\*\*Crunchy! \*\* That jacket is ab-so-lutey the best thing I have ever seen. One thing, you need either a fez or a fedora to complete the ensemble. I vote for a fez. Not enough of them around anymore. \*Now, on to more important things \* ahem \*\*What I would wear to the Oscars \*\* I would wear a dress that my old (female) boss gave me that is a raspberry cool material sheath dress with (this is key) with a short coat over it that has a mink collar and mink around the ends of the sleeves. It is from the 40’s or 50’s and just cool. She wore it once or twice for going to the opera. Oh laa laa. Just to piss of PETA I would say, " It’s okay, these minks have been dead longer than I’ve been alive. " ---

I would wear something lusciously ruby red, with a full skirt, fitted bodice and low-cut, square neck, no decoration whatsoever, in a rich, shimmery, heavy silk, with my hair (dark brown) Veronica Lake style. If I were a guy, though, I’d wear - a pair of pink sidewinders and a bright orange pair of pants\* ---

I’d probably wear something period rennaisance. ---

Nipple clamps and hand-cuffs ---

Probably a pair of nice jeans, my high heeled boots, my tank top, and the mesh thing that goes over it. With, of course, my silver celtic cross and my hematite chokers. What? You said I was asked to present an Oscar. You didn’t say that I was suddenly granted a large amount of class. Plus that outfit makes my butt and my boobs look good :D. ---

A very, very nice, perfectly tailored 3-piece suit. With my hair slicked back and no makeup whatsoever. Probably because the last magazine article I picked up was fawning over all the women’s floor-length happy-colored dresses and how beautiful and feminine they looked while sporting them. Yack. ---

Me, I wouldn’t go to the Oscars … but my drag persona [Neil](http://home.earthlink.net/~renatadb/who_is_dragonblink.htm) (on the right) would wear a slim, stunning tux with a deep indigo vest and grey feathers in his hair. And he’d look _fa_bulous in it. 😃 ---
