QUOTE (Draco18s @ Nov 2 2011, 09:01 AM)  Keeping in mind that it was taken with a still camera pointed (poorly) at a CRT television set hooked up to an XBucks. It's lamentably, the best picture I could find. It's more hilarious when you get the "my gun has a shield!" mod, then pimp the gun. The entire shield gets diamond studs, for no reason. Yikes.... Save me from the Crazyness... |

I'm not a consol FPS person myself, but I had fun. It's not pink mohawk, it's Electric Pink 2 foot Mohawk Battle Guitar Machinegun. It's over the top and it knows it. |

QUOTE (Ol' Scratch @ Oct 14 2011, 10:19 PM) Everything except the group on the left in the first picture would stand out like a sore thumb. Just because there's a handful of people walking around dressed like idiots, that in no way justifies that it's even remotely normal or goes unnoticed. That looks like the Akihabara district. That's pretty mild for some of the things I've seen there. |

Doesn't the world of SR4A have a flavor text stating that EVERYONE carries some sort of firearm for protection? If so, then it's not surprising if people started making their weapons like accessories & matching some pieces with some clothes/shoes. Easy to see a corp bunny with a pink, blinged out Colt L36 that perfectly matches her shoes for that night out at Cub Penumbra.

If you look back to one of the links I posted earlier in this thread about designer duds in mafia prisons you'll see that things like this are being used as status symbols in crime rings. I have to wonder how long it will be before Joey Santori starts using a diamond encrusted gun to kill off threats just to start a reputation. And I totally could see a socialite having a crystal encrusted gun. It would be exactly like cell phones in the early/mid 2000's. The crystal craze has kinda died down but I totally see how men and women alike would start personalizing them. Damn. Now I'm all off on tangents in my brain thinking about how I could customize a gun to match my favorite outfits... |

Heh, my adept's pistol was supposed to have grips like Reinhard's Beretta from Blade 2, to match his katana, and I wanted, for a time, to make a pair for my airsoft Springfield. |

And here I was trying to figure out how to match my newly acquired Lanvin 70's op art dress to a pistol of some sort that will match a few other vintage dresses I own! LOL! |

One only has to look at the blinged-out custom pistols confiscated from drug cartels or Saddam's gold-plated AK. |

Of all the things Saddam was accused of, I doubt good taste was among them.

I certainly couldn't tell ya. Jeans and a polo are as high class as I get. Saddam was stylish compared to Kadaffi, though. At least Saddam knew when to shave.

QUOTE (CanRay @ Nov 4 2011, 04:12 AM) To be fair, does any world leader have good taste? Both Mr. and Mrs. Obama have great fashion sense. I really *REALLY* love what Michelle does with her fashion. She wears a good majority of clothing that anyone can buy. I was just digging through Marc Jacob's Facebook yesterday and found some wall photos with her wearing dresses of his. Sure, they're still high three figures, but anyone can conceivably purchase one. Its not like she's wearing impossible to find clothing. I think it really helps relate her image to people Queen Elizabeth II has wonderful fashion for a woman of her age as do William and Kate. Most of the British royals have great fashion sense. (Yes, even Princess Beatrice in the Cthulhu hat). Nicolas Sarkozy is a very well dressed man. Charlene, Princess of Monaco is a wonderfully dressed woman but I'm not sure how long she'll actually stay a "World Leader" with Albert being a creeper. So I don't know. I tend to think that most world leaders are fairly well dressed, I think Gaddafi/Saddam just gave a weird skew on things. Holy canoli! Wiki for the win. So I'm reading up on Gaddafi's kids and it turns out his only daughter Ayesha is way different than I expected! Hello western fashion influences! |

I don't like some of Mrs. Obama's outfits, but I tend to think of Jackie Onassis as the standard for class. Why JFK thought he needed to cheat on her I'll never understand. (yeah, power trip, whatever.... Whadda low life.)

I came across an article in Bloomburg Weekly (Because I'm corporate scum that gets BBW.)I had to share concerning this topic I brought up earlier:
QUOTE The other large scandal in Italian fashion is that of black market goods that filter their way through Italy in various methods. One of the most striking examples of this was one I read about nearly 10 years ago where fashion houses were importing Asian factory workers to work in their factories. This allowed them to pay a miniscule amount for their work and place the ever coveted "Made in Italy" on the label. This was especially popular with leather goods and has been traced to some of the largest fashion houses including Prada. Its about a town that's now 1/4 illegal Chinese workers that work in sweatshops to put that "Made in Italy" stamp on clothing and leather goods. Tax evasion, human trafficking and black market goods. What more could you want? |

Combine that with a Bunraku Parlor and skillwires so they can shift from job-to-job? Sleep Regulators or gross amounts of Long Haul knock-offs would be needed.

QUOTE (Saint Hallow @ Nov 2 2011, 05:20 AM) I think it's cute... & adds a spin to firearms that hopefully make it more "female friendly". Not that guns need to be, but social morays & all that crap... sometimes making guns more palatable to others is the only way to keep them from being phased out due to some people's reactions to them & how they are portrayed. 2nd thing that went through my mind was if they made a Hello Kitty gun, I wonder if they make Transformers or ThunderCats versions? If the girls get something, why not the boys? On discovery channel's American guns they customized, what looked to be a Kimber originally, 1911 by duracoating it hot pink. The owner of the company refused to do it at first. It might hurt male gun enthusiasts to see or make pink guns, but such is the price of women becoming gun owners. Its not a "phasing out" that is being fought, but a "phasing in" of females back into the firearms market. Maybe I'm just too chauvinist, but it still hurts me a little when I see "cute" guns. |
