The X-Project

- yes, this means formal wear. Arrangements have been made in that regard but feel free to contact me if you want to get creative.

Ahahaha, suckers.

From:

Band. Concert. You are not getting off the hook either.

;)

From:

Yes, but I like doing concerts. And when you're behind the drums, nobody can see what you wear. I could sit back there with no pants on and no one would know. :)

From:

Oh really?

...

*cackles*

From:

Just trying to keep your day interesting. Wouldn't want you to get bored without plots to plan. :)

From:

rick allen used to perform wearing only his union jack boxers for YEARS. now they make him wear a shirt too :( but he still refuses to wear shoes.

From:

I like formal clothing.

From:

That's the spirit!

Got something in mind or want something different? ;)

From:

I was thinking that since Doug -has- a tuxedo, that traditional formal wear would be appropiate.

From:

So, are you saying that to my partner as well?

From:

No, I'm reminding your partner that I know dire and arcane uses for whoopee cushions. And contemplating taking dance next year so I don't have to use any of 'em. :)

From:

I would be much in favor of this. You can dance, I've seen you.

From:

Well, yeah, you have, you're the only one I've ever danced with.

And hey, it'd be fun, and after the massage seminar it's not like I'm above taking classes for completely selfish reasons. Go collect your Junior Devil Woman Scouts badge from Alison, you've convinced me. :)

From:

Ooh.

*makes mental note to make badges, with Lorna's help*

*personalize at that!*

From:

*smiles sweetly*

From:

Mmmm. Good work, my young padawan. I approve muchly.

;)

From:

Heh.

From:

Formal, as in formal-formal?

Like, a ballgown?

..

Wait.

WAIT.

Doug in a tuxedo? TUXEDO?

I may feel the need to go squeal and giggle.

...

I know I am not formally taking Music until next semester. Should I participate in the exam-concert regardless?

From:

Would now be the time to inform everyone that I already _own_ a tuxedo?

From:

You do?

WHY?

...

Not that I am complaining.
Leather pants. Tuxedo. Do you have any -other- secret wardrobe pieces I should know about?

From:

If I told you, they wouldn't be secret, would they, love?

From:

But. But.

And you did not answer the question about why you --own a tuxedo--

I suppose I should go get a ballgown, since I believe all my formal clothing is either at home or not quite formal -enough-

From:

It was cheaper to buy one than to rent it every year for choir?

And boss, should I get accessories to match Angie's dress, or just go with black tie? Also, vest or cummerbund?

From:

I .. want pictures.

No. Wait. I get to see it. Nevermind.

No. Wait.

I STILL WANT PICTURES.

From:

When and where are we doing the concert, boss? And I'm drawing a blank as to what we're doing in terms of setlist. Jamie, want to help me out here? Did we decide on doing anything from my spiffy Matchbox 20 book?

From:

If I have to participate, I want to do Unwell.

Or Bent. I also like Bent.

From:

Any and all? Not a song in there I don't like.

From:

all I have is the dress I wore to the christmas formal. or some peices I could cobble together into the most sparkly-plaid rainbow dress ever which would cause Maire-Ange to do hairy kari in the name of "good fashion".

is that okay? (not hairy kari, but wearing the X-Mas dress)

From:

Formal.
Plaid.

.. with your coloring, in -theory-, if we had TIME, we might be able to put something together that is not truly offensive, and still fits both 'formal' and 'plaid'

It might be a little outre, but then, so is purple skin, no?

From:

it's blue and red plaid. with silver in it. I've had it under my bed for a while now, was thinking I'd make it into a skirt if I ever had time or a sewing machine. haven't asked because well...no time.

and I have a purple and black plaid bodice thing from hot topic. together they would make a formal. even if they don't even match by MY standards.

like I said, hairy kari. and everything I wear it "outre" (I had to look that up btw! just say "unconventional" next time) unless I decide to copy Jono in his "black is the new rainbow" fashion. and people wonder why I never match...if I must be purple I should do it in style!

From:

Hari kiri.

And.. if it was all purple and black, we could accomodate.

Perhaps the bodice and black..

OOH!

I have black velvet with tiny silver speckles. It was meant to be for a costume, but I think it is still in my closet. I never used it. The bodice and that as a skirt. The speckles are not -quite- glitter, but they would not clash with the bodice, and they -are- shiny.

From:

x-rahne.livejournal.com

I think I've seen that! Yes, it would be pretty.

Tell Clarice it's formal glitter that can't get away from her. ;)

From:

glitter has magical powers. it can move and attack on its own.

From:

Please call it seppuku. Hara kiri is such a vulgar term.

From:

My apoligies. I only had heard the one term.

Do they actually have different meanings, or it is just a level of politeness used?

From:

x-sanfuaiyaa.livejournal.com

The mean the same thing, and are in fact spelled the same way. Seppuku is 切腹 and hara kiri is backwards, 腹切. The latter is just a more vile word, like saying "piss" instead of "urinate." Speaking about hara kiri in front of a samurai is a good way to get oneself decapitated.

From:

So .. why is there a difference?

Is one just reserved to specifically -be- rude?

From:

Or we could go shopping. We'll make Ali pay. *grins*

From:

Oooh! I'm in favor of this. I may already own formal wear, but new stuff is always nice.

From:

SHOPPING! YES!!
