Those last two pictures of the girls are great, Caeli, exactly what I imagined. One of them has a skirt that is both blue<em>and</em>green tartan. Blue or green is fine - Combi, its your call but I agree with Caeli that Japanese schools (especially the top ones) are VERY strict on uniform and not a lot of variation would be allowed, maybe sock length and colour for the girls...for the boys I can't think of much to vary at all.<br/><br/>The top pic of the two boys is perfect! But... second one... Nooooo! Tartan trousers... Nooooo! Fashion gaff of the first order!<br/><br/>Would using an anime character as my avatar be OK or do you want real people Combi?<br/><br/>And ramster - yeah, I sort of imagine all the girls lined up against the corridor windows of the upper floor watching the coaches draw up and all the boys pile out... all the girls talking and wondering if the boys are evil or perverts or have horns out of their heads or something. And the boys all hormonally overloaded and cocky and thinking "Girls - yeah!"<br/><br/>When in fact once they meet everyone is incredibly shy and nervous and twitchy.<br/><br/><div class="quoteheader"><div class="topslice_quote"><a href="https://elliquiy.com/forums/index.php?topic=22322.msg876738#msg876738">Quote from: ramster on 15-10-2008, 08:39:34</a></div></div><blockquote class="bbc_standard_quote">I like the idea of a coachload of slightly nervous boys arriving all at once, á la Saving Private Ryan:<br/><br/><strong>"THIRTY SECONDS!" <br/>"PREPARE TO DISEMBARK!"<br/>"ZIP YOUR FLY SHUT LADIES!!!"</strong></blockquote><div class="quotefooter"><div class="botslice_quote"></div></div>And we all know what happens in the first 30 seconds of Saving Private Ryan.
