In May of 2006, or roughly thereabouts, two young women came together with a plan for world domination and global conquest by means of the cunning use of flags. Unfortunately, flags as a means of conquest hasn’t really worked since Great Britain conquered India, and even then less than judicious use of violence had to be involved.
Not really being fond of guns (with the quiet exception of ray-guns), the two thought that perhaps a better plan might involve charming the hearts and stealing the secrets of everyone they encountered. They immediately began work on the project, using their skills and powers in the ancient art of bellydance to put together the most fantastic raks sharqi show that Kansas City had ever seen.
The plan worked a little too well. Early in 2007 they realized that in order to conquer Kansas City (and later the world) they would need back-up. Good solid backup. The kind of backup that would pick you up when you were down, come to your aid when you were in trouble, and help formulate the kind of hair-brained schemes they would need in the their quest for world domination.
After a host of disasters including plague, flood and a well-spring of stupid ex-boyfriends, they succeeded in recruiting four young ladies who are currently undergoing training in the fine arts of espionage, deception and ARTS (American Revival Tribal Style).
In short, we are an espionage inspired steampunk / tribal / eastern / industrial / organic amalgamation of mechanical snakeyness and old-fashioned beauty. We aspire to inspire...and maybe break your heart in the process. Think Mata Hari, James Bond, the Red Baron, and a touch of insanity brought on by sorrow, heartache, and an addiction to movement.
