Grunge

As Aeon said “Wow… that’s quite a texture!”  Yep, it sure is, and some huge platforms to boot!

The dress comes in standard sizes, and has fitmesh for Maitreya and Slink Physique and Hourglass.  Also included are some black panties (no, I didn’t take a photo!) on system layers and Slink, Omega, Belleza, and Maitreya appliers.

And of course, those platforms!  Again, the designer has included versions to fit slink, Maitreya, and Belleza feet.  Wonderful!

Be anything

It’s been a while since I’ve shown you something out of the ordinary, so today I thought I’d show you a fantastic little avatar I bought for an event ohhh, quite some time ago now.  The theme was “Best Animal” and at the time, I had absolutely nothing in the way of alternate body shapes or furry stuff.  So I went searching on marketplace and found this little cutey.

Yes, dear reader, this is an avatar!  Tiny, isn’t it? 🙂

The kit from Scribbles Habilis comes with all the body parts, and a really really good AO that you wear to make your jerboa hop just right!  I love how you can be literally anything in SL!

A quick story about this avi.  I wore it to the event, and a good friend of mine turned up as an owl.  I promptly went “eeek” and she spent the event chasing around the dance floor trying to catch me!  You have to admit, in avatars like a tiny jerboa and an owl, it’s pretty hard to dance lol

Lace and mustard

blue LotD, Requested, Reviews

The mustard highlights on this pretty lace gown are just lovely!  No gowns have come my way for quite some time, and now I have two new ones in less than a week 🙂  It also gives me a wonderful opportunity to show off a new jewelry set from Beloved!

The gown is prim, with system layer pants and top that also come as Omega, Slink, EVE, and Maitreya appliers.  The gauzy upward ruffle is just lovely, and moves around nicely producing a gorgeous shimmery effect.

And oh my, Kimbra from Beloved is just amazing!  She keeps producing these wonderful pieces of jewelry that just make you go “Wow!”  As usual, this is fully texture changeable, so you can select the metals, gem, and accent gems to suit your outfit, and the set includes matching earrings.  If you do your shopping at the larger jewelry stores, do yourself a huge favour and go and visit her store for some astonishing pieces at some very reasonable prices!

Bethani

Ana Markova has recently started doing fitmesh clothing yay!  Here’s August’s group gift.  The group is only L$100 to join, and with group gifts like this, it’s surely worth it.

bethani_001

Besides coming in the standard rigged mesh sizes, the shorts also come in fitmesh sizes for Hourglass, Freya, Isis. Maitreya, Slink, and TMP.  The top is also in standard sizes and while it only has a fitmesh version for Slink, it’s easy to get a size to fit Lara.

If you don’t know, Wetherby’s is a wonderfully generous designer, and the group is FREE to join.  Ms W does some lovely clothes and she offers different group gifts nearly every day!  Please run over to her store and have a look.  You won’t be disappointed.

This fab little dress comes in standard mesh sizes and had fitmesh sizes for Slink, Belleza, and Maitreya.  Ms W. made it to wear to work, but I’m going to wear it everywhere 🙂

Green Envy

Did you know (of course you did) that there’s a lot of role play in Second Life?  These photos were taken at the Amazon River sim, a huge eight-sim wide role play area.  It also boasts one of the few (so far) user written experiences in SL.  Of course I only went there to find a location for this very risqué outfit.  The things I do for you, dear reader 🙂

green envy silks_001c

This outfit is mostly prim, and the top comes with a system layer and an Omega applier.  In case you’ve never met me in world, I’m pretty petite for an avatar in SL, standing only 6 feet (185cm) tall.  This outfit was designed for your standard sized Amazon, not little old me.  I scaled everything down as far as I could then had to edit each prim individually to get it sized to fit me.  You certainly need some building skills for this one 🙂

Kimbra McMillan at Beloved Jewelry, one of my favourite jewelry makers in SL, gave me a few items some time ago, including a tiara.  I’m not overly fond of tiaras, but I’ve been looking for an opportunity to blog it for her.  And along comes this fabulous applier and prim gown from LC Fashion!

alya gown_001

This gown is currently FREE to all comers, so hurry and get yours!  It comes with pants, top, and gloves on system layers, and has appliers for Omega, Belleza, Lola Tangos, Maitreya, and Slink.  The gown also comes in two styles, the ball gown I am wearing here, and a less formal evening gown.

A lot of Beloved Jewelry’s items are texture changeable so you can match with what you’re wearing (or in my case, select emeralds to offset my hair).  This tiara is no exception and allows you to select the metals, main and marquis gems, and the pearls from a huge range.

I’d also like to thank my friend Sophia “Queen of Fae” Hard for her wonderful location at  Castle of Fae, Artic Wolf.  Her beautiful castle and surrounding grounds are open to the public and are well worth a visit.

This retro swimsuit was a Midnight Mania board gift the other day.  Some designers are just so generous with fitmesh stuff!  Make sure you buy something from them to support their continuing efforts to bring us wonderful clothes!

The slippers are unrigged mesh for Slink Flats, and you may need to tweak them a little to get them just right.

Ohhh lovelies, take a look at the fantastic materials on this wonderful gown from Insatiable Dreams!

northern temptations_001

The gown is fitmesh in standard sizes and comes with fitmesh sizes for Physique, Freya, Hourglass, Isis, Maitreya, TMP, and Venus.  Wow.

northern temptations_003

I’m not a big fan of full mesh gowns, particularly for dancing, but this one works really well!  The next time we go out to a formal dance, I know what I’m wearing!
