Scary Halloween

blue Events, LotD

We’ve had a busy Halloween season at Eden!  This is the outfit (or maybe “body shape and skin”) that I wore for the main party!   Scary, scary!

scary-halloween_002

This demon is truly an incredible work of art as the body is massively materials enabled.  You have to wear the included lighting system and ensure you have Advanced Lighting switched on to get the full effect, but oh my it looks just amazing.  My photos don’t do it justice.  There are two versions, this one and one in black and green.

The only drawback with something like this is the rendering complexity.  It’s over 300K!  For the party I didn’t wear the lighting as dancing causes enough glitter and ripples over the skin, just because you’ve moving enough.

Maiden of E’na Dorei

Here’s another little item that was in my unopened folder, hiding in the Advent gifts from The White Armory from last year (eep! has it been languishing for that long?)

The gown is a one-size-fits-all fitmesh piece, with the flexi sleeves adding a nice flow-y look.  Compared to the other outfit from the same Advent giveaway I posted yesterday, this is not as good, and would have probably been better in standard sized fitmesh.  I had quite a lot of problems getting it to fit Lara just right, and if you want to wear period boots with it, they are going to poke through the back of the gown.

Nonetheless, it’s a nice outfit for medieval events or RP.

Elf Warrior

blue LotD

After doing the post from yesterday about role play outfits, I was going through one of my unopened folders (yes, I have mote that one for various things!)  This folder is called “Nope!” as I throw things in there that I’m not happy with on initial viewing (for example, stuff that’s system layer only).  Every now and then I go through it more carefully and throw things out that I realize I was right about on the first look.  And every now and then, I come across a nugget I missed!

This outfit was an Advent gift from The White Armory.

Probably the reason I threw it in an unopened folder was the fact that the pants for it are system only, meaning I can’t wear it on Lara.  So, after discovering how good the rest looked, I went hunting for some applier tights I knew I had, and this is the result.  Add a sword, et voilà!

The best thing about this outfit it the flexi cloak.  The photos don’t really do it justice.  It looks fantastic and moves perfectly.

Elmon

blue LotD

How about some scary stuff coming up to Halloween?  I don’t do role play much, but after all this time in SL, I’ve gathered some interesting outfits 🙂  This scary demon type thing was from a hunt earlier this year.  Mwahaha!

elmon_004

The outfit is called “Elmon Warrior HERS” and I’m not sure but I think it’s related to a video game.  Anyway, the overall look with the cloven hooves, multipoint chained tail, horns, and arm blades is freaky!  Superb stuff if you want to go around and frighten some newbies 🙂

The outfit is all inclusive, and in addition to the items already mentioned, it comes with the ears, pasties, and chain harnesses.  Very generous for a hunt item!

Welcome our lovely friend Frani, who’s today showing us a spectacular outfit from Moon Elixir.

I talked Frani into modelling for the blog, and I said “You can wear anything you like that’s not already on the blog”, and she sent me a link to the outfit she’s wearing in these pics.  Without even reading the name of the outfit (or the name of the shop hehe), when I saw it, I instantly pictured her in front of the ocean with the moon on the water.

This is her first modelling shoot, and she was a little nervous, but oh my I hope you’ll agree, she looks fantastic!

Her outfit is fitmesh for Maitreya Lara only, and was available as gacha items at The Epiphany back in April, but the items are still available in the store.

This is a recent SLF&O gift from Nevermore Designs.

The dress comes in standard mesh sizes plus there are standard sizes for those with a little more in the boob department.  There are also fitmesh versions for Maitreya, Belleza, and Slink.  Also included are the nice sandals for Slink High.

This cute little outfit was on Nevermore Designs’ Midnight Mania board for a number of days before we finally scared up enough people to come and click it 🙂  Thanks to Sorcha for leaving it on the board for long enough!

This is in standard sizes, but the extra small works well for me on Lara.  Also included in the package were a pair of his and hers skinny mesh jeans in standard sizes, and a really great set of cheetah print keds for Slink Flat that I’m sure I’ll show you in a future post!

I’m glad it’s easier to change your hair colour in SL than it is in RL!  This works with my standard reds, but it works so much better with this great blonde style 🙂

It’s a while since I’ve posted something from one of my fav shoe stores, namely Baby Monkey.  I was over there looking at group gifts and on the member’s specials board was this lovely daisy print dress and matching platforms with both the dress and the shoes at L$10 each.  I had to grab them 🙂

daisy_003

The dress and shoes both have HUDs for nine textures each, plus you can change the metal for the buckles on the shoes.  I really like this version, which fits my color range 🙂

daisy_002

The dress comes in standard mesh sizes, plus fitmesh for (takes a deep breath) Belleza Venus, Freya, and Isis, Slink Physique and Hourglass, Maitreya, and TMP.  And the platforms have versions for Slink, Belleza, and TMP.

This is the second outfit I picked up from Ana Markova thanks to my wonderful Aeon 🙂

This one is in standard mesh sizes and has specific fitmesh sizes for Maitreya and Slink Physique.  Yay!

I want to highlight the creator of my skin again too.  Lumiya Rae, owner of Lumae, makes fantastic skins at reasonable prices!  This is the freckled option of my normal Adore Peach Bare skin, the one I wear every day.  When I’m not being all formal and hiding freckles under makeup, I wear a freckle tattoo on my face to add some interest.  I’m not really the pale freckly one (that’s Aeon) so I generally wear a non-freckled skin.  But I was playing with this option of the skin for the face freckles the other day, and I thought I would show you a close-up so you can see just how good Lumae skins are.  I highly recommend them!
