Look of the day

Punk’s not dead

blue LotD

Sometimes you have to plan ahead for events.  On this coming Saturday, we have a “Best in Punk” contest at Eden.  I have a few goth outfits, but I really had nothing in punk.  So I mixed and matched and created something 🙂

The bits and pieces in this outfit have been collected slowly over time.  I got the skin just two days ago when someone announced fantasy skins in the SLF&O group chat for the amazing price of L$1 each!  Wow!  And after finding jeans, boots, hair, tattoos, piercings, and makeup, I realized I had nothing that would suit for a top.  Fortunately I have a few full perm mesh things.  I bought this full perm tank top to make a free group gift for all our wonderful members at Eden.  I’ve also made a copy for the staff there, with “Angel” on the back, and one for the boss with “Virgin” on the back (she asked me to make it, honest lol).  So with this kit in hand and a little bit of work in Gimp, a new top is born!

The oldest part of this outfit is the little skull earring with glowy eyes I got way back in 2014 just after I started SL!

I don’t usually model different skins, but thought I’d try a little something different for a Friday.  Alaska Metro offers Sunny,  few lovely new face and Fit, a matching skin at the Mesh Body Addicts Fair!  Both come in three skintones, and Sunny has options for no eyebrows, light, medium, and dark shades.  Fit is released as an update to Alaska Metro’s older skin line.  Fit includes Omega, Maitreya and SLink appliers, and nail polish for both natural and french finishes.

 

Sunny comes in appliers for Omega (head only), Lelutka, and Catwa.  The Omega version is optimised for the new LOGO and LAQ Bento heads, but it works just fine, I think, on my [GA.EG] Barbara Bento head!

The Mesh Body Addicts faire has just ended, but look for Sunny and Fit at the Alaska Metro mainstore.

Happy Aloha Friday!  Mahalo,  a hui hou!

Raven

blue LotD

A friend referred Raven to me, telling her I do profile pics.  Well, I’m not really a professional photographer in SL, but I have done some profile pics for friends before.  I told Raven that I’d be happy to do a photo shoot with her as long as she put a notecard together detailing her outfit for me.  Saves me doing an outfit for the blog, and if she likes a photo for a profile, she is more than welcome to use one.  Win-win 🙂

I found a suitably spooky and atmospheric location, based on her outfit…

This is the one I liked for her profile, but she chose a less ummm… cutesie one 🙂

Hopefully I get all her details correct…

The theme for Enchantment right now is “A thousand nights and a night”, the tales of Princess Scheherazade.  Silvan Moon Designs offers Princess Parizade Dhoti as an exclusive for the event, with side-slit harem pants, top, and coin belt and scarf in three independent pieces.

Princess Parizade Dhoti comes in six lovely colours, in fitmesh for SLink Physique and Hourglass and for Maitreya Lara.

After moving from [GA.EG]‘s Kirsten non-bento head to the Barbara bento face, I lost two of my favourite eye makeup add-ons — the iLiner and the Nefertiti just didn’t work well on the bento face.  I’m so very happy to introduce [GA.EG]‘s newest eyeliner, Audacity.  Audacity is certainly an upgrade on iLiner, but with flavours of Nefertiti added on.  I’m so thrilled to have this look back!

Of course, facial expressions (eyebrows and mouth in particular) change the way that the different eye makeups are interpreted, so it’s kind of fun to see how they play together in each of the above looks.

Stop on by Enchantment and find this little bit of the exotic from Silvan Moon Designs!  Mahalo!  A hui hou!

No wonder…

…Scandalize is called Scandalize!  Here’s a scandalous group gift from them for summer.

Unless you’re on an A sim, panties are required!  I’m wearing some Maitreya specific ones.  Even though this is in fitmesh for Lara, it’s fairly loose at the sides, so again, you should probably consider where you’ll be wearing this!  The dress comes in brown and black in addition to the white, and fitmesh for Isis, Freya, Venus, Physique, and Hourglass.

I’m showing off a new hairstyle from Exile too.  I had a few L$ burning a hole in my pocketbook, so I went and got a new style!  There is a selection of packs with this like most Exile hair (this is a colour from the Red Pack) but unlike my other favourite style from Exile, this HUD has no streak options, just the plain colours.  As you can probably guess, I love it anyway!  If I could buy the Exile store, I probably would lol.

Hello lovelies, today I’m in a little bit of a rush, but I did want to show you this applier lingerie from Lo’s Inspiration that was on one of their Midnight Mania boards yesterday.  Lo’s has some nice things and they are always worth going and having a look at sometime during the day.  You might get lucky and find a nice mesh dress or even mesh undies on one of the boards, or more usually, as in this case, appliers.  There is no group required for most of their boards and lucky chairs!

The lingerie comes in system layers and appliers for Slink in one applier, and Omega, Lara, and Belleza in a multi applier.

I’m wearing my diamonds again too, because I love them 🙂  They’re great for photos but must be used sparingly if you’re walking around.  With all five pieces on, my complexity is over 250,000!

Urban beauty

blue LotD, Places

I love exploring in SL.  Although Aeon is far better at me at getting out to take photos, I do have a list of places that I’ve come across over the years which make for really good settings.  When I have the time, I do try to get out.  Honestly 🙂

Anduril has been on my list for a while although I don’t think I’ve taken any pics  there before.  It’s mostly urban with a little bit of a 50’s feel, perfect for sitting out on the stoop on a hot summer’s evening…

…but just around the corner you find beautiful little niches of greenery and parks.  It’s certainly worth a visit!

My jean miniskirt and sandals are gifts from Redeux.  The mini skirt comes with regular mesh sizes plus fitmesh for Lara, Hourglass, and Physique.  It has a HUD to change the color of the belt.  The sandals are in sizes for both Slink and Maitreya flats.

My top was a Mother’s Day gift from memory, and is in sizes for Lara, Hourglass, Physique, and Belleza.  It has a rather cool HUD with eight colors, but you can tint it with a color picker in the HUD!  Great idea!

 

Warm sands

Summer may be drawing to a close, but the water is warm and you will have to drag me from the beach.  Here’s a lovely little treasure from MOoH! that I picked up at this summer’s Aloha Fair.   Their Rainbow Bikini has been updated to include not only the standard five rigged mesh sizes, but fitmesh for pretty much any mesh body you might like.  It’s fun and flirty and suits this girl just fine!

  • MOoH! — Rainbow bikini
  • EarthStones — Tumbled Stones (spectrum) necklace, earrings, and bracelet
  • [evolove] — October #2 pose gift

Happy aloha Friday!  I hope that you are enjoying beautiful weather and warm sands!

Mahalo!  A hui hou!

Another one

A lot of creators use this mesh to design nice one piece swimsuits, but every now and then, someone comes up with something that makes their design stand out.  Not only does this suit have an extensive HUD that allows you to control the main and hem textures, it also allows you to display and texture some additional straps!

There are fits for Freya, Isis, Venus, Lara, Hourglass, and Physique.  No standard sizes are included.

As I said, the texture HUD allows you to color the main suit, the hem, and the straps, and hide or show the straps.  There are 16 different textures included, so the possibilities are endless!  (Well actually they aren’t endless, there are 163 + 162 = 4352 possibilities.  Geek girl showing, lol)

I’ve been wanting to share this little outfit with you for ages now, and I’ve finally got the perfect excuse.  My lovely Blue gave me a gift certificate to Blueberry ages ago for my birthday and these were two little pieces that I fell in love with.  Britan is a beautiful little denim mini, and Koko is the fun half-cropped top!  Both items are sold single-colour, but come in rigged mesh and mesh-body-fitmesh sizes.  Britan has a little HUD that allows you to change the belt colour, rivet/metal texture, and panty colour — or just do away with the panties in the first place.  Koko comes in two variants for each colour — with and without the printed pattern.

I really am excited to share these foil freckles with you from Alaska Metro.  Alaska is rolling out a new free-join group — Alaskametro<3 loves, and the foil freckles are your gift for joining up.  They come both in Omega appliers and standard tattoo layers in six different lovely shades.  I’m in love!

Your look is out there just waiting for you to find it.  Thank you, Blue my love, for helping me find my way every day.  ♥♥♥

Mahalo!  A hui hou!
