Fire. The element that dances. Even when ancient man captured the first flame, it retained its trappings of fear and awe. The dynamic essence has twirled throughout the human psyche and tangoed with myths. One of its legendary partners is readily recognizable across the globe – the dragon – and both can bend and twist in a myriad of ways.

And what better to trap both in than the flowing frock of Laughing Academy, Candace Aflame?

On a recent trip, I decided, I'm a 'water' person. Gosh I love water. It's pretty much all I drink, but this isn't about that. I'm lucky enough to live by the sea, and I adore that. It's wonderful to just be able to go there, and stare at the waves, if it's nice day, the water's a stunning azure colour, and if it's cloudy, it's a mystical greeny grey, the sound is so calming and yet exciting, and just...yay, the sea. I assumed, of course, my heart just belonged to the ocean, having lived by it almost all my life, but a trip inland took me variously meandering along and beside a large river, on assorted trains, and I was equally entranced by it, the reflections, the bridges, the buildings standing proudly along it's banks, the way it was an obstacle and an enhancement and a route and a beautiful, beautiful thing. But for all my adoration of all things wet (lakes are pretty neat too), the ancient Egyptians revered their primary source of fresh water more highly than I ever could.

So today I'm presenting to you the “Requiem” set by Kavar Cleanslate of Exile. It comes with a myriad of options. And common sense tells me that I should first display the hooded, Vampy ones. But truth be told I really wanted to splay myself across the feeds lying sexily on a piano. Just be thankful no one was around to watch me sing “Total Control” and flash my cleavage as I writhed against the lacquered  top.
