When I saw the sub-title of this entry was "Fashion No-Nos" I though "Uh, Oh; I'm about to be slammed!" But I actually have eight "In"s and only one "Out." I must be more fashionable than I thought!

Tycho, you have GOT to get rid of that butt skirt!

sweetie wonders how a an avatar, stiff with cold dead fingers that once held a butt skirt could be put to good use on pele.

Hmm, a planter? so cliche. We could dress him in a smart tux and have him hold a serving tray... nah.. ah i know he can hold our surrender flag up to fool the ghosts on the pirate ship next door! oh very good ..... now how to cut his parachute cords so we can get to the dead part faster! sigh i keep forgetting you can't kill an avatar! rofl ;)
