Just a little public post so my non-LJ friends can see the outfit I've been nervously blabbing about for ages...
EDIT: For those who don't know, I dressed up as
this guy. I was sort of going for
this look.
Teasers:
Teaser 1: I think Mana (far left) dressed up as Klaha (middle) before I got involved (that’s me on the right).
Teaser 2: When you do J-rock, you gotta have the devil horns.
Teaser 3: Look, Mom, I’m on CD now! ^_^
Some of you have seen those. But here's more:
Elegant Gothic Aristocrat. Very Mana, ne?
We call this look
Man-Mana.
Mirror, Mirror, on the wall, who’s the Dix-est of them all?
I have a
black frilly shirt, too.
This replicates the shot that got the
humourous caption (which is still my computer wallpaper).
I so rarely get to spread
my wings.
EDIT: I got a request for additional shots:
Gee, why does that
t-shirt ring a bell?
I am Mana.
Behold my spotty bathroom mirror. :P
That’s a lotta
hair...
Double-shot: Left - Japan’s next top model? Right - me & the real deal (or at least, a poster of the real deal).
Threesome (get your minds out of the gutter!). Note the Phantasmagoria poster that’s plainly visible in the shot on the far right. ^_^
Come to the
Dix side. We have candy.
So, is it Mana-rific? The lips* say no, but the
eyes say YES!!
Endless thanks to the websites from which I nicked all the pretty Mana photos!!!
*The lips, in my opinion, are not arched enough. Can’t do that pretty bat-wing thing that Mana's lips do. I end up with Bette Davis lips (a la
Whatever Happened To Baby Jane?) that make my face look odd (moreso than usual). I’ve had a few bad face days where that’s almost happened. Plus, I have long, flat lips, so trying to do the bottom like his, which is more rounded, it’d be apparent I’ve only got half my lip done. And unless you’re doing Geisha or Chinese Opera, that looks odd, too. Not to mention the fact that if I do the “V” of the top lip as deep as his - & this prob’ly has a lot to do with the difference between Japanese & Caucasian features - it makes the indentation between my nose & top lip look really deep.
I took a LOT of shots, so if you want to see any more, let me know.
