Consent

This is a FREE gift for all comers at Consent.  Just click the vendor, no group needed!

The dress is only in this color (lucky me, it’s one that works for me), and it comes in sizes for Lara, Freya, and a one-size-fits-all for classic avatars.


Suspended

Glutz recently released this awesome suspended shirt for an event.  It was up on their event board, and I thought it was for the upcoming round of the event, but it turns out I’d missed it at the previous go round.  Fortunately, it’s now available in the store, which is just as well, as I just couldn’t resist buying it!

There are versions available for Busty Fitted and Petite Torso, Lara, Freya, Hourglass, and V-Tech, each sold separately by the target body.  For example, you get the Busty and Petite versions in the Kemono pack, and two versions for Hourglass.

A HUD is included with a bunch of plain colors, and some naughty logos, but as with most things kemono, the outfit is modify, and the AO map is included if you want to make designs for it.

Anny

Here’s the latest FREE group gift from Scandalize.  Scandalize is FREE to join.

I think this is just the outfit for lazing around the house, with it’s sweater and socks to keep you warm.  It also comes with a pair of panties.  All three pieces are sized for Lara, Freya, Isis, Hourglass, and a one-size-fits-all for classic avatars.

As usual with Scandalize’s wonderful group gifts, this is a fatpack, and has not one, but three extensive HUDs, one for each piece.  I haven’t counted up all the buttons, but there are lots of them, so I’m sure you’ll be able to find something to suit you.  Both the dress and the socks have multiple parts that can be colored individually.


Blossom

I mentioned yesterday that there were six other FREE gifts at 1<3F.  This ultra short mini dress is one of them.

This is only sized for Lara, sorry you girls without 🙂  The straps on the leg are going to make undies difficult.

I paired this up with some thigh high boots, because, you know, boot height makes up for lack of dress length 🙂


Kittysuit

This is a must wear to the next latex and/or catsuit event!

This catsuit comes in sizes for Lara and Hourglass only.  It’s a FREE gift from I<3F (no group needed, just touch the display).

There is a materials enabled suit, which for latex is just a must have (and be damned to those people that aren’t running advanced lighting!  I want to see it!).  And, if you must, a non-material version.

It also comes with a ten color HUD.  A most generous gift!

Oh and pssst, while you’re there, there’s a pack of six past gifts also available for FREE.  Run on over and have a look!


Nebula Rave

Blue hosted her weekly set (Fridays at 15:00-17:00  SLT) at Sisters of Eden yesterday, and the theme was Rave in a Cave — and I threw a few pieces together…. and was the shiniest — and most complex — dancer on the floor.  Too good to pass up, I had to share it with you!

I’ve mixed and matched a few pieces here!  Skin and neon paint body tattoo are from Fallen Gods — the Lumina (Eclipse) skin combined with the HOLI Phalgun Purnima tattoo.

The dress is a daring little number from r2 A/D/E: the Shou (liquid purple) minidress.  There are boots, too, but I felt best shoeless for this party.

Perhaps the most amazing part of this outfit is the Starry Nebula (Half Spectrum Dark) from Tai’Dyed.  It’s this wonderful collection of mostly translucent flexis with embedded stars in different colours.  There are a TONNE of pieces to choose from that attach to different points on your body.  You can’t wear them all, you only get 38 attachments total!  And your complexity will be astronomical — I think I was north of 400,000.  But OMG it’s so much fun and so swirly!  You can’t really get a good feel for this without a video.

We lost Tai this past fall unexpectedly, but her shop is still open at the Spyralle sim at Mauna Waipio.  There’s a wonderful little memorial to Tai there as well, please stop by and pay your respects.

I hope you all have a wonderful weekend, my friends!  Be a source of light and colour to those around you… and most especially to yourself!

Aloha!  A hui hou kākou!

Pictures were taken on a private sim.  All poses were captures from the Estrella set of dances from Henmations.

If you’re a member of Blueberry’s group, you’re soo in luck!  For Black Friday, Blueberry handed out a L$300 gift certificate to all her group members!  If you missed it, be sure to check in the group notices for it.  And if you hurry, most of the store is 50% off!  Here’s what I picked up with my gift card.

The top, skirt with panties, and belt are all separate items.  Each of them comes sized for Lara, Freya, Venus, Isis, Physique, Hourglass, and a one-size-fits-all for classic avatars.  This seems to only be available as a fatpack, and comes with a massive HUD with numerous options to change the top, top fringes, and seashells, the skirt denim, panties, and buttons, and the belt and beads, all separately!

For L$375 (which is 50% off) it’s a fantastic buy and as usual from Blueberry, the quality is excellent!


Very

One last one from the Womenstuff Hunt (unless I do one more tomorrow lol)

This dress and hat combo comes with hair styles in various natural shades to fit the hat, which is very rare for a hunt item like this.  However, with no messing around, this hat was sized perfectly for my usual hair style, so if you wish to see the styles included in the pack, you’ll have to hunt down the item yourself!

The dress is in sizes for Lara, Freya, Isis, Venus, Physique, Hourglass, Ocacin, Voluptuous, and fitmesh in standard sizes for classic avatars.


Bakes on mesh lingerie

In case you’ve been hiding under a rock, Bakes on Mesh support is in the latest version of Firestorm.  I’m not game to wear an outfit relying on in out in public yet, at least until more people update to the latest viewer, but let’s see an example of how well it works.  Here’s an old favorite lingerie set from Carrie’s that is (mostly) system layers, but using BoM, we can now wear it on our mesh bodies!

In these photos, I’m wearing my normal Lara mesh body, with Slink hands and feet.  One of the shortcomings of BoM is detail for fingers and toes, so if you have mesh enhancements for hands and feet (obviously Lara comes with both, although I prefer my Slinks for the number of appliers I have) you should keep wearing them.

All the lingerie is system layers, with the exception of the hands and feet which are done with Omega appliers.  I’m wearing an undershirt for the bra, a shirt for the corset, underpants for the panties, and gloves and socks for the gloves and stockings.  And the skin you are seeing is the system skin (not as you may think, the Omega applied skin on Lara).  I hope you didn’t throw all your system skins away!

Currently for Lara, you need a BoM relay to get the bakes on mesh textures onto the body.  You can grab the relay from marketplace for free.  To use, it’s literally a one click and you’re done.  Take off your full body alpha as BoM automatically hides the system body parts you wear a layer for, and wear the system layers you wish.  That’s all there is too it!

And you must admit, the results are pretty good.  The huge advantage with this is that multiple textures are reduced to just two at most for the body.  So for example, if you want to wear a shirt, undershirt, and a tattoo, without BoM that would be potentially three 1024×1024 images you’d have to download to view.  With BoM, that’s reduced to a single texture, saving download bandwidth and video memory.  Win-win!

If that’s not enough, one of the limitations of mesh bodies was that you could only wear one thing on one layer.  For example, you could only wear one tattoo on your upper body.  With BoM, you can wear multiple, as the bake server will automagically combine them all for you into a single texture!

Eventually, Maitreya have said that they’ll release a new version for Lara, doing away with the need for the BoM relay.  I expect they may also do away with a couple of layers on the body too, reducing its complexity, for yet another win!

So, while you can completely ignore BoM if you like, and continue using appliers, in the right situation, everyone wins with BoM.  And of course, you also get all your old system lipsticks back (which I have a ton of!) as BoM will work with mesh heads too!
