Accessories
Accessorize, Accessorize, Accessorize!
Clothing may help keep you together (depending on technique), and make you
look fantastic (also depending on technique), but it's the accessories that
really make the outfit work (in most cases).
For instance, say your technique involves some form of electrocution -
finger in the socket, hair dryer in the tub, lightning. Whatever, as long as
it's AC and rich in amps, by all means cover yourself in fashionable (and
functional) gold, silver, or even platinum. Wear all your rings and
necklaces (even if they clash). Copper chains and bracelets are even better,
and can easily be coordinated with any sort of metallic clothing.
If your method involves gas (natural or propane), dog tags are outstanding
(and are the only sensible choice for identification). Going by train? For
women, a small overnighter with your wallet and a few non-perishables (for
snacking while waiting) says travel all over it and works fine (i.e. will
most likely be found somewhere near the rest of you) especially if securely
wired to your arm or leg. For men going by train, a pocket watch is not only
appropriate but will make sure you're on time! If you'll be stepping out in
traffic, avoid all flashy jewelry that will get caught in the headlights
(and try to keep your eyes closed). If you'll be slashing your wrists, no
bracelets and try to keep one arm free at all times.
Novelty accessories can liven up the scene... like crime scene tape
(available at most police supply stores), chalk (to outline your body), red
paint (to add drama to crime scene photos and confound the rescue squad),
even flares (but be careful since flares can result in severe burns if not
handled properly).
Let's learn a bit about what not to wear
in Fashion Faux Pas.
