Last Week I assisted Holly and Isa on another shoot for Nom De Guerre. As usual, they were stocked with amazing military accessories and I was inspired by their selection of cords and epaulets. I have always been a fan of Nom De Guerre because they make guys look fashionable with out making them look like a pansy haha. This season we shot at an abandoned police precinct all they way in Spanish Harlem. The decrepit precinct was now being used as a storage space for a near by elementary school and looked like something out of Silent Hill! The photographers for the shoot told us they they had shot A list models at the space and were always surprised about their lack of complaints. On our last day of shooting, I was getting ready for another day of steaming, when I noticed that there was a headless pigeon in the middle of our set up! The building manager told us that it must have been the work of a stray cat, but I am sticking with my theory of pigeon eating poltergeists!

These are two tone military boots painted cream
Epaulets
Sorry if you are squeamish, but this was too unbelievable not to include. I tell no lies!
This is what most of the building looked like. I explored a bit, but there was no electricity ,so I was way too chicken to go down to the basement and get shots of the jail cells.

great pics....looks like a amazing shoot
That picture of lots of epaulets cheered me up far more than I should probably say. Also, I love buildings like that! Looks like an amazing shoot...

My dad has this weird obsession with military surplus stores. I think that it's been passed on to me.
I can't wait to see the end result. Those two-tone boots are pretty savvy. Hope you are doing well!

OMG the dead pigeon!!!!
Wowwwww, words escape me (and they often do when you post things like this). I love the whole concept, and all the accessories are so great, I would totally raid that photoshoot for the boots.
The headless pigeon was still alive? They can do that?
