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!

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.

Date: 2010-10-15 06:23 am (UTC)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?

Date: 2010-10-15 11:59 am (UTC)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!)

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 :(

Date: 2010-10-15 01:55 pm (UTC)Give Lee some love
Date: 2010-10-15 01:59 pm (UTC)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.

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.

Date: 2010-10-15 02:21 pm (UTC)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.

Date: 2010-10-15 04:14 pm (UTC)I know it's hard to get Kara into a dress, and probably when I pulled that one out she'd be like HELL NO, but I just assumed for this selection process that I had been assigned to dress Ms. Thrace for the Oscars, and we had had the following conversation:
Kara: What the hell is that?
Me: Well, here on Earth, we refer to it as, "a dress."
Kara: No shit? *eyeroll*
Me: Look, here's the thing. See this slit up the side, here? The one that shows off a whole damn lot of your thigh?
Kara: *skeptical face* Uh-huh.
Me: Fabulous. Now, picture for me, if you will, the look on your pal Lee's face when he gets a look at that. And has to keep right on looking. But not touching. All night. In the middle of a huge crowd of people.
Kara: So, this isn't a dress, it's a prank.
Me: Exactly. Or, you know, delayed gratification. I hear that it's better if you make 'em wait. *wink*
Kara: I like where your head's at.
Me: ...that's what she said.
