Snow play

blue LotD

A group gift of some snow pants, plus watching the Winter Olympics, has inspired me to go and learn to snowboard 😉

And if you believe that, I’m sure I have a bridge that you can purchase for a bargain basement price somewhere!  In reality, I knew I had the snowboard pants, which are fitmesh and come in sizes for Lara, Freya, Isis, Venus, Physique, and Hourglass, but I didn’t know if I had anything else to go with them.  I said to someone that I’d try and do a shoot with them, and that I may have a padded jacket somewhere, but that a pair of pants were not going to make a post by themselves.

So I went looking in my inventory.  To my surprise, I didn’t find the original padded jacket I thought I had (I may have deleted it, it was just standard sized mesh), but I did find this skully hooded jacket, which is perfect!  It’s also fitmesh with specific sizes for classic, Lara, Freya, Isis, Venus, eBody, Hourglass, Physique, TMP, Ocacin, Curvy, and Fine.  It also comes with a HUD that allows you to select the color/of the skulls, and a shirt under the jacket.  Which you can also make invisible, which is exactly what I did as I also wanted to wear another turtleneck top and bra you can see in the pics.

The bra/top comes in sizes for Lara, Venus, Isis, Freya, Physique, and Hourglass.  There are three pieces in the pack: a wear alone bra, and “wear under the turtleneck” bra, and the turtleneck top itself.

Because the bra/top is fitmesh, I wore the Lara size, and I wore the jacket in classic large fitmesh.  It all layered really well!

This little outfit is called a “dress” in the product name, but I can’t see it as anything other than a nightdress.

Despite the tiny thin straps, this is actually fitmesh, even though at first glance you might think it’s applier.  It comes in sizes for Lara, Freya, Isis, Venus, Hourglass, Physique, and TMP.  Also included in the pack is a 15 color HUD to choose what pastel shade to wear!

The outfit is high cut both back and front, and has semi-sheer side panels.  The little bow touches at the front are super cute.

Night Sky

blue LotD

Hello there gentle reader!  Today I’m showing you a group gift from back around Halloween last year.   I’ve just come across it while rummaging in my messy inventory 🙂

The gown is called “Night Sky”, so I thought I’d find a suitable place to show it off, and found this planetarium.  The gown has a one-size-fits-all fitmesh for classic avatars, and body specific fitmesh for Freya, Isis, Venus, Lara, Physique, and Hourglass.  It also includes the Bento enabled gloves for the same mesh body sizes.  And it includes the earrings and necklace!  A very generous group gift!

Because the gown is materials enabled, it appears bright in the above photos, but I thought I’d use the other part of the location to show you what it looks like under different lighting.  Its character changes completely!  A really nice outfit from Ghee!

Applesauce

Today I have a final (perhaps!) Valentine’s Day gift to show you.  This lingerie is a group gift from Vinyl, and Vinyl’s group is FREE to join!

The lingerie is separate top and bottom, and has sizes for Freya, Isis, Venus, Lara, Physique, and Hourglass.

There are two styles in the pack, the “Rose” version above, and the “Love” version below.

Both versions are the same mesh, which is nicely done with no clipping issues.  I particularly like the Rose version.  A lovely gift for VDay 🙂

Pride… and panties

blue LotD

LOL did I really call this post that?  Well, I’m trying to clean up a lot of my unopened things, and these two items were literally sitting next to each other in one of my unopened folders, so you get both 🙂

The t-shirt is an old group gift from Baby Monkey, and comes on system layers plus appliers for Omega, Maitreya, Belleza, and Slink.  There are five textures, all on a black background, all eye-catching 🙂

The panties are fitmesh for Lara, Freya, Isis, Venus, Physique, and Hourglass.  They come with a ten color HUD and are pretty well rigged, although I did notice some clipping at the hip while looking for a pose.

That’s A Wrap

blue LotD

A friend gave me this as a gift.  Very generous of them!  I did have a similar outfit in applier, but wow this is fitmesh!

The outfit comes with fitmesh sizes for Maitreya Lara and Slink Physique for all the pieces.  There are two color options (red and dark red, which I’m wearing) and multiple options regarding length of arm and leg wraps, single top and bottom, and a full on piece for the body.  Lots of options here for playing with RLV too, come to think of it 😉

As you would expect from Caverna Obscura, the mesh, rigging, and texturing are very well done.  I think I’ll be wearing this on Valentine’s Day!

The Shop Your Heart Out event is on at the moment, and being close to Valentine’s Day, the event is celebrating that theme.   There are lots of FREE gifties to be found, so if you can get into the sim, you can pick up some really nice things!

I’m showing off three gifts from the event today.  Firstly, the ruched dress from Erratic.  Erratic is one of the more expensive designers in SL.  I love some of their clothing, but it’s priced so steeply, I can’t justify buying too much (for example, at the event is a really nice set of lingerie, with each piece sold separately.  To buy the entire set, you’re looking at over L$1000.  And that’s discounted!  Yipes.)  So when the chance comes to get a gift from them, I grab it 🙂

The dress is only for Maitreya Lara.  And of course, being this pink, I had to forgo my normal redheadedness.  Fortunately, a gift from the event came to the rescue!  This hairstyle is from Magika, and is only in this color, but it’s perfect for this outfit!

And finally I added a choker from Rebel Hope.  It has fitmesh sized for Lara, Belleza, and Physique, as well as an eight color HUD, four for the choker, and four for the metal.  It’s not often I can make up an outfit from three designers at a single event, but I did it today!

Gothic Webs

I’m not sure where I found this amazing gothic styled dress.  I usually categorize unopened things in folders so I know where they came from, but this was loose in my main objects folder!

Wherever it came from, the texturing is amazing!  You are sure to turn heads wearing this.  Sizing is only standard rigged mesh, but as you can see, it works beautifully on Lara.

A shout out to Nephilim for the skin I’m wearing too.  If you find yourself in need of a fantasy skin in various colors, you can’t go wrong here.  They have 12 fantasy skins for both male and female avatars, and they are L$1 each!  They even include appliers for Belleza, EVE, Slink, Lara, and Omega, as well as head appliers for Catwa, LAQ, Slink, Omega, and EVE.  What a bargain!

This is a wonderful little group gift currently available from Sexy Princess.  Their group is FREE to join!

The dress and belt are one piece, and it comes in fitmesh sizes for Classic (one size fits all), Lara, Freya, Isis, Venus, Hourglass, Physique, and Curvy.

It’s very “cheeky” at the back and you will for sure need to wear a thong or something with it 🙂

Leather and ummm…

blue LotD

Net, like fishnet size, is hardly going to protect my modesty!  Oh well, I’m a professional, I can handle the exposure, pun intended 😉

This mini dress is by Ghee, and the rigging is superb.  I didn’t notice any clipping even in extreme poses, as given the nature of this dress, it would be really difficult to wear any alpha cuts with it at all.  As a matter of fact, there are sizes for classic avatars, and a note from Ghee as to why there is no alpha included for them.

Other than the classic sizes, there is the usual range of body specific fitmesh, including Lara, Freya, Isis, Venus, Hourglass, Physique, and TMP.

I might wear this to Eden, but I won’t be walking around the streets in it 🙂
