fangrrl_squeesHm.
I'd like to save the "Generic Time Agent" (formerly Girly Time Agent) rig from retirement, if possible. But, as it is at the moment, the joke just isn't coming across and that makes it a bit of a pain - or a bore! - to wear.
A bunch of you have seen it. Any suggestions for getting the point across more effectively?
(And for those who haven't seen it/don't remember the details, the rig consists of: black riding boots (cut up the back, grommetted and laced, as they're far too narrow in the calf), black jeans, a white tee-shirt with Bite Me Or Kiss Me on the front, a black pseudo-military shirt (double-breasted with bronze dome buttons, epaulettes, etc, but very feminized), a gun belt with Webley holster and, depending on the convention, I sometimes tuck a riding crop into my boot).
I thinking the tee-shirt needs to go. It's cute, but muddies the concept. I can't button the pseudo-military overshirt (the manufacturer and I have wildly divergent ideas as to what constitutes a large) so something else will have to go under it. Maybe just a plain, slightly grubby tee shirt, but... meh.
*thinks*
If I could fit into my black leather pants, I'd swap the jeans out but I can't and, besides, I don't think it would serve the point. Jeans are, y'know, durable and practical and a Time Agent needs some practicality...
So, um, yeah, any suggestions?

Meanwhile, in other costuming topics, I found a much better pic of the Lucy!Master shirt I'm working on, here. As mentioned, mine's in silver/black tafetta with black-on-black paisley playing the part of the 'vest', and French cuffs instead of the ruffle. The collar won't be quite the same, but close enough. And, eureka! I think I just figured out a fix for the too-wide shoulders. Thank god I haven't put the lining in, yet...
