So the Gryffindor Brat was at the bus stop again today and it's too warm to wear my scarf, so what can I do to show my Slytherin colours, perferably whilst not looking like the sort of person who writes stories in her spare time about Ginny Weasley being ravished by plants?
The Boy wants to go to PoA dressed as Hagrid. He suggested I get some sort of big black cloak and go as a Dementor, because then I'll also be set up for a Ringwraith or Sith Lord costume. I suggested that perhaps I wouldn't.
Are you dressing up for PoA? Do you have any freaky fan items that you wear about your person?
amanuensis1 posted about making a fannish Brag Bracelet but I know if I tried to do that, it would get filled up with FMA pics. *g*
I have lots of HP LEGO, but I don't carry that around with me. Hmm.

I am as usual amused by your choice of objets de lust.

Note: On Halloween I wore my Ravenclaw costume and was madly flirted with by both my waitress and a random boy in the DVD section of Best Buy. Hmmmmm. *g*
I have a fair amount of fannish stuff that is only fannish if you *know* about it, like my Chicago keychain and my Musical Ride lapel pin (received from the hand of an ACTUAL MOUNTIE.)
Most of my fan swag is in the form of paperweights/magnets/toys and other cubicle/desk decorations rather than something to wear. I have thought of making fannish charm bracelets, though- think of the possibilities! (Sentinel: jaguar, wolf, basketball, glasses, gun, police badge, book. Due South: maple leaf, Chicago commemorative, car, wolf, snowshoe, handcuffs, glasses, turtle, stetson. That sort of thing.)

Cool! That's what I like about the scarf -- it's just a really nice green and silver scarf if you're not in the know.
Maybe we should make virtual charm bracelets. :)

While I have dressed for events in the past - my 50+ attendences at the Rocky Horror Picture Show, for example - and while I enjoy other people's creativity, I don't imagine I'm going to be dressing as Professor Sprout any time soon (the character I most closely resemble).
Actually, I'm looking for a black Harry Potter t-shirt but am holding out for one with an image of Remus Lupin. So far, my search is in vain.

Good luck with your shirt search!

My only nod to fannish dressing up these days is the t-shirt I bought at ConneXions with a big slash sign within quotation marks. Totally subtle in the sense that only other slashers seem to notice it. :)

Your t-shirt sounds way cool!
I bet if you got the right costume, it would be easy to go from fandom to fandom. The Boy figures he can modify his Jedi outfit (which he will wear at the slightest provocation) for Hagrid. And I'm sure it would be not too hard to make it into Gandalf too.

Hee! They're so boring though. The LEGO lightsabres are much cooler.

Hey, this is LJ!
"But I don't want to go among mad people," Alice remarked.
"Oh, you can't help that," said the Cat. "We're all mad here. I'm mad. You're mad."
"How do you know I'm mad?" said Alice.
"You must be," said the Cat, "or you wouldn't have come here."

You could take an extra LEGO Draco or Snape or whoever and attach a pin, so you could wear it. Or attach them to a bag - they might look cute riding on the strap.
I've been thinking of knitting socks in house colors, those could be worn more often than a scarf. Not highly visible, though.

The fact that I am blatantly Gryffindor - or at worst Slythindor - is irrelevant, as I actually get to wear the green and siver striped tie from my [brother's] old school uniform. They've changed the ties to just plain green with the school emblem, now, but once upon a time we were all Slytherins who travelled to school on the [yes, really] 666 bus.
I kid you not.

We had a McGonagall, a Sinistra, and I went as Narcissa.

I also have several Yu-Gi-Oh! tee-shirts (one is a child's extra large, before they started making them in adult sizes), one of which I will certainly wear to the premiere of the Yu-Gi-Oh! movie in August.
And, of course, there's the hot pink Yu-Gi-Oh! stocking cap I sometimes wear to cover my bald head. People smile at me when I wear it.

Umm...as soon as I get to Hot Topic, I'll pick up their Slytherin patch and sew it on my backpack.
If I were going opening night, I would probably wear my Gryffindor robe from Halloween. Maybe my whole Hermione costume, even. Just because.

A Hermione costume sounds cool!
