(Possibly) coming back!
(The following is a lengthy read. If you prefer not reading it, scroll down where I’ve posted a TL;DR/FAQs section. Hopefully that sums it all up nicely!)
I recently got some love in my inbox regarding this tumblr (Anonymous, you are too kind). I’m surprised it’s still humorous today… so I’m assuming it was someone from the class of ‘12. If so, I believe you guys need an outlet…
which is why I’m considering this tumblr to be revitalized for the class of ‘12, and maybe for all future students who find Lyons’ class to be incredibly mundane and need a break from her fetish for essays along with the bitch attitude that we did not ask for in a teacher.
So let me do the honors.
CALLING ALL ARTISTS AND NON-ARTISTS, AP STUDENTS AND REGULAR STUDENTS, SENIORS AND FRESHMEN!
I am calling out to you to help everyone that has to suffer/had to suffer under Lyons’ terrible fashion choices. You know what I’m talking about: those hooker heels, insane hairpieces, dresses she admittedly bought at KMart. If we can’t say enough shit (about her) to make ourselves feel like normal human beings after being in her class, then we might as well degrade her in the one area she’s proud of: her lack of taste.
Don’t believe me? Seriously, if you haven’t, go through the pages and look at her outfits. Go ahead, I’ll wait.
I admit I am not an artist (shocking) but those outfits are 100% accurate. You might like them, or bits and pieces of some of them, but this is a woman who is Lucifer himself. Whatever Lucifer has on, I’m not buying.
That is why I am interested in keeping this tumblr alive. It will help future generations of poor souls who had the misfortune of having her as a teacher get by, enjoying what they can, savoring what only can last so long.
So, I’m calling out to you. Anybody that has her currently, and any unfortunate soul that has her in the future, anybody that can use a pen, paper and have some effort to color, let us share the misery together and get through what we call “not again,” also known as Lyons’ “class.”
You may or may not know this, but I only started this project during second semester (after winter break) of my senior year. I intend to do the same each year, because I did not realize the hate I would begin to feel culminating deep within the unmentionables of my heart for this… “woman.” Do not feel pressured to take on this task this right away. I only ask that you consider being a contributing member and contact me with any interest.
TL;DR/FAQs
I am allowing current and future students to submit their submissions in to be uploaded during second semester(s).
From December 1, 2011 to December 23, 2011 (9pm), all entries will be accepted. I’m giving you a generous amount of time so that you have at least one free week of break to give you some time to think this over and submit an entry. I don’t think I need to tell you this, but please, one entry per person.
Who can contribute?: Anybody able to draw, color, and have fun with this.
**Requirements: -Email or message me (if you’re not going to email me, leave me some kind of way to contact you because I need to let you know if you are chosen or not. And if you have to make a fake or separate email to contribute to this tumblr, please do so. I would rather not know your personal identities) showing interest in contributing. Include in the attachments or link to an actual drawing (scan a hand drawn picture, upload an MSPaint creation, or use some other methods I can’t currently think of) of a rendition of your favorite outfit that she has worn, and provide some colorful commentary as well. You may look through this tumblr for inspiration. If you find yourself not enjoying the drawing and coloring process, you better quit now while you’re ahead. If you’re not going to have fun with this, then why bother at all?
-I also want some sort of identification proof. I do not need to know your name, but I would like a scanned attachment or upload of your class schedule, confirming that you unfortunately do have a class with Lyons and knowing which period you have her in. I also need to see if you are able to handle submitting contributions and keep up with your classes and extracurriculars (include a list of this too!) at the same time. The last thing I want is for you to jeopardize your grades for this tumblr (anyone who would do this is incredibly moronic).
-Lastly, include your favorite Lyons saying or phrase. I may need a new title for this tumblr.
Contact: lyonsicfashion@gmail.com, or message me through my ask box.
What happens after I have contacted you?: First, I will give you a confirmation email saying that I did in fact received your entry. Then, sometime after the deadline, and it may take a couple of days at the most and way before the end of break, I will email everyone who has been chosen to contribute to the tumblr. I’m being optimistic now in saying that many will be interested, but if it comes down to one or two people then I may schedule something entirely different for them.
I’ve been chosen! Now what?: If you are chosen, I will send you a schedule of the dates you will be responsible for according to your schedule. If many are involved in this project, then you won’t have many dates at all! I will try my hardest to maintain a fair and equal schedule so that you all can share the work.
I wasn’t chosen. Now what?: There’s a good chance I won’t turn down anyone who wants to enter, but if there’s a reason why I didn’t pick you, then I’ll email you personally.
How did you get the name lyonsicfashion?: Since this tumblr is about Lyons’ lack of a fashion sense, I thought the “sic” part would make it harder for her or anyone she personally knows to find this tumblr. And her fashion sense is sick..ening. Ba dum tish.
What does your title “… really?” mean?: Apart from this being her favorite phrase to use on everyone’s essays, she asks it all the time to question anything that shouldn’t be questioned at all. I also mean to ask “really?” to each of her atrocious outfits.
… but who are you?: I refuse to ever reveal my identity. There’s just a handful of people who know me personally, but it really should not matter. What matters is that we’re all having fun and that we’re in this together.
Are you so-and-so?: Don’t speculate about who this could be, ever. There were lots of rumors last school year about who was doing this, and the last thing you could want is for someone to be blamed for this if there ever was a time where the school could be involved (which I doubt could really happen). Then the tumblr would be dead. You don’t want that to happen now, do you?
Should I be worried that I may get caught following or liking something on your tumblr?: No. Unless someone decides to bring it up to Lyons, another teacher, or a faculty member, then yes, you kind of should be. Otherwise, don’t be intimidated. If anybody gets caught at all, I would be the first one to take responsibility for the tumblr, and I don’t think much could happen to me anyways. So feel free to follow, like, or just stalk the tumblr.
If you have any other questions, feel free to ask them through here (I’ve enabled for anonymous questions to be answered) or email me if you want a personal question answered. I’ll edit this post with updated questions and answers.
Also, please spread the word! I don’t care how, but the more people we have involved in this project, the better the variation of drawings.
Thanks for reading. Thanks for following. And most of all, thanks for all the support.
