Diva Iris

blue LotD

Diva is celebrating their 6th anniversary is SL with this lovely gown and hair free gift for group members!  Congratulations Marisa!

The gown is in standard rigged mesh, and the texturing is very very nice.  Being full mesh it’s not wonderful for dancing or large movements, but it looks lovely walking.  The addition of a flexi overskirt adds a little swish.

The hair is umm what can I say?  Super?  Great?  Fantastic?  This is just one look.  There are multiple parts to this, and I will do a post on it so I can show you all the looks available with just one hair when the creator designs cleverly as Diva has!  Oh and did I mention it has a fatpack texture change for thirteen colors and options?  Wow, it surely deserves a post of its own!

Alisha shorts

I tend to keep things sorted into full outfits in my inventory.  I’m not too great at mix and match as I can much better remember an outfit rather than a single piece of clothing.  I dutifully file separates away if they’re good, and sometimes I’ll go though them when I’m looking for something different to wear.  That was the case with these mesh shorts.

The package contains standard sizes in rigged mesh, plus fitmesh for Freya, Isis, Venus, Hourglass, Physique, Lara, Curvy, and TMP.  It also have a great little HUD which allows you to change the fabric texture, the belt and buckle colors, and the belt loops.

The detailing is quite nice.  While this is Lara fitmesh, there are some little breakthrough issues along the lower hem.  I’ve done minor retouches to these pics, but I suspect you could easily tweak your shape to get things just right.

Racing!

I was exploring the other day and clicked on a free gift offer and was amazed to receive a working go kart!

Cars and planes go a little fast for me in SL 🙂  Sailing is more my speed.  But they sure make wonderful photo props!

Having said that, I did drive around the track after I’d finished the photo shoot 🙂  Just like my Porsche, the go kart is radically fast and has massive oversteer hehe, but it’s sure a bit of fun!

 

 

Summer of Love

I know it’s not summer yet, but I was wearing this outfit today, so I thought I’d photograph it for you 🙂

The deco is for a jungle themed party, and I couldn’t resist posing with my leopard friend here!

The dress is just in standard sizes but works well on Lara.

Another dress that’s been hiding in my unopened folder, this one’s by Rowena Springflower.

It comes in standard sizes, fitmesh for classic sizes, and specific fitmesh sizes for Maitreya, Belleza, and Slink Physique.  While this is fitmesh for Lara, there are a few breakthrough issues that are really difficult to deal with on the Maitreya HUD due to the neckline.  One of the classic sizes in fitmesh maybe better (and of course you could tweak your shape to deal with it too).

The absolutely fantastic necklace is included, and there is a six color HUD for the dress and the necklace.

Here’s some old tech for you that still holds up surprisingly well.

Before the explosion of fitmesh probably about 18 months ago, one of the better ways of doing a dress was with a mesh panel to provide the illusion of a dress either over system layers, or in this case, appliers.  I’ve never really liked the look of the panels because as they are rigged you can’t adjust them, and if the designer doesn’t get them just right, they can look terrible.

Then again, when the designer does a good job as is the case here, and adds some flexi prim skirts too, you can end up with a great effect.  The detail on the applier top is just fantastic in this case, and the mesh panel joins are mostly hidden (or you are distracted from seeing them) by the flexi skirts.

Some simple sandals and my fav long hair completes the look.  Simple, effective, great!

Black widow

This little outfit was from last year’s Boho Fair.

There are a whole bunch of fits in the box, including standard sizes for the top and skirt, fitmesh for Maitreya and Slink, and multiple sizes for the tie, all unrigged for easy resizing and positioning.

The matching shoes for Slink High are also included.

Ice Flower

This is a gown from The White Amory that’s been languishing in my unopened folder from two Christmases ago!

The gown itself is standard size mesh, and the prim and mesh attachments are unscripted (if you want them smaller than they are here, you’ll have to sharpen your building skills!)
