Orc fashions pt. 2

Been busy lately, sorry for the wait.  Here's part 2 as promised!

Nothing is immune to Orcification, not even fashion.
There are no rules. There are no restrictions.
And no orcish woman is immune from the glamour and the tastes. 
This is where I show you one of my passions: fashion designing.
And here are the samples of my interpretative work.
20th Century Vintage Clothing. There are 2 parts with four segments each.
Here's the 2nd part with clothing from the 1960s to the 1990s.

----------

1960s - a time of love, peace, sex, drugs, rock and roll, imminent nuclear wars and psycho killers. Not to mention pop art. politics, Tumurthy Lurry, and rock n' rollers like the Brutles. This is also the time for that certain piece of clothing we like to call the Miniskirt. Nothing comes close to Sexual Revolution without Miniskirts. Miniskirts mainstreamed by Mary Graunt. The Sixties.

1970s - it's like the Sixties, only with more glitter and lights, and more weed. A time of disco, presidential scandals, terrorism, environmentalism, disco, spiritual discovery, cyanide flavoured juice, disco, feminism on PMS, disco, racial rights, gay rights, rock music cranked up to 11, disco, and pet rocks. Also "disco". And it can't be disco without wearing polyester bellbottoms. It goes with tight and loose, floral and punk, plain or acid-tripped translucent garbs. Such significant was bellbottoms for women introduced by Yvrash Sur'Larrent. Or, for the more rebellious, punky leather suits by Vivienn Westwargh. The Seventies.

1980s - ah, yes, nothing could be much mentioned about the 80s without ridiculously large shoulder pads and wild hair with enough hairspray to punch the ozone layer off. It's a neon-glazed wonderland of consumerism, "Greed is Good" attitude, strong political reforms, New wave, synthpop and artificial electronic music, music videos, cartoons with subliminal stuff, catfights on the pool, and all that on crack. Satire aside, did I mention shoulder pads already? Well then, the women of all ages and sizes wore them to crash the glass ceiling. And covering them with neon sweaters. Their legs with skinny jeans they bought from Galvin Klang. And at night, where the glamour comes up like a wild tiger, shiny skimpy Lycra by Valentinorc and Orcscar de la Raida. The Eighties.

1990s - politically-correct minimalism, Internet, gifs of kitties and porn ("pussies?"), rave, grit and grunge, new millennial fears. All that in the 90s. Women have now broken the glass ceiling, only without the giant shoulder pads. But they looked strong with wearing business suits for women. Out of the office, go Buffy and Vamp and all that belly buttons. All thanks to Vera Warg's chic and Orxander McKhan's antics. The Nineties.

Orc Fashions pt.1

As promised this Orctober, this.

It's not hunks though.  It's something completely different.

Are you ready? Here it is.

Nothing is immune to Orcification, not even fashion.
There are no rules. There are no restrictions.
And no orcish woman is immune from the glamour and the tastes.
This is where I show you one of my passions: fashion designing.
And here are the samples of my interpretative work.
20th Century Vintage Clothing. There are 2 parts with four segments each.
Here's the 1st part with clothing from the 1920s to the 1950s.

----------

 
1920s - a time of loose liberation, emancipation and uncertainties, and no woman, not even Orcs, is exempted from this prosperity. Short skirts, short hair, loose bodies, loose morals, rouged lips, rouged knees, and all that jazz. In fashion, the women all go to Koko Shainerr, the prime innovator of this and that. The Twenties.

1930s - it's a rough time, but the sophisticated women are smooth. From all of this stock market crash, dust bowls, gangsters, emerging dictatorships and bad beer, women go to one special place where they could feel the escapism and unwind of a night: the theatres. And they can't go there without a little glamour on their sleeves. Glamour such as mithril-silky, siren-like, bias-cut dresses by Urg-driern and Shiabarelli, complete with silvery mink stoles and mithril jewellery that shines under the pale Deco Moon. It's a rough time, but the women stay smooth. The Thirties.
 
1940s - if they think the Depression was enough, they thought damn wrong. All over the Old World, war rages the land, the men must fight for victory or conquest, the children cry and pray for peace and playtime, and the women work for their men for war effort, and had to sacrifice everything they had, like stockings for parachutes. In everything, it won't stop improvising glamour, despite the closing of boutiques and shops. It's time for the Homebase to step up. Padded suits, fedoras, occasionally stockings, and most importantly, gloves are the trend. And every women turn to such one innovator, Klarr Makarrdell. And eventually, after the war, women would expect something much beautiful. The Forties.
 
1950s - despite the heat of the Cold War, people wanted to lay back on a good time, relieving the roughness of the last two decades, and doing this smoothly on their suburbian home. With that, the femininity came back, reminiscing things from 50 years ago, only with more cars, probable atomic-powered appliances, rebellious teenagers, and women wearing full calf-length skirt, a breathable thin waist, and short slick wavy hair. And when the evening comes, things go wild, but just as mild. Women step out of the house and dance with their man like they never danced before, wearing ball gowns inspired by Grushan Diorc. The Fifties.

What the fuck say... LOL xD

Orkish Affection

 

    They had been like brothers for years now since childhood. Through thick and thin, they clung on together, and they overcame it all together. Sadly, they had to part ways when war raged the land. Where one fought as a soldier defending the border, the other travelled the countryside looking for a living, even by means of criminal acts.

    As the war ended, and the soldier returned from the fields, only to find his friend sentenced to die for crimes of theft and banditry. Yet through petitions, trials, mercy and laconic manly drama, the rogue was freed and pardoned. Never there was much grace and brotherly love from these orcs since they parted, and the rogue jumped to his brother's arms in so much gratitude and longing after all they'd been through. The scars can tell.

    The giant of an orc soldier seemed astonished at first for carrying his little brother, but shared the affection all the while. For a witness, it felt brotherly and affectionate for old friends seeing each other again. The look in their eyes felt otherwise...

Can this rise to something more?

The Cosmopolitan

No, NOT that cosmopolitan!

THIS Cosmopolitan

THIS Cosmopolitan is a kind of cocktail mixed with vodka and the cranberry juice.  Since the seventies, where it came out from the gay communities and seedy bars, the cocktail spread out from one bar to another until it was settled to shine from the fingers of desperate women of the HBO Series "Sex and the City".  The recipe for the cosmo vary for bartender to bartender, but the main ingredients -- vodka and cranberry juice -- remains the constant base.  

Here's a variant of the cosmo cited from this site:

• Prep Time: 3 minutes

• Total Time: 3 minutes

• Yield: 1 Cocktail

• Ingredients:

• 1 1/2 oz vodka

• 1 oz Cointreau orange liqueur

• 1/2 oz fresh lime juice

• 1/4 oz cranberry juice

• Orange peel for garnish

• Preparation:

1. Shake all the ingredients with ice in a cocktail shaker.
2. Strain into a chilled cocktail glass.
3. Garnish with an orange peel.

Optionally, use citron vodka in place of unflavored vodka for a fruitier taste.

So that's about it.  Oh wait there's more.  There's a game about how to make a good cosmo in picking out an ingredient in a cabinet of ingredients.  Click on the image below to lead you there.

Results are ranked by the bartender, who also tastes your cocktail, and by mean ranked, it means reactions, like this one:

Sangria Time

Preparation time: 5 minutes of mixing, 6 hours of chilling

Tired of that boring old fermented grape extract you call wine?  Well here's to something to make your taste buds crave for more: sangria!

Sangria. It's wine, only 20% better!

Make it as your go-to drink when you’re expecting more than eight people to a cocktail party. It's quite easy to make as they do with punch. Plus, its fruity taste makes it a hit in almost any party—from a summer backyard BBQ to a bachelorette party to a kickass wedding on a zombie apocalypse night! Remember, the trick to making good sangria is to use the freshest fruits and the best alcohol.

Ingredients

• 2/3 cup brandy
• 1/3 cup fresh lemon juice
• 1/3 cup orange juice
• 1 bottle (750 ml) dry red wine
• ½ cup triple sec or peach schnapps
• 1 lemon, sliced in rounds
• 1 orange, sliced in rounds
• 8 maraschino cherries
• ¼ cup sugar (optional)
• 2 cups club soda or ginger ale (optional)

Preparation

1. Mix together the brandy, juices, dry wine, triple sec or peach schnapps. Add the sliced lemon and orange, plus the cherries. Taste the mixture, and add the ¼ cup sugar if you wish to make it sweeter.
2. Refrigerate for at least six hours to get the best flavor. 
3. Pour some club soda or ginger ale (for a sweeter finish) before serving. This gives your drink a bit of fizz.

Serves: 8
