One last dose of costume spammage before the holiday! (Otherwise known as: I am on a bus and want to look at pretty pictures.)

So our last episode's winner, by a landslide, was this marvel of a suit combination:



But it is going to be facing some stiff competition this week, which features my favorite thing: UNCONVINCING CROSS-DRESSING.



1.

First, though, we need to examine how last week's winner has decided to dress today. Personally, I think it's an improvement! While the effect of the two completely different kinds of pinstripes matched with the hideous green tie is still fairly epic, at least the white fedora doesn't clash with anything else.



Though, on close-up, the color choices in that shirt reveal themselves to be subtly ridiculous.

2 and 3.

I kept waffling about which outfit deserved the top five slot more, Woo Wan's or his (step)mother's, and then decided I could not in conscience exclude either of them. Look at his mom's nifty little thirties suit and adorable hat! I would totally wear that outfit, if I had an excuse. Her excellent eyeroll is also a fantastic accessory.



But there is just something about the effect of the extremely jaunty green-trimmed fedora, on top of the highly dapper blue-and-black suit ensemble, that it cannot be denied is . . . well, an effect. (Bonus points for the fact that he randomly changes suits in the middle of the scene with his mom, for reasons I don't even remember. PROBABLY JUST BECAUSE HE'S WOO WAN. If he wears the same suit for too long, it spontaneously reforms into a new and even more fabulous one around his body.)

New contender - you'll be seeing a lot of her (she's evil! We're supposed to mock her outfits!) - SACHIKO, wife of the Japanese consul, wrapped up like a Christmas present in a bow and the most epic pile of gauze ever seen in 1930's Korea.



You don't like her new outfit? TALK TO THE HAND.

5.

Did I not promise you amazingly unconvincing crossdressing?



NO ONE WOULD SUSPECT ANYTHING OUT OF THE ORDINARY.

And if the drag wasn't awesome enough by itself, the outfit is made even more awesome by the way in which Na Yeo Kyeung comes by her new duds:



FORCING WOO WAN TO STRIP AT GUNPOINT, while she modestly averts her eyes from the unseemly sight of his man-flesh. (Yes, okay, I just wanted to include this screencap. CAN YOU BLAME ME.)

No Cha Song Joo, this round! I AM AS SHOCKED AS YOU. But she spends most of the episode in her nightclothes, and I guess occasionally other people ought to get a turn.

I can't choose! D= First I think well obviously Woo Wan's mom jaunty suit is the best of all! But then I consider the rarity of a Christmas gauze outfit. And obviously Na Yeo Kyeung's unconvincing crossdressing is amazing but can it legitimately be called FABULOUS? And of course Woo Wan's outfit sneaks up on me by virtue of the hat (t's what makes the outfit. Without it I could safely take his suit out of the competition). DECISIONS.

[skygiants]

This is why I make you lot choose for me! HOW TO DECIDE. IT IS IMPOSSIBLE. (Just the process of narrowing down to five is often EXTREMELY DIFFICULT.)

Hahaha BECCA WHAT ARE YOU DOING TO ME? It is finals time! I do not have the time to go back and rewatch this entire series! But -- look at all of these amazing characters in their amazing outfits generally just being amazing? WHO CAN RESIST? (I am trying, mind you, BUT IT IS HARD.)

And oh man, I love all of these outfits, how to chooooose?

Long story short: I love you and this and am really, really indecisive.

[skygiants]

Hahahaha man Margo, you don't know how happy I am that innerbrat is giving me an excuse to watch the series on semi-regular watching dates, otherwise I would just be spending ALL MY TIME racing through on a rewatch. IT WOULD BE PROBLEMATIC. (I may already spend a little too much time rewatching bits when screencapping for this . . .)

I. I. I. WOW. <33333333

[skygiants]

I HIGHLY ENCOURAGE THIS. IT IS SO GLORIOUS. IN SO MANY WAYS. *_____*

I WILL ALWAYS VOTE FOR CROSS-DRESSING

[skygiants]

BECAUSE CROSS-DRESSING IS ALWAYS THE BEST >:D >:D >:D

[schiarire.livejournal.com]

THERE MAY BE A PATTERN IN MY VOTING.

>>PROBABLY JUST BECAUSE HE'S WOO WAN. If he wears the same suit for too long, it spontaneously reforms into a new and even more fabulous one around his body.<<

TRUE!

[skygiants]

But you have not voted! :O And therefore I could not notice a pattern. Unless it is with my BRAIN.

IT IS HIS SUPERPOWER.

I must vote for the bowtie. Because "bowties are cool." :D

[skygiants]

Fezzes are cool too! Sadly, Woo Wan has not yet embraced this. BUT SOMEDAY, I FEEL SURE.
