraordinary Gentleman yesterday (for the I-don't-now-much-many'th time), and I absolutely adore what Mina's wearing. Let me go find a picture of it.

It's awesome, seriously. If I had to wear a costume, I'd want something that looks like this. I'd probably look ridiculous, but I don't care. Just like that time when one of my friends wanted 'that one dress Nicole Kidman wears in Moulin Rouge.' She wears black all the time, and the dress looks like this:
Yes, I'm aware that the picture's quality is shitty, and that Nicole Kidman looks like an alien who has had too much radioactive food, but that doesn't matter. The point is that the dress is red (which I think is an awful color for a dress), and that it has a giant bow on the back. But well, I'm the girl who wore a suit to the sort-of-prom-Christmas-thingy at school last year. I think I even have a picture of it =O
I'm the one in the middle, with the horrible shirt my mother forced me to wear.. :S The girl on the left is Anneke, my totally slash-approving friend, and the one on the right is Jessica, who's my totally crazy best friend.
But no picture of me in the whole suit. It was awesome. Black, with a silver vertical line every two inches or so. I love it. This year I'm buying a dress, though. Somehow, wearing a suit made me feel even more awkward than wearing a dress. I'm not a person who likes formal clothing. The guys in our school are with me on that subject, but that party is the only party at school that's worth going to (or at least I think so). They even hire a ballroom dance teacher for four weeks, and everyone can learn to dance. Our class learns from two of my friends, though, who dance as a sport.
So, somehow, this turned into a story about me, again. And I'm going to shut up now, because there are other things I should/could be doing.
Love, Esther
