Woolcott's Millinery and Haberdashery

The Woolcott family has owned and operated their shop for three generations.

The current shop is located at a quiet intersection at the edge of town, and certainly does not have a secret underground passage to any brick outbuildings.

The outlandish rumours about the shop and its proprietors are, of course, only rumours and hearsay.

Mind you, if one were to find oneself on desperate trouble, without hope of rescue or remedy, and if one were to drop a note about said trouble on the floor of the shop ... Well, who knows what might happen?

Entirely by coincidence, of course.

Hats!

Apologies, my dears, this week's Vixens Vendredi is a bit late getting off the ground. But where I am, it is still Friday, at least while I am writing this.

For this week, we get a look at a few of Emma's hat design concepts.

It has been one of those weeks where everything got a little bit away from me. I've been busy with other projects, and trying to find (more) work, and in the meantime trying to make do with what I've got by loading lots of items to my eBay store (www.ebay.com/sch/rockie_squirrel/m.html for those of you keeping score at home.)

I'll try to make sure next week's Vixens Vendredi has a little more substance and polish.

Perhaps starting with the hat decorated with a miniature robot hummingbird.

Until next week, my lovelies.

Philip Woolcott - not just a pretty face

Getting a look at Philip Woolcott, proprietor (on paper) of Woolcott's Millinery, and leader (in the reports) of the Steampunk Vixens.

But he's not just a pretty face with puppy-dog eyes. He's an engineer almost as smart as Kelly, and a sharp-shooter almost as dangerous as Violet.

Emma taught him to play chess when he was little, and he's pretty good at it.

She recruited him to the team when he finished school, and they often work as a team in the field.

They developed a sign language code when they were children, and still use it for secret messages during missions, or to communicate when there's a risk of the bad guys overhearing them.

The plot thickens

Vixens Villain's Vendredi

This week, we get a look at the local leader of Red Sigma. He's the one we see. The actual leaders are a secret cabal that control things from behind the scenes. He commissioned the death ray at their orders, from the scientist that they brought to him.

He's a chess master, and a dangerous swordsman. Elegant, calm, and entirely sociopathic.

Deadly Violet

Getting to know Violet, the newest team member and the most dangerous.

Introducing Vixens Vendredi

On Vixens Vendredi, through the magic of the time-distillation telegraph device invented by Kelly Quinn, you can ask questions directly to the team members --- and they will reply to you.

Off hiatus

Had to put this one on the back burner for a while due to other projects and life in general. These things always take longer than you think they're going to.

In the meantime, I've been figuring out a bunch of back story and making plans. Not much interesting to see, but this project is still alive in case anyone is wondering.
