Gangster of New York: “Elijah” @ INDI Designs
I happened to run into Oscar last night, still dressed as you see me here, and he said, “Oh, you look very Gangs of New York in that outfit.” I responded with something like, “But hopefully less bloody. And, frankly, less muddled and tedious.” Sorry, Marty, but I thought it was kind of a mess…a glorious mess, but still. Hey, I loved “The Age of Innocence”!
Oscar’s right, though: I do look like I’m either running dubious errands for Bill the Butcher, or on the run from him. I may be no Leo, but in this outfit at least I’ve got some style. This is “Elijah” by Jamie Holmer, recently released at INDI Designs. Although they’re quite different in the details, Elijah reminds me more than a little of Shai’s Newsboy outfit–not in any particular detail, but in the spirit of the era it evokes. While Shai’s newsboy ensemble delights with its youthful energy, to me Jamie’s outfit feels more mature, well suited for the former newsboy now older and working in his first apprenticeship. Sadly, every boy grows up; every youth becomes a man. The beauty of SL is that we can still go back at will, or whim, not just look back longingly from years down the road. (more…)
