costuming poll + shameless begging for beta

Okay, *aside* from my Hub2 problems (getting victorian stuff, how long the painting will take for circus freak to extend my tat), I'm almost certainly doing She-Ra for kids tv at T1, Orange Orange for Agents, then comes Heroes and Villains night. Somewhat torn. I've kind of narrowed it down to two (unless you lot have better ideas), and understand I'm trying to go for blonds with minimal clothing whenever possible to cut down on wigs. I had been thinking of Black Canary then reminded myself that this would involve a leather modified bathing costume. aka *fuck no*. So, weighing up the values of obscurity...

[Poll #1355284]

In other news, the jack and ianto fall through the rift into the 30s with shameless jeeves and wooster referencing has *finally* got some cohesion and looks close to being finished. So I need a beta. :bats eyelashes:

snowballjane? You need to write that ghost fic. NOW. Before you get utterly mindfucked by whatever Toby Whithouse pulls on us this week.

Just had a skin crawl moment. You know the costume indecision? Okay, before then I'd been bitching about a friend of mine who used to be funny and so on. Has in the last year of so getting steadily cruder, ruder, bitchier, lazier, to the point where I try not to spend very much time with him. Everyone's been getting more pissed off with him and less inclined to rely on him or count him into activities due to his unreliability. Mostly a costumes/crafting bod. In the last year or so, when you ask his opinion on which costume, he's been pretty consistently saying the one that shows the most flesh. Or more specifically, the one you said you didn't want to do in his hearing. often prefaced with 'You should do _insert character_, she's hot.' not a criteria for doing a costume. Really.

I posted a note up on facebook about the indecision. And he just came back with 'Black canary, boots and fishnets'. when I've said in his hearing I didn't want to do Black Canary because of the problems with the body part. and he followed that up with a text to say 'you should totally do black canary or you would make a bloody good supergirl! Or Sean is doing Dr doom so you could do a good Sue Storm and you can get a FF zanti suit off ebay for next to nothing.'

I... just... Has he been listening to me when I speak or looked at any costumes I've done in the past? And Sue Storm, film version? I THINK NOT. (not to mention I don't *do* non-breathable.) And yeah, doesn't sound that crude as such, but if you put it how he would, my skin has just crawled.
