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)

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?

Re: ...

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!

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.

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

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

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

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

Re: ...

[x-tarot.livejournal.com]

My apoligies. I only had heard the one term.

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

Re: ...

[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.

Re: ...

So .. why is there a difference?

Is one just reserved to specifically -be- rude?

[x-polarisstar.livejournal.com]

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

[x-kitten.livejournal.com]

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

[x-blink.livejournal.com]

SHOPPING! YES!!

ooooooooh.

[x-tarot.livejournal.com]

NEW formal stuff.

I like THAT idea.
