100 Ideas That I Had - Intelligence is Beauty

I got my hair cut today. While I was sitting in the chair, the stylist asked me if I wanted a magazine to look at. I declined; I hate "women's magazines", and while there can be nice pictures in fashion mags, my phone will keep me better entertained. So I played Scramble With Friends and read the New York Times website.

So then I started thinking about smart and pretty (and pretty smart) women, and for some reason, this translated into an idea for a photo shoot.

Idea #3: So, the pics would be of a line of women at the beauty parlor, all sitting in the chairs. Picture curlers, clips, big black vinyl capes, dryers; sassy stylists with outlandish hair. Bright colors everywhere. Each of the women in the chairs is reading a fashion magazine, except for one woman, who is reading (a newspaper, A Brief History of Time, Plato's Republic, Euclid, Joyce's Ulysses, etc.)

Prompting: A Poll

Still time to prompt before we unleash the undead:

Prompting is going swimmingly over at zombi_fic_ation! So many awesome prompts I want to see filled. (I'll do a rundown of ones I'm gunning for later in the week.) If you haven't contributed yet, you have another week to get your prompt in.

And now, inspired by a discussion at fail_fandomanon, and one I've seen crop up many times in many places: Prompts and Prompting Etiquette.

( ZE POLL! )

As per usual, discuss in the comments!
