Rogue Mermaid Posted August 11, 2006 Posted August 11, 2006 Weather the outfit a bit, add a baldric and a tricorn, and you'll have the look of looks. Hmmm, not a bad plan... The blue ribbon needs to be replaced with something a bit less flowery too, but thats easy to do. My favorite part is the bodice. I just love a good bodice that does what it's supposed to. It's reversable too. It's a good burgundy pattern on the other side. The whole get up was only $100! That's the second cheapest bridesmaids dress I've ever bought. It was custom too so I don't need to do any alterations. It's a shame I'll never use it for it's original purpose, but I'm sure I'll find something to do with it
Captain Jim Posted August 11, 2006 Posted August 11, 2006 You already have the "No Quarter Given" stare perfected. Aye, and if ye put a dragoon pistol in that dainty right hand, ye'd put most any rougue to flight. It's a good look for you. My occupational hazard bein' my occupation's just not around...

LadyBarbossa Posted August 12, 2006 Posted August 12, 2006 I'm startin' to feel rather out of range now. I'm at least 5'10". Even I tower over my Captain. But with the boots and hat... I'm sure I can reach 6ft easily. ~Lady B Tempt Fate! an' toss 't all t' Hell!" "I'm completely innocent of whatever crime I've committed." The one, the only,... the infamous!
