Fantastic! I'll have to check some stuff out.

UM. OF COURSE I KNOW WHAT TAKARAZUKA IS. People who don't know should just... learn. I just finished an 11-page paper over otokoyaku, and I'm furiously trying to get my hands on stuff from the current Elisabeth run because Mizu is FREAKING GORGEOUS.

I'm probably going to do it (suit thing) in conjunction with cosplay at some point in the relatively near future. I sorely want to do a couple of outfits from some PoT stuff and Takarazuka. Guuuuuh. And I need to dig out my boots, once I'm done with school. You just really can't dress up in college around here. Too much walking. I think my best experience was with doing a very masculine outfit for our local ren faire. Raaaave reviews, and I felt so empowered!

I do like it when manly men get in dresses and pull the look off. That's special, hilarious, and awesome on all levels.

I really had only recently found out what it is, I'm ashamed to admit, and I've been scrambling to try to find out where I can watch some of the classic acts. I stumbled across it completely by accident, had heard it referenced in some cultural jokes in certain yuri manga and anime, and finally am getting into it but have not met many people that know what it is :[ hmph.

Ah, seriously. :) It's also such an overlooked type of beauty, I mean, the last time suits were considered attractive on women in the west (mainstream-wise) was like...in the 80s...when they'd pack big shoulder pads and hair and pearls on with it hahah. There's also nothing to make your legs look more longer and slim than a suit ♥ Plus it confuses guys AND girls when they think you look good 8D

Yes, when I say manly. I don't really mean hairy bubbas straight out of prison. More like athletic types with more prominent and strong facial structures, but still know how to keep themselves clean for the most part ;)

Unless you have bazillions of dollars, YouTube is your friend when it comes to Takarazuka. Speaking of which, I'm going to have to go watch my favorite video now. XD

It really is. There's nothing quite like a nice, tailored suit.

Oh god, hairy man in a dress, DO NOT WANT.
