Quislet, Esq. presents a fantastic idea (based on discussion in the election threads)....
TOP HAT COMPETITION!
So, which hat in Legion history do you think should be tossed into the ring?
Calamity King's nelly cap? Mordru's fez?
This challenge will be a bit different than typical pinup model competitions.
When a good handful of hats have been nominated (5? 6? 7?) they will be modelled by a still to be determined Legion Lovely. Votes will be cast to pick the favorite 2. Then, those 2 hats will battle it out for the TOP HAT title!
So...name your headwear!

Posted by Thriftshop Debutante on :
Just throwing out possibilities here:
Quantum Queen's tiara Ayla's Falcon cap Nura's fedora (worn at Graym's baptism) Silver Slasher's sharp chapeau Esper Lass's headband/tiara deal Chuck's ballcap Queen Projectra's mourning headdress Wild Huntsman's hat The Westerner's helmet SP helmets Silver Sword's helmet The Hag's dimestore Halloween hat

And The Master's beehive-like helmet (or was that his head?)
Invisible Kid's headband.
Sun Woman's sun-disc-behind-her-head. (I think her name was Sun Woman-- she was a villainess queen on a planet in the Adventure era.)

Wow! There's been a lot of head wear in Legion history!
We'll begin narrowing this selection down, soon...

I may have incorrectly characterized this. I was looking at the Legion Outpost book (page 137) and saw a Giff design of Jecks (and Val!) where she's wearing a headdress with this design. It's quite possible that this is worn by the monarch of Orando to preside over certain occasions, including high funerals. (When combined with a black draping, of course, it indicates mourning.) Take a look at her coronation pic in LSH 288...the item about to be placed on her head is bigger, but has a similar motif. (Presumably it was her father's, but I don't have the right issues to verify.)
Too late to nominate, but while digging around for Jecks pics I found that Yera-n-Gim hat scene I remembered but couldn't place: it's in the first Baxter issue.
I'm going to pass on voting in this round.

I say that Mano's helmet needs to be in the competition even if it doesn't get the votes.
Posted by Sketch Lad on :
The following 11 will be our semi-finalists:

After the Thanksgiving weekend, you will see these headpieces modelled on the runway and you will be asked to vote for your top 2!
Take care, everyone!
Posted by Sketch Lad on :
I actually did sketches for a top 12! I won't be able to scan them until after this weekend, so everyone have a great Thanksgiving! See ya later...
Posted by Sketch Lad on :
Okay, the semi-finalists have been posted. I was almost thinking of being a bit...mean(?)... and requiring you to pick your favorite from each post, but I hate when other competitions do that, so instead, I'm asking that you please choose the 2 finalists now.
Thank you!
Posted by Monkey Eater Lad on :
My TOP 2: I would wear Chlorophyll Kid's leafy hoodie EVERYDAY if I could. Also Polar Boy's (faux?!?) furry cap is awesomeness in a cap.
Posted by Thriftshop Debutante on :
TOP 2: LEAFY HOODIE So cute! and the PIRATE HAT. Love that swoop!
A few comments:
If Eve is wearing Tenz's hat, is Tenz wearing a-dam thing?
Imra looks mad, bad, and dangerous to know. That's my girl.
Taryn looks great! Is that a looped-up space-ponytail? Love it!
***By the by, how did we manage to overlook Sensor's hats?? Posted by Sketch Lad on :
The Leafy Hoodie takes the lead...
This is pretty dang fun!
Posted by Fat Cramer on :
Leafy Hoodie and Frake's Pirate Hat.
Posted by Sketch Lad on :
Chlor's leafy hoody 3 votes Frake's pirate hat 2 Polar Boy's fur hat 1 vote
Posted by Sketch Lad on :
Teeds, Yeah, weird how Sensor has been so neglected. Tenz and Eve were all about getting that heir, so ... I didn't think Imra would be very happy wearing something previously worn by such an enemy.
Taryn....so gorgeous!
Thank you!
Posted by Suddenly Seymour on :
Well, I have a soft spot for Mordru's fez, so that gets my vote.
Queen Projectra's mourning headdress is lovely, but it doesn't feel right to vote for such a solemn piece of clothing in a fashion contest. I give the jaunty pirate cap my second vote.
Posted by Sketch Lad on :
Leafy Hoody 3 Pirate Hat 3 Fur Hat 1 Fez 1
Posted by AlenaCal on :
I'm new to the boards, but I'm LOVING the pin-up model contests! My votes are for Mordu's fez (Think he ever attended Shriner meetings?) and Zaryan's square hat (just because I love the expression on Imra's face)
Posted by Thriftshop Debutante on :
Hello, AlenaCal, it's nice to have new people voting.
The more, the merrier -- that's the Legion way & all.
Seymour, I was thinking the same thing about Projectra's headwear. (While it wasn't in my top 2, it was high on my list.) Perhaps if it makes it to the next round, the veiling can be changed or removed and it can be "Projectra's formal headdress". As she presides over Orando's Ye Daye of Cupcakes or something.
Posted by Thriftshop Debutante on :

I'd come up with something about getting hat heir, but eh, I'm feelin' kinda lazy.
Posted by Sketch Lad on :
Welcome AlenaCal, and thank you for your nice comment about the Pinup Model competitions! They are a labor of love, fueled by the community.
Your votes for TOP HAT are noted.
Polls remain open....
Posted by Lurker Lass on :
Casting a vote for Mordu's fez, because it is a thing of beauty (making Mysa wear it is a nice touch), and Polar boy's fur hat.
Oooh, I've always wanted to vote in one of these. They're so fabulous.
Posted by Caliente on :
Polar Boy's Furry Hat!! So much love.
Also, I really dug Projectra's Mourning Headdress. Thumbs up to that one.
Close seconds included the imfamous Nelly Cap, Cap'n Frake's Hat and Shadow Lass's Tiara.
Posted by Language Arts Kid on :
the leafy hoody and the fur cap.
Let's hear it for the Subs!
Posted by Pizza Delivery Girl on :
Tenzil's top hat and Calamity King's nelly cap.
(Although Lyle is looking pretty good here... it is too bad he is disqualified, due to not being a hat.)
Posted by Doctor One on :
Polar Boy's furry hat and Chloro's hood thingy.
Posted by Mystery Lad on :
I'll pick Shadow Lass' Tuning Fork Headdress (ya *gotta* show it in 'action' somehow or the other, Dean) and Mano's Space Helmet (would it have been more popular if it had been early Cosmic Boy's?).
Posted by Quislet, Esq. on :
I'm going with Mordru's fez and Shadow Lass' tiara

Leafy Hoody and Nelly Cap!

Okay, I think enough time has passed to call it!
Leafy and Piratey move to the finals!!!!
Stay tuned for that show-down!
Posted by MLLASH on :
Dang, I missed it-- my votes were for Shady's tiara and Polar Boy's fuzzy cap. (that doesn't change anything though)
Dru looked adorable in Chlor's hood, but I always hated that costume of his.
Posted by Monkey Eater Lad on :
Is it just me or do other people imagine Chlorophyll Kid's leafy hoody (and in fact his whole costume) is made of soft green felt (of space)? Or else perhaps a decent velvet?
Posted by Sketch Lad on :
Well, I suppose I see Chlor's fabrics make of some kind of natural fibers, but if WE in RL were to make that hoody, it'd HAVE to be in felt!
I'm still getting to the finale of this challenge!
Posted by Sketch Lad on :
Actually, the pencilling is done. Still gotta color. Can't wait for reactions!
Edited to call for votes!
Please choose which is the TOP HAT!!!

No problem. Thanks for providing the amazing talent.
And I am not upset about missing the final vote as neither hat was one I'd choose.
Posted by MLLASH on :
Heh; just caught the Konk-modeled winner-- HILARIOUS!
Posted by Pizza Delivery Girl on :
Where is the hoody! Doesn't it deserve to be glorified for all time in the model-winners thread? I am sad on its behalf.
