Nightlife

This gorgeous little mini was on the MM board at Etchaflesh the other day!  My color too!

Unfortunately it doesn’t come with a Maitreya fitmesh version, but has Belleza Isis, Freya, and Venus, Slink Physique, and standard sizes (that appear to be fitmesh).  I’m wearing a standard small on Lara and as you can see it works beautifully.

As a redhead (preferably unless I’m changing colors for the blog) this is one of my favourite colors!

Cozy

Mmmms ,warm and snug and still sexy for the winter?  Yes, please!  I love a sweater and tights, and Alaska Metro <3 has the lovely Heather sweater dress in 6 colours!  It’s hard to beat a nice form-fitting sweaterdress in the cooler months.

Stay warm my lovely friends!

Mahalo!  A hui hou!

 


You know I’m bad

It’s nearly that time of the year!  Advent calendars are underway (OMG!)  I thought I’d photograph a funny outfit from last year to get the season started!

Fitmesh for Lara!  In 2015 🙂  Fitmesh for Belleza, Slink and stardard size fitmesh too.  Very cool for a year ago!

To seek out new life, and new civilisations…

I’m so happy to announce that I’m now an official blogger for Eclectic Stars!  Jadziyah has a wonderful sense of style for all the nerds out there of every stripe!   Let me share with you a great example of her work — Shifty — and maybe stir up a little controversy!

shifty_c004

Rowena Springlower’s Tanith boot is the perfect fit to complement this outfit, and comes with a fantastic colour HUD!

Hmmm… now, how did that happen?  Let me check my code….

shifty_c002

As you might expect, Shifty is available in three colours: blue, red, and gold for science, engineering, and command.  Hmm, tricorders have gotten smaller over the years… who could have guessed?
shifty_c008

Wait, what controversy?  Jadziyah named each outfit for the colour scheme on the new series – where command is red and engineering is gold.  In the original 1966 series, gold was for command, and red for engineering and security!  I’ve seen angry fights break out over this that make some sporting rivalries look tame!  And yes, blue was science in all series.

shifty_c006

Whichever side of the controversy you’re on, you’ll love Shifty.  It’s available in fitmesh for Belleza, Maitreya, and Slink Physique bodies, as well as the standard five mesh sizes.    Beam on over to Eclectic Stars and see what other fab things there are for you to find!

Mahalo!  A hui hou!


I dream of shimmer

These harem style pants and top are from an old group gift by Paisley Daisy from last year.  I don’t know how I missed photographing then, but better late than never 🙂

shimmer_003

It only comes in standard rigged mesh, and I’m wearing on system here with it’s associated alpha.   It’s heavily materials enabled and glitters and shimmers nicely, hence the name 🙂

Nayra

Another outfit from the Boho Fair, this shorts and top set comes from KiB Designs.

boho-short-top_002

There are three set of shorts and matching tops, all the same mesh but with different textures, and they’re specific fitmesh for Slink, Maitreya, and Belleza only.  I’m seeing more designers do this (leave out standard rigged mesh) but I think it would be nice if they did a fitmesh version for the system avi if they are going to do so.  Else they are limiting their market.

Porcelina

I was sorting inventory the other day when I came across my folder from the Boho Fair from earlier this year!  I’d completely forgotten it as it wasn’t in my usual place for unopened things!  So, yay, blog fodder 🙂

porcelina_001

This is a great outfit from Prism, and in addition to the five standard mesh sizes, comes with a one-size-fits-all fitmesh version.  It’s all one piece so no mix and match.  I’m wearing it on Lara, and it has a tiny issue at the back of the skirt which could easily be fixed with a shape tweak (I retouched the below pic, shhh).

The bee and honeycomb texture is very cute!

porcelina_005

I matched it with some knee high boots from Baby Monkey, which has a huge color selection HUD, and I nearly got a perfect color match!

Snow and steam

This is the November group gift from Azul.  I unpacked it and looked and went OMG how am I going to photograph this?  Black is terrible for showing up detail, and the detail on this is rather nice, in a steampunky type of way.  Even with shadows enabled and a prim point light to try and pick up the highlights, my photos don’t do it justice.  You need to run and pick it up yourself!  Azul is FREE to join, and there are a ton of group gifts available when you do!

azul-gg-nov2016_002

The dress is in standard size rigged mesh.  There are no special sizes for mesh bodies.  I tried it on Lara anyway, and it works, although I had to wear the medium size (makes note to go to the gym).

azul-gg-nov2016_003

As the dress is steampunk influenced, I found a nice Neo-Victorian alleyway to photograph in.  With the snow on the ground, I know the holiday season is just around the corner 🙂

Cooler weather

I pulled this outfit on this morning, as the weather is starting to cool down noticeably, and nothing beats a nice comfy sweater.   This is FAC’s November group gift.  FAC is FREE to join!

patti_001

The sweater and pants are all one piece, and comes in a range of mesh, including classic rigged, classic fitmesh, and body specific fitmesh for Belleza, Maitrya, Slink Physique, and Slink Hourglass.  It comes with an eight texture HUD allowing you to change the colour of the sweater and in a couple of selections, the pants texture very subtly.
