So many rogues, cutpurses and assassins are caught every day because of improper choice of attire. Sure, that all-black ensemble may look imposing, but you're <span style="font-weight: bold; font-style: italic;">never</span> going to convince a guard that you're innocent when wearing it!<br /><br />"No sir, I'm no thief!

To that I simply must say "tough tiddlywinks!" I'm a gnome, and a fashionable one at that! Do you think I can just go to the Tall-Mart in downtown Stormwind and buy stylish designs in my size? I have to be resourceful, and work hard! It's no easy task to look this good, my friends!<br /><br />Style is hard work, people! Be aggressive! B-E aggressive! *ahem* Sorry. Getting a bit ahead of myself!<br /><br />Continuing my trend of designs that are not easy to come by, this next one is a doozie, and by that I mean it would take two years to gather everything you need for it! That takes spirit!<br /><br />And speaking of spirit, these girls have it, yes they do, modeling the most dazzling of faction fashion as they cheer on their champions at the Crusader's Arena! Available in Wrynn Red or Garrosh Green, these ensembles are sure to get your faction's blood pumping!<br /><br /><a href="http://s842.photobucket.com/albums/zz349/FashionableGnome/Blog/?action=view¤t=Cheerleader2.png" target="_blank"><img src="http://i842.photobucket.com/albums/zz349/FashionableGnome/Blog/Cheerleader2.png" border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a><br /><br /><span style="font-weight:bold;">Wrynn Red</span><br /><br /><br /><a href="http://www.wowhead.com/item=25753">Red Linen Shirt</a><br /><br /><a href="http://www.wowhead.com/item=34085">Red Winter Clothes</a><br /><br /><a href="http://www.wowhead.com/item=9636">Swashbuckler Sash</a><br /><br /><a href="http://www.wowhead.com/item=31537">Darktread Boots</a><br /><br /><a href="http://www.wowhead.com/item=45073">Spring Flowers</a><br /><br /><br /><a href="http://s842.photobucket.com/albums/zz349/FashionableGnome/Blog/?action=view¤t=Cheerleader10.png" target="_blank"><img src="http://i842.photobucket.com/albums/zz349/FashionableGnome/Blog/Cheerleader10.png" border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a><br /><br /><br /><span style="font-weight:bold;">Garrosh Green</span><br /><br /><a href="http://www.wowhead.com/item=17723">Green Holiday Shirt</a><br /><br /><a href="http://www.wowhead.com/item=34087">Green Winter Clothes</a><br /><br /><a href="http://www.wowhead.com/item=6570">Shimmering Sash</a><br /><br /><a href="http://www.wowhead.com/item=6562">Shimmering Boots</a><br /><br /><a href="http://www.wowhead.com/item=45073">Spring Flowers</a>The Fashionable Gnomehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12487460424117224263noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1458499517422017022.post-54751470777432329592010-08-07T22:31:00.002-04:002010-08-07T22:34:02.175-04:00Advertising Works!Some of you may be noticing some issues with Photobucket and my images.

Today's design is modeled above by Lady Josin Teya of Stormwind, as well as her brigade of Lady Lions of Stormwind. Quite the fetching look, isn't it?<br /><br />One of my earliest designs, the Tagalong Fashions' <i>Stormwind Guard </i>is authentic enough to use for new recruits to the post, or for those who are more interested in infiltrating Wrynn's great city. It's only a matter of time before some stranger comes up and asks you directions to the nearest trainer!<br /><br />((Many folks think "Oh, just use the Imperial Plate set!" for creating a Stormwind Guard. That's partially true, but some of the pieces are just completely wrong. (The shoulders, especially.) I wish I could say that the addition of the Stormwind Tabard had made this even more indistinguishable, but that tabard is terrible. Also, even the Stormwind Guards aren't consistent from guardsman to guardsman, so some variation is acceptable.<br /><br />Anyway, here's the list. Some are quest items, some are craftable. The wowhead links will point you in the right direction to gather them.))<br /><br /><br /><a href="http://s16.photobucket.com/albums/b29/MKrotzer/Tagalong/?action=view¤t=StormwindGuard1.png" target="_blank"><img src="http://i16.photobucket.com/albums/b29/MKrotzer/Tagalong/StormwindGuard1.png" border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a><br /><br /><br /><a href="http://www.wowhead.com/?item=12427">Imperial Plate Helm</a><br /><br /><a href="http://www.wowhead.com/?item=17779">Hulkstone Pauldrons</a><br /><br /><a href="http://www.wowhead.com/?item=12422">Imperial Plate Chest</a><br /><br /><a href="http://www.wowhead.com/?item=1203">Aegis of Stormwind</a><br /><br /><a href="http://www.wowhead.com/?item=10202">Overlord's Vambraces</a><br /><br /><a href="http://www.wowhead.com/?item=12429">Imperial Plate Leggings</a><br /><br /><a href="http://www.wowhead.com/?item=9366">Golden Scale Gauntlets</a><br /><br /><a href="http://www.wowhead.com/?item=2424">Brigandine Belt</a><br /><br /><a href="http://www.wowhead.com/?item=12426">Imperial Plate Boots</a><br /><br /><a href="http://www.wowhead.com/?item=15196">Private's Tabard/</a><a href="http://www.wowhead.com/?item=15198">Knight's Colors</a><br /><br /><a href="http://www.wowhead.com/?item=25825">Footman's Longsword</a>Cogspinnerhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06459545542822135019noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1458499517422017022.post-43091306229856515342010-01-18T17:57:00.003-05:002010-01-19T19:17:21.480-05:00Pirates!<a href="http://s16.photobucket.com/albums/b29/MKrotzer/Tagalong/?action=view¤t=PirateCrewHead.png" target="_blank"><img src="http://i16.photobucket.com/albums/b29/MKrotzer/Tagalong/PirateCrewHead.png" border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a><br /><br />My mind's racing from chasing pirates!<br /><br />Here we have a collection of high style from the high seas–from broken bottles to blood-tinged blades, this collection should meet the needs of any rum-soaked rogue or peg-legged plunderer!<br /><br />Whether you're planning on pillage or just looking for fashionable high adventure, these outfits are just what you need!<br /><br />Naturally, we should begin with the captain, the sturdy mast of any pirating vessel.<br /><br /><a href="http://s16.photobucket.com/albums/b29/MKrotzer/Tagalong/?action=view&current=PirateCaptain.png" target="_blank"><img src="http://i16.photobucket.com/albums/b29/MKrotzer/Tagalong/PirateCaptain.png" alt="Photobucket" border="0" /></a><br /><br />Our very... err... lovely... model is wearing:<br /><br /><a href="http://www.wowhead.com/?item=2955">First Mate Hat</a><br /><br /><a href="http://www.wowhead.com/?item=6795">White Swashbuckler's Shirt</a><br /><br /><a href="http://www.wowhead.com/?item=7058">Crimson Silk Vest</a><br /><br /><a href="http://www.wowhead.com/?item=10190">Swashbuckler's Belt</a><br /><br /><a href="http://www.wowhead.com/?item=14171">Buccaneer's Pants</a><br /><br /><a href="http://www.wowhead.com/?item=14174">Buccaneer's Boots</a><br /><br /><a href="http://www.wowhead.com/?item=39355">Smotts' Cutlass</a><br /><br /><a href="http://www.wowhead.com/?item=15972">Ritual Stein</a><br /><br /><br /><br /><a href="http://s16.photobucket.com/albums/b29/MKrotzer/Tagalong/?action=view&current=PirateCrew1.png" target="_blank"><img src="http://i16.photobucket.com/albums/b29/MKrotzer/Tagalong/PirateCrew1.png" alt="Photobucket" border="0" /></a><br /><br />This brings us to our daring doxy of the docks, Josin, who is wearing:<br /><br /><a href="http://www.wowhead.com/?item=15167">Imposing Bandana</a><br /><br /><a href="http://www.wowhead.com/?item=14175">Buccaneer's Vest</a><br /><br /><a href="http://www.wowhead.com/?item=3344">Captain Sanders' Sash</a><br /><br /><a href="http://www.wowhead.com/?item=3022">Bluegill Breeches</a><br /><br /><a href="http://www.wowhead.com/?item=22992">Bogwalker Boots</a><br /><br /><a href="http://www.wowhead.com/?item=4560">Fine Scimitar</a><br /><br /><a href="http://www.wowhead.com/?item=12791">Barman Shanker</a><br /><br /><br /><br /><a href="http://s16.photobucket.com/albums/b29/MKrotzer/Tagalong/?action=view¤t=PirateCrew4.png" target="_blank"><img src="http://i16.photobucket.com/albums/b29/MKrotzer/Tagalong/PirateCrew4.png" border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a><br /><br />Our next model is displaying our Plunderer's Package.
