Well, last I went to the gym, I weighed in and had lost the 10 lbs that I told myself I would lose before I auditioned. (I'm still a bit unhappy with the amount of junk in the trunk. I was thinking I needed to lose about 10 lbs to be acceptable and 20 to be ideal, but I think it might be more in the 35 range to be ideal. But I said 10 lbs before dancing, so 10 lbs it is!)
I know I need to get a proper thong. I'm wondering how much else I absolutely need to buy. From what I've seen, it seems that most marketed dancewear is overpriced, poor quality sythetics that look slightly better than cheap halloween costumes.
I'm a goth chick and I look like a goth chick, so I'm just going to go as out with that as I can, as I'll not really stop looking like a goth chick if I try (plus in my experience scads of normal-type dudes are way into the goth chick look). I plan on going with a little black dress type outfit (or little black skirt and top as would probably be better). Would there be a problem just wearing a black miniskirt or wrap skirt and black lace top that I already have? Is there something about dancewear that makes it necessary or far superior such that one shouldn't wear normal clothes in the same way one shouldn't wear normal thong panties to dance?
Also, I have some fairly new red scar tissue on my leg which I think is sexy but probably not so much to the average joe. I was going to wear fishnets and a garter belt, which I think is super-sexy and which will mask the scars. I just don't want to look like I'm trying to be too covered up after I get naked, because that wouldn't come off during the dancing.
I already have two pairs of stripper shoes, as I go clubbing in them, so I'm not worried about the most expensive portion of the outfit. One pair is black patent strappy sandal spike-heel platforms. I like them, and it seems most people on here prefer the spike heals. However, they're slightly less comfortable than they could be, as I have really really wide feet. My other pair are chunky-healed black platform boots. They fit me perfectly, and I wear them all the time. I'm more comfortable dancing in them, and they're more my style. So I'm probably going to go with the boots to audition. If everything works out, I'll custom-order some wide-sized spike healed types.
So, any outfitty advice would be appreciated.
I'm in the midst of an atrocious stomach flu at the moment, but am planning on doing my shopping and then auditioning when I'm over it, so a week or two. I feel pretty excited. I thought it would be longer when I decided to do this, as it usually takes me a long long time to gain or lose any amount of weight. (Two months for 10 lbs might be about normal, but it's really fast for me.)
