Anyone want to participate on the revised "Clothing, Costume, and Compromises" panel discussion at Collegium? Erzi and I are currently leading it, but we need at least one more "expert" on the panel. Two more would also be dandy. (It's probably going to be in the first time slot from 9-10, fair warning.)
Here's the class description:
We all make compromises, but sometimes we forget that it’s ok to make something just because it’s pretty/flattering/functional/etc. What do we wear what we wear at events and why do we choose the clothing we do? Is documentable necessarily better? What class do we dress as? Do we embellish or not? Do we shorten our skirts? Do we should cleavage, or ankle? How hard is it to get dressed in the morning? Should men have to wear dresses? What fabrics do we choose, and why?
Come join a panel of “experts” to discuss the compromises all of us make, why we make them, and how to communicate what they are. This class is intended to expose the fact that everyone makes decisions based on compromise, and to increase the acceptance of our own compromises by learning how to communicate them.
