A small fog machine, as usually found at pop music venues, worn under a skirt, dress or kilt.
(R&D's still working on the most appropriate attachment mechanism).
Also available for puttys and tophats.

You wouldn't want to distort the hang of the skirt, so you're probably attaching this thing to a leg. I'm seeing some chafing - or a very peculiar-looking sporran. |
|
| |
Admittedly, the design was originally conceived for kilts (there being no leg-crossing involved, also with a custom-made kilt, the sporran provides the least amount of botherage) and hoop skirts. |
|
| |
Indeed, Marketing had the "Oh what does a Scottie wear under his kilt ?" ads made up less than 30 seconds after the idea was broached in the pub by one of the interns (though, on recollection, it could have come from under the table in the general vicinity of the interns). |
|
| |
Engineering however has risen to the occasion, prototyping some rather slimline devices that are no more intrusive in normal operation than a concealed holster, for formal and even above-the-knee dresses and skirts. |
|
| |
Miniskirts are proving to be quite a challenge, but they continue to promise "any day now", every time more test subjects are requested. |
|
| |
Why can't I use it in my pants? I want jets of fog to
shoot out my legs when I laugh. Also my fly,
because I left it open, which is why I am laughing. |
|
| |
The aforementioned "puttys" can do that for pants, meanwhile we've jury-rigged a pair up with those things you use to keep socks from sagging, though they are less than useful while jogging. |
|
| |
Could rig something up fairly compact using dry ice. |
|
| |
/something up fairly compact / |
|
| |
Tats, are you referring to the in-pants version?
Because with dry ice I am sure that would be true. |
|
| |
With regard to pants I try to be flexible. |
|
| |
[tatterdemalion], that would be stretch pants, I think. I like
this idea. Especially walking home on a foggy San Francisco
night, down the steep hills, with lamp posts all around. Very
surreal. |
|
| |
Single use dry ice version is relatively simply, and doesn't
require a lot more than a hot water bottle (and some
insulation) strapped to the inner thigh. |
|
| |
Any sort of multi-use system including the most likely oil or
glycerol types are going to be a little more difficult to pull
off, since you need a pump of some sort. |
|
| |
(I may have thought about this for costuming purposes
previously). |
|
| |
Which one's the one which smells vaguely perfumey ? |
|
| |
That would probably be glycol or glycerine (slightly sweet or
"burned sugar") smell. Most people avoid the mineral oil
these days
because some people have an iffy reaction to them, but
they tend to have a slightly dark or musky smell. |
|
| |
Dry ice has no particular smell, which makes it a favorite
(although I wouldn't recommend lying down in it, lots and
lots of CO2 in the mix). |
|
| |
Just have some kind of chemical that turns red in the air,
when coming in contact with methanethiol or dimethyl
sulfide, like they (urban legend: don't) use in the pool for
detecting uric acid and other chemical compounds.
Then this wouldn't be gender or clothing specific. |
