the_siobhan: It means, "to rot" (Default)
[personal profile] the_siobhan
I'm trying to distract myself at work because I'm sore and grumpy and I get to go home soon but the clock is moving too damn slowly.

So.

[livejournal.com profile] the_axel asked me today what I'm wearing to the Elvis wedding[1].

My answer was, "I have no friggin' idea."

What would you suggest?




[1]For those who maybe haven't heard, we're going to be in Vegas in August. Where you can get married by Elvis[2]. So we are. [livejournal.com profile] bcholmes and [livejournal.com profile] mr_sharkey have agreed to be bridesmaids and promose to wear Hideous Prom Dress Nightmares for the occasion. I think I'd like to dress up as well, but I honestly can't decide what in.

[2]Also by Captain Kirk in the Star Trek Wedding package and by Death in the Goth wedding package. Or in a car in the drive-through wedding chapel. The possibilities are endless!

What is Axel planning to wear? The two of you could go in Elvis jumpsuits...or for some reason I could see you Sio in a pin striped zoot suit but I'm not entirely sure why...

I've always thought Sio needed a black zoot suit with purple pin stripes and a purple tie.

I like this idea (pin striped zoot suit) a lot!

I also think that a white or cream linen suit with a swanky hat could be very nice. But that might just be because I have kind of a thing for linen suits.

Axel told me that you were strongly considering wearing a replica of the '68 Comeback Special black leather suit. I think that would look awesome. Inappropriate thoughts awesome.

That is, in fact, what my first thought was.

Make it sew.

If you go Elvis, you totally need to do the older Elvis with the sequined jumpsuits. Otherwise, it's just not cheesy enough.

Maybe Axel should wear the white dress?

On second thought, he does look pretty sharp in a suit.

I just happened to snag a HIDEOUS (actually, it's not that bad, as these things go) 1980s strapless wedding gown from a drag show costime closet the other day. It would probably fit him. I was going to put it in the pile of free shit at the Burn, but I could save it.

You'll need to get several martinis into him to get him into that dress.

I'll supply the gin.

I am in favor of tuxes in general.

Also I think coordinating, in some way, is a good idea for the main players at a wedding. Matching tuxes works. Complementary but not identical clothing works too.

I think getting married by Elvis and dressing like Elvis is too much Elvis in one place.

And that is what I think.

I was wondering what the most ridiculous figure to be married by would be, and almost started to type "Can you be married by God?".

Clearly, someone needs to dress up as Richard Dawkins, and someone needs to dress as Lalla Ward. And someone needs to dress as Christopher Hitchens.

And somebody somewhere has undoubtedly done this for the sole purpose of having an atheist-oriented orgy.

an atheist-oriented orgy.

Is there any way in which an orgy is not un-Christian-Godly?

I've heard some pretty crazy things about pagan gatherings, which while also un-Christian, is not atheist-oriented. ;)

I'd draw you a diagram but I'm feeling lazy. So just imagine a big circle that says UN-CHRISTIAN, and then two smaller circles inside it, one of which says PAGAN and the other of which says ATHEIST, but the PAGAN and ATHEIST circles don't intersect. :)

With sobriety and sleep that now makes perfect sense.

Although upon further reflection, I suppose the two inner circles would kind of be a Venn diagram, and in the intersecting part would be the people into chaos magic. Because oddly, I do know atheists who are into the whole chaos-magic thing. o_O People: they're complex. ;)

BTW, still coordinating (because it would be helpful to, say, find out whether Kira has actually been ACCEPTED to any of her colleges-of-choice, and if so, when the bloody school year starts -- we won't know for sure until next month), but we are planning on coming!! :D
