All is well that ends in pizza.

Basically I envision soccer moms in casual slacks and a pullover shirt/blouse. Something a woman would wear when she has to take care of kids, and still do the errands typical of the stereotype. Basically practical living wear.

ETA: But not slobby, of course. Just not fancy and not so much with the sweats and t-shirt one might wear if not being "seen" out and about.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Basically practical living wear.

And a really big shoulder bag. And Keds.

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here

What I need is some sort of picture, that has soccer mom written on it, in this sort of practical living wear. The NAME of the character is "SOCCER MOM", and the direction I have recieved is peach "prom" shoes, old lady jewelry and a skirt.

What is even happening?

No, never. Really. I am one, even drive a mini-van, although I probably dress more casually than most of them--I am surrounded by them. A soccer mom is wearing sporty casual that's more toward preppy than sexy. Maybe a sweater knotted around the neck, and the big bag, like ita suggests could be signifiers.

What kinds of scenes is she in, and what's the setting for them?

Sophia, look here, and also go to corbis.com and search on soccer mom.

I can't guarantee the pics will have soccer mom on them, but having a photo listed in a major stock catalogue under the term soccer mom must carry weight, no?

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

People who think Emily Gilmore = soccer mom must be really confused a lot of the time.

Jesse! I saw the same ad!

You were not dreaming or hallucinating.

Phew, sumi! Thanks. Not that gay people shouldn't visit Philly (YAY PHILLY!) or that there weren't gay people in Days Of Yore.

Our wings are not tired.

The last billion soccer games I attended the moms were in jeans and polo shirts.

Gay Philly, you're so fine,
You're so fine you blow my mind ...

Gay Philly!

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

Hee. How are you feeling this morning, ita?

So come, my friends, be not afraid/We are so lightly here/It is in love that we are made; In love we disappear

'Cause, yeah, the first thing I think of when the phrase Founding Fathers goes through my head is "Yeah, they are so doing it."

Y'know, it makes me wonder if there's a Historical Political RPF community on LJ. (For all your modern political needs, there's current_affairs, in the event anyone was wondering.)

If not, there should be.
