The fellowship fashions of today

afro-elf · 03-11-2002, 04:32 AM

I got an idea from a post my Pippin Skywalker.

How would the fellowship be dressed in today's fashion

Merry and Pippin I see as grunge skate-boarder types

Sam in overalls

Gimli like a biker ( as in harely davidson)

Frodo like a college professor

Aragorn as strider in the last hiking appearal

Boromir being wealthy and all tailor made euro-fashion

Gandalf sherlock holmes but dressed in gray

legolas ?

this is difficult, because if I try to picture the characters, I end up picturing the actors, and that's not good, because we've all seen interview with them when they're wearing normal-type cloths. Anyway, here goes.
I agree that:
Gimli could blend well with a hell's angels-type crowd.
Aragorn would shop at REI.
Boromir in Italian designer clothing. Leather jacket.
As for the rest:
Sam as version of James Herriott (ie boots, pipe, tweed cap). (hey, relatively speaking, it's modern)
Gandalf: well, if looking strictly at beard and hair (not any other aspect of the character), he reminds me of the Vietnam War vet. that begs on the corner in front of the mall by day, and then spends his day's collectings at the bar across the street.
Legolas: for some odd reason, the Matrix is the only thing that comes to mind.

Merry and Pip: warm-ups come to mind. I don't know why. Too bad their size puts them at a disadvantage for every sport, except maybe table tennis, or curling.
Frodo:Environmental activist.

REI ?

Eruviel Greenleaf · 03-11-2002, 01:31 PM

REI-recreational equipment incorporated. or something like that. . .basically lots of outdoor gear. that was your question, right? Yeah, I can really see Aragorn shopping there! Or rather, wearing stuff from there. I'd imagine Legolas in REI gear as well, but a different style than Aragorn. Maybe he'd shop at Patagonia. . .no, that would be Aragorn too. I can also see Legolas as Matrix-y, but maybe green instead of black-ouch. too bright.
Merry and Pippin curling! That's perfect! I can see them doing that. . .(not that I 've ever seen a game of curling. Missed my chance because of snow on Friday. But a bunch of my friends curl). Hmm...what sports would they all play? I'll have to think on that. . .Aragorn would definetely do mountain stuff, like rock climbing and whatnot.

Elvet · 03-11-2002, 02:08 PM

Merry and Pippin - sweat-shirts, baggy pants, and runners
Frodo - t-shirt , cargo pants, and dockers
Gimili - definately biker leathers and boots
Aragorn - camo pants, t-shirt and camo vest, hiking boots
Boromir - thermal sweater , jeans, and boots
Legolas - golf shirt , chinos and loafers.
Sam - check shirt, overalls and duckies
Gandalf - indian cotton shirt, drawstring pants and sandals

afro-elf · 03-11-2002, 03:08 PM

Humm for the sports i agree with aragorn into the outdoors sports

Lego the same but also archery,gymnastics, tight- rope walking and tennis. maybe ice hockey BUT the Swedish/ Finnish style of play.

the hobbits i think baseball due to sam's apple throwing arm

gimli rugby

boromir just an all around jock

gandalf chess

Eruviel Greenleaf · 03-12-2002, 01:16 PM

I think the hobbits would play baseball in the spring/summer, and curling in the winter. Yeah, I am kinda stuck on Merry and Pippin curling. . .

I think Boromir would indeed be an all-around jock, but he would definitely have to play (American) football. I can really see that. . . (I've always said football is Medieval warfare, minus the weapons and horses. . .and high death rate)

I agree, Afro-elf, with your Legolas sports, but he would also make a sport of climbing trees! (I do that!)

Legolas · 03-13-2002, 02:00 PM

Legolas would be dressed:

no cap/hat;
a green-grey jacket or shirt;
green - grey trousers;
long boots (also green-grey).

That's all, what more does he need?

emplynx · 03-13-2002, 05:34 PM

What would the balrog wear?

Elf Girl · 03-13-2002, 05:55 PM

The balrog? Uuuuuuuh...nothing really springs to mind.

Wayfarer · 03-13-2002, 06:40 PM

I see the balrog in flaming boxers. A female version would be wearing a bikini bottom and a halter top.

Don't ask.

The_Real_Legolas · 03-13-2002, 08:19 PM

Legolas: long hair with all the girls and figure skater

that is all that comes to mind hear!!

***Tessar*** · 03-13-2002, 11:05 PM

actuly I see legolas as a crew cut Karate type.

Eruviel Greenleaf · 03-15-2002, 01:54 AM

What about the other characters? I see Elrond in a fancy business suit. . .

Elvet · 03-15-2002, 01:34 PM

Sauron - completely gothic, piercings and all
Saruman - nehru jacket
Theoden - western attire as in John Wayne ( not Roy Rodgers)
Galadriel - wouldn't change a thing

**crickhollow** · 03-15-2002, 02:33 PM

Galadriel could be carrying a sign that says "Give peace a chance."
