Hello lovelies!  Today I’m wearing a fantastic little dress that was a win on an MM board at Entice.  And to go with it, I have this lovely new hairstyle from Alice Project!

The dress is in standard sizes and has specific sizes for Slink, Maitreya, and a single size for classic avis.  The detailing on this is very nice, particularly the folds in the material, and the half undone zipper at the back 🙂

On the same day I got the dress, I was lucky enough to get this hairstyle from the Alice Project MM.  It’s got a 15 colour HUD for basic colours, and you can streak it too (this is the standard HUD that AP releases with their hairs).

I really like the carefully done texture on this hairstyle and how it seems to have some natural highlighting.  It looks great!

Some nice new things to show you today!

The mesh for this dress is unremarkable being very similar to other dresses I have, but the texturing is really well done, with some fantastic materials texturing to make it glitter nicely.  It really highlights where the dress is folded.  As it’s fitmesh (versions for *takes deep breath* Belleza Freya, Isis, Venus, Ebody, Maitreya, Slink Physique, Hourglass, Tonic Curvy, Fine, and TMP) it moves and shimmers really nicely!  FAC has done a great job, and to top it off, have included a six color HUD with it too!

Next, while I’ve had this hairstyle for some time (wow over a year!), I’m not sure I’ve ever worn it before for a photo shoot.  It’s rigged mesh and has a seven color HUD.  This is the only red in there, but it’s sort of close to my color 🙂

And lastly, we have this beautiful little hearts necklace from BlackRose.  This was a Valentine’s Day gift for their group members, but it was still available in store a couple of days ago.

Every so often I go though my outfits looking to firstly update my look, and secondly to dispose of anything that really isn’t me any more.  In just the last couple of years that I’ve been in SL, there have been some amazing changes, the biggest of which to me are fitmesh and Bento (see the Bento Wings post in case you missed it!)

As I was slowly making my way through my outfits, I came across this wonderful little mesh dress which I’d completely forgotten about.  It’s not fitmesh, but it is in the standard sizings, and the small works perfectly on Lara with my shape!

In addition to the pastel green shown here, the dress comes with a HUD to change the color to seven other pastel shades.  Or you can opt to paint it black, as the Rolling Stones once said.

This is a nice materials enabled dress from Paisley Daisy.  It comes in fitted mesh for standard sizes with specific fitmesh for Belleza, Maitreya, and Slink, and is a group gift.  Paisley Daisy is L$100 to join.

I really like the rounded neckline on this as it gives me an opportunity to show off my emeralds that were a gift from Aeon.  She spoils me sometimes!  There are matching earrings too, which you can just see in the picture below.

I’ve said it before, you can be anything you want in SL 🙂  Here’s an MM win from Abyss Designs, a new store to me that was bought to my attention by talk (frenzy actually) in SLF&O group chat.

For some reason, the people in group chat were not revealing where this was, and I didn’t find it for a couple of days.  Abyss Designs is a FREE group, so you too could slap these boards and grab a complete avi like this!

I’m continuously amazed by how creative people are for SL.  The detail on this wolf is amazing, and it comes with an AO that makes you walk properly on all fours!  Check it out (and the other two amazing avis on the boards at the moment!)

A cool fitmesh dress for Lara only, and chunky belt and matching bracelets from Scandalize!  The belt and bracelets incorporate Scandalize’s logo.

The dress and belt is all one piece, but the belt comes in an unrigged version so you can wear it with something else.

As we’ve come to expect from Scandalize, the fitmesh for Lara is excellent.

 

Scavenger

Out lovely friend Frani returns for a photo shoot to show off a wonderful outfit called “Scavenger”!

Similar to the first time Frani modeled for us, she’s chosen to show off an outfit that’s only available in a gacha at Moon Elixer’s main store.  There are three fitmesh sizes in the gacha: Maitreya Lara, Slink Physique, and Slink Hourglass.  The gacha is L$75 a go, so either have deep pockets or be prepared to do swaps to get what you need 🙂

After I showed you Bento rigged wings yesterday, Frani showing another direction creators are taking with Bento by wearing one of the new Bento enabled mesh heads from Letluka.  These are rather amazing as they respond to the shape sliders.  You can get an extremely custom look with these.

So far, I’ve only played with a couple of demo heads.  I’m rather attached to the way I look, and while I’d love a mesh head for better photos (in particular, eyelashes) I am still adopting a wait and see attitude.

Bento Wings

blue Gadgets, LotD

There are already a few Bento rigged wings on the market, but I’m pretty sure these ones from Atomic are the best at the moment!  The ad says they’re designed for male avis, but even though I’m short (1.85 metres/6 foot and a smidge) they work just fine for me.  Please try the demo!

The wings come with an animation overrider that animates the wings.  There are nine stands, three sits, a walk, and as you can imagine, flying anims, including hover, fly, fly down, and so on.  Most of the animations are quite impressive!  For convenience, the creator has also included the animations in a separate box.

The wings are always in motion, so wearing them to a dance party will certainly attract attention to your avi!

In addition to the AO, there’s also a texture change HUD for the wings, allowing you to select from eleven different colored textures so you can match your look.  The one I’m wearing here are the whitest.  Don’t expect pure white angel wings with these.  There is a dark texture (nearly black/gray) but this the lightest one, and the different colors in the texture HUD just change the top of the wings.  The primary wing feathers stay this dark for each texture.

My only minor problem with these is there is no way to stop the wings in a motionless folded state.  If they had this, they’d be perfect!

Bento is very exciting, and opens up another whole bunch of creative channels for designers.  I can’t wait to see what happens next!
