Big cat meow

blue LotD

I’ve always liked furry avatars, and I have just a few.  However, some furry avis, including the Kemono which I really love, are a bit limited when it comes to clothing, so the solution seems to be to build one on a popular mesh body.  And here we are!

This look, based on Lara, is achieved with three mod kits: the Cerberus Felis Bento Head, the Furry Hand Paw kit from Catseye, and the SKS Snow Leopard Tawny kit.  Let’s see if I can describe some of their features for you.

The head is full bento, and for these photos I’ve taken the example head settings, which are included in the pack, and replaced the settings in my normal Lara shape.  Undoubtedly, I will fiddle with them over time to find something that’s uniquely mine.  The head kit comes with the ears and a comprehensive HUD that’s packed with expressions, and customizable settings for eye color and dilation, and other expression overrrides.  The pack also includes links to the PSD files for the UV and a dummy mesh model for rigging your own mesh accessories, and also includes an applier kit so you can sell creations of your own for things like skins and makeup.

The creator specifically mentions that the head was made with mesh hair in mind, and as you can see, right out of the box, I found a perfect fit with some hair from enVogue.

The paw kit from Catseye is really wonderful, I’m surprised I didn’t know about it before.  It takes Omega appliers without the need for a relay, and is compatible with any mesh body that will accept Slink hands.  The fit is pretty seamless with my settings!  Just like the head, the paws are full Bento, and a mod kit, tinting HUD, and custom applier are all included.  There’s even a set of mesh gloves!

Lastly, the skin from SKS has three female options, PG, Mature, and Adult.  There are also two male skins in the pack.  Also included are the legs rigged for Lara, Physique, and Hourglass, plus a whole bunch of textures and appliers for four more heads if the Felis is not to your liking.  Plus two tails, plus a texture applier for my Catseye bento tail, plus eyeshadow, plus, plus, plus!  The only tiny niggle is the neck extension is static, but you’d hardly notice.

All three products combine wonderfully, and with the addition of a hairstyle and my bento feline tail, produce a fantastic look.

Well done to all three creators!

Today I’m wearing the latest group gift from Scandalize.  The group is FREE to join!

This gift is another collaboration between Scandalize and LSR (for the matching boots), but I’m not a member of LSR, they are L$99 to join, and I don’t have a free group slot lol

The top and panties come in two textures, “Constellation” and “Stars” and are separates.  Both are sized for Lara, Freya, Isis, Hourglass, and Legacy.

Blueberry puffer

blue LotD

This is the newest group gift at Blueberry, and the group is FREE to join.  A puffer jacket at the beginning of Spring?  Just as well you can wear the dress by itself 🙂

There are two items in pack, the jacket, dress, and panties all as one piece, and the dress and panties as one piece.  Both pieces are sized for Lara, Freya, Venus, Isis, Hourglass, and Physique.

There’s a massive HUD with nearly 40 colors for the fabrics, 10 different metals, lace and opaque panty options, and wear and hide buttons for the dress and panties.  Another most generous gift from Blueberry!

Today, I have the new group gift from Prism Design to show you.  The Prism Design group is FREE to join.

This is a very cute and simple dress in some bold colors!  The dress is sized for Lara, Hourglass, Physique, Venus, Isis, and Freya.  It comes with a six color HUD to color the main fabric of the dress.

Big floral

blue LotD

Hello lovelies, I have a nice dress to show you today, a FREE gift for members of the teleporthub.com group.  As I’ve told you before, the group is a tiny L$10 to join, and gives you access to lots of FREE gifts from creators all over the grid!

The dress is sized for Lara, Freya, Venus, Isis, Physique, Hourglass, and TMP.  It comes with a HUD to let you select from two colors, this brown, and mauve.  The HUD also lets you control transparency, from fully opaque to completely transparent.  And you can play with glow settings too, if that’s what you like.

As it’s Spring, I though adding a touch of transparency would be nice, so I layered a lingerie set underneath for that sexy, gauzy, carefree look.

Flora

blue LotD

I know Spring has surely sprung when I start seeing rompers lol.  This pretty floral one is a FREE gift from Sexy Princess for members of the teleporthub.com group.  The group is a tiny L$10 to join.

Sizes include Lara, Freya, Isis, Venus, Hourglass, Physique, Curvy, Fine, and standard sizes for classic avatars.

One sleeve

blue Events, LotD

Another event happening at the moment is the Welcome Spring 35L Sales event.  There are a number of FREE gifts available, including this gown, just for joining the FREE group.

I mentioned just the other day that even  more detail in mesh could help realism in clothes, if done carefully to keep complexity low, and now we see another good example of it.  The fold details on this are stunning for a total complexity of only 2,318 for the gown.

The gown is sized for Lara, Freya, Isis, Venus, Hourglass, Physique, and Legacy.

Dubai event

blue Events, LotD

The Dubai Event is on at the moment and runs until the 10th of April.  There are a few gifts available by joining the FREE group event.

Both this hairstyle and bodysuit are available at the event.  The hair is a black and white set (nine tones), and ohh I’m sort of itching to run to the store and buy the red version of this!  Short bobs like this are perfect for fashion photography, as nothing gets in the way of showing off the clothes.

There are two sizes, and because it’s not rigged, it’s resizable via the HUD.  The pack also includes hair bases on system layers, and appliers for Omega, LeLutka, and Catwa.

The bodysuit comes in this green and a more lime green color.  You can color the sleeves separately.  It’s sized for Lara, Freya, Isis, Hourglass, Legacy, and Alice.  It has a little clipping issue around the front neckline, but should be fine in most normal poses.

Mermaid silk

blue LotD

Hello sweets, here’s a nice gown FREE for members of FabFree group.

It’s sized for Lara only, and like most mesh gowns, it’s a little too rigged to dance well, but it’s lovely for making an entrance somewhere!

The pattern is very eye-catching.  If it had been materials enabled, it would have been stunning rather than just gorgeous 🙂

Monique

blue LotD

This is the third and last hunt item from Safira’s in-store mini hunt.  Like the last two outfits, it comes in both a plain and floral version.  Today you get the floral pattern because daisies are Aeon’s favorite flower 🙂

The dress is sized for Lara, Freya, Isis, Hourglass, and Legacy.  It comes with a multi-color HUD to let you change the color and pattern of the stripes and bow.   Another nice gift from Safira, and a fun hunt to boot!
