"Dad's on a hunting trip and he hasn't been home in a few days." That line is the beginning of the very wild ride that is Supernatural. Once that line is spoken it all begins. Thinking back on it after all the seasons so far almost gives me the chills. The show really impressed me from the very beginning, that line hooking me, and I haven't been able to get away from it yet.
When I really love something like a show, a movie, a song, a book, I always want to incorporate it somehow into my daily life, to enjoy it on a different level. My thirtieth birthday party was Harry Potter themed, for example. For Supernatural I wondered what it would be like if the main characters were female, rather than male, and an idea formed.
I thought it might be fun to get my pal Alice Demonia together to do a photo as a female Castiel with me, while I did a female Dean Winchester. Then I thought it would be fun to do a Sam. Then, hey, how about more? Gwin LeShelle, Helena Stringer, and
Arora Zanzibar joined in on the fun. Arora, who made a look for Bobby, was unable to do the shoot with us but I am hoping she will join me for a separate post since her look is so good!!
The photo below was taken by Gwin. I messed with it in Gimp a little but you can see the original on her blog, which will be linked below. The original is probably a lot better but I am always messing with things in Gimp, I can't help it. LOL.
The photo below was taken by Helena Stringer, who has recently joined me as co-owner of the Free*Style blog. It's a different angle so you can see more of the looks. It ended up downloading really small for me so argh but even at the size I can tell I am super jealous of her computer's graphics. D:
I had a ton of fun doing this shoot and I hope we can do more photos together in the future, and maybe even get some more folks in on the action. I'm so excited!!!
With my look I thought a while about what a female Dean might wear. I decided to keep the basic fashion style the same, utilitarian but classic, rough, cool. I decided that a female version would still be slightly vain and would want cute hair, even if it had to be pulled back some in case of fighting and such. I wasn't able to find a good replica of his necklace but I found something close enough and tinted it slightly more gold. I finished it off with a sawed off shotgun, probably filled with silver bullets or rock salt or something, and a clean and fresh, but slightly flushed, skin from Birdy. Slurls and all details below!
