Firearms As A Fashion Accessory?
by Dave Maccar
OK, I admit, I didn’t watch the Grammy Awards. Never do, and probably never will. But, if I had, I probably would have noticed this...um...outfit.
Apparently this singer, Sasha Gradiva, is Russia’s answer to Lady Gaga and this bizarre amalgamation of firearms that looks like something out of an Iron Man comic is a statement. What’s it saying?
According to the stylist who designed it: “The concept behind the weapon accessory was to take ALL the weapons and firearms of the world and use them for artistic purposes only. Not for killing. Make couture—not war.”
That’s sweet. So did the “accessory” accomplish its goal of summing up the world’s firearms?
Here’s a little Friday challenge for you. Whoever thinks they can name all the firearms that make up this monstrosity AND gives the best suggestion for what would have made this statement more complete gets a pair of camo Mechanix gloves (size large). I'll be doing the judging.
Fire away. And here are a few more photos so you can get a good look.

I see a Mossberg 500 Pump Shotgun, HK MP5 Sub-machine gun an M4 barrel/flash hider and some random 1913 rails with scope on them.
What Ms. Gradiva needs to complete this get-up is a prosthetic leg made from a Barrett .50 cal barrel.
The upper firearm (on her shoulder) appears to be a GSG-5, the one on her right hand, appears to be some mutilated version of a remington gamemaster. Now the last one (on her back) could be about anything. Although I'm guessing its a ruger 10/22 of some sort. Most likely a charger pistol that has been violated.
Now as to sum up this statement, to me it looks like some imbecile should go to prison for raping these firearms.
I would love to name her guns, how about NUM NUM and SWEEET!
What was the next question?
Can't believe she didn't have a rash of tattoo's....would have fit nicely.
Now that is how to sell guns. Who needs Phil with that kinda marketing?
Of *course* firearms are a "fashion accessory.* DUH! How can you look at a "muzzle loading AR platform rifle" or a "tactical" Model 94 or a $5000 plastic-stocked "custom" rifle which is really just a rebuilt off the shelf rifle or, for that matter, a $100+ dollar knife and contend that these things are "worth every penny" for anything OTHER THAN making a "fashion statement?"
These $100+ dollar knives and weird tricked out craptical firearms and "the latest in 3-D camo" worn by people who hunt animals that can't freaking SEE most of the color spectrum (and for the taking of which camo does nothing for the hunter) are ALL about "making a fashion statement."
Same with big freakin' pickup trucks. Unless you're a contractor hauling bags of concrete, that Ford Super Duty or Chevy Silverado is a FASHION STATEMENT.
Mike, I totally get your point and agree with 95% of it, inspite of it smelling a little like vinegar, but you must conceed that there are a few folks out there with big trucks that aren't contractors but have large boats or trailers that justify the use. Of course, you could say that the boat and 5th Wheel are fashion accessories, too.
Bottom line - use it for what it's made for, regardless of the cost.
Here we go again. I thought we fought that argument already.
Mechanix gloves? Nice!!
I was gonna have a go at naming them guns, then I remembered my hands are nearly 5" across at the knuckles.
Oh well.
Looks to me like she has a pair of .38s.
I'd say her most dangerous weapons are not the accessory guns attached to her gown............
The anti-gun Hollywood elite let her in with this??? I thought it was zero tolerance for that bunch.
Most interestingly, the feed blitz email that blurbed this monstrosity came with a page-wide ad for something called "shoemint.com" featuring a pair of black, six-inch stiletto, platform shoes, the likes of which I do not believe ever graced Cabela's shelves, or (I hope,) Dave's feet. Amazing what content-generated ad sales will produce...
"The anti-gun Hollywood elite let her in with this??? I thought it was zero tolerance for that bunch."
Dunno about zero tolerance, but they do exhibit zero intelligence.
Wonder if they are real guns butchered or plastic mockups?
Zermoid, Is Hollywood anything but plastic mockups?
Last I could tell, most women are armed with double barrel slingshots.
Hyperbole
Visible guns are the GSG-5 or the post HK lawsuit version (GSG-522) and a Remington 7615 (7600 that accepts AR-15 magazines).

Now that I figured out how to get by someones Funk & Wagnall dictionary of Comment may not contain obscene words (HTTP)., this video reminds of this hyperbole
www.youtube.com/watch?v=5JRtq5a2xLo&list=LLrPfxxdjnh2R25U9Fny2M4Q&index=...
What is it if she actually shoots somebody, a wardrobe malfunction?
Havn't got a clue but how about a big who-rah gunny!
You obviously haven't been to the grammys. I dare you to try and take guns away from gangsta rappers.
