Oleg, 26

“I am wearing a 1920s (?) dress that I hand dyed from a spoiled olive color to this berry shade, an 80s handbag from Beacons Closet, and vintage reproduction shoes (if only I could fit into antique heels!). I have been wearing shades of red exclusively for a year now; it’s been the best sartorial challenge as I can no longer rely on color blocking to make an outfit. Instead it’s about the different shades of red (which there are many), silhouette, texture, etc. As always, the early 20th century has been my main inspiration, with my current obsession being drop waist cuts. Ugh, to be a flâneuse in 1920s Berlin! ”

#had these guys since i was 15. sinclair is like the proto-[insert literally any of my modern characters here]#had to remake sinclair entirely. i have never been able to make him look right. until now crowd cheers #to be fair he doesn't look like his cc preview self bc he's got 2 different designs #when he's got the long hair and he's chunkier that's after a time jump in this dumb ass extremely 2018 story #but that's him in the beginning. this is like. a fantasy world based on the 1920s new york #and he's a gang leader (yeah i KNOW. I KNOW. i never change) who deals in dark magic or something i barely remember the details tbh #and the other one is calvin his dad is like. a cult leader? he's basically like locked in a tower his whole life that sort of thing #and they're magical but calvin can't control his and he accidentally kills someone with it #and his estranged sister who's a part of this gang gets him a job at their like speakeasy in exchange for covering it up #anyway pinterest heads know the exact face claim i used for him everyone uses the face claim but NO. he's the MOST that face claim #it's DIFFERENT #sinclair's face claim is that sexy joker cosplay guy. anyway #ts4 #ts4 edit #ts4 cas #the sims 4
