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.

Zubas haha My dad loved those. It's probably a good thing my mom threw them out or he would probably still wear them.

Go for comfort..that's what I do haha.

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...

Carniepunk Giveaway and Tour!

So, I'm sitting in my kitchen working at my laptop, as far as you know, when the doorbell rings. As any normal human being would, assuming there was a solicitor at the door or a sappy-eyed child selling diet-busting candy, I reached for my gun and slipped to the floor to avoid detection. Creeping across the hall, I lifted my head just in time to see the bestest shit-brown truck that ever existed barrel away leaving a puffy beige package on my doorstep, just like an unwanted baby...or THIS... YESSSSSSS!!! Carniepunk ARCs came!!! Now, some of you may know that this literary wonder was the brainchild of my friend and fellow Reluctant Adult, Kevin Hearne, author of such Iron Druidness as HOUNDED and star of a certain Single Ladies Dance Spectacular, featured here (feel free to witness that particular madness as you continue to read toward the inevitable contest): As excited as I am about my story in CARNIEPUNK (July 23rd), THE SWEETER THE JUICE (a post-apocalyptic zombie h...

5 Great Horror Movies to Rinse the Bad Taste of Ouija Away

In my ongoing effort to save you from studio horror movies cobbled together from the compressed shit of Hollywood burnouts, I bring you alternatives to OUIJA! #insteadofouija OUIJA has hit DVD/VOD and there's nothing we can do about that but don our gas masks, hunker down and pray for dawn. A horrifying prospect, but at least we can be entertained while waiting for the fallout to subside. Here's a few fantastic 2014 horror movie releases to make you feel like the world is still worth living... OCULUS seems to be a secret to this day. Despite some great buzz and a truly inventive style of storytelling, bouncing back and forth in time so fast the audience is left in a constant state of unease. The story wraps itself around a rapidly deteriorating family relationship brought to the brink of insanity by the presence of a haunted mirror. And that's where things get weird. The acting is pretty above average and the horror set pieces are jarring. OCULUS wasn't my fav...
