Faerie Forum, Downtown
I should get into a theatrical group, I think, so that I can have the human resources, so to speak, to carry out this idea. I'd love to be in a performance art group, to do many such things.

I'd like to stage a public forum, like in ancient Greece & Rome, maybe scripted, but likely improvisational... of people who look perfectly normal, who seem to be channeling a debate betweeen the Seelie & Unseelie courts. Men in suits shouting at each other about who shall have the right to choose the color to paint the flowers in the king's meadow. Women on their soapbox about the dreadful lack of lewdness in the songs of the swallows these days. Discussions on the rights of the Seelie to venture out at Night, the empire of the Unseelie... bringing up their use of fog-shrouded checkpoints and tattoo passports.

Not only would it be fun and ethereal and discordant... but maybe it would make observers think on why our society doesn't do forums anymore for important matters. If we can debate "nonsense", why not get together with our communities and discuss issues of political & social concern? Don't leave it up to the pundits & politicians to duke it out, w/out consulting the common people.

And I figured mundane dress over costumes, because costumes might make people dismiss it as just a play. The discordant note of normal clothes and normal people talking (w/out accents or overly flowery language), but using words/topics that don't fit... might jar them into thinking.

(First post here, BTW. I've been aware of glamor-bombing since the late 90's when I frequented the Lavendise message board.)

A real glamourbomb! Huzzah! This is fabulous!

... I have a guerrilla theatre troupe (Open Duir Policy -- website pending) in Texas... We could pull this off easily...

Feel free to take it and run with it. =) I don't have the means to do it myself. If you should happen to record it, I'm sure everyone here would appreciate getting to see/hear it. ;)

yay! you win my personal "wow, there might be hope yet" award for being the post that keeps me from dropping this community in a huff this time, as i am oft tempted to do. heh. unfortunately, it is a relatively meanlingless award outside my head, but in here i'm having a party in your honor. ;)

and if anyone tries to post up some take on this wherein they run around all glitterpated and craft glue fluff and sparklies over this brilliant suggestion...

i shall eat them.

Wow! This is one of the most creative suggestions I've heard yet! You could even have a court secretary, recording the minutes of the Forum meeting on a notebook computer for passersby to glimpse.
("Mab volunteered and was elected clerk of the Forum. King Oberon, President of the Forum, opened the meeting with a prayer to the Gods Both Great and Small, and asked that Their divine wisdom would fall upon the congregation.
Puck brought forth and read the minutes of the last Forum, which took place on the Summer Solstice, 1905. No dispute was found with them, and Queen Titania began with Olde Business....")
"Regular" people with Fae names, disputing sketchy magical legal matters in a public place?
YES!
(And I wholeheartedly agree with previous comments regarding "glittering up" the ordeal. 'Fluffy' faeries make me ill.)

Great ideas! Glad you like mine. =) I hope someone will be able to do something like this. I'll be keeping it in mind for the future, if & when I can find a group I could do it with.
