This is a song I've been hoping to do since I came up with this idea last December. In fact, now that I've fulfilled it, I may quit the song challenge and just go back to Mostly Pantsless 2011, because I'll be honest: I'm getting a little bored of the song thing already. (Short attention span, anyone?)
So, as can be seen in the video, (here is the link again) the theme of the outfits is inspired by that one musical that I always forget the name of (yeah, that was impressive knowledge right there)... most importantly, there is a feminine side, and a more masculine side. I felt I could capture this best by building two different outfits around the same general idea. One super, super feminine, the other with a more "masculine" twist. Furthermore, there is an interview with Mika that can be found somewhere in the depths of Youtube explaining the concept behind the song... the rich businessman who thinks he has all these problems, and wants to blame everyone but himself, primarily all the people who would use their wily and evil ways to distract him (yes, including boys... one of the lines in the song is in fact "blame it on the boys who keep hitting on you")... so even the more masculine outfit needed to still be super feminine.
So, the similarities are the shirt (I love this shirt to death, I really do. It's so comfy, so versatile, I feel so skinny in it no matter what, and even being plain and versatile, it's probably the most girly shirt I've ever owned in my life), the accessories, and the style of shoes (though I did make a point of changing the actual shoes)
So, the incredibly feminine outfit:
And the more masculine outfit:
Just in case I do try again tomorrow, the song will be:
Chain Gang of Love, by The Raveonettes
