She ain't no Peaky Blinder!

You might have realised that I'm more than a little homesick, and it's making me think back to my family past and present... I've had some very interestingly, colourful characters in my family tree, including a prostitute from London that was alive and working when Jack the Ripper was around, a Bishop of London and even a designer of a well-known memorial momument in Belgium... 
Yet now I'm thinking of my Dad's father and his brothers.. They were a group of 10 and were lads in London, and although they weren't around as early as the 1920's, pictures of them definitely made me think of the Peaky Blinders... 

Of course, one thought led to another, and I'm instantly feeling like I need to re-create something a little 1920's Peaky Blinderish... As my puppy - a German Shepherd Pup from Foxwood at Kustom9 - and I wandered through the streets of Old London - the Victorian London level of the Time Portal - I started to blame my sudden desire for a Peaky Blinder moment on the pictures, but also the amazing new hat and hair that I'd recently treated myself to...

Walking Down the Row

I've been watching TV a lot while we've been stuck on lock-down and one of the shows that I really loved was the Orlando Bloom/Cara Delevigne fantasy series "Carnival Row". I love the mixture of fairytale, steampunk and mystery. 
I was shopping at Engine Room... It seemed to draw my mind into all kinds of different fantasy situations, many of which involved me wandering down the 'row'... I'm a Doctor, I'm on a mission, and I'm trying to figure out who is behind the murders taking place... 
Following in the footsteps of my father - more than anything because my Dad, Chopper, bought me this amazing outfit from tokisk at Engine Room - as I wandered though the Time Portal that is Victorian London. Decked out with some other Doctors accessories, the coroner wanders through the darkened streets hiding under her parasol to avoid the ashes that pour out onto the streets from the smoking train above. 

What is she wearing;
Parasol: ANTINATURAL - Doctor Crow  Gacha Item in Umbrella 
Halo: Cubic Cherry - Feathered Halo in GOLD 
Hat & Hair: TRUTH - Asuka in Reds
