Melanie and the Stockings!

Thanks Melanie for your entry - this is by far one of the more original ideas we have seen for Frocktober!


"As a non-dress wearer, doing Frocktober last year was challenge enough, and I raised about $1200 (probably out of people's curiosity to see me in a dress, as much as their desire to help fight ovarian cancer). But this year I wanted to up the ante so I challenged myself not just to wear a frock every day for the month but to recreate a stock photo every day as well.

I was inspired to do this by the website Stocking is the New Planking, a silly internet meme-in-the-making that asks you to, well, recreate stock photos. If you've ever trawled a stock photo site (something I often spend a lot of time doing as part of my job) you'll know there's some pretty mad 'when would anyone ever need this photo?' photos on them."



Voila, my entry, attached. There's also a blog post about it here (with all the other daily photos).

    You really can’t beat free. Just don’t go overboard on adding tons of random pictures to your posts now that you have access to them. Make sure they’re all relevant and add value.
