a shot of GOOD TAILORING

I've decided this week that it is absolutely imperative I become my own version of the Thin White Duke.
This is all depends, of course, on finding the perfect suit. Tailoring for men is one thing, but finding a suit that fits a woman without losing to much of its classic masculinity is quite another.
What comes with the suit is an attitude - a strut- that cannot be created with a dress. It's the unapologetic cockiness and the casual cool. I suppose I am in great luck that my fashion wish was granted, and designers went trouser-happy.

a shot of NONE THE RICHER

So as mentioned before, I have a thing for violent accessories. I found this for $10, at a store that was closing down, so I have no idea who crafted this fine ring of mine (UPDATE: Thanks to the magical powers of Google, I have figured out that this ring was designed by Australian company None The Richer. Aaaaaannnnd, they are awesome. More to come). Double sided, it has a revolver on one side, and a semi-automatic on the other (bullets connect the two, along the outer edge - nice touch).
I don't own a real gun, and I don't see any reason why most people should. I am, however, fascinated with all of the inventive ways mankind has come up with to harm one another...

a shot of SOMETHING NEW

I've decided to consider the whole fashion as a mask thing literally. Who needs Tom Ford sunglasses when you could have a hand painted, lace covered mask with rhinestones? Life isn't a cabaret, it's a masquerade - and the fun comes from dressing your alter-ego.

(Side note: This does not mean I wouldn't gladly wear Tom Ford sunglasses, so please, send them my way)
