I spent Saturday night knee-deep in lace and gore, screaming orders to a slew of photographers in goggles and bowlers, dabbing flour and dirt on zombies, whores, and aristocrats.
The UnMet party was a huge success.
This is a Mourner, a character class that describes a professional woman who is hired by grieving families to attend the bedsides of the recently deceased. There she stays for three days, veiled and silent, watching for signs of reanimation. At the vaguest twitch or slightest groan, she decapitates the beast with her kukri. Mourners lead lives of dignified chastity, absolutely devoted to the art of stillness and observation.

If playing dress-up, getting your picture taken, and eating schneckens in a vintage warehouse loft sounds like a badass Saturday night, we have you covered.
By now I’ve sent most of you invitations to the photoshoot/party happening this weekend at Jason Soles’ place. I have no organized mailing list, so if anyone wants to come and didn’t get invited, let me know.
I know we have Rit and his crew rolling from Bellingham, as well as S4n and his crew, so other Hamlets who require wheels would do well to hook up with the caravans.
WHY ARE WE DOING THIS TO YOU: We’re taking photos to turn into illustrations for the book, which is an RPG set in a steampunk future London that is infested with zombies, vampires, cheap whores, inbred aristocrats and the unsavory lower class. I’ll grab the photos and manip them a bit so they look aged, then they go in the book and you all become famous RPG models. Just like…uh…
WHAT TO BRING: We need all the props, costumes and doodads you can spare. The theme is Victorian, mostly, but feel free to augment with rococo, 1700’s, and Edwardian.
Try to keep cyber and fetish influence to a minimum, this isn’t the World of Dorkness. Bring any hats, monstrous prosthetics, fake blood, fangs, monocles, wigs, feathers, jewelry, boots, scarves, bones and skulls, makeup, ribbons, parasols, corsets, oldschool spectacles and whatnot that you can. BRING EVERYTHING.
We also need technological flourishes: gearwheels, goggles, medical items, that sort of thing.
Any outfits you can put together that we are allowed to make completely filthy will make us very happy. Futurelondon is even sootier and more decrepit than it was in the 1800’s, and photoshopped filth just doesn’t have the same oomph.
Here’s the website for the book: http://www.newdarkage.net
And the photos from the last UnMet party, which was not officially a photoshoot but should have been: http://www.kascadia.org/unhallowed2/index.html
Also, woo, I get to see you if you show up. Which happens maybe once a year (because I’m a bad friend, you all live like 500 miles away, I’m busy, you’re busy, and I’m sorry).
Frankly I’m not sure what the ratio of party:photoshoot will be, but there WILL be food and tea and music and drink and dressing up and hanging out. Maybe even punch and pie. People who feel like bringing food or drink are encouraged to do so and will be thanked vehemently.
Marc17 and I are manning the official cameras, there will be other photographers present, and I’m under the impression that there are several people doing makeup and hair, including ME! If you can do your own, neato. If you’re not persnickety about having me do it (or add to/change it), even neatoer. If you can DO makeup and hair, rad.
And after the photoshoot there will be a dance-off. The loser will have to pose for the “about the author” shot in the back of the book. NUDE.

You people disgust me.
From one of my posts on Kotaku today:
“The latex catsuit is flexible enough for everything from cringing and wailing to shotgunkata, and hides none of your delicious curves. In fact, a well-tailored catsuit can go a long way towards hiding cellulite, less-than-perky breasts, or a few extra pounds in the stomach area. And it is absolutely impermeable by pus, mucus, saliva, blood, and any other Z virus-bearing bodily fluid that is not strongly acidic or laced with rubber-devouring nanobots.
And if you keep it nice and lubed, their dull human teeth will slide right off with a squeak.
To better assist my flying monkeys in visualizing this, I have included a diagram.
This is Dii, named such because when she was wee, her parents thought it was funny that she was fat, and called her Gordita. The nickname stuck, as they do, so she’s a little sensitive about her weight. This getup makes her uncomfortable. She’s all grown up and thinned out, and now she works in the mall’s “adult novelty” shop to pay for design college.
Her gear includes: pink catsuit with waterproof zipper and hood (pilfered from the “apparel” section), backpack for carrying inventory (like rubber cement and duct tape for on-the-go repairs), hockey stick (from Jock n’ Go), dust mask (Hungerdunger & McCormick Hardware), and she’s about to acquire a fine denim vest.”
Spent the star-spangled evening in the good company of the flock of feral fetish models I have befriended via fashion shows.
Parties hosted by fetish models are exactly what your perverted brain is imagining: lots of good-looking girls in tight clothing playing kissing games and striking each other about the thighs and shapely buttocks.
You know that scene in Animal House where Bluto clambers up the side of a sorority house to observe a barechested pillowfight between nubile members of the blonde brigade? Of course you do.
It’s just like that, but with more eyeliner.
The only difference between your fantasy wonderland and my vinyl-slick reality, is that the girls all bring their men. These fellows act as enthusiastic but slightly withdrawn audience members, rarely deigning to become involved even when asked, nay, ordered.
And I am always the third party, observing in a smirky sort of way and cracking wise. Sketching, sometimes.
But the point is that my eyebrows look fantastically weird tonight. Cartoonish. Very much like my Toovibohnes pic.
