In dreams, we wallow

I have a confession to make. I don't shop on the marketplace very often. I'm usually only there to look up a specific item or to update my own store. It's sad, I know. But honestly, I just prefer to shop inworld. I like happening on the oddest shit in the middle of Unexpected.
Coming from a site where catalog shopping was the only thing available, I suppose I find it nice to have other options.
Anywho. I was up until after five a.m. at the 24 thing so that I could get a hair I wanted. Only the shop with it wasn't open, yet. I went to bed all bummed about it and dreamed that I was back at the event, mowing over a ton of avatars to get to the hair, which I managed to snag just before the limited edition sold out. I headed back to the place when I woke up and *happy dance* it was there, so I grabbed it before it was all gone.
That's not the purpose of this post, however. The purpose got sidetracked by my rambling. It happens.
300 is one of my all time favorite movies. I can watch it and restart it and watch it again. I've done that a lot. So when a friend showed up wearing an awesome Greek helmet, I did swoon a little, I admit. She was a darling and got it for me, which had me heading to the (usually neglected by me) marketplace to search out other bits and pieces. Sadly, I didn't find too much of what I was wanting by way of a complete, already put together, badass Spartan costume, but I did do some finagling  with some stuff I already owned and picked up another helmet. I was going to get a spear/sword/shield set, but weapon stuff is usually script heavy and as I was wanting the stuff only for visual appeal, I went without.
So rather than molest our new sim with my naked avi, I did it dressed like this:

I believe our land was happier for it.
I had to change the color of the boots manually, because the tone didn't quite fit with the rest of the oufit, but that was easy enough. It was odd wearing sculpty clothes after wearing mesh for the greater part. But it gave this particular costume the affect that I wanted and while I might still get killed on the battlefield, at least I'll be hot fail jumping at every corner :D
