No, no, not this Time Warp, or this one, or this one, either.

But it's astounding how time is fleeting, and madness takes its toll. This is the thread where we all dress up like it's a really long time ago!

I'll start:

Also we do not care about historical accuracy. It's the intentions that count. And the dressing up. Just Do It, ok?

jmrz · « **Reply #1 on:** 10 Oct 2007, 19:29 »

I have the perfect dress for this.

Inlander · « **Reply #2 on:** 10 Oct 2007, 19:54 »

Aww. I thought this was gonna be a thread where we all look back over picture threads from days of yore and remember how cute we used to be.

Slick · « **Reply #3 on:** 10 Oct 2007, 20:04 »

You're still cute in my eyes, Harry.

Inlander · « **Reply #4 on:** 10 Oct 2007, 20:11 »

I'm still cute in my eyes too, James.

calenlass · « **Reply #5 on:** 10 Oct 2007, 20:31 »

Harry: feel free to hijack the thread. After you post a picture in tails and a tophat, k.

Blue Kitty · « **Reply #6 on:** 10 Oct 2007, 20:31 »

damn, I really wanted to take a jump to the left followed by a step to the right

Liz · « **Reply #7 on:** 10 Oct 2007, 20:32 »

Sam, I actually have a fat gold rope at home...

Anyways, here's my effort for the thread! I tried to do a few other pictures all sexy as well, but it just doesn't work for me.

calenlass · « **Reply #8 on:** 10 Oct 2007, 20:35 »

This is a superb effort.

Liz · « **Reply #9 on:** 10 Oct 2007, 20:37 »

Aww, thanks. That's pretty much all I have for old-fashioned looking stuff, so I'm glad it works together.

Ballard · « **Reply #10 on:** 10 Oct 2007, 20:39 »

I will definitely try something tomorrow.

I went to my year 12 formal (what you'd call a "prom" in America) wearing my grandfather's tails. Unfortunately I no longer have them (they were being shared between three grandsons; I have no idea who's in possession of them now).

calenlass · « **Reply #12 on:** 10 Oct 2007, 20:49 »

Things that will help you be convincing!:

HATS like bowlers or fedoras or newsies are good. Cloches would be awesome if you got 'em, ladies.

POLKA-DOTS especially on adorable dresses like Misconception's

VESTS of the three-piece suit variety, especially when paired with ASCOTS

SHOULDER PADS but don't go overboard or you will end up looking like you are from the 80s. Which is ok, I guess, if you meant to do it.

Liz · « **Reply #13 on:** 10 Oct 2007, 21:15 »

Also, a few more things that I thought of.

Ladies: peep-toed shoes, shoes with cute little bows, cinched/belted waistbands, bold lipstick.
Dudes: shiny shoes, those funny little armbands they put over dress shirts.

calenlass · « **Reply #14 on:** 10 Oct 2007, 21:23 »

ducktails and pincurls

Ballard · « **Reply #15 on:** 10 Oct 2007, 22:39 »

Is drag acceptable? Cause I definitely have more access to old school womens clothing than mens stuff.

E. Spaceman · « **Reply #16 on:** 10 Oct 2007, 23:21 »

Drag is always acceptable

Johnny C · « **Reply #17 on:** 11 Oct 2007, 00:09 »

what about naked

Inlander · « **Reply #18 on:** 11 Oct 2007, 00:31 »

Only if you have old-fashioned genitalia.

jmrz · « **Reply #19 on:** 11 Oct 2007, 00:37 »

I am getting so many ideas for this. SO MANY IDEAS. I will have to wait until tomorrow though, or sometime over the weekend.

Inlander · « **Reply #21 on:** 11 Oct 2007, 01:15 »

Probably something a bit like your avatar.

axerton · « **Reply #22 on:** 11 Oct 2007, 02:09 »

No it means small, look at all the Greek statues of Gods, small was in in the olden days.

valley_parade · « **Reply #23 on:** 11 Oct 2007, 06:36 »

Man, all I have in the "vintage" get up is a throwback Bruins sweater. =/

redglasscurls · « **Reply #24 on:** 11 Oct 2007, 07:00 »

See, this is doubly time-warping, cause I'm using an old photo of an older dress;)
The fab 50's dress!

mooface · « **Reply #25 on:** 11 Oct 2007, 07:29 »

i am so up for this! i wish i was not at work, but at home so i could start taking pictures now. i also wish i was born in the late 1930's, but that's another story.

PS where is jen???

SeanBateman · « **Reply #26 on:** 11 Oct 2007, 08:43 »

I'm playing the homme fatale in my friends final project for film noir. There will be pictures.

Joseph · « **Reply #27 on:** 11 Oct 2007, 11:19 »

I figure it's just a matter of time before someone grabs a leaf and puts up a picture Adam and Eve style.

Liz · « **Reply #28 on:** 11 Oct 2007, 12:11 »

Well now they will, since you've put the idea into their minds. Crafty little devil.

jhocking · « **Reply #29 on:** 11 Oct 2007, 12:45 »

He just wants to see people naked.

...

Good thinking.

Liz · « **Reply #30 on:** 11 Oct 2007, 13:19 »

Yes, hence myself calling him a crafty little devil.

More time warping, people! Let's see those old-fashioned get-ups!

It means you can only wear leaves over your privates. Or be classily concealed by branches and careful sitting.

ampersandwitch · « **Reply #32 on:** 11 Oct 2007, 17:07 »

Or cherubs carrying a banner.

Wink · « **Reply #33 on:** 11 Oct 2007, 18:10 »

can't wait for yall to go to the diner and a drive in movie

Unosuke · « **Reply #34 on:** 11 Oct 2007, 18:51 »

heres me as a pirate, pirates are from a really long time ago:

also, how about someone dress up like they're from the future.

Joseph · « **Reply #35 on:** 11 Oct 2007, 19:06 »

Body paint and cloth is pretty much from the past, right?

Storm Rider · « **Reply #36 on:** 11 Oct 2007, 19:07 »

Man, this stuff is back from the days when Turkey still had an ambassador in the United States!

Ballard · « **Reply #37 on:** 11 Oct 2007, 21:00 »

Dark Flame, I could swear you're at Nambassa.

MusicScribbles · « **Reply #38 on:** 11 Oct 2007, 21:12 »

Where was this? I mean, what kind of event are you sitting calmly in a chair with body paint and assumed exposed genitalia for? MY CURIOSITY KNOWS BOUNDS!

Joseph · « **Reply #39 on:** 11 Oct 2007, 21:21 »

It wasn't actually exposed. There was underwear. But there was a lot of upper thigh. So I thought best to censor a tad. Also for humour value.
This was at a talent night performance thingy for the staff at the summer camp/retreat centre sort of place I worked at this summer. It was just the staff in attendance, and things got rather silly. Here's a picture of the performance this costume was for.

It should have been nearly pitch black at this point, but the camera flash ruined that.

MusicScribbles · « **Reply #40 on:** 11 Oct 2007, 21:26 »

You look angry, are you angry?

Joseph · « **Reply #41 on:** 11 Oct 2007, 21:32 »

We were covering 'We Tigers' by Animal Collective.

FruitKat · « **Reply #42 on:** 11 Oct 2007, 22:11 »

These are oldies, but I think that fits with the theme kinda...

EDIT: Oh damn, I forgot that these photos were supposed to look like we actually are back in time. If someone could you know add a sepia filter and edit the camera, road cone and iron into something period accurate that would be cool, otherwise use your imaginations!

calenlass · « **Reply #43 on:** 11 Oct 2007, 22:25 »

Kaaaaat

(I love that dress. You are so cute. Stop that no fair.)

Mnementh · « **Reply #44 on:** 11 Oct 2007, 23:42 »

Guys, don't turn this into a plain old photo thread else I'll just lock it on account of people not being dressed up period like.

FruitKat · « **Reply #45 on:** 12 Oct 2007, 00:59 »

How am I not dressed up period-like?

calenlass · « **Reply #46 on:** 12 Oct 2007, 01:21 »

I do not know. That is precisely why I love that dress. (The silhouette is also fantastic on you. hguahgluahbluahg)
