Belly dance

blue LotD

Recently at Eden, we have been doing a belly dance event once a month.  I’m not a major fan of the music, but the event is fun.  This was my latest outfit 🙂

I got this from the marketplace and the comment on the item was in part “I was hesitant to buy it at first. I was afraid it would be rigged for popular mesh bodies and wouldn’t fit my custom body. But it’s not rigged and I was able to adjust it perfectly.”  Of course what this doesn’t mention is that you really better be good at editing to “adjust it perfectly” 🙂

The belt was no issue, I just stretched it smaller to fit.  But the under bra part?  OMG!  I shrank it as much as it would go, then had to edit linked and shrink the main part, and then move all the little prim and mesh attachments to match.  Every one of those attachment points has a mesh object and three flexiprims on them!  Eleven attachment points = 44 prims eeeks!

Fortunately the necklace, ankle, upper arm, and wrist bracelets were all fine (whew).

The outfit also comes with system panties and the breast decorations.  It also comes with some mesh nipple covers too, but with a mesh body and the appliers (Maitreya, Omega, Slink, and TMP included) you don’t really need them.

Once I’d edited it, it really is a spectacular outfit!

I’ll just mention my skin here too.  Lumae, who made the Adore Peach Bare skin I wear all the time, is very generous with group gifts.  The skin I’m wearing with this outfit was a FabFree group gift, and unlike a number of other skin makers who just include the system skin and call it good, Lumae’s owner Lumiya Rae is wonderful and includes appliers for all major bodies, heads, and Slink hands and feet in her gifts.  What an amazingly generous person!  I highly recommend Lumae (I should, I wear one of their products every day!).  You should run over and look at some of the fabulous skins there!

Sizzlin’

blue LotD

Another item from the Womenstuff hunt (at this rate I’ll just finish with this bunch and the hunt will be on again!)

A slinky jumpsuit all in one piece in standard sizes and fitmesh for Belleza, Maitreya, and Slink.  I really like the Maitreya version as it comes with the proper script to turn your alpha layer sections off and on.  This makes it super easy to wear this!

The jumpsuit comes with matching wedges for Slink High too, but I really don’t like really really big platforms so I’m wearing an old pair of fav boots 🙂

This is a very tricky dress from the Womenstuff hunt!  I love the slashed sides, but oh my does it make it difficult for alphas on a mesh body!  Even though the dress is fitmesh with a specific size for Maitreya (also includes size for Belleze and Slink), you can’t alpha anything that wraps around the side of your body.  This would surely be problematic if you tried to dance in this.  Even static poses for this photo session proved difficult.

Having said that, it looks great!

A recent freebie from Punk Justus, this crop top, harness. and mini are fitmesh for the top and standard sizes for the mini.  The top comes with specific sizes for Maitreya, Freya, Isis, Venus, Physique, Hourglass, and TMP.

I can hear Aeon humming Bruce Springsteen’s “Pony Boy” right now, except I’m sure it’s “pony girl” subbed in there 🙂

Henna

Hello lovelies!  Today I’m wearing last month’s group gift from Ghee.  I’ve been so busy with photographing the wonderful items from Womenstuff, I’ve fallen behind on my group gifts!

The cami and fabulous silk skirt come in standard sizes all in fitmesh, and there are specific fitmesh sizes for the cami for Maitreya, Belleza, and Slink Physique.

The outfit also includes these gorgeous matching platform sandals for Slink High feet.  Wow!

Two for one

More Womenstuff hunt prizes, but today you get two designers for the price of one!

shorts & tank_003

The shorty shorts are by FashionNatic, and come in standard size rigged mesh and have fitmesh sizes for Maitreya, and Slink Hourglass and Physique.  I’m nearly a perfect size S, but you can see just a little clipping in the next picture, even though these are Maitreya fitmesh.  But under normal circumstances, everything is good.  If you were really worried, you could play with your shape a little to eliminate it.

The detail on them is fantastic.  And so is the detail on the tank top by StormCrow Design.  The hunt gift is a single color, but it comes in-store in a wide range of colors.  It’s also in standard sizes with fitmesh versions for Maitreya, Belleza Freya, Isis, and Venus, TMP, and Slink Hourglass and Physique.  It also comes with a 10 texture HUD to allow you to change the colors on the metal accents!

Not a poodle skirt

blue LotD

Every now and then we get invited to a 50s/60s party.  One of our friends loves DJing this type of music (you know who you are hehe).  Aeon has a poodle skirt, but I didn’t have one as it’s one of the few “standard” outfits I’ve never come across as a freebie, and I sort of can’t bring myself to buy one 🙂

So this is not a poodle skirt 🙂

The skirt and top are all one piece fitmesh for Lara, and also come in standard sizes fitmesh and specific sizes for Belleza and Slink too.
