On the run

Aeon Fashion, Gadgets, LotD, Reviews

The Sisters of Eden recently had a cyberpunk-themed party (DJd by our very own Jaz) and I had a lot of fun putting together an outfit that I really wanted to share with you.  This really was a fun outfit, as I assembled it from a variety of bits and pieces!

  • :::SOLE::: — Shinkan glasses (unrigged mesh) (Marketplace link)
  • :::SOLE::: — Luna Headset (unrigged mesh) (Marketplace link)
  • Profectus — Time Brace
  • Xtra Ordinary — Dragonsuit Top applier and collar from Sith Lady costume  (Maitreya/Physique/Hourglass/Freya/Isis/Venus fitmesh, Omega/Maitreya appliers)
  • Xtra Ordinary — Coat from Underworld Deathdealer full costume  (Maitreya/Physique/Hourglass/Freya/Isis/Venus fitmesh, Omega/Maitreya appliers)
  • Xtra Ordinary — Combat belt from Black Widow full costume  (Maitreya/Physique/Hourglass/Freya/Isis/Venus fitmesh, Omega/Maitreya appliers)
  • [The Forge] — Cypher pants (Oil) (Gacha) (Marketplace Link)
  • Silvan Moon Designs  —  Bento Gloves, exclusive for Fallen Gods Decennial
  • GRAVES — G322 Combat Boots (unrigged mesh)
  • BAXE — Miss China – Gala 2018

I didn’t want to go all Tron-glowy, but cyberpunk does require some supporting gadgets!  I found just the right things at :::Sole:::.  I’m wearing two separate pieces here,  the Luna headset and the Shinkan glasses.  Both have huds for texture and glow, and both are unrigged mesh – so they’re resizable!

The boots were a tricky find — I wanted something that buckled and looked meant for action — not silly oversexed high-heel boots.  But I also needed something that could accommodate the mesh leggings without having surface conflicts (‘peek-through’). Graves’ Combat Boots are just right — with male and female versions so it’s not just a genderless muck boot.

I’m always reminded how much fun it is to assemble an outfit from bits and pieces.  I totally love playing with a role-playing costume like this!

Mahalo, my friends!  A hui hou kākou!

Bird of Paradise

Aeon Fashion, LotD, Reviews

Aloha, my dear friends!  I can’t decide whether Eclectic Stars‘ Bird of Paradise print for the Buffy dress is boho or roaring 20s, so perhaps it is a little of each?  I’ll definitely be wearing it both ways!

Buffy is available in all your favourite fitmesh bodies: all three Belleza, both SLink, and Maitreya.

I couldn’t help but shoot it in one of my favourite sims for that era, Chicago 1920’s.  There’s an awful lot to explore, but it is a RP sim, so please come in era-appropriate attire!

Mahalo!  A hui hou!

A touch of darke

Aeon Events, Fashion, LotD, Reviews, Sponsored

I’ve been blogging about Petite Mort for a while now, but I don’t know how many of you know about Melora’s more recent venture, Oubliette!  Oubliette has a different flavour than Petite Mort, a bit of goth, a bit of darkness — or as one of my favourite book series says, “darkeness”.  That darkeness fires Lucretia, an exclusive art-deco inspired gown for the Midsummer Enchantment event!

Lucretia comes in fitmesh sizes for Maitreya, TMP, both SLink and all three Belleza bodies, and there’s a lovely palette of six colours for you to choose from.

  • {Way} — Katherine 03 pose

I really love the beautiful way that Melora has worked the angular lines of the dress into the more flowery curves at the top and at the hem.   That’s always seemed the beautiful paradox of art deco to me, drawing from art nouveau, merging the linear and the curved.

Stop by Midsummer Enchantment, visit Oubliette, and revel in the darke.

Mahalo!  A hui hou!

Vintage Vogue

Aeon Events, LotD, Reviews, Sponsored

A beautiful dress out of the roaring twenties, opulence and elegance embodied in Silvan Moon Designs’ Vintage in Vogue, exclusive for the ongoing Vintage Fair!

Vintage in Vogue comes in fitmesh for Maitreya Lara and SLink Physique, with separate gown, overskirt, and an unrigged fur stole.  The lovely gloves are bento-enabled, fit for Maitreya and SLink hands, and come in both black and white colours!

  • Model Pose #34, created by Michael Firefly

This is a lovely treasure of a gown, perfect for a period dance, for roleplay, perfect for re-capturing the glamour of an earlier age.  Stop by The Vintage Fair and pick up a demo, take a look before this gown, too, is but a memory!

Mahalo!  A hui hou!

Dorothea

Aeon Fashion, LotD, Reviews

Sometimes I pick up a new dress or a bit of jewelry and then don’t get to write about it for a while (as I’m sure you’ve noticed).  I’ll put on an outfit and think Wow, that looks great! and realise that I haven’t shared it with you.  Dorothea from Sexy Princess is just such a treasure!

Dorothea comes in the standard five rigged mesh sizes plus fitmesh for your favourite mesh bodies: Maitreya Lara, SLink Physique and Hourglass, all three Belleza bodies, and TMP.  There are a host of colours to choose from as well!

  • GLITTER — Back Pose (Pose Lover event gift)

EarthStones‘ Flight of Fancy is perfect for the butterfly motif, and one of the three texture options just matches up perfectly with the green!

Happy Aloha Wednesday!  Be happy today!

InterSections

My lovely friend Sarah introduced me to the Gem Preiz’s The Anthropic Principle (supported by the Linden Endowment for the Arts) a week ago, and rather challenged me to incorporate it in my photographs.  You can learn much more about the sim here.   It’s a large sprawling cityscape in black and neon, and is truly amazing to wander about!

It seemed a good opportunity to show you Spyralle’s new offering for Genre this month, the Face Inter Face.

  • GRAVES — G257 Mainframe Bodysuit (blue)
  • Spyralle — Face Inter Face Headpiece and HUD (exclusive at Genre)
  • AITUI — Mechanical Wings –  Majesty Snowbird +HUD Rare (Gacha item)
  • [Kikay] — Mega Lay Cutie pose

Face Inter Face calls back to an earlier piece that Spyralle did for Genre some years ago.  It’s glasses, a heads-up display, and a restricted message sender all at the same time.  It features a texture-change hud to turn the sunglasses on/off and select one of four different colours, as well as select textures for the little balls and their support pieces.  You can’t see the headband with my hair, but the headband terminates in ring-like headphone speakers for quality audio reception.  😉

Face Inter Face allows the user to project one of several little fractal images on the screen, as well as a couple of emoticons and (my favourite) the letters “afk” and “brb”.  It’s very cute!

A lovely extension of this would be to allow the user to drop in their own small image and toggle through those for the heads-up display.  I’ll have to suggest that to Kerryth…..

For now, stop by Genre before June 11 and pick up a demo.  This is a lovely tech piece, and will easily complement a futuristic or post-apocalyptic get-up.  Or anything else you might think of pairing it with!

Mahalo!  A hui hou!

Catch my drift

Aeon LotD, Reviews, Sponsored

A late evening in the city and unable to sleep… so I slip on a short yukata, and feeling very daring, slip through the neon-sparkling night for a little bit of a late-night snack…

Eclectic Stars has a very nerdy/geeky chic, but this is just a stunning little yukata and obi.  I keep tugging at the bottom edge a bit… but am also a bit flushed at the excitement of it.  It does show off my legs.  🙂

  • GLITTER — Back Pose (Pose Lover event gift)

I’d shown off EarthStones‘ Flight of Fancy necklace before.  I went back and picked up the long version… and found that layering the long and the short gave a lovely looped appearance.  

Give Jadziya at Eclectic Stars a little love — stop by and see what she has for you.  Mahalo!  A hui hou!

All that is gold

Aeon Fashion, LotD, Sponsored
All that is gold does not glitter,
Not all those who wander are lost;
The old that is strong does not wither,
Deep roots are not reached by the frost.

– Bilbo, as relayed by J.R.R.Tolkein

It’s time to move, I want to make like that train and go… to see the road.  I’m not in search of myself, I know who I am…. but I need to see who you are.  I need to feel the Earth beneath my feet and the wind on my face.

Are you coming?

Spirited

Solas and Bee at Silvan Moon Designs have a wonderful treat for you at Shiny Shabby!  Spirit Maiden is a lovely two-part mesh gown (gown and overskirt) for SLink Physique and Maitreya Lara in five wonderful colours!

I really love this necklace.  Crescent Moon from Caverna Obscura features a little bling spot, but I’ll admit that I’m not crazy about bling.  Fortunately, the necklace is mod, so I could go in, edit linked, find the bling and remove it.  Perfect!

Spirit Maiden is available in five lovely shades but ONLY for Lara and Physique mesh bodies.  SL fashion definitely seems to be favouring these two bodies!  Stop by Shiny Shabby, pick up a demo, and give it a test drive!
