R2! (No not the Star Wars robot)

Jaz Fashion, Reviews

Here we mean R2 Fashion, a clothier with a unique style all their own. R2 specializes in sci fi outfits with a definite sexy bent to them and often with a great deal of, shall we say, “transparency”…

R2’s clothes feature slick metallic textures and curve hugging designs. For the Kagura outfit, I added sleeves from Caverna Obscura’s Wistera Wind outfit.

A bonus with Kagura is this adorable electro-bunny light up tail that gently pulses.

The Kachou outfit swirls around the breasts and adds discreet detailing to cover the important bits. As with all of R2’s ensembles, one buys the individual components, usually consisting of at least separate boots, panties, and tops, and the occasional additional parts such as modesty covers.

  • Outfit: Kachou by R2 Fashion
  • Hair: Tanya 1 by Calico
  • Ears: Angelica Headdress by Ayashi (gacha item)
  • Pose: The Lily Series – Four by an lar

In the Baika outfit we can see the almost plastic look that R2 achieves, making full use of material rendering.

And finally, in the Seiga outfit, we see more of the sharply defined futuristic lines combined with some elegant curving sleeves, and the teasing transparency at which R2 excels.

The number of colors for each outfit varies, but is generally anywhere from five to eight colors. Fat packs are also available which may include exclusive colors as well. All of the outfits are for Maitreya Lara only.

While R2 has their own store as linked above, they are also a regular contributor at the Collabor88 event, where the components of the outfits are generally available at a lesser price than when in the normal store inventory.

Time to suit up my sweet friends! Cheers!

Furr-ocious!

Our good friend Kat really likes her furries!  Here she’s showing off a really cool vixen outfit.  Furr-ocious 🙂

She’s taken a mix of bits and bobs from various outfits and combined them into this wonderful vixen which looked super cool the other day.  She has a habit of changing outfits often, and when she hit this one I went “Whoa! I need to photograph that!”  She was happy to oblige!

Let me see if I can hit the highlights of her look.  First, this is all on the Utilizator 2.0 Avi.  She’s taken the skin and shape from the Fruitsalad Orange Fox avi pack, plus the paws, feet. head, and tail from the Vixen Chinchilla Mod, and added a skirt and top from clothes from the S4 outfit.  Told you she was keen 🙂

Finishing touches include the knee pads and ankle bangles.  I think you will agree with me that this looks absolutely fantastic!

This is a really nice top and skirt combo from SkitzoFreniks Designs, a new designer for me.  Someone called the Midnight Mania board in SLF&O so I went and slapped it 🙂

The top and skirt are one piece and come in standard rigged sizes plus fitmesh for classic, Maitreya, Slink, and Belleza.

The detailing on the sleeves is really nice!

I also wanted to specifically point out this hair from Ayashi.  I picked it up at the 2015 Hair Fair and I don’t think I’ve ever worn it because it came in just one shade of red that didn’t appeal to me.  But while looking for something to match with this outfit, I noticed that while it is mesh hair, it’s modify.  Usually that doesn’t mean much as you still can’t resize or move it, but… you can tint it 🙂

That’s exactly what I did with this hair.  I used a very light green tint to change it from a much more purplish red to a color I was much happier with.  This is a great tip to keep in mind for anything that you have mod rights for (don’t forget to take a backup first!)
