Dazzler has posed:
With the upcoming show on the horizon, Alison needs to get a lot done in a very short time. The music is pretty well in order, since she plans on doing mostly retro-Dazzler stuff. But the costume... that's a whole different story. Ali had an initial chat with Alice, so she definitely has someone to make the suit for her. She just needs to make some decisions.

It helps that Alice's room is just down the hall in the Mansion. Alison knocks on the door, dressed comfortably in a pair of yoga pants and a loose-fitting t-shirt.

Red has posed:
As the door opens, it shows how alice has worked on stuff. Like, there's box of costume parts all over. There's a predator mask sitting on the closet, facing off against a spartan helmet sitting on another, different spartan helmet. The uper one is classical, the lower one Halo. And then there's a rack of PVC rolls lined up next to shoe soles, probably the source of sheer endless impossible boots. "Oh, hey Alison. What's it?"

Dazzler has posed:
Dazzler looks around, careful not to step inside just yet. "Hey, Alice. Just wanted to touch base with you and see if that costume offer was still good." she begins. "Because I really need to have a something before Andrea's tour kicks off. If you're up for batting some ideas around, that is."

Red has posed:
Alice nods, beckeoning the other one inside, gesturing to a chair. "Take a seat if you will. Oh, and have you anything particular in mind, maybe something you wanna reuse? I mean, you had had a career before..."

Dazzler has posed:
Dazzler pads into the room on bare feet, settling into the chair and tucking up a knee as a chin-rest. "Well I've been giving it a lot of thought, and I'm thinking that I'd like to keep a retro look. But with a modern twist, if you will." Drawing a breath, she exhales slowly. "So something -like- the white jumpsuit, but definitely not polyester."

Red has posed:
Alice says, "There's other materials, sure. PVC can be super shiny, also known as fake leather. I use it for my boots." Alice says, pointing to the rolls. "And then there's of course other stuff. Rubber for example, though that'd be a pain to wear as it's super hot under it.""

Dazzler has posed:
Dazzler grins and looks over at the boots, nodding. "I can't imagine that PVC or rubber would be terribly comfortable for a long concert, unless there's something you could do to make it more breathable." She pauses, then adds. "But I want something that'll be eye-catching. And preferably light-catching."

Red has posed:
Alice says, "Hey, PVC isn't thaaaat bad. I mean, sure, it's warm, but I know a few tricks to at least not overheat. But sure, could be hard under spotlight. Eyecatching, lightcatching, so you want shiny. And for eyecatching, you know, we could add strategic cuts and gashes, and of course do the classic trick of inflating assets by clothing.""

Dazzler has posed:
Dazzler tilts her head a little, lifting a blonde brow. "Nothing... TOO exaggerated." she replies. "In this Internet age, the LAST thing I want is speculation about Dazzler's boob job during her hiatus from singing."

Red has posed:
"Well, strategic lacing can also help a lot. Not adding so much as shaping what is there. Display the goods properly, so to say." Alice notes, tapping her chin. "And of course presentation... I mean, there have been stars on stage wearing fake nips under T-shirts to keep the appearance they wanted."

Dazzler has posed:
Dazzler coughs softly, shifting a little in her seat. She looks down, then back to Alice. "Well there's nothing wrong with my nips..." she replies, perhaps a bit too quickly. And is it warm in the room, or is that a flush on her cheeks? "Nothing that'll provide fodder to the Internet trolls, please."

Red has posed:
"Then we most certainly smooth over that area, no matter what you war beneath!" Alice notes with a chuckle. "Though, we should get some sketches done, or should we go straight to trying stuff out? I mean, your choice."

Dazzler has posed:
Dazzler lowers her leg, then she rises. While some people might get uncomfortable being used as a living mannequin, Dazzler isn't new to show business. "However you want to work, Alice. Let's try a few things and see what you've got."

Red has posed:
"Okok, so let me grab some materials... Let's start with PVC on the arms. Just to see how it feels." Alice explains, picking up a sample piece and putting it around Dazzler's arm, smoothing it around the wrist and then merging the seams on the underside, then having the seam vanish as she works. "How's that? Maybe more?"

Dazzler has posed:
Dazzler extends her arm, watching curiously as the PVC is molded and seam-fitted to it. She turns it back and forth, looking at it curiously. "My jumpsuit was sleeveless and had a low-plunging neckline." she replies. "This doesn't feel bad, but let's try something else." It's going to be a long afternoon...
