Gothic Penguin Hunters

Amarcord Window Diaries, Volume 10

What’s black & white with red accessories? 

Three international ruby thieves – Karishma, Aleksei & Svetlana.

Just back in the U.S. after a brief fête in London, where the trio of bandits made away with thousands of British Pounds worth of fanciful headgear, the infamous group crossed the pond to hatch their plan of stealing the entire Alexander McQueen collection on display at the MET.

They have been hired by one rather well-known designer who will remain nameless…but who goes by the codename Pierre le Pugh.

A couple of weeks back at the MET Gala opening, our Slovakian burglars decked themselves out in the gear pictured here while they did their initial scouting of the interior layout at the Exhibition. This week they’ve drawn up the plans and are practicing acrobatics to get past security.

Karishma’s Sterling & Lucite bangles feature hidden cameras developed especially for this event to create 3D imaging of the museum floor-plan, including all exits, security cameras, and the second-to-second motion of each security guard. Not to mention detecting each keypad security code with the bangles’ 2QPT radiation technology.

Just in case they’re caught, Svetlana has several small poison-laced darts hidden in her garters, and fingertip pockets hidden in the seams of her red leather racing gloves that can release shots of anthrax for protection against police and competing teams of thieves.

Count Aleksei, beautiful as he may be, is quite useless. He’s mostly there for his muscle. The girls keep him around because he’s nice to look at, but he also serves the purpose of carrying their luggage and boosting them through windows when necessary. The woven metal Jean-Paul Gaultier blazer he’s rocking for the MET Gala was a gift from K & S, who tend to spoil their beloved.
