M is for Myg

You live in the street? Every day is a struggle to stay alive… you can die for a territory war and your family is a gang. You need to impress everyone with your look, and a gun is your best friend?

This post is for you!

This post is the second one on a complete look, the streetpunk style. Again, I will give some tips about everything you need — clothes, shoes, jewelery, hairs, and accessories.

You need something dark, dirty, ripped….old, worn but still stylish! I have several shops to advise:

Clothes….

Gritty Kitty: one of the best, period.

Everything is good there, from the clothes to the accessories, hairs included. Don’t forget to check the jackets, and they have real cool shirt as well…and the hair! Some of the best “dirty, disheveled ” hair you can find! And shoes…and…ok, this is a damn good shop. There’s far more for your cyber-thug look if you keep reading…

Forgive me for the following joke: you can’t go wrong at WRONG!

Yes, I need some relaxing…. I promise to whip Vanny tonight hard, and I will feel much better! But let’s focus…WRONG! is a punk style shop, with a lot of nice things. My short list: black leather jacket, “bretelle” short skirt…

Another good spot – The Block. This is a whole sim with many nice shops dedicated on the street/punk style. Be sure to check Sinister shop, they have terrific belts, some good ripped jeans, blood stain included and if you wanna look really tuff, grab their black combat boots, with a blade you can sting out…totally cool!

Hair

For hair, I would advise short “disheveled ” style, with flex ! Kitty Gritty, but you have seen them already, don’t you ? Kin, a nice shop, just near By Max, has some very good one: check the Duncan style, it is the one I have choosen (then, it’s the best, no reason to argue! .

Not enough ? Ok … check Playful Kitten at Tenemos Island. If you really need some long one, Cake is definitely the best shop imo for long, flex hair and some can fit the streetware style. And check the glasses there as well

Accessories….

Skank – R – Us has some good accessories, especially their necklace and gloves, that are very well made and pretty cheap. And again, check Kitty Gritty !

And you need some boots ! My favorite for that kind of style is the Femme boots, you can find them at Nevermore Studios. They are terrific, period! And check their jewelry and clothes section as well, you can find some very nice things there (hint: the cross necklace, the leather motojacket, the leather pant…).

Myg gave me another tip for some shoes – Civvies : Go there, check the shop !

Need some tattoo… you can find a lot of black tattoo here on SL… to stand out, go to the color ones and make the difference…. Canimal has some pretty good ones. If you are rich, the Yakuza Asian Theme is really nice.

By Max (near Kin, check hair section) has also a whole wall, and not that expensive.

Animations
Remember my post about business ? Again here, build an AO notecard for your ZHAO, with firm stand and poses… If you look weak, you are ! or find a protector

Speaking of animation….and if you are outrageously rich… Ok, kids, the following is definitely mature, DON’T go there.. and when I say mature, I mean it… SVU Intimates animations, the portable Ruff n’Snuff: test it…yes…I have it…. *blushes*

Weapons

Well, you can’t live in the street without a weapon, can you? Guns are not my specialty but I have myself done some shopping at BlackOps and BCS, they are standards for many combat sims, reliable and well done. For blade, I have choosen the yakuza way, with a nice katana at Samurai Tokyo.

Sometimes, you can’t wear a weapon and still need to fight. DCS kung fu is really cheap, you can grab it at the Toxian entrance area. Wannt something really cool? Try the leather belt from Dictatorshop.

So simple and effective: wear the belt, and with a click, grab it on your hand and slashes your opponent…Ask Vanny, she just loves it! Be sure to tell Lilliani that I advise you to come there, I need some rebates, that evil shop is drinking all my money ^^

Friggin’ post, Myg would say!
