a costuming dilemma....
Not one of my own, but amusing enough to share....
One of the costuming lists I'm on received a post about a character they're working on - seems it's a vampire teenager going through a 'trying to look like a human' phase.
We all know how human teenagers dress in order to look like vampires (whiteface makeup, black clothes, sulky expression, bad posture), but, indulge me here.... how would a vampire teen dress in order to look human? What would it REALLY look like, and would anyone be convinced?
I get the mental image of Wednesday Adams trying to impersonate a cheerleader and failing miserably - pink stripey kneesocks one longer than the other, plain pink dress with Peter-Pan collar, and a pile of blush and lip gloss to make up for the deathly pallor. With a huge grin.
And frankly I think it would be creepier than the reverse!
Thoughts?
