Calling all you fashionistas.......

By -
So I have a serious fashion dilemma.

The thing is, I'm not normally stumped. I definitely have my own "style." I'm not claiming it's actually "stylish, but it's my own style.

And yet sometimes you get an invite to something so new and exciting that you need a little help with what to wear.

Like tea with the Queen!
Or a really fancy horse race!
Or a date with a Finnish death metal drummer who is reputed to have eaten his own pinkie finger, raw, after chopping it off with an axe one night when he was drunk on acquavit!

Ukso was a big softie, once you got to know him.

Anyway, I'm confronted with just such an occasion.

What does one wear to a former cockfighting bar?

I'm thinking this is too much:



What do you think I should wear?

Um, well, what kind of a place is it now? Just a much of a dive just without the cock fighting? If so jeans and tanks tops or t-shirts would be my guess. Cockfights get messy and are usually outside/in tight closed spaces with little air flow.

You should totally get one of these to wear.

Michele: FORMER cockfighting bar! Emphasis on FORMER! The only way I'd actually watch them fight is if someone promised to fry them afterward.

JUST KIDDING PETA!!!

Kayla: OMG I love you. That's amazing.

I agree with Michele. Jeans, boots, and a cotton tank would be my choice.

Or...you can go with the Zubaz.

I'm leaning towards Zubaz. And the name Big Cock.

I think black jeans, kick-ass boots, and a slinky black halter top. Could be a rocker.

Ummm...the thing is, I don't actually own a pair of jeans. But I have denim skirts! I will do a denim skirt. And I DO have a super cute black halter top I could wear....tempting!

Gareth: Couldn't see the shirt for some reason but the belt is AWESOME. Love it.

Nicole, why do all of your friends know where to find "cock" apparel? You should mull over this very carefully...

I don't see anything wrong with the picture you posted. I'm thinking the white fuzziness would go great with your hair. If you still think it's too much, maybe the denim skirt, black leather halter, and a fuzzy white boa?

You could wear the white fluffy chicken, but I'd be concerned about visibility. it would no doubt be adventageous to actually see where you were walking and that chicken dosn't appear to have eyes.

As for what to wear, if you haven't come up with something by now, I guess it depends on what the Former Cock Fighting Bar is now. Denim is all-purpose of course, but you may be a little underdressed if the theme of the was 'leather' for example, or even overdressed if the theme was 'leather'...

I should stop now.

THE WRITE PRETENDAS

WE at the League of Reluctant Adults are pissed. Miffed. Put out. Thoroughly riled. We don't often get political, nor do we often get angry. But an angry Leaguer is an UGLY thing. Just look at Mark over there, all snarly with rage. Why are we angry, you ask? BECAUSE WE DIDN'T GET BOYCOTTED. There's this group calling itself "The Write Agenda," who claims to be a bunch of authors looking out for other authors. In reality, we're pretty sure they're a bunch of con artists who got mad at people calling them con artists. Why? Because they attack two of the best friends an author or an aspiring author can ever have: Writer Beware and Absolute Write Water Cooler . Here's John Scalzi's breakdown of what this Write Agenda is, and why they're doing what they're doing. For those not in the know, Writer Beware and Absolute Write Water Cooler are free services that collect information on agents, editors, and publishers. They report on thin

Since I missed my regular posting day--argh!--I'm popping in to steal Kari's day. Well, okay, Kari has a power outage so I'm taking her day, but believe me, I would totally steal it otherwise. And, because I'm just in that kind of mood, I'm going to post an excerpt from the fourth Downside book, SACRIFICIAL MAGIC, which will be released on March 27, 2012. (And wait till you guys see the cover!) The blurb: READING, WRITING, AND RAISING THE DEAD When Chess Putnam is ordered by an infamous crime boss—who also happens to be her drug dealer—to use her powers as a witch to solve a grisly murder involving dark magic, she knows she must rise to the challenge. Adding to the intensity: Chess’s boyfriend, Terrible, doesn’t trust her, and Lex, the son of a rival crime lord, is trying to reignite the sparks between him and Chess. Plus there’s the little matter of Chess’s real job as a ghost hunter for the Church of Real Truth, investigating reports of a haunting

Heeeyyy, everyone! For those who have no clue who I am, I'll keep this short. My name's Dakota Cassidy, and I write fluffy (like lightly whipped fluffy), humorous paranormals for Berkley Sensation. Mark Henry invited me to join the League after I threatened heinous acts of violence against his person, involving my stilettos and an old can of Aqua Net. After much resistance, and the utter ruination of a sassy pair of red pumps, here I am :) In celebration of my forced entry... er, induction to the League--I got booty for ya :) Here's what I'm in for, and this is what ya gotta do--post in the comments section. Just say hello--that's it :) That enters you in the contest for... A signed copy of the second book in my Accidental series,   Accidentally Dead , but that's not it. I'll buy TWO books--winner's choice--written by any of the authors here on the League. That means you could win books by Caitlin Kittredge, Jaye Wells, that meanie-butt Mark Henry, Miche
