Another outfit found under the Maitreya Gifts, Sales & News group’s tree, this bodysuit comes with system layers and Maitreya and Omega appliers (and maybe a couple more that I deleted?) It seems as everyone is slowly adopting Omega anyway, so that’s the one I’m always looking for. Even the latest Slink releases support Omega. I think the only holdout is The Mesh Project. Stop blathering Blue and get on with the pics 🙂
What better for the New Year than an elegant offering from Dressed by Lexi. Lexi features some of the most amazing gowns that I’ve found in SL, and at fantastic prices. Today I’ve got Lexi’s January Group Gift to show you, the golden Midnight Kiss. The dress features a tantalising cutout from shoulder to hip, sliding into a slit up the left leg. It’s wonderfully sultry!
Midnight Kiss comes in the standard five mesh sizes. You’ve likely heard me comment before about trying to dance in mesh gowns: they don’t move right, and it’s often painful to watch. Mind you, I’m not sure what to do in such a gown, typically, other than pose for pictures! Lexi has solved this by including two prim pieces with this gown, one for each leg. This gives the gown a lovely flowy appearance and feel, and makes it perfect for dancing.
A necklace would have been too much, I think, given the tight strap at the shoulder. I’ve complemented this outfit with some fire-opal earrings trimmed in gold from Evelock. I’m typically a fan of blue-green opal, but the fire opal is just right for this gown.
Lexi offers several other shades for this gown, and for the month of January they’re all on reduced pricing. I’m going to go and take advantage of that, the Sapphire shade is brilliant, and I can’t wait to get my hands on it!
But spring is on its way! This mesh dress was an MM prize from Darling Rentals, and comes in standard fitmesh sizing, plus fitmeshes for Maitreya, Belleza, and Slink.
I mentioned these sandals in my previous post, but realized they weren’t very visible. They are by Like Design, and if you are not a group member, well, you should be! They do some wonderful essential shoes for Slink that go with nearly anything. They are usually available in store on Lucky Letter boards or Midnight Mania boards, and sometimes have been available as SLF&O group gifts. I recommend checking them out!
And lastly I’m wearing a necklace that I got as an old group gift from Pixel Box Designs. However, it’s still available in store for purchase at the nice low price of L$50. The black steampunk theme sets the dress off nicely 🙂
Aeon: I’m all to aware what a new year is. We’ve made one more trip around the Sun, starting from an arbitrary point and crossing over that point again. Full circle, right? Only it’s not ‘back where we started’… The Sun orbits the Galactic Centre once every 230 million years or so, making for one heck of a cosmic Spirograph. So here we are, back at this arbitrary point, back again at the turning of the year, back full circle, but someplace new, too. We’ve seen so much this past year, so many adventures, so many things shared – and back again. I can’t help but feel so happy for all of it, the good and the bad… overjoyed for every moment with Blue, and our friends, and all of you. Thank you for joining us in this little adventure.
I wish you all peace this coming year, peace to all of us. I wish you a year of family and friends and new stories to tell. Hau’oli Makahiki Hou!
Blue: Happy New Year! Sitting here watching the fireworks with Aeon, I can’t help but reflect on all the wonderful memories we’ve made together over the last 12 months. We’ve built things together learning as we go; danced and celebrated our birthdays and those of our friends; we’ve had wonderful times exploring and sailing some wonderful land and seascapes; we’ve cried with our friends at Eden at the passing of one of the regulars; Aeon and I celebrated our first wedding anniversary; so many shared experiences! And looking forward, so much more to do, so much more to learn and discover!
I hope the new year brings to you and your family and friends a wonderful time, with love, peace, and happiness, and that all your dreams and goals are fulfilled!
