Oh, that's funny- I know that guy; he just moved out of L.A. a few months ago and I used to go to parties at his house. He makes really interesting stuff.

OHMYGOD- check out the "For Pets" section- he's got armored pugs!

Those bra and belt sets are perfect for most LARPs that have a significant fantasy element to them; not so good for SCA events, though. They'd impinge on the "period" atmosphere some folks work very hard on setting up. The "period high" some people aim for comes out of looking at a scene that looks like it comes straight from a medieval miniature or Renaissance painting.

If it's an indoor court-based event, I go for more formal garb. If it's outdoors, I'll drag out the ghawazee coats but I have been aiming away from kuchi-decorated and mirrored bras and tassel belts (unless it's a Renaissance faire with non-SCA folks in attendance). Rajasthani mirrored cholis and lengha (circle skirts decorated with mirrored embroidery) will also do. In short: I've found that if I wear stuff that covers the tops of my boobs, I don't get sunburned cleavage after a long day. :-)

Generally, I find folks have been very nice about the non-periodness about what I've worn. That's because if they ask me if it's period I cheerfully admit that it isn't. This really disarms a lot of people.

I could see these be part of a cool costume for a FaerieWorlds or FaerieCon type of event!
