A witching

blue LotD

Another hunt gift from the FREE Batty Booty Hunt at Cerri’s Booty.  This time a just in time witch outfit for Halloween.  The outfit comes with everything you see here with the exception of the hair.  Also included is a cauldron which I couldn’t squeeze into the photos 🙂

I can’t wait for Halloween, which is usually a very busy time in Second Life for parties and events!

  • Outfit including shoes, hat, broom, accessories by Cerri’s Booty (FREE hunt item)
  • Hair: Hat Hair by SF Designs (available for FREE in store)

And oh, as Aeon said the other day, hats are a pain in SL!  Alleviating the problem a little is the hair I am wearing from SF Designs, that is actually called “Hat Hair” 🙂  It doesn’t solve all your problems by it helps a bit.

LotD – Dark, Dark & Scary

For October’s group gift, Paisley Daisy – more noted for their sheer outfits – have come up with a stunning gown called “Vampira Couture”.  Your reporter struggled to come up with a way to show this off, and while not giving away too many secrets, you know vampires have been known to hang upside down like bats? 🙂

Paisley Daisy has a L$100 group join fee, but it’s well worth the investment just to obtain the past group gifts!

This close-up shows better detail on the arms of the dress.  And I must say, I never thought I would have an opportunity to wear this hair 🙂

  • Boots: Agathe Peep Toe Boots by SaCaYa

LotD – Copper

blue LotD

I’m excited to show you two hunt items from the Batty Booty hunt at Cerri’s Booty, which runs through until 31st October.  This is a FREE hunt.

The lovely matched gown and heels for Slink High is not in a colour I’d normally wear with my carrot mop, but I’ll make an exception because it’s fall 🙂  The dress is materials enabled and looks wonderfully sparkly with a modern viewer such as Firestorm.  If you don’t see the effect, check to see materials are enabled in Preferences->Graphics->General and make sure that “Bump map and shiny” is ticked under the “Shaders” section.

The gown also comes with a matching clutch, not shown in the photo.

Happy hunting!

LotD – A Look to Roar for

Aeon LotD

It’s perhaps entertaining, or at least inevitable, that with a name like ‘Aeon’ I’d love a store named ‘epoch’.  Belle Epoque (spelling variants aside!) is a lovely little designer featuring clothing from a variety of beautiful ages.  I have quite a few of their medieval styled dresses (all beautiful!), but wanted to showcase their latest group gift offering, straight out of the Roaring 20s: the lovely Marcela.  Marcela comes in the standard five sizes, with three separate colours (green, orange, and pink) in each.  Naturally, for my colouring, I preferred the green.   A&A’s Evelyn complemented the dress with a custom-tintable hair ribbon.

I won’t go into a tirade about the difficulty of hats again.  🙂  But I do love the lovely felt cloche hat included with the gift.  A nice tight updo could serve, but just working with a hairbase might be your best option.  Evelyn’s curls would be great under the brim, but too much in the back for the hat to hold without a desperate resize.

Please make sure to stop by Belle Epoque and take a look at their other offerings.

Double, double, toil and trouble

In time for All Hallows’ Eve, here are two lovely witch costumes from Brii Underground Wear.  Both are offered as gifts – one for Brii’s group, and one offered for the Second Life Frees & Offers group.

Brii’s group offering is Florentina, featuring a lovely mesh corset, skirt and boots.  Stockings and gloves are available in standard layers as well as appliers for Slink and WowMeh mesh bodies.

Witch_Florentina_002

Florbela is the offering for the SLF&O group, and is a much more festive outfit, suitable for any fancy dress party for the season.  Again, items are all mesh, with standard layers and Slink and WowMeh appliers for stockings.

Witch_Florbela_004

I’ll note, as many probably have recognised, that hats in SL are difficult without included hair.  The above Brii hats attempt to get around this by oversizing (both hats are resizable), but a better option is a hat with included hair, such as the one shown below from Argrace.

Witch_Florbela_009

  • Blouse, skirt, stockings and boots: Florbela (SLF&O group gift) by Brii Underground Wear
  • Hat & Hair: Wizard Hat – Women’s Ginger (2014 Halloween Gift) by Argrace
  • Skin: Chloe Europa by Glam Affair

These may be a tad flashy for Mistress Weatherwax, but I’m quite sure Nanny Ogg would heartily approve!

And as one a last safety tip, always be sure to remove your hat before bobbing for apples.  Remember – true witches may bow, but they never curtsy.

LotD – Groovy part 1

blue LotD

I put this outfit together for an event where the theme as “hippy beach party”.  I didn’t know if that was a bikini or something else, so I set up a two costume outfit using my RLVa clothing switcher HUD.  The bikini, jewels, and hip tie come from a marketplace store called Ifftya.  They nearly always have FREE or L$1 outfits available, so if you get lucky with the timing, you can get the outfit you want for little or no Lindens!

I’ll show you the other outfit tomorrow 🙂
