parody issue arts

Hey pals!The last assignment list for this year! These are joke stories for the upcoming Cosmo joke issue we're putting out on Wednesday. They're shorter and sillier than typical Gateway content, so feel free to just write part of an article or to just submit ideas for one if you don't feel like writing!1. This month’s essential products - weird products that people “need” to haveThink weird make-up, food, bathroom or household items. Got an idea for a weird sex toy? a new kitchen tool? A new brand of makeup or clothing that riffs on a contemporary joke like veet or rape culture or celebrity stuff (maybe there can be a special hair growth product so that you can fulfill your "dudeness" or maybe there's something to do with kimye, rob ford, alison redford, miley cyrus etc).  

2. Everyday household items you could use for makeup/gasoline/sex toysKind of similar, but looking for everyday items that you can use for crazy things. So think of the famous cosmo example of using "small smooth stones to rev up your sex life", or icecubes to freeze your bf's junk. These can be even more outrageous than typical cosmo fare, and dont' need to be sex-related. So edmonton snow-mould makes a great face mask, or edmonton wind power can double as a hairdryer. Can be backwards too, like the steps to a sultry study look (don't wash your hair, face, clothes; sleep on campus for that just-woke-up look), etc. . Seriously — anything you can think of! 

3. Men vs. Fashion Riffing on the idea that men don't get fashion because it's stupid. So some kind of commentary. could also switch it and have it be women versus fashion, and it could be dudes discussing how their lady-friends don't understand beard wax and aftershave and sweaty armpits.4. How Do I Wear This?: Onesie Pajamas Edition This'll be a short article about the wonder of onesies. Do you have a onesie? Wanna run around campus (get a beer, go on a date, eat dinner) for a photoshoot in your oneside with me. This article also needs a short intro and blurbs about why onesie's are great, all the places you can wear them, etc.From there, anything else you can think of related to fashion and beauty! Hair trends, style trends, underwear types, etc etc etc.So again, these stories can be super rough drafts with just a few lines. I'm honestly just interested in getting y'all involved for this issue. I'd need your drafts in by Monday evening! That's April 14 at about 5 p.m.). Short notice, but let me know asap if you're interested.xoxopaige
