What kind of flowers do you guys like? (If any)
"It really depends on the occasion or the season--flowers go in and out of fashion too, you know. But Juliet roses, of course! Not because of my name, but because they're incredibly rare and and expensive!" As always, Romeo loves luxury goods--and that includes fancy, expensive flowers. "More common flowers. . .I suppose I like peonies and anemones. And honeysuckle have positive memories for me. There's also fireweed. Since they often grow after fires, using my stigma in certain areas sometimes gives them space to pop up. It feels a bit like leaving a mark somewhere I know I've blown something up."
"I like droopy flowers and tiny flowers, like bellflowers and lily of the valley--and I have kalanchoe and oxalis in my room I think are kinda cute? Fairy boy always calls me Daffodil, and I'm kinda into those, too. I guess not because of the flowers but touch-me-nots are pretty cool too--I think it's kind of intelligent that they can learn not to associate different stimulus with danger and stop shriveling up in response to them."
#str8upjorkinit#answers#present: romeo#present: leo#anonymous#((this took as long as it did because i don't know anything about flowers lmao))#((same as the hair and skincare answers. the acne one i could do though i've read some stuff about that recently))#((also same about like. memes and tiktok culture lmaooooo))#((this isn't a complaint ofc! i like doing little surface level research on stuff like that for characters! it's just an explanation))#((like when i was thinking about playing leo and romeo i was like. man i don't know anything about the things that they like lol))#((fashion? i like looking at clothes and taking character insp from them that's about it))#((beauty care stuff? hair care? completely off my radar))#((tiktok? lol. lmao even. i watch video game streamers and that's about it))

leopard is literally my drag monster icon i strive to look like it if i ever do drag shows one day. do you have any central themes for leopards drag other than the sea? id love to see it in like dog/werewolf themed drag
ARUGRGRG HONOURED, he's very much whatever i want to be too. Strap in I'm gonna take this as an excuse to ramble about this and drag persona thoughts. Like I've been trying to define my own persona for a minute, been going hog on pinterest boarding for myself and disparate inspirations, almost too many to wittle down without just getting in and exploring shit obviously. And I felt silly about letting Leopard be my character, but then it's like. What's more drag than having a person in your head that makes you feel powerful and speaks to you. So it's like well I guess it's you then huh. Guess that's gonna be me. I figure it's like fashion in general where I like a lot of it but what I like vs what feels good to wear is a different question.
Anyway yeah Sea themeing is really really central to them. I really like the idea of its fashion being very shredded, body focused, visceral but then also with aspects of like old glamor because it's just cunty, it's compelling and striking. Love love love that kinda heavy droopy hooded eye look and bold lip moment, high brows. Divine is a big insp.
I also LOVE when drag artists have associated textures with their fashion. barnacles, mould, burns, general distress, seaweed textures, old harbor ropes, everything about estuarys and ship docks that are aged ect. diving suits, any kinda cargo jumpsuit, handyman tradie core butchy labor. Second association I've kinda pulled from is lace / religious vibes because it's also reallyyyy compelling to me. Again TEXTURE dense wool, dense lace, weathering, rusty charms, crosses, sheer fabrics weighed down by chains and old belts and boots. THICK material gross denim.
The idea of being "Taken over" by unpleasantness and poor hygeine. I grew up in a way that was like viciously conditional, like trying to isolate the problem to appease but every part of your body has its own separate disappointments and harms, every part of your brain, clothes, presentation, you know. Like Leopard to me is the worst case sceneario to the parent and the abuser, like it's every trait they wish was left at the doorstep and away from them and it's like taking every bissected part of your brain and body that trauma cut into pieces and putting it back into one body that's like. Okay. I'm not in fragments anymore I'm unified by repulsion and indulgence. It's like that whole thing of being trans is like being your own murderer, to your parents idea of you. Leopard's like something that was drowned and came back, it's like all the black stuff purged after an exorcism became a person, you burned it alive and now it lives in smoke, it's a lace bridesmaid haunting you and it's laughing. Right. Warped memory come back to life, it's waking up. I don't really want to call it a vengeful character as much as it's just like. it's taking all those unpleasant cuttings and infections and stitching them back together.
Anyway anyway I'm indecisive, still early days obviously, and I don't have a drag mother so I'm just feeling it out in whatever way I can. uhhhh anyway here's some dogged up leopards. The first one doesn't really Feel like it to me but the 2nd one absolutely is. I'll probably workshop it more, drenched seadog. wouldsmell so bad. Again trying to see how I can include different motifs for it while still coming back to those core themes.

OH YEAH I’VE SEEN THOSE cyberpunk is such a messy game sndhdkdhfjsk. HOLY SHIT THAT TRAILER MADE ME SO EXCITED! sjshdkdjfjdk god this game is so amazing yet fucking huge... how the hell will it fit any phone if it keeps getting bigger and bigger..?
nooo don’t worry i’m having fun tbh. and i’m super motivated too so that might be the case. also i switched the dub to japanese just before venti’s story mission and i’m loving it so much. thankfully there isn’t too much battle yet to distract me but god i love all their voices so far. venti... hinata finally started to actual fly. i like diluc’s voice too! love his actually, super fitting for his character. 🥺
WOULD KEITH LOOK LIKE THIS IRL... he probably would 😭 greasy boy lived in the desert his hair is probably so bad 😭 what kind of mullet would you want though? like s1 keith or s7 keith? or do you have a specific kpop artist’s hair you wanna replicate? OOO.... rock star? 😳💢 what’s your clothing style if you had to describe it? also what are your thoughts about tattoos and piercings? since we’re on the topic of punk rock hdjdsksj.
idk why i find your beef with slow songs so funny aksjdhdjdhdjsk like i can just imagine you groaning bc a song doesn’t pick up the pace lol (omo...... where would we go? 😳)
treasure hoarders are fun to fight bc they just cuss you the fuck out sjdkdkshd. i like when they yell at you yet they’re so weak like fuck off dude. THE HILICHURLS ARE KIND OF CUTE YOU’RE RIGHT especially the ones that dance or sleep and you interrupt them... 🥺 personally i like fighting the slimes i think they’re adorable. they just bounce and their music isn’t too loud or annoying. you know what i fucking hate? goddamn ruin guards i can’t stand them and their aggressive music dhdjdkshs. their drop rates are shit but hilichurls are also the most common enemy, right?
after dinner? aww. same! it’s such a nice way to wind down; a cup of tea and some candle lights.. i love all of those flavors Except matcha, it just doesn’t work for me kdhddk i feel like green tea tastes like grass.. sometimes i drink it bc it’s healthy but i’m Not happy. otherwise i’m like you i drink practically everything. mostly black tea though because that’s what most common in my culture i suppose. djdkdj i used to be so good at drinking water but since i’ve been at home a lot it’s been getting worse... i do have a water bottle by my side always bc as much as i drink other things clean water is important too! are you good at drinking water?
do you know about the euphoria make up style though? it’s super colorful and lots of glitter and abstract shapes it’s so amazing and it would fit xiao so well. like imagine him in bold aqua and purple make up with lots of shimmer... 🥴

and i like them!! when i was 14 i wanted to get a tongue piercing FKHDSHFKSDHFKSD but i never did lol. but i did get a double helix piercing in dec finally!!!!!!! i think i’m done now tbh (aside from that i only have my lobes pierced) but yeah it’s not a big desire of mine. i had a dream once tho where i was decked out in piercings and thought it was very Cool. as for tattoos, i’ve always wanted to get one! and last year i was lowkey toying around with the idea of getting a sleeve but realistically i cannot bc well. med. (if anyone reading this has a good stable well paying job for me that’ll allow me to quit uni... hmu FHSFHDSFKJSD) you??
FHSKDFHDS yeahhh it’s so awkward when people are recommending me songs and it’s slow bc im just like “mm yeah it’s nice.” and if it does actually pick up the pace then i’m like “i liked the fast parts” FHSDKFSD. (wherever you want to go baby 😉 wait omg..... read running on air that just have me.. roa vibes HFKJDSHFKSHFKSD)

⁽ we’ll be each other’s company, oh, company ₎
august eval ♥ with @rkzyx ♬ insp.
when yixing had originally presented her with his song choice for the evaluation, admittedly, hyeri hadn’t hesitated a second before agreeing to it. she trusted her partner well enough to make a suitable choice for them without her input and he had. however, on second thought, the dancer thinks the song might have been a little too suitable for them.
it’s not until hyeri’s alone at home, earbuds plugged in and foot lazily tapping out the rhythm to the beat that she notices it: the utter familiarity of the lyrics compared to her and yixing’s current relationship. she could have pegged it down to coincidence ( after all, most people liked the biebs’ music even if they couldn’t stand the artist himself ) but, once hyeri had gotten the idea in her head -- that these lyrics hit way too close to home -- she simply couldn’t abandon it afterwards. only two months had passed since yixing asked her out to the restaurant to talk and hyeri still remembered the deadened look in his eyes as they spoke about those personal things. love troubles, where they’d been, where they’d been going; above all, hyeri remembered the tone of yixing’s voice and how well it’d matched her own depressing one once myungsoo had left her ( again. )
they really had been each other’s company. ‘just wanna have a conversation/forget about the obligations.’ biebs’ voice crooned through the studio’s speakers and hyeri couldn’t shake away the similarity, even during a rehearsal when she should be focusing on the choreography instead. yixing teaches it to her himself, improvising moves from his own imagination and asking for her opinion every now and then during the partnered movements. hyeri does her best during all of that, forcing a smile and then smiling for real whenever the male catches her fake act in a moment of attention. she’s not immune to his worried glances every now and then but hyeri’s too much of a liar to let him know the thoughts that continually plague her.
sometimes ‘just friends’ is complicated, too. “what do you think of--” “no, raise your leg more there--” “are you sure about--?” “spin out here--” “you take my hand and, no, wait, let’s do this--”
it takes trial and error, bumps and bruises, lots of laughs and painful nights before hyeri feels like she’s ready for the performance. yixing’s choreography is fun, playful, and the dancer can’t believe how utterly a contrast it is to the very real problems that keep her up awake at night. she still worries about yixing, hopes that his troubles have lessened in the last four weeks, but there’s guilt, too, that hyeri has only added on to his personal burdens with this dance. And afterwards… when this performance is done and over, they’ll have to go back to friends with no obligations. ones who talk only when an ear and a shoulder is needed for the other to cry on. it’s an unsettling, bittersweet reality.
“kt’s laugh grenade, lee hyeri, here to dance!” the girl announces cheerfully on the day of the performance. she salutes the judges with a wave of her hand and her dancer coach rolls his eyes dramatically-- a bit too used to this particular trainee’s antics. “just get on with it,” the male coach growls and hyeri grins in response, afterwards tugging at yixing’s arm excitedly.
“he’s a fan of us already, i know it,” she whispers in her partner’s ear. hyeri reaches up to adjust the collar of the flannel shirt yixing wears, smoothing it out with the palms of her hands and glancing up at him with a warm smile. “i’m your fan, too, you know? let’s do this, chicken-lover zhang yixing,” she teases. her own costume is just as casual as his: ragged denim shorts and an oversized flannel shirt to cover a simple graphic tee underneath. the couple’s fashion is subtle but unmistakable, designating her and yixing as a unit as they take their starting positions on the floor.
yixing had been adamant about giving hyeri enough parts in the choreography to show off her own skills and she agreed to take advantage of every single one of them, starting at the very beginning. when the music starts, she’s already in character, gifting her dance partner with a flirty smile as she struts forward to the center. she’s the flame and yixing is her willing moth, coming towards hyeri and complimenting her movements with his graceful ease. once the choreography had been nailed down, fostering the chemistry between the two dancers had come next. that, of course, had been the easy part.
You ain't gotta be my lover For you to call me baby Never been about no pressure Ain't that serious
they separate and dance together, limbs extending and feet moving in sync with one another. it is rare that hyeri gets to dance with a male on par to her skill ( taemin being the only one for a long time ) and she still feels the headiness on stage of getting to dance freely, without having to be too thoughtful of making her companion look weaker in comparison. yixing could hold his own against her, so well as to make her worry about what she’d look like beside him-- a novel sensation. that kind of challenge drives her -- inspires her to work harder and to dance even better than before.
Can we, we keep Keep each other company? Maybe we, can be Be each other's company Oh company
every touch of yixing’s hand feels like fire against her skin and clothing. this man represents comfort to her, a reliable partner whose very touch lets her know that he’s there, ready to catch her. hyeri trusts him to do just that, relaxing her slim frame and letting him twist and drop her in the elegant flow of the routine. his grip around her waist is strong and supportive, and her answering smile is all too real as hyeri looks up at yixing once more. he drifts away to dance his solo part and she can’t look away from him even if she wanted to. yixing’s charisma is magnetic, too attractive for someone like her to want to run away from.
( she’d be outright lying to say her heart didn’t flutter at moments like this. )
she rises with the tips of his fingers beneath her chin. hyeri’s lips part around quickened breaths and she effortlessly transitions back into their couple’s dance. together, apart, his hands on her hips and her eyes on the audience, dancing feels like a dream when it’s this easy with one another. it also lets hyeri forgets all her thoughts except those that matter in the moment: where to put what foot where, at what beat. where the hands go.
the other thoughts she can leave for later.

4-Year-Old Learns Important Lessons by Dressing Up as Great Women of the World
4-year-old Ana recently dressed up as Wonder Woman. (Photo: _analabanana/Twitter)
Daniela Peña, who goes by @_analabanana on Instagram, has found a fashionable and fun way to teach her 4-year-old daughter, Ana, about powerful and influential women in the world.
The mother and daughter, who hail from Bogotá, Colombia, team up to recreate famous images of women — similar to the way that others, including this Brooklyn family, have used Instagram for stylish teaching moments. As a fashion designer, Peña developed the idea for the Instagram account when Ana was even younger than 4.
“I choose to stay home with Ana to take care of her, and that was a decision I made with my husband. At the beginning, it was a lot of free time because she was napping a lot because she was a baby. Then she grew, and she was enjoying it a lot,” Peña tells Yahoo Style on the evolution of the account. “She was saying, ‘I want this and I want that!’ She really loved posing for the pictures. One day I found a book for kids, and it was telling stories of great women of the world.”
Ana has dressed up as a number of notable women in history, film, and pop culture — many of whom have made great contributions to society. She recently dressed up as the popular superheroine Wonder Woman.
Wonder Woman
A post shared by ANA (@_analabanana) on Jun 16, 2017 at 2:19pm PDT
“Ana got really excited when I told her we were dressing up as a superhero from a movie,” Peña shares on her daughter’s costume.
Diana Princess of the Amazons, trained Warrior, Wonder Woman was designated by the United Nations as its Honorary Ambassador for the Empowerment of Women and Girls, a gesture intended to promote gender equality and empowerment of women and girls.
A post shared by ANA (@_analabanana) on Jun 16, 2017 at 2:08pm PDT
“She got even more excited when she learned about Wonder Woman — a female superhero who was a princess but also a warrior with super strength,” Peña says.
She needed a hero. So that's what she became.
A post shared by ANA (@_analabanana) on Jun 16, 2017 at 2:09pm PDT
“You can see the fierceness in Ana’s face in the pictures she really got into the heroine character,” Peña shares. “She also learned how she can be like Wonder Woman in her life by believing in her strength and fighting for what she believes!”
Ana also recently copied Emma Stone’s look for her character Mia in La La Land.
Mia (Emma Stone) La La Land "Here's to the ones who dream, foolish as they may seem. Here's to the hearts that ache. Here's to the mess we make. She captured feeling, sky with no ceiling, the sunset inside with rain."
A post shared by ANA (@_analabanana) on Feb 27, 2017 at 9:27am PST
Peña captioned the image, “Mia (Emma Stone) La La Land ‘Here’s to the ones who dream, foolish as they may seem. Here’s to the hearts that ache. Here’s to the mess we make. She captured feeling, sky with no ceiling, the sunset inside with rain.”
She also made a miniversion of Emma Watson’s look from the Paris premiere of Beauty and the Beast. The caption notes that the actress’s custom Louis Vuitton dress was created from used plastic bottles.
Emma Watson is making the rounds on a press tour for her forthcoming movie Beauty and the Beast, and taking on a little fashion activism on the way With a Custom @louisvuitton dress designed by @nicolasghesquiere and created from used plastic bottles.
A post shared by ANA (@_analabanana) on Feb 22, 2017 at 11:33am PST
Peña “loves” Watson because she’s “a role model that I want for my kid who teaches girls that they can be intelligent, and that beauty is not only what you can see with your eyes but something that’s in your soul.”
The dress that Peña created for her daughter looks very similar to Watson’s Louis Vuitton frock, designed by the creative director of the house, Nicolas Ghesquière. Peña’s creation appeared to impress Ghesquière, as he liked the three posts she shared of her daughter wearing the homemade piece.
Watson’s stylist, Rebecca Corbin-Murray, also appeared to love the re-creation. She posted the image with the caption, “Major fashionista in the making!! Never too young to love fashion — and never too young to care about where your clothes come from and who made them!”
In the past, Ana has channeled others who have made an impact in the fashion industry. In early February, the 4-year-old sported a blond wig, black sunglasses, and a sleek black coat with white sandals to mirror Anna Wintour, the editor in chief of Vogue.

She dressed up as another Vogue icon — the magazine’s creative director at large and renowned stylist, Grace Coddington — a month before.

For this costume, she slipped on a rather large red wig — similar to Coddington’s signature untamed mane — and a black jacket.
Another fashion figure Ana has emulated? Jackie Kennedy. In December 2016, Ana wore a red coat, with a matching hat and white gloves, that mirrored the Oleg Cassini suit that Kennedy wore in 1961.

She even posed as Coco Chanel! “Gabrielle Bonheur ‘Coco’ Chanel was a very talented and creative French fashion designer and businesswoman,” Peña wrote in the lengthy caption of the image.
Gabrielle Bonheur "Coco" Chanel was a very talented and creative French fashion designer and businesswoman In 1917 She was so inspired by the sailors’ uniform that she incorporated the stripes into her nautical collection. The casual design helped break away from the heavily corseted fashion of the time, changing the world of Fashion Forever. There is a special set of books: "little people big dreams" biography books for children about inspiring women. A major inspiration for this project. Thank You @mariaisabelsanchezvegara and @ana__albero ❤️

Another influential figure Ana is inspired by? Rosa Parks. She created Parks’ famous booking photo from her February 1956 arrest, with her hair pulled up in braids and wearing oversize glasses.
This wonderful woman is Rosa Parks she was a very influential leader and I admire that she continued to fight for a better life for future generations until the day she passed.

Mexican painter Frida Kahlo was the subject of another hit re-creation on Instagram.

“I told Ana the story of Frida, and she loved the story because when Frida was a little girl, she was very different from the other girls. That made her feel so special,” Peña explains to Yahoo Style. “When I told Ana the story, she loved it and told me she wanted to dress like Frida. So I did it.”
Peña teaches her daughter about each of the people she dresses up as. “I tried to choose people that were really inspiring — the stories of really empowering women,” Peña says. “That’s what I want for my kid. I started to think of course we love Disney princesses, but I don’t want her to think that the only role model she can have is to be a princess.” She continues, “I want her to think that she can be more like Princess Leia — she can be against the empire and fight with the rebels, things like that.”
Peña continued, “She’s always asking to dress like Princess Leia because we’ve seen the movie three times. She loves Star Wars.”

Ana’s favorite character so far? Rey, the great fictional female lead from Star Wars: The Force Awakens.

Considering that Peña loves strong female characters, Mayim Bialik, an accomplished actress and neuroscientist, was another fitting costume choice. Ana dressed up as Bialik’s character, Amy Farrah Fowler, from The Big Bang Theory.

Other re-creations have included iconic female characters in history, like Dorothy from The Wizard of Oz.

The duo really enjoys the process. “We also do costumes just for fun. She loves Toy Story and all the Pixar movies,” says Peña.
