The Oscar Pre-Show BEGINS!

[kag523.livejournal.com]

Saturday is Oscar night! 

Tensions are starting to rise as we close in on the voting for the Oscar winners.  Please get out and cast your vote.  As someone who gets to see the results as they come in, I can tell you that there are a couple REALLY close races right now.  Your vote could be the deciding one!  Make it count!
(*NOTE:  TWO TIES AS OF 10 P.M. THURSDAY.) 

As mentioned , if there is a tie in the Oscar poll, I’ll be hosting a tie-breaker vote Saturday morning.  Then I’ll be posting the winners and their virtual Oscar awards afterward.  You’ll have both Saturday and Sunday to come on down to the DPP to hear the acceptance speeches and provide your congrats to the winners!

VOTING CLOSED

Now, since today is Friday, and we’ve had a busy week reading / writing / creating, I’m going to suggest something a little easier for today’s DPP.  (You didn’t realize I was going to make you work so hard this week, did you? :>)

Activity1:

 

 
Activity 2:

The Oscars are almost here.  We need Starbuck’s stylist! and Apollo’s attendant!

Since Lee and Kara will be attending tomorrow’s Fandom Oscars, you have the task of selecting their evening wear. 
 

Grab and post images, explain your choices and if you wish, dress up our pilots for the show and after parties.

Here's a little pretty to get you started...



Once again – THANK YOU!!! – for all the fantastic submissions yesterday at theSwap Meet!  There are still open offers and requests, so get out there and clear out your Photobucket closets.

HAPPY FRIDAY EVERYONE! 
See you in your formal-wear and bling for tomorrow's Oscar Celebrations!

I really have no reasoning for this other than thinking Kara would look smashing in it. And Lee could be kissing all over that pretty exposed back, you know, depending on how the end of the evening goes....

I don't care what Lee wears. Yes, I do: A three-piece suit would be nice. Maybe something very basic with one of those shock linings of bright satin or something. A change of pace from the politician wardrobe.

This totally made me giggle!!! And Lee could be kissing all over that pretty exposed back, you know, depending on how the end of the evening goes... AWESOME!

One word: Burberry.

Okay, more than one word, because the shoes are Ferragamo Tramezza, and they're pretty frakking fab. Can't see the watch from here, but it's a nice touch.



Other than that, I feel like we can always rely on my friend Emporio Armani, because, yes. A nice three-piece, you say?



Armani can do that for you. Oh my yes.

I love menswear. Did I mention that I love menswear? Because I do.

Maybe I just love Armani, because:



YES.

Or, alternately, maybe some Givenchy?

Oh yummy! I love the classic tux with the pale grey tie. Woot! And those dresses are lovely too! Wow!

[nazkey.livejournal.com]

Oh I love the white dress and can totally see Kara in it. Nice job! You are now officially the fashion consultant for the comm ;-)

[angelicalangie.livejournal.com]

FIrst up is Kara She is not only up for her award in my eyes - our girl is presenting - she needs TWO dresses!!!

Secondly - our girl is not into frou frou McGoo dresses

Thirdly this dress - as currently modeled by Keira Knightly (Screams back-up career here - I think I am chanelling Joan Rivers too *shudders*) Looks to be as fussy as out girl will go. It looks like she will be able to carry off the two-tonal aspects and it should show her athletic curves to superb effect (And by this I mean drive Lee round the twist with lust mmm hmmm oh yeah!)

http://pics.livejournal.com/angelicalangie/pic/0002kqzx/g81

For our presenting we have another blue dress, with more detail, but still simple enough to not hit either the Bjork Swan dress idiocy or the big swishy ball gown crap that starlets seem to go for. Much as Kara is balls to the wall, she is not overly sexy with her clothes - she just is that damned sexy! And she is not too girlie girl.

So all in all Kara is setting out to basically drive Lee into a frenzy, render him speechless, put him in some dire need of CPR - or all of the above, with out looking like a tramp.

As for Lee. So long as that man is in a Black suit, with a Wite shirt. The man and the suit are doomed to be in tatters at evenings end - just as it should be!

Sorry for only links. I have yet to work out uploading pics to comments (Bad me for having an LJ for at least 6 years and never working this one out :(

[lotus79.livejournal.com]

Oh that second one is divine. Love the back detail!

I agree with you - they would look awesome on her and are both very "Kara".

[kag523.livejournal.com]

I second that second dress. TOTALLY could see it!

[damao2010.livejournal.com]

I loved the second dress.
I'll PM you the instructions.

[nazkey.livejournal.com]

I third the second dress choice.

Re: Some Lee love

[kag523.livejournal.com]

*grins* I LOVE your explanations!!! So great!

Give Lee some love

[swamp-ariadne.livejournal.com]

ome Lee love
First... first, not all suits are equal. If there is anything I've learned in other fandoms is that suits must be tailored to the man. And as much as a basic black tux and white shirt might work with our "stick-up-your-ass" CAG, on that red carpet and stage he is more than just Apollo the Captain. He will be Lee, and damn it he is going to be so delicious that Kara and other wannabees (like Dee) will notice and maybe do more than notice.

So, is he going to go bow tie? or regular tie? or tie less?

Personally, I see him in all black. like the suit JGL is wearing. or maybe what tom hardy is wearing except with a silky black shirt with just the right kind of sheen.

http://www.toofab.com/2010/07/08/inception-leonardo-dicaprio-joseph-gordon-levitt-cillian-murphy-suits-photo-gallery/

based on his stint as President, who know that pinstripes don't really flatter him (makes him bulky in the wrong places). and a tie yes, or tie-less. might seem horribly informal for a black tie affair, but Lee can pull it off.

how to upload pics in LJ? i have the same deficiency in technical skills.

[damao2010.livejournal.com]

I'll PM you the instructions as they have been taught to me by other fellow shippers.

Re: Give Lee some love

[kag523.livejournal.com]

The comment about pin-stripes makes me laugh. I ALMOST want to use the descriptor "heavy-set" LOL. Sorry - couldn't resist. *winks*

Re: Give Lee some love

[kag523.livejournal.com]

I thought I replied (but apparently not) But I LOVE your comment about the pinstripes. Just saying. :>)

[callmeonetrack.livejournal.com]

I'm a little confused about the Twitter thing. Hashtags usually have the # symbol in front of them. The @ symbol is for directly replying to someone. So you're going to get all the other people replying to Katee Sackhoff's tweets, and telling her how good she was on TBBT, etc. in the twitter stream you've posted and I'm not sure if that's what you're looking for. (There's also fake accounts for Kara and for Lee on Twitter as well.)

As for evening wear, Jamie/Lee looks great in this:


And maybe something like this for Kara:


It's simple, black, one-shouldered (which she looks great in) but it's got a chainmail (!) side panel, which is perfect for badass Kara. :) With seriously silver strappy chainmail shoes.

[kag523.livejournal.com]

FIXED!!! See my new comments above! (and THANK YOU!)

[scifishipper.livejournal.com]

Oooh this black number has Lee's fingers all over the cut-outs. That one gets my vote! YUMMMMMMMMMM!

[coffeesuperhero.livejournal.com]

Ooooh, Balmain! Niiiiiiiiiiiiice. She'd look great in that.

[callmeonetrack.livejournal.com]

And these are the shoes, except with heels on them:

Nothing like the real thing

Guh!

Kara & Lee do the Oscars (Part I)

[coffeesuperhero.livejournal.com]

Lee can't help but feel a little overwhelmed and a lot out of place on the red carpet, especially when Ryan Seacrest strolls over, gives him a friendly grin, and shoves a microphone in his face, asking him about what he's wearing and what it feels like to be here with Kara Thrace, whether or not he thinks she'll win an award. He mumbles something about his suit, about how great it is to be here, how proud of Kara he is, and then he's shoved to the side and forgotten when Kara steps into view. Not that Lee can really blame them much for wanting to talk to her-- not only is Kara Hollywood's newest Big Thing, but she looks like a dream in the white dress that her stylist talked her into, the one that offers Lee (and the rest of the world, he thinks, with a sudden surge of possessive jealousy) a stunning view of her legs. He has no idea how he's supposed to sit next to her through this entire damn awards show when she looks like she does tonight. He had told her as much in the limo on the way over here, but she had just smiled one of her more wicked smiles, leaned in close, and said, "Anticipation's a real pain in the ass, huh?"

Kara wraps her interview and steps back to him, her bare arm sliding against the smooth fabric of his tuxedo jacket as she slips her arm into the crook of his elbow. "For a second there, I thought our friend Ryan was gonna ask for your number," she jokes, bumping her hip into his, nearly running them right into another couple of attendees. "Sorry!" Kara calls out as Lee steers them toward the entrance of the building. She glances back over her shoulder and then looks up at Lee, wide-eyed. "Holy fuck, Lee, was that Brad Pitt?"

"Yes, and the lady you almost impaled with your high heel was Angelina," Lee says.

"Goddamn, I need a drink. Do we really have to go in there? God, Lee, I'm not gonna win," she says, laughing nervously, like it's not a big deal, like she doesn't really give a damn. There was a time, years ago, when Lee might have bought the act, but they've been together long enough now that he knows exactly what Kara's particular brand of false bravado sounds like. Perhaps more importantly, he knows exactly how to keep her mind off of whatever's troubling her.

"I'll make you a deal," Lee says, leaning over to whisper into her ear. "If you take home one of those little gold men tonight? I get whatever I want from you. At the wrap party."

She grins up at him. "Oh yeah? And what happens if I lose?"

"You're still taking me home," he shrugs, laughing. "I think I can remember how to make you feel like a winner."

More later after I get home from dinner!

You, my darling are a tease! I wanna see MOAR!!!!!!!!!

Pinstripes, you say?

[callmeonetrack.livejournal.com]

All angles look pretty svelte to me.

Hey, how'd that one from Razor get in there... ;)

OMG *fans self* Now THAT, my dear, speaks for itself. *grins*

AWESOME!

Kara & Lee do the Oscars (Part II)

[coffeesuperhero.livejournal.com]

Lee thinks that it's probably some kind of miracle that they make it through the entire ceremony without sneaking off to find a dark corner. Her face may be picture of perfect innocence as she sits next to him, staring straight ahead, laughing at all the host's jokes, but Kara has him squirming through the whole damn awards show, quietly driving him crazy with every surreptitious slide of her hand against his thigh.

"I know what you're doing," he hisses, as they applaud the nominees for Best Supporting Actor. "Cut it out."

She pretends to accidentally drop her clutch into his lap and gives him a lascivious wink as she reaches over to pick it up, taking the opportunity to run her hand over the bulge in his trousers. "Oops," she says, laughing as he shifts uncomfortably in his seat and makes something of a show of devoting all of his attention to the new round of presenters.

Kara's award ends up going to Charlize Theron, and while he can tell she's disappointed, she seems happy enough about her evening, especially when her movie gets Best Picture and she gets to take the stage with the rest of the cast and crew. Hours later, they're at a party at some director's house, possibly Kara's director, he's not even sure anymore, when she pulls him into a bathroom and locks the door behind them.

"I know I didn't win," she says, pushing him down onto some designer couch in the outer half of the room, "but that just means I get whatever I want from you, instead of it being the other way around, right?"

"I'm pretty sure that's the way that works," Lee nods, hardly even caring that there are hundreds of people at this party. "Why don't you let me help you out of that ridiculous dress, huh?"

She shakes her head. "Let's leave it on for now," she says, sinking carefully into his lap. "Speaking of the dress, though, I do have a confession to make."

"What's that?" Lee says, more of a well-articulated moan than anything else, all he can manage as the inside of her thigh slides against his erection. He runs his hands up under her dress, tracing her hips with his fingers, and she squirms a little, just like he's been doing all night.

Kara grins and nips at his ear, her hands working the buttons of his vest and trousers open while he teases her, slipping one finger under the band of her underwear, tracing her clit until she's moaning, too. "I heard you talking to my director earlier," she says, unzipping his trousers as fast as she can. "You wanted to know how in the world my stylist talked me into this fucking ridiculous dress, right?" She's got her hand wrapped around his dick now, her thumb tracing lazy circles over the head, and all he can do is nod. She leans down and speaks directly into his ear. "She told me it would drive you crazy," Kara murmurs, still stroking him with agonizing slowness.

"Fuck, I think she deserves a raise," Lee groans, and that's all Kara lets him say for the next several minutes, during which Lee is absolutely certain that the entire party probably knows what they're doing. He doesn't care. As long as he's with her, he always feels like he's winning, and from the brilliant smile on her face when they slip back down to the party later, she feels the same way about him.
