How do you Dress a 6 foot 9 German who will only wear Pink as a steampunk ? ?

Possibly a bit late.  But one fun, if Orientalist, option would be a Palace Eunuch (who may not really be so!) Harem Guard sort could work well, boarded the ship in Istanbul while on the run after something!

Kiara, he was on the run from the harem because they found out (BAD pun deleted) that he WASN'T really a Eunuch!

There are several tailors on here and on http://www.livinghistory.co.uk/forums/ that could knock the outfit up for you =o) Add some spatts and a Bowler/Derby and Robert is your Mother's Brother.

If he's partial to a bit of uniform I guess take some inspiration from Napoleons army. He had a wide range of various regiments who wore all sorts of colours...pink being one of them. Perhaps a white tunic with pink facings and a dash of gold...gold epaulettes...bit like Lady Gaga or something
 Oh and a tall shako with lots of plumage! Infact...the regiments raised somewhere in Saxony who were allies to Napoleon had such a uniform of white and pink!

 Napoleon III not the stumpy Corsican?

I wonder if Dale (BBBlackdog) is still taking note of these fine suggestions.

I guess we'll find out when they play The Asylum

Blame Rolandson..or was it Cruickshank...the reason why Napoleon I was short and stumpy..oh and his nickname of the Little Corporal us John Bulls gave him...he was actually average size in real life! Rant over haha

 Anyway...just a thought...since hes a tall strapping Gerry...how about the famous Potsdam Giants of Frederick the Great. Freddy's old swine of a father had a big thing for tall men to make up his Potsdam Guard. They did have a Turkish element in their uniforms in the 18th century (not to mention the Jodphurs much later) due to Freddy's father trading men from Turky to match the height requirements to be in the Potsdam Guard....make your man extra tall with a shako or metre cap and play the Hohenfriedburger marching song to compliment this tall pink man of yours or something! Just little drizzles of suggestions chaps

Having now seen you live- he does look very at ease and quite natural in the leg/arm warmers and boa! Maybe some pink bracers may be an answer for the arms... Say hello from me, and tell him he has a wonderful smile!

(the Wilde photo above is great, btw!)

Axels with me now at the computer, Hello from Him and a Hello from Me.
Great Idea, he's looking at Sock and arm braces now, or even mechanical style knee versions to hold them up.
We've just had a photo shoot, I'll post some up soon.
Thanks Dale
