I like the second better (brighter), but are we sure it's not used anywhere else? (Since it's already uploaded)

New theme music also a boxThis page has no image because pages with medium specific subpages are not supposed to have images.
"If you aren't him, then you apparently got your brain from the same discount retailer, so..." - FighteerIt's okay, we can discuss options.
The reason we leave the main page blank is so that it's "medium-agnostic", but I can see us putting up a real life image. It's not a medium.
"If you aren't him, then you apparently got your brain from the same discount retailer, so..." - Fighteer-insert obligatory "That's what they want you to think" remark-
We did that for Paranoia Fuel. I like the second image in the OP; smaller is better, as there's a size restriction of 350px on images.
That was the amazing part. Things just keep going.Historic-costume geek speaking here. Neither of those is particularly pimped-out for the time period they're from. In fact, they're both actually quite plain for a court dress of that era. To me, pimped out means "extravagantly decorated and elaborate, compared to other dresses of the same era."
...if you don’t love you’re dead, and if you do, they’ll kill you for it.I was kind of thinking the same. It's not particularly pimped.
Check out my fanfiction!Here are a couple suggestions. The second is from a reality show, not sure if that counts. It is one of the documentary style ones, so the dress is really what this girl would have worn regardless.
The first one counts. Even for Elizabethan, that's elaborate. The second, again, is quite simple and plain for the time period it is from.

...if you don’t love you’re dead, and if you do, they’ll kill you for it.That's right. If you want it pimped out you would have to go with The Tudors instead of The Other Boleyn Girl. There's one similar to your examples◊ and another illustrated◊. I think it would be better to go with another time period though. Perhaps something from Marie Antoinette? There's [1]◊ and [2]◊. There's also The Duchess [3]◊. Although I think something fantasy rather than historical would be better. Star Wars has the senate one◊.
Edit: @ willthiswork - Your Elizabethan one is probably best out of everything.

I'd support 10.1, it's a painting of a real person, so it's not medium specific.
Ten Point One for me.
"For a successful technology, reality must take precedence over public relations, for Nature cannot be fooled." - Richard FeynmanCheck your subpages, guys. There's already a good pic on the Real Life page, unless everyone's determined to replace it.
We're talking about the Main page, not the Real Life subpage.
...if you don’t love you’re dead, and if you do, they’ll kill you for it.I don't see a need to put a pic on the Main/ page; the suggested pic is the same kind of image that's on the RL page, and finding someone living that's not from a work and wearing a blingy dress would just be another kind of RL image.

Clock is set.
In favor of Amidala's from Star Wars, as there's already a different picture for the Film subpage. Here's the Senate Dress◊ without a watermark and if that doesn't work, she had a huge wardrobe.

...which would put an image from a medium on the main page, which we're trying to avoid.
Doesn't Pimped-Out Dress have a subpage for everything, including Real Life? Speaking as a newbie, how would that be avoided for such pages? With a picture of Trope-tan?

Ooh, having Trope Tan in a shmancy dress would be a great workaround...but I dunno who'd have time to draw her up.

Clock's up; locking for inactivity/lack of consensus. No action is to be taken based on this thread.
Sadly this page has no image,lets change that!
edit:I forgot you could edit the title!
