Battle of the Sexes; Ladies Topic Suggestions

[alesoun]

Ladies, please put one choice per person in this thread for your preferred topic for the gentlemen to tackle. Ilaekae will also post a thread where the gentlemen may suggest a topic.

I trust, nay, I know, that each side will choose a topic that will take the opposition out of their comfort zone and encourage them to stretch their imagination and skill.

The contributions by both sides at every stage in the first contest were designed to encourage people to push their limits, imaginatively and artistically.

Let's see how much further we can push the limits this time. :)

[JessiBean]

The ladies have been talking about this in another thread, Alesoun.
You want me to copy paste the suggestions here, or leave them there for now?

[alesoun]

I think there's been several suggestions per person, Jessi. Let's keep each poll to one choice per person. I've seen some of them, and I'd try them happily. When people make their suggestions, we'll take them all to poll, same as last time. We need to give the guys time to get their thread up, too....

[alesoun]

Ladies, let's kick off by wishing the very best of luck to the gentlemen.

[Katfayheirti]

First Kiss sounds awesome! I'd love to see the guys try to depict that.

[MiniGoth]

Romance.

[Asatira]

Those Who Hunt Monsters

[JessiBean]

I would second all the ones iolarnula posted. SO AWESHUM!

[smugbug]

Sorry, but I keep going back to duplicity and vanity fair. Love those two topics.

Pushing up daisies is another nice one - but that's probably because I love the TV series.

[magicgoo]

Motherhood mebbe. May seem somewhat challenging for boys.

[Darkmoon]

i think FIRST KISS might be interesting, but i just see a lot of lesbian pin-ups from that one, so im gonna settle on VANITY FAIR i guess. Still think romantic vampire Yaoi woulda been awsome....

[Ilaekae]

I'm not sure what Vanity Fair is, clod that I am... All I can remember is a magazine with that name.

[Straight Edge Ryan]

I've got some topics:

Men > Women
Penises > Vaginas
Peeing standing up > Squatting

[Jazz]

Here, kitty: http://www.google.ca/search?hl=en&q=define%3A+vanity+fair&meta=&aq=f&oq=

:D :D

I like vanity fair, too! I guess we could get a little more specific...though vanity fair with panties might still make 'em happy. o_O

[Carnifex]

i think first kiss without resorting to lesbians will be quite challenging to some of our gents.
nice topics.

First kiss without resorting to lesbians would be challenging to *me*.

Challenging, and sad. :(

[Ardescoere]

I love the first kiss idea... you may be right about the lesbians. And I'd bet you'd see some interesting results for "self discovery too" so because of that I think I'll choose vanity fair too.

[Carnifex]

ok,without resorting to lesbian porn.

[daestwen]

Actually I think depicting a real lesbian couple without resorting to supermodels or the opposite would be really difficult for the guys. :P

[Black Spot]

We could make them fat.

[nonie]

I also love Vanity Fair and Duplicity. I want to paint those! Both sides should be trying to come up with a topic they'd wish even to be assigned to themselves.

Yeah, that.

[Peter Coene]

First kiss without resorting to lesbians would be challenging to *me*.

Challenging, and sad. :(

Actually, it would be rather easy. Lesbians make me feel left out, while heterosexuality with all its awkwardness, lame moments, and lack of sexyness is something that I relate to intrinsically.

[daestwen]

For the record, I was joking in both posts, but there you go. :P

I'm not such a fan of Vanity Fair... simply because i'd want to give the guys something I would be excited to do and that phrase draws up a complete blank to me. Only thing in my head is victorian dresses...

may i suggest Awe?

I like your picks :D I really like Crossroads and Need too. Center and Compassion are more of my favorites, guess I just like broad topics.
