When The Amish Go Bad
These are the quite possibly the most awesome mugshots ever to exist
The eight members of an Amish sect who were ordered jailed by a Kentucky judge after they refused to pay fines for failing to affix orange safety triangles to their horse-drawn buggies.
The men, who were booked Monday night into the Graves County jail, refused to pay the fines on grounds that their religion bars them from wearing or displaying bright colors. Jailed for misdemeanor contempt of court, the inmates were provided dark-colored jumpsuits in place of the standard issue orange coveralls.
The defendants were hit with a range of time in the county lockup (between three and 10 days) by District Court Judge Deborah Hawkins Crook.

Steampunk Couture by Kato
My name is Kato. ("Kay-toe")
I was born and raised in Wales, UK, and emigrated to California in 2007.
I've been drawing and illustrating since I could hold a pencil and began designing clothing when I was about eleven years old but wasn't satisfied that I was worthy of the title "clothing designer" until I'd wrapped my head around the complexities of the sewing machine in my early twenties.
I decided to house my designs under the name SteampunkCouture in May 2005 after a friend introduced me to the term "steampunk" when describing the way I dressed and my style of illustration. Since I began offering custom clothing to people, I've designed and created litterally thousands of items of clothing and accessories which has been the most amazing form of self-teaching
