Artistic Fashion Personas Unleashed!

Artists are often looking for ways to create, normally within the bounds of public acceptance such as in an art show or a exhibition. 

On exceedingly rare occasions, select artists are able to take out the stops and employ their physical form as a direct conduit for creative energy from the ethereal to the world we live in. 

I found two examples in the Chalk Off Challengers:


              

"Power Blogging Thermal Armor™"         "Goddess Robe Fantasy Dress"

              RR Anderson                                      Andrea/Lupin

With the facades of accepted society momentarily cast aside, RR and Andrea use a rare opportunity to define themselves and the world around them on a wholescale basis.

Although their outward appearance admittedly differs somewhat, each is employing the identical methodology to distill and strengthen their long established personas in a no holds barred approach.  With a somewhat limited view, the corporate marketing world characterizes this as "brand management."

To date, RR and Andrea have both prevailed in two Chalk Off Challenges and faced off and battled each other in seven episodes.

The many strengths and advantages in their employment of style and personas have effectively canceled themselves out.  Thus, in a strange calculus, "Power Blogging Thermal Armor™" essentially equals "Goddess Robe Fantasy Dress" in the self leveling environment of Frost Park.
