One last Halloween

blue LotD

This was my Halloween outfit for the big night.  A fabulously dark gown called, what else? “Dark Blood Ephiphany” by Glam Dreams!  The gown was a group gift, absolutely FREE to group members.  And it comes with all the accessories you see here, plus a fur collar and neck frill that I chose not to wear.

The earrings are another hunt item from Bats in the Belfry Hunt from the other day.  Here is a close-up, also showing you another aspect of my usual skin from Lumae.  My normal ginger sure didn’t go with dark blood 🙂  Including my eyebrows.  Fortunately, Lumae includes multiple options with their skins, and I have the choice of four eyebrow tints and a version with no brow in case you need to add that rainbow one you found as a freebie 🙂

Finally, a close-up of the accessories.  The skeleton hands are some of the best I’ve seen!

Bare Fashion with a Shimmer

Aeon Fashion, LotD, Reviews

Materials science is a hot area in the real world, and Advanced Materials in SL isn’t far behind!

I have to show off this fabulous dress from Ally Adventures.  Ally offers a range of clothing featuring this fabric, and each more provocative than the last!

Ally_Sparta_007_crop

These items do require the Advanced Lighting Model to be activated, so it’s not for the faint-of-cpu, although I have little problem on a range of computers that I’ve tried.  I’d definitely recommend checking the demos first – Ally offers free demos of all her items.  Additionally, transparent clothing leaves no room for alphas, so some adjustment of shape may be called for.

All of the Ally Adventure glitter sequins garments come with a set of personal lights.  These are similar to facelights, but are designed to produce sparkle in the dress.    Night (low illumination) produces a very transparent effect!  These are not for the excessively modest!  My dear friend Whit might be concerned about a lack of decorum, but it does feel good to get this off my chest.

Ally_Sparta_005_crop

As a nod to some level of modesty, Sparta comes with a thong with multiple texture choices, but the breast is left transparent to view.

For contrast, a view of the same dress under daylight illumination.  The fabric is a bit less shear – external illumination hides (to some extent) the skin beneath.

Ally Adventures features a broad range of clothing with these materials.  I can only say that I think they are worth every linden.  Watch this space for review of others – there’s a very sexy swimsuit that I have my eye on.

Morea Style Halloween Gift

blue LotD

While I was out shopping, I came across this FREE gift from Morea Style.  Just in time for Halloween, the outfit comes on system layers and includes all major appliers.  There are two skirt styles, this one and a mini version.

And in case you hadn’t noticed, this is way too orange for my normal carrot top, so I’m wearing a hairstyle from Emotions 🙂

Paris Metro Bouquet d’Amour

blue LotD

While I was at Paris Metro yesterday, I picked up the latest group gift.  The group is FREE to join, and past group gifts have been as stunning as this lovely little cocktail dress.  You will look smashing at your next dance in this, it flows beautifully!

The dress is on system pants and top, and has a mesh belt and flexi prim skirt and ruffle.  Unfortunately there are no appliers, but I’m wearing this out dancing with my standard system body!

Ana Markova October 2015

blue LotD

Here’s the fantastic group gift from Ana Markova Designs for October 2015.  The great detail on this little red dress comes on the five standard sizes and also includes a fitmesh version which should suit most mesh bodies!  The group has a L$100 join fee, but again, with group gifts like this, I’m certainly not complaining!

Bats in the Belfry Hunt

blue LotD

Oh my it has been busy!  I finally want to show you some items from the Bats in the Belfry Hunt, going on until the 31st of October.  The hunt is spread out of three regions, so you’ll need some time to find all the gifts.  Challenging!

Firstly, the overall look, including a top from Facepalm, jewelry from DemotiK, and nails by Dark Passions:

Here’s a closeup on the Dark Passions necklace:

And a closeup on the nails, which I bought from one of the marketplace stalls, with 100% of the money going to Bat World Sanctuary.  The batty thumb ring is by The Nebulae.

Hit the Beach!

Aeon Fashion, Reviews

I’m a big fan of winter, and am truly looking forward to snow – but I will NEVER say no to the beach!  And I’m very excited to share this find with you, given that a well-fitting bikini is as hard to find in SL as it is in RL.  Standard layers and appliers (for mesh bodies) are one option, but nothing beats mesh for the textured look of the bikini sitting on your skin.

But a mesh that fits – particularly a mesh body (such as my Slink Physique) is hard to come by.  While I can grudgingly adjust the bust, gaps at the hips, crotch, and butt are particularly hard to fit.

In that context, you’ll understand why I’m so excited about the South Beach bikini from !Rebel Hope.

SouthBeach_007

In addition to the standard mesh sizes,!Rebel Hope also offers meshes designed to fit Physique, Belleza, Freya, Isis, and Maitreya bodies.  Colours are sold separately, but metal trim is selectable from a HUD.  Leather braid and tie detail at the hip is amazing.

!Rebel Hope offers other styles as well in the same sizings.  Check out a demo today!

Resting during the hunt

blue LotD

Aeon and I went and looked at the Bats in the Belfry Hunt at the Truth about Bats & Avis Charity Festival today.  There are a number of vendors donating anything from 50% of sales to 100% !!! All money donated is going to support Bat World Sanctuary.

The hunt was pretty difficult, so I thought I’d rest on a roof for a while 🙂  I’ll show you some hunt gifts tomorrow.
