| The People of APOKILIPTIKA As of Aug 9, 2005 Kernul Killbuck Helitack Kristy Kreme Mr. Jellyfish Bad Dawg DirtyB Max Pappa Pig GI Jane Nat the Bat The Admiral The Ken Tank Girl Lothos The Count Faustus Revrot Komissar Iconoclast (Hooka Dude) Zulegoona Major Roosevelt The Lovely Cheryl Bay Bridge Sue Jammer Spectabillis Major Nexus APOKILIPTIKA - it’s population to be made up of a variety of end time types, including despots, mad scientists, maniac robots, Ian Fleming world hungry evil doers and mad genius types, and of course, the oh so fashionable neo-sovietsky-hip-fascist-chic types, which I envision forming the core types (I’d really like to discourage Regis and Kelly creations, unless you really are thinking of the world ending soon). The ladies of interrogation might just get ‘em to talk big time with the right fashion combo. Ok, let’s get basic. What would be a good start for creating a real nice outfit? Well, a set of military surplus clothing can be transformed in endless ways. Look over the stuff, and let your mind wander. Does it need to be cut up and rearranged? Painted? Beaded? How about rhinestones? Bones? Look to assemble and reconfigure things to create an attractively imposing look of your choice. Think of add-ons like epaulettes, ribbons and medals, sashes and the like. It would be interesting to completely cover the whole upper body in medals… sort of like those old Soviet Generals gone to extreme. Accessories? Well, a helmet would be cool… pith helmets too, or military caps, hats or berets suitably tripped out. Don’t forget goggles and a dust mask or bandanna. Old surplus gas masks would be handy. How about someone covering a plastic army helmet in tiny mirrors like a disco ball? Installing horns? You get the idea. A bit of web gear is a good addition—pistol belts, packs, canteens and ammo pouches are good. I’m thinking of getting a very tattered set of soldier’s gear, painting mini murals on the surfaces and trimming with rhinestones, tusks, fringes, etc. (Don't forget your oven mits damn it!) Weird Fake Weapons!! Find old toy guns, super soakers etc., and trip them out. Of course, working super soakers would be good too, particularly if it gets hot! Well, it’s really up to you. If you get stumped, there is always the camo body paint option. |
