Description
Round One of SDL's Next Top Model.Theme was 'school' so Kelsey got to tog up as a victorian schoolboy and get down to some serious misbehaving.
The outfit fits with what a schoolboy of that era would have worn in England; the Rogue's Alphabet below him is a nod to his proffession.
I vow to achieve clothing fold nirvana.

Dangit. Can't for the life of me make out what he's writing. oh gosh. X'D *laugh*
Those folds are glorious and the stance just says so much about his character in the moment. Stupendous

wow, thanks so much, van!
I was given a clothing tutorial by a friend that's helped ridiculous amounts. It's been a lot of work, but finally i've been able to lank the little bugger to the point where he looks like an urchin of that era should - underfed, ropy and faster than a greased eel.

Beneath the upturned nose and boyish naivete is the soul of a true urchin. Prickly, slimy and smelling kind of like fish.
