Apocalyptic Fashion Swap! Sign-ups Jan 02 - Jan 21 , Send outs March 8th!

Huh, that adds some clarity to the album, the spoken tracks particularly. I hadn't listened to MCR in years and a friend was playing it in her car and I sort of fell in love all over. This new information is sort of making me love it more.

Oddly enough, one of my imaginary scenarios was much like that - takeover and a rebel, renegade group. One of my others is some sort of nuclear apocalypse. Rebuilding from nothing. Loves me some gas masks and SARS gaurds. And they're useful when I do spraypainting / chemically obnoxious crafts.

I like anything resulting in some sort of multicultural blending of styles. Dig it.

And Fullmoon, it says you sent late with communication, so I'm really not too worried about that. I say that I'll refuse people because some people just send in their questionnaire and never say a word again, and theres usually something in their feedback about bad communication...

Then once I have a free slot, I will likely sign up. The swaps I sent late on all say late w/ communication. ^_^

Oh yes!
I just had a post apocalyptic photo shoot requested from em so I would love to wear some stuff from this swap in it. So much fun!

[midnight]

oh, I KNOW i really shouldnt......but I probably will anyway 

[Angelicus]

I'm thinking I will probably join for defo now Thanks for the reassurance about non clothes items. Can you mkae up your own apocalyptic scenaria? I have a random idea surrounding theatre and becoming ;stuck' in a play so to speak.

Anyway, I will think more and probably fill in the questionnaire sometime this week.

[Alchamy513]

Yeah, any end of the world scenario is great, as long as you can explain it well enough to your partner!

[ShannonMB]

Whoo hoo....I'm in!!  Sooooo excited...sooo many plans!!   

[Aveykin]

I'm going away for a couple weeks for a memorial service, so *if* I get back in time to sign up, I definitely will be!

[psyche]

Okay, so I'm all hyped up about the apocalypse, but I'm not REALLY sure what I would make/ask for in a swap. Does anyone have any good links to apocalyptic fashion, or other apocalyptically-inspiring things?

[Alchamy513]

I posted one in the swap idea thread.... and I have a lot of things in my wists. I will probably compile a little list this weekend (or soonish, I need to stop being sick so I can sit here for a while and focus) of some links and such. Also googling "Post-Apocalyptic Fashion" or distopian or apocalypse or anything like that and looking at images helps a lot too!

I personally like googles, hip-bags, reconstructed clothing (like threadbare sweaters with patches or mishmashed random clothing), arm warmers... I plan on trying to make it to the army surplus store (or searching online) once I assign partners to look at stuff too. Anything that looks like it survived the end of the world really...

Oh, and I plan on making a list of Apocalypse scenarios that I'll post as well when I do this!

*********************

I wanted to also make another little note here on getting ideas: WISTS! They are so helpful... and addictive! They really help when you get a partner; even if they don't have anything on there that is swap-specific its a great way to get to know them. I feel like my wists represents my personal style, even though I never really tried to make it "me" and I love when my partner has one I can stalk and get ideas off of!
