Does it work, or is it a snowclone and needs a better name?: Pimped Out Cape

I just launched Pimped-Out Cape, but I asked on the ykttw if it needed a better title. I didn't get a response there, but this is a better place for that anyway.

So do you think the name is fine, or too close to Pimped-Out Dress and Pimped-Out Car? I'm fine with it either way. It would just be easier to fix it if we renamed it now.

I think it works fine. It's a snowclone, but all three are the same trope applied to different items — and that's when snowclones work. If someone has read one "Pimped Out" Trope, and then they see the other names, if they expect them to be similar in meaning they'll be precisely correct.

Snowclones aren't always bad. In this case it's the exact same trope for all three with only the item in question changing. As a result it's actually clear for once and not just smushed in badly.

It's a good name — the phrase is well-known, it's applicable and evocative. (Doubly applicable to one Wladziu Valentino Liberace.)

Okay, just want to be sure about this.

"Pimped Out" is a well-established term outside the wiki for "flashily and heavily embellished, often to a point approaching tastelessness". It would work well as a naming convention here, as long as we keep it to that definition, no mater what the item in question. What we need to be careful of is letting it slip into simply "decorated".

Well, I think the current page image should help with the idea of what we want.

That was already taken care of. Besides, a name doesn't come with the image on every wick.

Since it appears that there is no problem with the trope title, can the TRS tag be removed from the article? AFAIK, that requires that the TRS thread be locked.
