It's an idea that's been rolling around in my head for a little while now, and I'm glad I was able to pull the outfit together so easily. The fur came from my local haberdashery and I cut it into strips and held it to my boots and the cuffs of my sleeves using hair bobby pins. The final touch was using white spray on hair chalk. I was delighted to find the result came out a shade of grey matching the fur. The moulded leather antler crown was a birthday gift from master a while ago. Most of the time it lives on my home altar in the Cernnunos section. I do think I need to reinforce the antlers with some metal wire, as the leathers started to soften. I wanted to do something a little different than just a Santa hat (ohhh she has to be special and different) so I decided to go the pagan route and do a look based on the Holly king from Neopagan mythos. It's an archetype representing winter, and from the autumn equinox to the spring equinox the Holly king rules the year after defeating and subjugating his summer counterpart the Oak king, before the situation flips for the other half of the year. Now, I like this because It's very easily looked at through a kink filter, of two masculine representations taking turns to be dominant and submissive. Alas, I didn't have an oak king to parade around on a leash this year. But there is always next year."
