I went into an odd fit of "Gotta Make Something Leather"itis recently. I'm not sure where, why, when, or how this happened, as I generally make things more geared for the fantasy goth or Victorian Steampunk gentlemen out there, but there was this synaptic snap, and suddenly the brain made squeaky sounds as the gears turned.
Then it hit me. I already have a lot of clothing and stuff inspired by Johnny Depp characters, and unsurprisingly, he played a 50s bad boy named "Cry Baby Walker". Move aside, Arthur Fonzarelli. Take a hike, James Dean. Don't bug me, Marlon Brando. You guys were all wild ones but, for whatever reason, I appear to be inspired by the twisted mind of John Waters.
So along came this idea for the Fifties Rebel. It's a fairly generic rebel outfit; it's got the leather jacket with the cuffs, the collar, and the belt; it's got the jeans, in faded blue and in black, it's got the ubiquitous white teeshirt; and it's got a pair of manky old boots, as worn by Johnny Depp on any given day. He seems to favor the Thrift Store look, so why not introduce a bit of that into Second Life?
Ordinarily, this outfit would run $L425 or thereabouts, but on Christmas Eve and Christmas Day, I had this puppy on sale for 100L. It was a sort of Thank You to everyone for helping make 2011 a fantastic year for me.
If you missed the Rebel sale, don't fear. My real life birthday's coming up soon, and I celebrate that with an exclusive item you get to hunt for piece by piece. It will not be sold in the store, but it will be the same great quality you've come to expect from me.
Meanwhile, here's a picture. If you happen to hit the store before the end of Christmas day, you can get it super inexpensively. Of course, there are still Twisted Krissmuss items on sale for 100L till January.
Here's hoping you all have a safe and wonderful 2012.
