I can't grant your wishes, but I can sure as hell snark.

Last night I was on the phone with [livejournal.com profile] vernard and I started bitching because I don't have a costume yet for [livejournal.com profile] albumlady's party, and he was like "That's easy. Put on The Corset, put on some wings and come as the Snark Fairy."

It's so perfect I'm pissed I didn't think of it first.

So... Your input requestd. What sort of accessories does the Snark Fairy need? Tiara's a given. I've got a lovely circlet of green roses that some of you have seen, which sadly needs the elastic replaced or something before it breaks, or another copper circlet. A wand's also essential, as [livejournal.com profile] deza points out -- or maybe a Snark Stick to whap people with. More?

And for those of you who have seen me lately, should I make sure I get a haircut first?

EDIT: [livejournal.com profile] celeloriel says flowers aren't snarky. But I wuv my circlet... Other suggestions?

Tiara and wand. And a camera, cause dammit, I want pictures!

Amended. :) And I believe [livejournal.com profile] photognome's having a photo shoot.

A pair of kickass shoes you can tap your heels together and snark your way back home. And maybe a black fedora in honor of Munch, King of Snark.

I've got just the shoes. They're Mary Janes with big chunky heels!

The costume definitely needs some sort of Munch tribute... and a fedora would be wicked fun to pose with... Might clash with the tiara though.

Oh, perfect shoes.

Wear the tiara OVER the fedora for a phun pheminine pheel.

Yeah, if Madonna can slap a tiara on a cowboy hat, why can't someone put a tiara on a fedora?!

You could use a pair of rhinestone sunglasses, as well.

I would have suggested thigh-high "fuck-me" boots and a riding crop for a wand. But that's just my version of kink...

I am thinking wickedly ugly nailpolish to point noticeably at people.

Sculpey horns. Very very easy to make. I'd make 'em for ya, but I'm guessing the party is probably too soon to wait on me getting supplies and mailing you a set of horns. There is a link to instructions at the bottom of http://rosemilk.morgoth.com/wingsmain.html , which is a great wingmaking tutorial site.

Personally, I think you need special, snarky wings. There are instructions on that page for basic wing construction and instructions for fishnet wings... those could look cool with a corset...

The party's in two weeks. Could you? I'd pay you. Mmmmmm ca$h!!

[identity profile] rocketmelee.livejournal.com 2004-08-20 08:59 am (UTC)(link)
Absolutely! Do you have my email address? We'll need to work out all sorts of fun details, like color, glitter vs. no glitter, size, shape, securing method... :)

[identity profile] celeloriel.livejournal.com 2004-08-20 08:55 am (UTC)(link)
Just get your hair done for the party.

And the snark stick is a WAY better idea than any pissant wand. Could you stick Sharkey on it temporarily?

Don't do flowers. The Snark Fairy is not amused by your flowers.

But the circlet is so pretty!!

Agreed. I think the Snark Fairy needs the sort of faux diamond tiara that suggests conquest and subjugation of innumerable bitchy homecoming queens. :-)

You beat me to it!

I second that!

I agree with the need for a clue-by-four, and the need for a Munch tribute... maybe a clue-by-four topped with and image of Munch's head? A sort of Snark Sceptere...

[identity profile] rocketmelee.livejournal.com 2004-08-20 09:12 am (UTC)(link)
Okay, so now that I'm in craft-y, creative mode, I've started thinking... maybe I could craft a scepter out of sculpey, too... I could paint it, or leave it so you could paint it, and I could even decoupage Munch's face on the topper...

Mind you, I'm not one hundred percent sure it would work, but it should...

[identity profile] kellinator.livejournal.com 2004-08-20 09:22 am (UTC)(link)
Eeeep!! Eeeeep!! Now I'm really getting excited!!

How much do you think it will all run?

Hmmmmmmmm...

[identity profile] rocketmelee.livejournal.com 2004-08-20 09:41 am (UTC)(link)
Well, I could just do it for you at-cost, I guess. I'll have to buy sculpey and decorations, but I already have sealer and decoupage stuff. I'll need a picture of Munch, but if I can't find a magazine image I can clip, I can print one off of internet, so that won't factor into cost...
I'd put it somewhere between $10 and $20, just to be *really* safe, and that's probably including postage. Depending on how fancy we get with the decorations for the scepter (if we decide on adding beads or ribbon or what have you) it may go up a little, but I doubt it.

This is just me guestimating, though, and if I can make things less expensive then I will.

No no, I want to pay you for your labor!!

I'll keep brainstorming and we can talk about it over email. :)

Actually, I goofed. The party is next weekend. Do you still think it could happen? I'll understand if the answer's no.

Re: Hmmmmmmmm...

[identity profile] rocketmelee.livejournal.com 2004-08-20 11:14 am (UTC)(link)
It could still happen. I'll zap you an email.

Re: Hmmmmmmmm...

[identity profile] rocketmelee.livejournal.com 2004-08-20 12:02 pm (UTC)(link)
Email zapped! If you can decide on color and style-type stuff, I can make everything this weekend. :)

Sharkey!!! And definitely go with a cluebat. A cluebat with, like, stars and hearts.

[identity profile] kmn-rdr-caoimhe.livejournal.com 2004-08-20 10:41 am (UTC)(link)
Perhaps one of those oversized wiffle ball bats, for that "I CLUBBETH THEE!!! *bonk*" feel.

The Snark Fairy carries a clue-by-four for the targets of the snark, and tequila and shotglasses to alleviate the snark.
