Thread: An open letter to the Tailor community

To whom it may concern:


My name is Ki'ara Malevu, and I am a Ranger. I recently invited my brother Taki'ara out to stay with me on Corellia, to keep a better finger on his political machinations.Needless to say, he was drawn to the politics of Coronet like a Rodian to a bug-zapper. While there for some summit or another recently, he encountered a Twi'lek of some standing who fancied having the latest fashions all the time. To place himself in her good graces (and thus improve his own standing) he took up tailoring. I did not say anything at the time, as tailoring is not in itself good or bad. He would frequently request certain skins and hides for use creating ever more outlandish outfits for his lady. One day he came to me and asked for 400 square inches of hide from lesser dewbacks - the red ones, not the green. I happened to have a bundle of that particular hide stashed away from my last journey on Tatooine, so I gave it to him. He nodded to me, and said 'The Hawt side is with you, I can feel it.' My hands went cold, and my legs threatened to buckle. Was I really hearing this from my own brother? As he left, I was in shock... I had no idea what to do. My own flesh and blood - making and promoting that vile garment, with supplies I had given him no less.


As I've pondered this over the last two days, I've come to a realization. You, the tailoring community at large are the only ones who can fix what you have started. I have garnered the support of my brother Reki'ara and all of his l33t dood PvP buddies, as well as my sister Ik'ara and her stable of animals in saying this: Turn away from your evil ways, stop promoting these vile garments and most of all, stop poisoning innocent minds with your lies and propoganda. You have 24 hours to admit your wrongs and vow to never craft these things again. At the end of that time, all actions deemed necessary will be taken against those not in compliance. Remember, the Rangers, PvPers and even Nature itself is arrayed against you. Do what is right, I implore you.

I'm drawn to my name like bees to honey

yes, I'm a tailor, and I'm addicted to buying really cheap hide from the bazaar, recycling it (I <3 my recycler), and making all kinds of stuff with it, including winged hawtpants (not regular, since those don't take hide.)

now, when was the last time you saw me in hawtpants, and why were you looking?

Does any other profession share such a healthy disfunctional relationship as Tailors do with Rangers?



stop looking at me

Well their activities do give them *amazing* physiques, but they still require HAWTpants to properly clothe themselves. Deep down in their closet, I'm sure every ranger has a pair of HAWTpants even if they are dyed green and brown.


You can read more in Lilo's brief history of HAWTpants: (full-length version available on demand)


HAWTpants were heavily integrated into the Journal of the Whills, but the same vile forces that brought us JarJar and other abominations also decreed that HAWTpants not be spoken of or openly shown in the film depictions of the Star Wars Universe.

Rumor has it that the power of HAWTpants was rediscovered by a tailor and a small group of Entertainer friends shortly after the Battle of Yavin. The power of the HAWTpants became known to Darth Vader and the Emperor who sought to ban the use of HAWTpants throughout the galaxy, leaving only enough for themselves so they alone could harness this awesome power. Unfortunately for the leading Imperials, Rebels and commoners alike have discovered the joys of wearing HAWTpants. Though small uprisings such as RATGWNIWNU have sprung up to try defeating the HAWTpants revolution, the sheer power and HAWTness HAWTpants grant to their users has prevailed. Nothing can stand against them!

So irritated by the growing interest in
HAWTpants, the power that created JarJar required major script revisions, removing any and all references to HAWTpants from the Star Wars films. This included what could have been the most pivitol line in the entire saga, "I cannot teach him. The boy has no HAWTpants." --Yoda, ESB

Other cut lines included:
Welcome, young Skywalker. I have been expecting you. You'll no longer need
HAWTpants. --Palpatine, RotJ
Only your
HAWTpants can destroy me. --Vader, ESB
HAWTpants, Obi-wan Kenobi. HAWTpants are our only hope. --Leia, ANH

What are you going to do to us?! Bug our factories so we can't crate clothing? Nerf BE tissues so they don't make BE clothes? Keep us from making theme park clothing with mods in them?


HA, we tremble not... if SOE hasn't broken us, you don't stand a chance.



(ps: I will endorse any efforts made to get rid of the warm hat)

Dearest sister -


I am deeply honored by the concern you have for me, however misplaced it may be. I must tell you now though, making idle threats over things you simply do not comprehend is not going to help any of us. These wonderful people have taught me more in 2 months than I learned in years from you about thriving in 'polite' society. Perhaps, if you really want to help me, you'll take the effort to wear something more presentable next time you return from Endor. It is really unbecoming for the sister of such an important Bothan to be seen on the front page of the Corellian Times in an outfit stained by two weeks of dirt, rain and who knows what else. If you are really concerned about me, I ask that instead of lashing out at this comunity, you learn what they have to teach. I will not stand by and let you do something incredibly rash in my name.


My deepest regards-

Taki
