Grungy, badass looks like this I call "Post-Apocalyptic", because it's how I like to imagine I'd look as a rebel fighter after the world has been utterly destroyed (have I mentioned I have quite an imagination - but what SLer doesn't?). It would also be a suitable look for hunting zombies, no? All's well, as long as you aim for the head! Good thing I'm a damn good shot; these babies aren't just for looks. My girls - twin Uzis named Thelma & Louise - are deadly killers (if you're on the wrong side, a zombie, or make fun of my ocd-like fear of stickers that is).
Now that we've had some fun, let's get down to the fashion (or lack thereof, if you want to be blunt about it). I adore this look, truth be told, and have a predilection for finding post-apoc-inspired sims to slink around in and take shots posing with my guns (hey, even the end of the world can't stop an avatar's vanity). If you know of some good ones, please leave the names and/or SLurls in the comments section. Thanks in advance.
Oddly, I have been able to do a number of posts without anything from Curious Kitties [SLurl: Curious Kitties] adorning my body. Amazingly, I was able to construct whole outfits without resorting to my oft-visited and very beloved CK folders. Alas, that would not last for long, and I am back wearing the "Aru" hair from CK in Blackish. Individual hairs in the "Aru" pantheon cost $L100-$L150 apiece. Available packs include the Color Pack (10 colors) for $L1,400 or the Standard Color Pack (10 colors) for $L900. CK hairs are always great for a more eclectic look; they go really well with outfits that are goth, neko, robotic, glam, punk, etc.
The skin comes from the newly-remodeled and back-in-business Frick [SLurl: Sugar Mill Grove]. This one is in the skin tone Tan (also available are Goth, Peach, and Chocolate) and is the makeup Noir Smudged. You can purchase any of the skin tones in the regular Noir set or Noir Smudged; each set costs only $L65 each and contains 4 different skins/makeups.
Both the jacket and top come from Canimal [SLurl: Canimal], but are part of different outfits. The jacket - "Ripped Jacket" from the Streetwear 2 set - comes in a pack of 6 (colors Red, Black, Blue, Green, Purple, and Brown) with two sleeve variations (Long and Short). The whole set (jackets aren't sold individually) will only set you back $L265; not a bad deal for a ripped, grungy jacket that can be paired with various types of outfits.
The top itself comes from a full outfit, a dress, called the "Castaway Dress". There are 3 available - Blue, Brown (worn), and White - and each costs $L200; no fatpack is available for these dresses.
The pants are simply called "Cords" and come in a variety of colors and fabrics at Celestial Studios [SLurl: Celestial City]. They sell for only $L100 apiece; I own all of them and they're very versatile as you can always find at least one pair to go with whatever else it is you're wearing. Here, I am wearing the Black "Cords".
These boots come in as a second fave to the "Traveller Boots" I was wearing on yesterday's outfit, Poison. I don't know if anything will ever replace L&E's "Traveller Boots" and "Traveller Bag" in my heart as favorite accessories, truth be told. Still, I cannot deny that I love my "Desert Boots". Another amazing design by the shoe-mavens at Maitreya [SLurl: Maitreya Isle]. These boots can be worn laced or unlaced and even have a few sock prim attachments as well. You can buy them individually (or as a pair, I should say) for $L400 or just grab the fatpack (as I did, of course!) for $L1,500.
The dog tags, called "Funky Cross Dog Tags" are still a bit of a mystery. As I noted in the Army Cute post, I tried to contact the creator and former owner of AJ Jewells Jewelry, but never heard anything back. For now, I will have to conclude that these tags are no longer available.
I will be getting back to you on the intimate data details of my Mac Uzis as soon as I'm able to access that information.
