That’s the modern Orange Blossom iteration, updated to be modern and stuff. I guess she is in Velma-ish colors. You could try the older iteration of her, but the costume would be much harder unless you can sew. Although it’d work better with any length of hair, if yours is short.
Actually, Jodie isn’t all that cynical – at least not compared with Daria – and is a lot more of an idealist. And condescending isn’t a word I’d use to describe her either so personality wise you’re probably good.
Catwoman.
Catwoman has been black, and has been in cartoons. Probably at some point at the same time, although I’m not bothering to research that.
If you want to deprive the world of **MeanOldLady **in a catsuit, then you hate America.
How is there an answer besides Lana Kane!? AWESOME costume idea.
Girrrrl, don’t you know I’ve seen every episode of Daria ever? I even saw that stupid summer camp movie. Not ashamed!
Let’s not start getting silly now. I’m very serious about needing to have my mid-section flattered, which means obscured as much as possible. No baring of midriff, no catsuits, no vinyl. Been a long time since I’ve worn a two-piece to the beach, my mind. Loooong time.
Hey, don’t you watch the Disney Channel? The Proud Family! Go as Suga Mama. Dooooo eeetttttttttt!
Or else Dijonasse, or however she spells her name. I think of her every time I make a sandwich.
Her name is Penelope.
I don’t know if I’m being a jerk by saying this, but I thought of this thread while debating on getting Lion King (the stage version) tickets.
Nala? Err…maybe make your own.
Really, you could just pick any animal from a cartoon if you don’t want to do the ‘black’ cartoon character thing.
That’s actually super cute! I would totally wear that. And I realize I can go as anyone I want, but I’m kind of sold on this whole black thing. There have been some good suggestions here, so I’m pretty sure I’ll be able to work something out. Headed to the costume shop this weekend. Huzzah!
I came to suggest Orange Blossom. Also, if you go as Tiana, dress as her when she’s a frog. that would be hilarious! *
*I failed to convince Celtling to do this, and suspect I will fail to convince you as well. :: sigh ::
Well, it isn’t cutesy or feminine but Marvin the Martian is covered from head to toe and the only visible part of him is his face which is black. Then you’d get to shoot people with a phaser all night long and walk around saying, “This makes me very angry!”
Yeah, but then she’d have to kiss William Shatner. Ugh.
As homecoming queen, Jodie was quite cynical. Until she saw a little black girl on the side of the parade route. So if she were dressing as homecoming queen Jodie, it would be quasi-necessary to snark about being the town’s token minority.
I’ll throw down for a Daria pissing match with anybody, any day!
Hijack here: Have they invented Mime Spray yet?
You mean like this?
That’s what I’m looking for. Someone should win a Nobel for that.
