Falling leaves

This classy outfit shouts “Autumn” with its pretty fallen leaves pattern on the blouse.  And it will keep you warm with the addition of the matching jacket too!

The blouse and capris are one piece and you can add the jacket or not.  It comes in (takes a deep breath) classic rigged, and fitmesh for Freya, Isis, Venus, TMP, Belleza, Slink Physique and Hourglass, and Maitreya.

This is a current group gift for members of SLF&O.  SLF&O is FREE to join.

Cyber Angel

The lovely Ia agreed to model for me again, and shows off one of my favourite of her outfits, a cyber angel, hard as steel and tender as a kiss

The mecha tail is wonderfully animated, darting about with a mind of its own.  I’m quite sure it’s powered by a cat’s brain — ahhh, the miracles of future tech.

ia_cyber_c010

I think… to get philosophical for a moment…. that one of the joys of SL, or cosplay — or any similar opportunity to change who we are, or who we look like — is that we get the chance to explore ourselves more.  I can look at Ia’s bionics – her wings, the little mechapet floating around — and her beauty, her humanity shines all the more.

Mahalo nui loa to Ia for sitting for my camera again.  I’ll try to talk her into posing again sometime, this was a lot of fun!

Mahalo!  A hui hou!

Camouflage!

Blending into the urban backdrop, this great little camo dress by Scandalize is their group gift for this month.  Sandalize is FREE to join!

It’s in fitmesh for Maitreya only.

I’m also excited to show off my new hairdo from eXxEsS!  I really got it to go with some swimwear, but I think it works well with this too!  It comes with a huge 56 color HUD and is a bit of a steal at only L$199 🙂

The Woodcutter’s Daughter

Aloha, my friends!   Enchantment is on, and Silvan Moon Designs has the perfect dirndl set for you:  The Woodcutters Daughter!
woodcuttersdaughter_c001

As you’ve come to expect, Silvan Moon leaves little lacking: the multilayered mesh is beautifully crafted and textured, giving a perfect look for roleplaying, that Octoberfest party (that’s only 11 months away!) or for wearing just because it makes you happy.

woodcuttersdaughter_c003

Woodcutter’s Daughter comes in four colours: a delightful hunter green, blue, lilac, and turqoise (not shown).

woodcuttersdaughter_c008

The whole dirndl set is crafted into one piece: Skirt, blouse, bodice and apron. Silvan Moon has you covered with five standard mesh sizes plus fitmesh versions for Maitreya and Slink avatars plus a fitmesh for the standard SL avatar.

woodcuttersdaughter_c005

Silvan Moon Designs never disappoints.  Stop by Enchantment today — pick up a demo or a fatpack — and take a look at the other treasures around the event.  Then visit Silvan Moon Designs and see what else Bee and Solas have created for you!

Mahalo!  A hui hou!


Nacra 17

When I first started in SL, I quickly became aware of sailing.  I was a keen dinghy sailor when I was growing up, and I’ve also done some yachting since then.  I looked at what was available in SL and took a number of boats for demo runs (including a hydrofoil which scared the pants off me!)

In the end I settled for a Nacra 17 catamaran, which in my option is the best cat in SL.

nacra_002

I’m not going to do a major review here.  You can read a review elsewhere.  I’d just like to point out a couple of things.  The boat is a model of the Olympic Class cat that made its début at Rio earlier this year.  The boat is fabulously well detailed and as you can see, you can set the textures for everything to customize the look.

nacra_001

I just settled for our logo spread across the main and gennaker.

Also, you can sail it with one or two people, and you can clearly see the two trapeze in the above photo.

It’s a super fun boat to sail, and while you can be up and running on it in very quick time, it takes some mastering, particularly with two people.

nacra_004

My only problem with it is you can’t assign it to be sailed by a group or even switch between the skipper and crew positions.  I know that the creator has issued updated versions recently.  Surely it would be simple to do a swap function or a group permission function?  (Actually, having looked at the BWind script that the Nacra uses, albeit a modified version for cats, I know it’s possible and already coded in there).

Crochet

This was a MM win at Entice the other day.

entice-crochet_001

The dress comes in a one-size-fits-all fitmesh that works on Lara if you don’t wear any physics.  I had to tweak my shape just a little to get it to work.  It’s also in the standard rigged mesh sizes if you want to wear it with the alpha on a system avi.

I really like the drape details, front and back, so I worked hard to make it fit.

The dress also comes with a three texture HUD that includes lavender and light yellow versions.

Ia

Wow!  The glamorous Ia Riederer has agreed to model for my camera!  She tolerated a ridiculously long photo shoot, but I hope that you’ll agree it’s worth it.

  • Blueberry — Energy #22 Choker black (Gacha)

Ia shows off some wonderful pieces from Blueberry.  I’ve really fallen in love with Blueberry lately: they feature some gorgeous meshes and textures, for the casual to the classy!  Ia leaves no doubt where on that spectrum she falls on.

I love the choker and armlets/bracers. Blueberry‘s clothing is materials enabled: the armlets and the sequins on Ia’s top really catch the light.

Should a photographer tell which shots are her favourites?  Perhaps not.  In any case, look for more from Ia in the future!
