But they're superhuman fast anyway. (and Dracula can polymorph to a cloud of mist)

The noferatettes are supposed to wear sexy flowing dresses so they can show off their ample bosoms and all that jazz...

i agree w/ soft..maybe all that fluid sexiness is passe..what about androgyny?
what if they all were scarily similar clones w/ severe bobs and heavy eye makeup? what if their typical seduction styles became a big yawn and in a genius stab for novelty, decided part of their shtick was dancing the chorus line...of course it would be all morbidly funny. and what if their clothing was all ultra stain repellent..not a drop of blood on their freshly starched clothing? maybe that's why they are all dancing...because now they have an endless variety of costume choices.
what if dracula was actually a pair of dutch boys resembling victor and rolf? kinda freaky aint it?

 

[Estella*]

ooh..those are cool anna...B)...

well he was belgian, you know

i love the idea of viktor&rolf as dracula

 

[softgrey]

freaking hilarious is more like it...
...

they'd easily be able to capture their prey who would fall down laughing at the sight of them...


genius...

 

[travolta]

thanks i saw the light for a moment..now my head's all clouded up again

 

[softgrey]

I don't have time to really respond to this right now, but I think this would make a really good editorial story, nice idea!

it's a classic story...been done over and over...
never gets old...

the W story by steven meisel with all the androgyny was a vampire story...
based on 'the lost boys'...

 

[travolta]

^ ah the lost boys! love the costumes...the two corys! i like the idea of vampires wearing white. if it was a movie i'd have them always wear all white..and it would be similar to the movie the cook, the thief, his wife, and her lover..where every time they would enter a room the colors of their costumes woudl change, which work if it looked as if the color was 'projected' on to their outfit..or it would suggest that w/ actual wardrobe changes. i also like the idea of the blood being different color as well..changing depending on the room..it could get confusing, you'd have to pick and choose...

i also like the idea of the vampires wearing giant bibs, maybe w/ thick lace on the edges and embroidery (all the blood would probably get clotted on it--but i suppose vampires are really vain..so they would be more concerned w/ the overall look) so all the blood wouldn't splatter on their clothing and in 'preparing' their food..aprons. the aprons could have cheesy lines like: "my second best talent is sucking blood" or something probably funnier
