Once upon a time (ok, so just over a month ago) there was a man... who went by the moniker d.rex. Basically, he was obsessed with getting into Explore. He figured his girly legs and Stripey Silliness was the way to go (and boy, was he right!)
Seeing the possibilities before him, he decided to share the love/power of the "barfy heart" emblazoned socks he'd acquired for the star shot! A beautiful lady, known by most as ambrosialove, was bequeathed the fabulous footwear... and thus began the elusive Sisterhood! *shouts and chants of "Long Live The Sisterhood" are heard from the gathering crowds*
Simple laws were established, as any good reign realizes is necessary. First, and foremost, thou must use the goods in an endeavor of auto-portraiture post-haste. Finally, as current custodian, you may determine who is worthy of the honor after you!
Up for the challenge, the aforementioned lovely was tutu much for us all! Some 62uolegnaiam felt a formal twist was deserved. ~*Cherron*~ had us seeing Socks, socks, socks and more socks, while a knock knee'd...Skymama showed how scary the Explore phenomenon/pressure can be to all the sisters! Next thing you know, Miss Dyxie pulled a fast one on everyone, and didn't wear them on her legs! Once the socks were sent north... any & everything short of sanity was expected. A [usually] manly-man, calling himself alaskanmariner, set aflame the motto, "Never Stop Exploring". He put this into immediate practice by hopping into his modern dogsled, and hand delivering the socks to an newly adopted sister northpolemama... who showed that even the north pole dwellers can be found soaking in the sun. Much unlike mivox, who gets her kicks & giggles with more Xtreme behavior! (Girls these days!)
Once the dust, er ice, settled, it was time for an entertainment break. Never one to disappoint, Kungfukitten put on a show Sock Puppet Style and Fred & Enid were natural-born stars! For those worried at this point in our adventures that the socks have gone the dogs... fear not. Qathi was not eating the catfood (I couldn't smell it on her breath at least... so I'm convinced!)
After all that, somehow I was given the privilege to follow suit, er sock... and I aim to please.
I present to you, the SOTTS: underwater!
Imagine, if you may, a girl... at a pool... with knee high stripey-socks, and an underwater camera apparatus... I soon had a crowd around me, and the pool was basically empty (as I'd timed it accordingly, so as not to give many any heebie jeebies!)
more to come later... for now, I must post (or folks will surely keel over and die!) and get some sleep... swimming & SOTTS can wear a girl out!
[ftr: I'm experiencing my first ever issue of "this is not what I see on my computer" with flickr... I know all the good of using standardRGB, alas I'm simply using iPhoto, so I don't know where the translation is being lost... *growl*
Seriously, it looks pertier than this, promise!
-update-
Ok, I've read around for way too long, and it's an issue of firefox's interpretation, or lack thereof, of the color profile. I've tried to "convert" the shot to sRGBm but I'm only running Elements on this computer... so I'll send the whole flie to anyone who can convert it and preserve the EXIF... otherwise I'll try JDM's comp & Aperture sometime later!]
