Through hell and back

The Highwater family has an ICON and it’s Thorin Highwater.  He is the legacy all the Highwaters fight so hard to maintain.  Rathe’s grandfather has the most burly northern look.  Hair everywhere, a massive man, scared, brutal and stone cold.  What more would you expect from a true Torvie.

Hail to Thorin Highwater

Fallon

On a side note, My grandfather is wearing a PFC trio, Three outfits from PFC all mixed, PFC is a must for all males out there, its a basic essential to any mans wardrobe and always a great place to start or fall upon if you get stumped with any outfit you create, Enjoy all.

The Great Mother of All

Black Pearls hit upon the greatest goddess of all times.  Gaia was the great mother of all: the primal Greek Mother Goddess; creator and giver of birth to the Earth and all the Universe.

As the song goes…

I will sing about the mother of all,
the well-founded and eldest
who feeds all creatures as many as they are,
all that move on the trusty land, and all in the sea, and all that fly, all these are fed from her wealth.
Hail, Mother of the gods,
wife of starry Heaven.

The crown and necklace are a perfect start to any outfit.  While Totally Top Shelf is about Greek mythology this round this can be used in any role-play, Gorean, Game of Thrones, Fairies etc.  It’s simply beautifies not only your avie but any outfit placed with it.

Thank you Yasay the talented and creative designer/owner of Black Pearls.  Everything you make is excellent proof is in the picture.

For all those that enjoy photography Rack Poses will be at the Totally Top Shelf event with six fabulous poses.  The one I have used is #5 and the doves come with each pose adjusted for them specifically.

Remember we are counting down to the grand opening of Totally Top Shelf on June 13, 2014.  It’s an event you will love and want to visit often.

We be travelin

Rathe and I have family all over it seems.  So we packed up some bags, tossed them over our shoulder and headed out.  Down south we will head to Jahesa to see his niece and nephew.  Then up to Thentis to see his sister Aroha.  Further north to Mjolnir to see Ma and Pa and little brother Ran!  I’m sure along the way we will find much trouble or more interesting things.  Our first stop was the new Teslit Forest which is a great hide out for us and will provide good cover when we are on the run.  If you see us coming put on the vittles and break out the mead we are gonna stay a while.

Take note I think this is the friendliest that Rathe has ever looked.  Watch out don’t let him fool you!

Weigh anchor and hoist the mizzen!

Rathe - Fallon - Pirate start

(Click Image to Enlarge)

That’s right.  Pull up the anchor and lets get going.  The Fantasy Collective is less than 24 hours away!  Why is that so important?  Rathe and I love Pirates and that is the theme this go around.  With so many events opening we haven’t seen much blogging for this event.  It scares me that maybe there isn’t anything great, but then I also think maybe everyone is just to busy for the small event.  We are excited and having high hopes that there is a new treasure to be found there.  With all this anticipation we dug into the back of our inventory closets and tossed together our own Pirate outfits which will be our attire when we shop at the event.  Fingers crossed it’s worth the wait, I shall let you all know.

Dark Queen and Her Guard

Rathe + Fallon (Gaurd)

(Click image to Enlarge)

It’s about time for the new season of Game of Thrones so we all have the FEVER!  The Secret Affair starts soon and the theme is ?????????? Game of Thrones!  All the blogs coming out are dropping teasers about our most love and hated characters.  Seriously does anyone want to look like Joffery?  Great outfit by the way.  Fallon and I don’t get the new fashions before an event opens.  We purchase everything we blog so what to do?

Remember our blog was about digging in our closet and finding things that we have and making it work.  This is Fallon in her dark queen outfit and I’m her guard.  Nope we don’t look like the characters but our outfits are definitely a good depiction of that time period we all so love.  It just goes to show you that you can find enough things to make a statement.  Now to get Fallon to show the guard exactly how she wishes him to do his job!

Rathe’s Trained Ost

Rathe + Scye (blog)

(Click Image to Enlarge)

One of the strongest bonds between Rathe and I is the darkness of our minds.  I promised him a very dark and exciting gift one night in role play so my task was at hand.  I wanted to give him something that isn’t your usual gift, something that would complement his enjoyment of risk.  Something he would find a prize possession that he could use to his liking.  I just happen to run upon a man in my travels that had a poison slave, beautiful, great role player, knew her role and followed role play.  I so wish I had saved our role play log to share when I drug her home to him as a gift.  Rathe was so excited that he announced I bought him a “fucking trained ost”.  I still laugh because the lips on Scye will put you to sleep with the most fitful nightmares.  If the kiss deepens death will soon follow.  Rathe of course had to test it.  First he made Scye lick his dagger blade.  Then he went and caught an urt only to rub the blade and watch the animal fall asleep twitching and jerking.  In time it woke and scurried off.  Rathe was not happy with just that no he soon caught a panther and tested it further.  He knocked her out cold with it which only sent excitement raging in him.  His next journey was to find a green that could give him an antidote and something to take to make him immune from her poison.  That now accomplished, he has his trained ost caged when home and leashed when out and about.  Below is Scye Rathe’s trained ost!

Story Board Added

We promised that we would be doing a story board and here it is and it looks great!  The general idea is for us to have a little fun using a set of outfits that we blogged that month with a little story to go along with it.

You can find the story board at the top of the page next to our final artwork link.  We have hopes to put a new story board up monthly.  We hope you like the idea behind this and enjoy it as much as we have.

Highwater Patriarch

BTB Parents

(Click Image to Enlarge)

When Rathe and I started this blog it was about our closet.  We have increasingly found it is far more then fashion.  It allows us to be creative together and to bring our Gorean life to the forefront for all to see.  Today we are very proud to introduce the man at the core of our story and those that are in our family.  Tyr Highwater is not only Rathe’s father but father to his eight brothers and sisters.  With him you will see Liala his Taharian mate and mother to all.  Tyr a man that embraces role-play so creatively has two of his slaves with him.  Lideah his bond and Jewel his southern silk dancer.  As you can see they are all cutting edge fashion but more than that they are the core to our role-play group.

The Highwaters are a traditional BTB role play family.  As you can see there are no horns, wings or hooves.  We had to force Liala to remove her veil.  Tyr is as Torvie as a man can be.  Liala is as southern as would be expected.  Jewel graceful and beautiful and Lideah a boot stomping bold bond.

Hail to all the Highwaters!

Yes yes we promised a storyboard next.  It’s coming………… SOON!

Call of the Wild

United

(Click Image to Enlarge)

Rathe has told me over and over there is just something about a panther.  I have seen men go crazy in Gor trying to catch them, tame them it’s pretty amazing what a bit of the wild brings out in a man.  So panther hunting he went.  Dressed in his favorite outlaw garb he set out for a panther.  It seems to be a favorite pass time of the Highwater men.  Guess the ole Torvie blood always runs hot once they trek into the northern forest.

I’m going to give the first hint of something new we are going to show you soon.  Rathe is going to story board small stories.  We have great expectations and such creative ideas.  I can’t wait to show you and hope you all like it.  Our next blog post will be Capturing a Huntress.

We promised BTB and here you have it.  The Highwater family is northern Torvies so it was time to head to Highwater Hall and visit Rathe’s grandfather Thorin Highwater.  Rathe found one of the most Gorean jackets I have ever seen at one of the most normal men’s store.  Check it out it even has fur.  I got lucky this week with the 25L list and was able to put together a nice modest free woman’s outfit to make the trip.  For those that wear veils it works to.  The small coin purse has been something I have been looking for and found it at The Fantasy Gacha event which by the way will be ending soon.   If you find you’re too late don’t forget about all the Gacha yard sales that will follow the event.  They are already popping up everywhere.
