Well, thanks to all 5 of you who participated (hey, nobody said this would be easy), I now have the results of the first ever
Comments: plaidder@mindspring.com
Scully.
Mulder, of course, squeaks into second, but evidently Scully's conservative-yet-fetching work wardrobe is the favorite here.
Scully.
Our favorite redheaded FBI agent is the surprise winner here, narrowly edging out Mulder and Walter "Skivvies" Skinner by one vote. Glad something good came out of the sorry mess that was "Never Again."
Last season's.
There were two votes for the first season, but there was an across-the-board agreement that something is amiss with this year's.
First season "Am I Scully Or Am I Clarice Starling" look. The only other nominee was the Autopsy Coif, which placed a respectable second. Hey, they're dead, unless you're Donny Pfaster there's no point in dressing up...
Jeans.
The Ratboy-on-the-Run look was the clear favorite here, beating out the Tunguska duds and one vote for "leather." (Where on his person Alex would be wearing this leather was unspecified.)
Byers
The award grudgingly but nearly unanimously goes to "suit-boy," although all respondents registered their dissatisfaction with being forced to choose the lesser of three evils. There was one sympathy vote for the blond guy, evidently the Ross Perot of this little replay of the '92 election.
Scully
This was very nearly a 3-way tie between her, Mulder and Skinner, but she beat 'em by one vote. Personally, I take my hat off to anyone who knows what Skinner's taste in civilian clothing is--I can't remember seeing him in any, except for the briefs.
Skinner
If only Lwaxana would sign up with the Bureau...but in the absence of any flagrant fashion criminals, the award goes to Skinner on a sins-of-omission basis, with voters assuming that he doesn't wear civilian clothing because he has learned from painful experience that the Kramer look doesn't work for him.
Mulder.
I had it in mind that people would nominate clothing...but I guess I left myself open for this. Actually, I'm surprised nobody nominated Krychek for this category, as long as we're widening the field of eligibility to include people. As far as actual clothing goes, the Denise look wins the prize, with Mulder's jeans and his Speedos sharing the leavings.
It's a tie! Between Mulders Tunguska duds, and...well...his ties. It's sad, considering that the tie is about the only vehicle for personal expression that the corporate dress code allows the white-collar male. But alas, when a piece of neckwear is receiving the same consideration as something you've slept in for a week in a Siberian prison, well, that's a sign you should consider letting the gentleman at the counter choose for you.
Mulder.
Well, her work suits take second place, with the "light green pantsuit" she had last season coming in third. Jogging bra/shorts combo wins the Fantasy Category.
Sweats.
The sweats in which Scully disguised herself as a short, grungy nonentity in order to elude Ugly Spike-Wielding Clone Guy win, but the "vampy crap she wore to seduce creepy tattoo guy" slides into second. One vote for the tattoo itself.
The late lamented Melissa Scully.
The Unablonder and Byers share second place. That, come to think of it, is about all they share. Although with her Bond Blonde delivery and his natty yet short affect, they'd make an interesting couple. And imagine the pillow talk.
Frohicke.
Frohicke will be accepting on behalf of the Lone Gunmen, whose "Living In The Basement and In The 70s" look swept the board. One vote for Cancer Man for not realising that the cigarette has gone from being the sine qua non of elegance and sophistication to being the Mark of the Beast, and one vote for the mother of "Home's" happy mutant family.
Eddie van Blundht (with an H)
Personally, I think that velour vest outfit Eddie was toting when he first impersonated Mulder was pretty deep into the hein zone...but I'm willing to give him Most Improved. The sludge from Piper Maru ties for second (because it "dressed up as Krychek") with Jeremiah Smith and the Baby Eves.
XENA!!
Scully as Leather Goddess wins the day, with Gabrielle's look, an emerald lace teddy, and the blue rubber suit from the Australian photo shoot sharing the second spot. Someone should tell Gillian Anderson about this. Or maybe they shouldn't.
Some form of drag.
Whether they want him in Princess Leia's bikini, Denise's miniskirt, or Rocky Horror fishnets and heels with iguana accessory, the voters seem to want to see more of Mulder's feminine side. There was one vote for the pirate look, and one for nothing at all.
Mulder.
Sorry; I forgot about Denise. I should've said, "Would look best in drag, but is not played by David Duchovny." Aside from the late Agent Pendrell, the only other nominee was Scully. What, no one wants to see Skinner in a dress? Or Cancerman dressed up as Margaret Thatcher?
Village People
This wins only because the Evil Twins, given the size of the sample, constitute a powerful faction whose success is an eloquent argument for a third political party in that it demonstrates how a minority party can still look out for its own needs as long as there are enough other parties putting forth rival agendas. Others wanted to see them in Western gear (chaps, spurs, and hats included...the horses' asses they have already), drag, or as a circus trapeeze act.
