"I Cannot Text You with a Drink in My Hand..."
Style meme!
Ivy Statton
Height: 5'8"
Build: Willowy, not overly curvy
Hair: Long, straight, black
Style: Lots of bright colours, especially oranges, reds, and yellows. Mostly pencil skirts and business casual for work, with moderate jewellery; offwork, ridiculously pretty twirly things. In general, in her free time Ivy dresses in a way that emphasises her, such that you tend not to notice she's wearing clothes as much as you notice that she's looking very hot in them, because she has that standard to live up to, being a Ragnelle and all. Shoes as little as possible, big shiny silver barrettes, themes of stars and leaves and flowers. She always looks light and airy and unfairly comfortable. In the summer you will hate her all the time.
Pajamas (shut up this amuses me and I know what everyone's pajamas are like shut up shut up): Silk: blouse-y top and little shorts. Surprisingly not actually designed for the sexy.
Gary Wilkinson
Height: 5'11"
Build: When he's stressed out, runs to malnourished; when he's not, runs to cuddly.
Hair: Wavyish, a little shaggy.
Style: Jeans and cableknit sweaters and old t-shirts that have stuff printed on them only because they came free from events. He's also a fan of flannel, and wearing button-ups layered over his t-shirts (with the sleeves rolled up). And ratty sneakers. But the basic rule is that every single thing he owns has paint on it, and if it doesn't, it will soon. Everything.
Pajamas: Just pajama bottoms. Blue/green plaid flannel.
Adia Connor
Height: 5'4"
Build: Overwhelmingly normal: probably about twenty pounds heavier than fashion magazines say she should be, evenly distributed around her body.
Hair: Curly and shoulderlength. Goes frizzy in humidity.
Style: Also overwhelmingly normal. Unless it's a special occasion, Adia prefers just to go with jeans and a blouse and have done with it. She actually wears high heels, but not when she's working or at school, and she is a fan of big dangly earrings, as long as they're not going to get pulled off by something. She does have a trenchcoat for cold days, because the idea of a trenchcoat amuses her.
Pajamas: Cotton, with kitty print.
Molly Carter
Height: 5'7"
Build: Same kind of normal as Adia, except with actual muscles from dogwalking and softball.
Hair: Short, curly, kicky, red.
Style: Very jeans and t-shirt. Molly is your basic American teenage tomboy stereotype in terms of dress. She wears tennis shoes instead of sneakers, though. She does not know the meaning of the words 'dressed up', and she has a beat-up leather bomber jacket that her dad gave her for her sixteenth birthday, which she loves.
Pajamas: She just wears an extra-large t-shirt.
Jim Brown
Height: 6'3"
Build: Wiry, not to say gangly. Jim is sadly built very much like a teenage boy for being forty years old.
Hair: Shaggy and beardy. His hair gets in his eyes.
Style: Because of his years of being in business, he has an overdeveloped sense of formal wear. When he works he wears a tie, and he also wears embarrassingly shiny formal shoes which he is fussy about keeping polished. He's a fan of the button-up shirt, but it has to be a nice shirt, dammit, and he wears very nice slacks which he irons himself. That said, on days when he's at home wearing whatever he wants he tends to be a little less polished, and his taste in sweaters can only be described as 'hideously ugly'. All of that said, he is the kind of person who exudes an aura of 'dear lord this man is the kind of man that fortune kicks when he's down' and all of his clothes tend to fray a little with it. He has a pink apron which Amanda made for him for his birthday one year (please don't ask why, he doesn't know why), a habit of keeping pens in his shirt pockets, maybe one pair of jeans total, three actual pairs of cufflinks, a tuxedo, and one beautiful green evening gown that fits him exactly, because he used to have a boyfriend who was into genderfuck.
Pajamas: Pajama bottoms and an undershirt.
And, bonus, one for mhari:
Laura Ross
Height: 5'10"
Build: Thin, but sturdy, and highly muscular
Hair: Long, red, and prone to tangles
Style: Sweaters and jeans. She prefers dark colours, blacks, browns, greys, subdued greens and navys, and the occasional porridge-y beige. Clothes are very much not her thing.
Pajamas: In the Army she slept in her uniform pants and an undershirt. As a civilian, she wears a long cotton/poly green nightgown of her mother's, and it always makes her feel weird.

in other news, I am finally not sick again--apparently, you subject your body to one little bout of hypoglycaemia on a Friday and you spend the next three days dying of a fever and massive digestive system trauma. Also, I'm allergic to bee stings after all. My hand is finally not the size of a grapefruit any more, but pffffffft.
