Dress-up yay.

[misatheredpanda.livejournal.com]

Alright, I have to ask: how many people have been wandering about with fake blood smeared around their necks today?
(Well, any kind of Revolution-related costume, really.)

Oh, hey, this is my first actual post.

And while I'm here, happy Halloween~ :D

I did it last year, actually. :P I thought of doing it this year, but I dismissed it fast, because I already look pitiful enough as a living!Robespierre -- a zombie!Robespierre would push the catharsis to masochism. ;O; While zombie!Saint-Just, well, I don't know... it's more dignified...?

[toi-marguerite.livejournal.com]

I went as Robespierre two years ago. ;P Everyone thought that I was Benjamin Franklin.

I tried to go as Marie Antoinette this year, but I simply couldn't figure out how to make the panniers. Instead, I turned a crinoline skirt into a bustle and went as a Victorian vampire.

I think I can claim to have the strangest and most obscure Revolution-related costume: I'm the ghost of Éléonore Duplay today. >__>

[maelicia.livejournal.com]

Ooh, ghost? XD

[estellacat.livejournal.com]

Yeah, I'm dead. :D And I have this really awesome all-black costume. With a huge veil. I'll have to show you the pictures when I can develop them and scan them (my digital camera broke >.>).

[maelicia.livejournal.com]

...there's such a high probability anybody knows what you're dressed like with that description. XD Did you have a tricolour sash, at least? To complete the looks?

[estellacat.livejournal.com]

Yeah, I know, unfortunately. I didn't have a tricolor sash, even. Though I did have a medallion of Maxime around my neck. :D?

[maelicia.livejournal.com]

Awwww. XD How did you make it?

[estellacat.livejournal.com]

The medallion? It's actually just a picture of a medallion of him I printed out and glued to a piece of cardboard. -_-;

[maelicia.livejournal.com]

Well... this is sort of cute. XD Do you want a comfort kiss, while I'm still dressed like Maxime? Y'know? XD

[estellacat.livejournal.com]

I think so. You'll see, anyway. XD Sure. Though it sort of makes my brain hurt wondering how Éléonore could be dead when Maxime is alive. O.o;

[maelicia.livejournal.com]

I could pretend to be a ghost, but it'd be creepy.

[estellacat.livejournal.com]

Agreed. And then there would be blood everywhere. Being Éléonore's ghost, there's none involved. >__>

[maelicia.livejournal.com]

...and broken jaw don't Frenchkiss quite well.

[coppertone.livejournal.com]

Last year and this year I dressed up as -- basically a zombie French Revolution cheerleader. Also known, through a series of long stories and in-jokes, as an. Er. Hollaback citoyenne. No, really. I even have pictures (http://coppertone.livejournal.com/152900.html#cutid1), though it was way better this year.

[estellacat.livejournal.com]

Indeed. ;O; ...Though, come to think of it, that's really only a problem if they're zombies. If they're ghosts it shouldn't matter, right?

[maelicia.livejournal.com]

Exactly. And therefore, you can't make the difference if I'm supposed to be living!Maxime or ghost!Maxime. >D

[estellacat.livejournal.com]

Though I'm made up to be very pale and have dark circles around my eyes... Wait, admittedly, on a limited scale that does describe living!Maxime, doesn't it? >.>

[maelicia.livejournal.com]

Ooooh, you have appropriate MAKE-UP too. Sort of. I think I already look pale and sickly enough though. More than that, it'd be aristo-powder. D:

[estellacat.livejournal.com]

Yeah, though it mostly came off by the time I took pictures. :/ So you could pass for ghost!Maxime, in a pinch...

[maelicia.livejournal.com]

Aw... it doesn't matter. ^__^ Kind of. And I felt sick today, so it was fitting when I came back home to change. XD

[estellacat.livejournal.com]

You should still be able to see the rings around my eyes in them though, so it's mostly just the white paint that's gone. Poor thing. Are you feeling better now? I can see how that would work out though. :/

[kurotoshi.livejournal.com]

EXCUSE-ME!? my wound is on my chest thank you very much! (J/K!!) No,no, I WAS suppose to do Marat but homework/severe lack of money got in the way - but it's okay - I'm doing him on Bastille day instead!

nd welcome to the com! I'm the resident Marat-ist so if you have any questions feel free to ask~

[morgan-wang.livejournal.com]

I was Saint-Just, compleate with gold hoop earings. Though only my history teacher got who I was, I still won the school costume contests. (Though they called me "revolutionary girl" :( oh well.)
