Imagine that a play has been written about you, and you are designing a costume for the actor playing you. What sort of outfit would this actor wear and why? What clues would the costume give about your personality? Be sure to mention the fabric, color, and length of the garments. This prompt can also relate to the monodrama you've created. If you are reenacting an event from your past, what would you have worn at that time, and why?
The outfit would be modern. I want the costume to be athletic to accommodate the movments of the character playing me, since I'm very active. However, I don't want the costume to make the character's gender ambiguous, since I am neither transsexual nor androgynous. The colors incorporated in the costume would be warm colors to convey a general optimism and happiness, but not particularly flashy colors, to convey that I'm not the center of attention. The costume would have a coral top, to convey a youthful feeling with the sort-of pink and a confidence and loudness with the sort-of orange. Also, in staying with the period, my character would wear stretch blue jeans to accommodate the actress' movements and to fit in with the other teenager characters. The shirt would be short-sleeved and t-shirt material to convey un-self conciousness and not caring particularely about my outer appearance. Yet, the t-shirt would be tight-fitting to be subtly feminine.
