Item 173 – Historical Rap (Norton I)

You may have heard about a little show called Hamilton. Lin Manuel Miranda lit up Broadway with his innovative style, combining traditional theater and rap to engage delighted theater goers with the story of history’s hippest President. But that was just a big “win all the 2016 Tonys” ploy. We want to hear and see– in full costume a rap song about another historical figure important to you. Upload a 15 second video on the site AND send it to @Lin_Manuel.

Lyrics:

Joshua Norton, self-proclaimed emperor
More ambitious than any contemporar-y
Ruling the Americas from San Francisco
Let him be our leader if he wants to believe

‘Cause it’s all special thanks to the Emperor’s decree
That the gap was bridged by Interstate 80
So here’s to our leader, first in line of one
I salute you, Norton, Emperor second to none

Item 168 - Butterfly Bra Model for Hope Chest

At Hope Chest they create butterflies and transform lives http://www.myhopechest.org/ Channeling your inner Monet, pen a message of hope with colored ink on a white bra. Then, channel your inner supermodel and stage a public photo shoot of someone wearing this “support undergarment.” (You may wear a shirt underneath it if you prefer and you must adhere to local laws. Please note that Gishwhes does not provide bail money.) Once completed, submit your image on the gishwhes website and also tweet to @MyHopeChest your awesome results on the final day of the game. Extra points for incorporating butterflies into the design. – Ruth Connell

Being #WaywardAF sometimes means being #BadassAF. Take a picture of you doing something you have ALWAYS wanted to do but were afraid to try. Caption your photo with a short explanation and post it to Twitter tagging @OfficialBrianaB and @kimrhodes4real. – Briana Buckmaster and Kim Rhodes

Lucinda has always wanted to create her own GISHWHES items, so she went meta and assigned personalized challenges to various team members.

Custom Hunt Items

Item 166.1 - Foam Armor

Jim – Craft & wear either a helmet or breastplate made of foam.

Item 166.3 - Strong and Beautiful Witch

Kyla – Show us what it means to be a strong & beautiful witch.

I went meta on your meta, Lou.

I’ve always wanted to share a picture of myself post-breakdown.

A few friends were concerned that this image was too sad to convey strength. I want to challenge that idea. I used to work really hard not to feel my feelings because it wasn’t strong. I think my ability to feel is one of my greatest strengths now, and I want to share that.

In my intimate circle of witch sisters, I’m a famous for epic breakdowns. Whatever I’m feeling, I feel to the fullest. It’s been a big piece of my spiritual journey to reclaim my emotional sensitivity as a power (and not see it as a huge inconvenience to me and everyone else) but it is a gift… so many people shared with me the beauty and strength they felt in witnessing me go to my fullest – and how it felt when I brought them there too. This is one more step on the path to reclaiming my full self, sharing this with GISHWHES. On Thursday, I dressed up as a zombie for work, then got in the car and screamed my throat sore over heartbreak, then sobbed and sobbed, then pulled it together for an ocean scene burrito eating Cali perfection shot – then more tears, and a captured photo of the wreckage. All in a day’s work for a strong and beautiful witch. We just keep going, and living, and feeling it all, and that’s the legacy I want to leave.

Oh, and the moon, because she gets it too.

<3 Thank you for this incredibly special and personal GISH opportunity.

You are not allowed to email support for ANY clarification on this item. (What I lack in eloquence, I make up for with capriciousness.)

Let’s see the zombie who replaced you at your place of employment, doing whatever you used to do to make a living.

Many people think superheroes have a great life of running around saving people with lots of public recognition for their grand deeds. But we know the truth. They have to do the same domestic chores in their off time that we do. Let’s see a superhero performing a tedious domestic chore. -Monica M.
