Ahoy Maties, This be Tiger Lee the creator of Hot Pirate Babe Calendar series and writer of the "A Siren's Call" column in Pirates Magazine. Its almost been one year since I moved from San Diego, CA to St Augustine, FL to set up a permanent store called Pirate Portraits N Treasures in the oldest city in America. I have finally gotten around to setting up a website to sell the best items available in my store. Pirate Fashions sell a wide range of products such as: corsets, waistcoats, tricornes, replica flintlocks, cutlasses, coins, tankards, shirts, chemise, baldrics, flags n' many more items. Please take a look n' let me know what you think about the design of the site n' my offerings. Tiger Lee

Ahoy Maties, Can ye add me to yar list. This be Tiger Lee the creator of Hot Pirate Babe Calendar series. I got tired of everyone asking me where to get good stuff, so I have finally put up a website to sell some of the items in my one year old permanent store called Pirate Portraits N Treasures in the oldest city in America, St Augustine. www.PirateFashions.com sell a wide range of products such as: corsets, waistcoats, tricornes, replica flintlocks, cutlasses, coins, tankards, shirts, chemise, baldrics, flags n' many more items.

Do yar know of anyone who could be able to mock out a fiberglass cannon barrow? I know a local black smith who could make me some of the smaller items. Tiger Its not too difficult to mock up a larger fake barrel out of PVC/Foam, Fiberglass or cement. The problem comes with everything else that you want for it. All of that stuff for a gun that size is way out of your budget if you want it to look good

I am also aware of the Largo Cargo 10 foot cannon, which is too big for my space. They did tell me that they will be working on a 8 foot gun next year, which doesn't work with my time frame. If you know of any one else me me know. I also know of greatguns.org which is too big or small and too expensive for my budget. Tiger

Ahoy Maties, As you be interested in making cannon, right at the time I be in need of one. I run an Olde Tyme Pirate Photo Studio in St Augustine, FL. I want to build a set to look like the inside of a gun deck to a tallship. I am in need a realistic looking gun, probably a 9 pounder (about 5.5 feet long) on a naval carriage. It does not have to fire or be made of metal, as I would need to move it around by myself many times during the day. It does need to be strong enough to allow a few people to sit on it. I also need all the props of a gun deck such as the blocks, rammer, sponger, wormer, cannon balls, grapeshot, buckets, etc. My budget for all of this is about $1000, which is that much I know, but still alot to spend in this economy. If any of you have good ideas let me know. Yes I know about the replica cannon form Loyalist Arms, but they do not carry it anymore. Tiger Lee, creator of the Hot Pirate Babe Calendar

I'm in the Spanish Plaza in Suite I, only 2 blocks from your encampment. Open everyday from 10am to 6pm. I'm set up to take portraits as well as to sell pirate products such as: cutlasses, tricorns, sashes, belts, books, magazines, hat pins, flintlocks, socks, tankards, dubloons. I am actively seeking more product to sell on consignment, so if you have something, please drop by with examples. I don't sell any plastic or polyester like all the other pirate stores. I am trying to carry more authentic pirate products, so please help me out, mates! Tiger Lee from the South China Seas

Did anyone even look at my blog. All I got was this argument about skinny girls vs curvy women. Sorry, I be a skinny pirate and me like skinny wenches. It as been very difficult doing my own calendar, if anyone else want to do a calendar of men or big women - let them. No all the wench I shoot are skinny. A calendar is a big investment that has to pay for it self in 2 month. The blog is not about the calendar but more about the events I do and the pirate thing I come accross. I put a number of posting that are not wench related, doesn't anyone find what I have written interested or will I only get hate messages from wench who are not skinny!

Ello Shipmates, I have started a new blog of me voyages through the pirate world. In the two weeks that is has been up I has written 10 entrees highlighting the event that I have been to such as: Pier Daze, Old Fort MacArthur, Lake Forest Parade, Labyrinth of Jareth, and Ventura Harbor Pirate Days as well as other musings such as a backyard pirate ship, the Pirettes Movie Trailer and the Molly Roger Roller Girls. Please take a look and let me know what you think, mates: http://insearchofpiratewenches.blogspot.com/
