Far Eastern Flair

Jaz

Waves to my sweet friends as today I give you something different! I am very fond of Asian fashions, both the demure and the more flamboyant. Today’s offering is very much more in the latter category!

So when we talk about out-there Asian style we of course have to start with Bare Rose, a Second Life staple for many years. Anyone who has been to the Bare Rose store, with its giant 20 story walls of outfits, knows that the selection ranges from fantasy to fantastic to… truly out there!

This one. Celestial Taipei, is by no means extravagant in terms of Bare Rose… but still pretty flashy. It is a full mesh outfit in a single size, with flexi in the back. Many of the Bare Rose outfits are system layer, but the newer offerings come in mesh (some say fit mesh but… not so much). The good thing is that the outfits are also relatively cheap, so one can afford to experiment as the ones that do work are often spectacular.

A more recent find of mine has been irrISIStible shop. They have a range of fantasy outfits, all very nice done and some with incredible detailing, like the China Dragon shown here.

It clearly competes with the Bare Rose outfit in the “problem getting through doorways” department… but is sure to impress even when standing still! It comes in five mesh sizes as well as Maitreya, Belleza, and Slink, in four colors with  a texture HUD, and some of the parts are resizable and detachable.

Now for slightly less flamboyant, we can go with Luas and their sexy shorty kimono style Akira outfit which comes in four bright colors. Akira is part of a gacha set but the gacha is in-world at the Luas store. Also, the parts shown here are not the rares, and are available on Marketplace from resellers at reasonable prices.

 

Did I say something about flamboyant? You ain’t seen nuthin’ yet! ShengLong by W-Zero is a gacha outfit too but worth trying to get, as I guarantee you everyone will know you are in the room with this one. In fact it needs more than a picture to show you, so check out this video clip:

This spectacular outfit includes the cloud particle effects surrounding you, as well as the animated dragon swirling around your body. AND were that not enough…

… it includes an animated bento dragon tail in back! So when you are ready to be appropriately revered as an ancient goddess… now you know what to wear!

  • Outfit: ShengLong by W-Zero

Bows discreetly to all my friends (as much as one may bow in some of these outfits…) Cheers!
