It's Almost Moustache Season

It's almost Movember (the month formally known as November) and in my RL and by default my SL I am intending to participate (much to the disdain of my rl who says any attempt at growing facial hair is much too scratchy) in the annual men's stache growing charity event that aids research into prostate cancer and other men's health issues - you can find out more and how you can participate on the official website: http://www.movember.com/

Steam's style:
Stache - sacred: Facial hair goatee v1
Sunglasses -  Blitzed: Police sunglasses
Jacket - ::[Mr.Poet]:: Work shirt black leather
Hair - W&Y Hair: New M06 Type A

So until next time...

On Patrol

Not really sure where the inspiration for this post came from but I'm pretty sure it came from a documentary about the journey of one particular soldier through the Vietnam War that was on Sunday TV a few weeks back. Having travelled through both Vietnam and Laos I have a better appreciation for the personal and military challenges faced by the Coalition forces during that particular conflict.

Helmet - from Blitzed
Survival eyes - from Damned

Assult rifle - from...... I think I picked it up at Freebie Galaxy or similar months and months ago
Camo army pants - from Tiki Tattoos
Boots - does it really matter, they are deep in the mud and you can't see them

By the way, the army cargo's are awesome - I've been wearing them ever since, lets see if they turn up again in another blog post.

So until next time...

Crazy 88 - the One Who Got Away

No, Beatrix didn't get them all..... now blessed with a blade made by Master Craftsman 服部 半蔵 a.k.a. Hattori Hanzō, (it was once owned by Bud, a member of the Deadly Viper Assassination Squad), Steam now provides specialised protective services to a very select group of clientele. Trained in the deadly art of Kendo, he and his Hanzō blade are now a formidable weapon ever ready and poised for action.

Today Steam is wearing:
HO54 black hair - from Black Maria
Police sunglasses - 2010 Platinum hunt gift from Blitzed
sf design earings - from SF Designs
Katana - from Hanzo Blades
Black wool suit - form Blaze*
Laurent shoes - from SF Design
Poses - from yours truly (large inset picture) and Exposeur

The sword I've included today I found at Hanzo Blades - after watching a re-run recently of Kill Bill Volume One I was inspired to build my own Crazy 88 look and so I went searching for a sword that would fit the bill (pun very definitely intended). I found the "Three Buddhas" at Hanzo Blades - it is intricately detailed and although this one is not scripted as I don't have the time for RP, it was the basis that started today's look. It is really very impressive.

So until next time...
