Eden Jazz

blue Events, LotD

A few weeks ago, Eden announced that our wonderful DJ Jen was going to start doing a regular hour of jazz every Sunday morning starting at 3am SLT.  This is fab news and firstly it’s my Sunday night hehe, and secondly evening wear is being encouraged, which means we have an excuse to pull out the gowns again!

To promote the event, our friend Sarah made a tee-shirt!

It comes in standard mesh sizes, plus fitmesh for Freya, Isis, Venus, Lara, Hourglass, Physique, TMP, Curvy, and Fine.  If you want to pick up the tee-shirt for FREE, wear your Eden tag and come to the event this coming Sunday!  See you there!

  • Jeans: Boyfriend Jeans by COCO
  • Body and feet: Lara by Maitreya

A lot of what you see me post on the blog is free (or costs very little if it’s a hunt prize).  I wrote an entire post on the “Most of this is free” concept.  Unfortunately, some free things come along very rarely, and one that you rarely see is a good set of jeans.  However, as this post shows, sometimes, if you wait long enough, all things come your way 🙂

This outfit includes the top and jeans, and both come in standard mesh sizes with fitmesh for just about every body you can imagine.  The package also includes some platform heels for Slink, Maitreya, and Belleza high feet which are just waaaay too high for me (think 5″ platforms and 10″ heels eeeps!) but you might like them 🙂

The texturing on the top, and especially the jeans is fantastic!  Now I have a set of ripped mid waist to go along with my fav boyfriend jeans!  They’ll surely see lots of use!

Applier clothing sometimes works brilliantly.  Case in point this body suit from Dark Salvation.

The detailing is excellent with the lace, busk, laces, and eyelets.  What a great job!

Let’s not forget the back, with more superb detailing.  The outfit comes on system layers and includes a multi-body applier for Lara, Omega, Brazilia Doll, and Lola Tango.  The platform heels are included, and come in sizes for Slink, Belleza, and Maitreya.

Lacy Red

One of the rules as a redhead is you don’t wear red.  Of course this rule is made to be broken, and one of the best places to do it is in the bedroom 🙂

This stunning little lace babydoll was a midnight mania win from Troy, whose store I hadn’t come across before.  The top and panties are separate, and there are sizes for Lara, Freya, Isis, Venus, Physique, Hourglass, and TMP, plus classic rigged mesh sizes.

The panties have some very minor clipping issues in some poses, but overall, it’s a very nice set of lingerie that will undoubtedly make your partner very happy 🙂

P.S. Thanks to Kat for letting me borrow her boathouse for the photo shoot 🙂

Oh dear, I’m showing a lot of skin in my resent posts.  I’m sorry, but it’s just what SL’s creators throw up to us hunter gatherers 🙂

This little jungle cover is perfect for roleplay if that’s your thing.  It was a gift at the most recent Redeux event.

There’s a size for Maitreya Lara and one that looks to be a one-size-fits-all fitmesh.

Roller Girl

blue LotD

This has been sitting in my inventory unopened for some time while I dithered if I could wear this color top or not.  So, I guess the answer is, yes I can 🙂

The top and skirt are separates.  The skirt has standard mesh sizes and the top has standard sizes plus a one-size-fits-all fitmesh version which works nicely on Lara.

The lace details and the creases are very nicely done!  And included is a bonus MP3 player to wear on your arm!  I’m going to put on my BF Simple Skate HUD and go and do a bit of trail skating 🙂

Here’s a group gift top from Scandalize.  It uses the same mesh as a previous GG, but as it’s nice lace, I don’t mind at all 🙂

The top comes in sizes for Freya, Isis, Venus, Physique, Hourglass, and Lara.

I paired it with a pair of black pants and a ribbon choker, and I think this color hairstyle works really well with this look.

Vamp it up

blue LotD

The SL vampire culture is rather large.  While some people have a lot of fun with it, there can also be really irritating aspects of it for us non-vampires, in particular, Bloodlines.  For the uninitiated, the Bloodlines HUD lets you “bite” people with their consent.  Thank all the powers it asks you for permission!  Unless you’re willing to become party to this thing, just ignore vampire bites (or better yet, ignore them and block the user).  Unsolicited vampire bites are a pain in the butt… umm neck.

Having said that, there are a lot of shops catering to not only the vampire culture, but to the Gothic theme in general.  One in particular is “The Little Bat”.  I really like this store, they have quality things for sale and there is always something good on their Midnight Mania boards and group gifts.

While I’m certainly not involved in Bloodlines, it’s fun to dress up for themed parties, and you can never have enough outfits (at least I can’t lol).  You never know where you will be invited to next in SL, so it pays to be prepared 🙂

This outfit consists of the pants and the top in standard rigged mesh sizes.  It comes with a HUD that lets you set the color theme for each individually.  Also from TLB is the coffin choker I’m wearing, which also comes with a HUD to let you change the color of the coffin.

My hair was a Midnight Mania win, and my makeup and skin were collected over time as lucky letter wins and MM wins.

Having dissed Bloodlines at the start of this post, I used one of their sims as a setting for this photo shoot.  As I said, it can be a little bit of fun.  Just don’t try and bite me 🙂

Evil ways

blue LotD

I’m not so sure what’s so evil about this gorgeous little dress from Entice?  Fall is certainly just around the corner, and I think this is a wonderful design for the season.  I’m actually doing a Farewell Summer event at Eden on Saturday 2-4pm SLT, and the contest will be “Best in Summer Dress”.  I was going to wear another dress, but I might just wear this instead now!

The dress is just standard size mesh, but it works perfectly on my Lara shape, even without an alpha.

The dress also comes with a three texture HUD, and if you like, you can texture the top and skirt separately.

I like the fall colors in the first two pictures, but the purple is very nice too 🙂
