I'm still the captain of this ship

Surprisingly, pirates aren't always the most trustworthy crew. Should you find yourself mutineered and marooned, best have a fallback option.

If you can't manage to lash sea turtles together with human hair from your back, Mien's raft pose prop should prove invaluable.

Peqe's coat will keep you warm as the sun drops below the horizon, and every captain must have her hat (this one's from May's Soul). Fight off invaders or harpoon fish with EZ Weaponry's cutlass, while you stomp aboard the deck with boots from Hopscotch.

The hair (super-long, and with a headscarf) comes from Olive, and the pants and gold coloured belt are part of the Bonny outfit from Bite & Claw. Necklaces and top (tinted) are from The.Plastik.

The pirate queen

Another couple of items from  The Fantasy Collective: Pirates!

This gown from Junbug is called Temptress of Tortuga and with its narrow waist and full hips, has a definite look of 18th century pannier skirts about it. It's not so exaggerated that you need to go through a door sideways though.  My favourite feature of the gown is the lush vibrance of the skirt though; it's really fabulous. I think it would make a perfect gown for gothic or vamp roleplay.

The hat is from Cellar Door, and it's just part of the High Seas Runt outfit which also includes a corset and mask. It comes in noir and aqua colours.  The eyepatch is from Sweet Poison, and you can choose either the leather or fur variation.

The pirate lass

A new round of The Fantasy Collective opens tomorrow, and the theme is Pirates, so think Black Sails, Pirates of the Caribbean, Blackbeard, Anne Bonny and Grace O'Malley! Arrrghhh me hearties!

The very eerie rocks I'm standing on - including wrecked ship and skeleton floating in the waters below - are from Kalopsia. The Lost Pirate Island at original size is only 25 LI. I enlarged the scene though, naturally pushing the LI upwards.

The main outfit I'm wearing is The White Armory's Cabin Girl mesh bloomers set, which includes mesh boots, lace choker, and pirate hat. However, for these pics, I swapped it out for MeshedUp's pirate bandana and hat. The bandana includes two versions, one for wearing with the hat, and one for wearing on its own. You will need a nice sleek hair for a neat fit.  (A shrug from Indyra and belt from The.Plastik complete the look.)

Perched on my shoulder is the Mowie pet from May's Soul / Tentacio. This time he/she is decked out like a fearsome pirate, complete with hat, eye patch, and a hook for a paw. Arrrrr!

Soedara at We Love Role-Play

Round 11 of  We <3 RP opens on Friday. Soedara have put out two new outfits, each at 30% off. The Scurvy Wench is a pirate-inspired ensemble, featuring a corseted dress, shrug, armwarmers and jewelry. Meanwhile, Berhawa-nafsu is a skimpy mesh camisk.

Both outfits have lots of options for you to play with; some are hud controlled, and some are additional options included in the pack. For instance, with scurvy wench, the hud lets you change the colours of the corset and the flowers. There are also two colours of the shrug, and an alternative dress has different colours in the skirt. The Berhawa-nafsu huds let you change the opacity of the camisk, the colour of the fabric, or the colours of the beads.

The boots I'm wearing alongside Scurvy Wench are from Kahli Designs, and are part of the Elven Courtier outfit. The sandals I'm wearing with the camisk are add-ons for Slink flat feet from Maxi Gossamer, at this month's Fameshed.

Junbug at Geeks 'n' Nerds fair

If you want to get down to the Geeks 'n' Nerds fair you'd better hurry - it only runs for a couple more days until December 8th.

What I really love about the Zelda outfit is that all the pieces are separate - boots, breeches and doublet. So you can mix and match as you please.  The beautiful Cersei gown meanwhile is inspired by Game of Thrones / ASOIAF but it as it's perfectly modest it's suitable for lots of roles.
