Beyond the neon of a million signs, under the reflected glow of the sodium lights, above the teeming sidewalks, she waits… and watches…

Aloha kākou! Hello everyone!

I was taken out on a shopping spree for my rez-day at the CYBER Faire (open from March 4 to March 24, 2021), and OMG it was so much fun. I’ve been wanting to improve my cyber/sci fi/futuristic outfit/costume situation for a long time, and have had a lot of disappointment at sci-fi/cyber type events (just bad luck?) but the current cyber faire is just FULL of goodies that I couldn’t pass up.

Let’s start off with the G647 Control BOM/applier bodysuit from GRAVES Fetish and Cyberpunk. GRAVES has long been creating some of the sleekest and sexiest body suits for your sci-fi/cyberpunk needs, and as the capabilities and appearance of clothing in SL has improved, so has theirs. Yes, it’s still appliers, but now BOM is added, and they make good use of materials — texture and specular layers. I’m a big fan of BOM here: it’s supposed to be skin-tight, but the texture adds just enough pop that it looks right. The big advantage of BOM, of course, is low complexity impact, and a really big favourite is its ability to be worn on any body shape. I love the Lara Petite chest, but the available clothing items for it are still few. No problem with BOM! Control includes an unrigged mesh collar, because you just need that three-dimensionality there. I added an older pair of G322 combat boots that I had on hand — also from GRAVES — to go with the outfit. The gloves are included as part of the Control BOM.

And OMG, I just love the new Synchronicity helmet from .:Bison:.. It’s sold in individual base colours, and also available in a fatpack. Several lighting effects and colours are available. The helmet visor has an opaque/transparent option, and a lovely little animation (with gestures and sound effects) for opening/closing the helmet. You have GOT to pick up a demo of this, but be warned — to pick up a demo is to doom yourself to purchasing at least one. I found it really easy to fit over the Dext hair from A&Y Bunker CyberShop

One last goodie — the beautiful Celestial tattoo from .::Nefekalum::... This one didn’t come from CYBER Faire, but rather from the March edition of We Love Role Play. But wow it fits in so well, I love the whole look together here. It’s busy, but I feel like it just makes my face pop (in a good way!)

I hope you get the chance to get out and enjoy the Faire. There’s more to come that I have to share with you! This is definitely my favourite Cyber event!

Aloha! A hui hou kākou!

Little Red Riding hood

Jaz Events, Fashion, Reviews

So I did another DJ set, this time with a forest theme… and as a follow on to my last Alice in Wonderland outfit, I did a similar one for Little Red Riding Hood 🙂

I used the same laced demi-top with half sleeves CB155 from Cool Big Bird, this time colored red (and of course still with the transparency set to be a bit sheer). I added the same shoulder puffs from the Ninianne gown by Arwen’s Creations, this time in red; and the same Lolita Lace Cuffs by Sweet Thing. In place of Alice’s apron I used the Baude skirt from Gunshot, adjusting it in color and using the lace trim. The hood is the Winter Cape from Caverna Obscura; fitting hair under such things can always be a challenge but I found the right thing, some short resizable hair, F106, from KMH available at this month’s Salon 52 hair event.

Did I mention there was nothing under this tiny skirt either? Did I need to? 😀 The boots here are the Tana Boots from Reign, along with the same lace stocking appliers I used in the Alice oufit, from !Love-Lei!.

I’m off through the woods to granny’s house! Cheers!

Mix and Match – Kawaii Edition

Jaz Fashion, Reviews

I have a soft spot for cute… and then I just go nuts and keep tossing things at an outfit to make it cuter, lol

So here I’ve done my usual thing and just gone totally to town with everything except the kitchen sink. This first one is my unicorn look, with three major pieces from three vendors with three different unicorn patterns.

The Hawt jacket from Promagic comes in 30 prints, as singles and a fatpack, and is just for Maitreya mesh. I added some cute lace cuffs from Sweet Thing to it. The jacket fits just right to be worn without a bra or shirt underneath, if you are so inclined (as I am). The skirt is Brianna from CandyDoll, available in fatpacks of 10 solid light colors, 10 solid dark colors, and 30 patterns; or as singles, for all the major mesh bodies. It has a nice cut up one side with a long mesh tie. The shoes/socks are the Smexy Babydoll Heels by Candy Kitten, in fatpacks for 12 solids, and 12 patterns, for all major mesh bodies.

Now if you want silly cute, I got that too! The basis for this one is the Crazy Kawaii outfit from Envious. It is old school, for system bodies, but hey does that stop me? Not on your life! I use all the mesh bits and then add my own mesh top and skirt and there you go, one super silly (but cute) outfit.

The mesh bits of Crazy Kawaii come in five sizes and include the winged headband, arm and leg warmers, hoove boots, and backpack. I supplemented these with an applier top from Butterfly Design’s Pauline outfit; and my fave full perm skirt, Angel from Gunshot. For the latter, I textured it to match the knit pattern of the Pauline top.

To round out this round, here is a sweet-but-not-too-sweet ensemble built around the Celebrity Rebel leather jacket by Dirty Princess. This features exquisite detailing all around, and a proudly open front to display… whatever bra or shirt you might choose to wear. Or not. In this case I chose to wear (barely) one of my full perm bras from Cool Big Bird along with the Angel skirt from Gunshot which I textured to match the jacket’s color and patterns. The shoes are Candy Kitten’s Fairy Princess Heels that include the garters.

The jacket features a texture HUD of 20 pastel colors and a metal changer of silver and gold; it comes for Maitreya, Slink, and TMP mesh bodies. The shoes come with 14 styles in a HUD and are for all the major mesh bodies.

Who’s ready to come do some cute Kawaii-style shopping with me? Cheers!

Bounty Hunter

Sometimes you see an item over here, and then later you see see another item over there, and you say, “Oooo I wonder if those would work together… and more importantly, actually fit together without mesh pokies.” Fortunately such was the case here, where I had originally seen the high-waisted leather legging appliers from Indyra and thought “Those are just begging for some sort of short-waist coat…” And lo and behold a few days later I find the perfect candidate in the Eclipse Design Nemo jacket!

The coat is nicely detailed with mesh bits, coming in five colors, along with six interior shirt colors and an option to turn the coat tails on or off. It is available for the major mesh bodies.

The Aziza high waist appliers include an edgy retro inspired top along with a pair of glossy high-waisted leggings. It was the leggings that caught my eye, both for the high waist part (very hard to find!) and the great fold detail, particularly at the knees. Aziza is available in a fatpack & in single colors and appliers are included for Belleza, Maitreya, Omega, Slink & TMP.

This is an ensemble that will really show you mean business!

Oh wait… you said you really just wanted to see the car???

Well there ya go! 😀

Now if you will pardon me, I have to catch someone before they leave! Cheers!

Witchy Witchy 2

Jaz Fashion, Reviews

Wait I have another witch costume! Toward the other end of the color spectrum here, and another one of my mix and match specials!

The basis for this one is the beautifully detailed Locus Pocus Witch outfit by IrriSIStible. It consists of mesh hat, bra, two versions of the skirt with optional veil, bangles, appliers for the gloves and socks with a nice sparkle pattern, and two versions of a wand, one of which is animated. The outfit looks terrific on its own but you know I can never leave well enough alone and I just had to add more stuff… flexi sleeves and skirts from two different outfits, a choker, arm and leg garters, sparkle body dust, star particles… You know, maybe I can add just one more thing…

 

In this closer view you can see the wonderful mesh detailing that IrriSIStible achieves.

Locus Pocus is available for the major mesh bodies.

Did you save some candy for me? Cheers!

Witchy Witchy

Jaz Fashion, Reviews

Spoooooky! And maybe a li’l bit sexy too… Neverwish serves up a nice little treat for you, with the KittyButt outfit. It includes Bento kitty ears, the top, a thong, and a skirt with an integrated Bento kitty tail. One cool feature of this set is that as the tail and skirt are one item, when the tail bobs up and down with the animation, the skirt part it is attached to moves with it in a nice natural way.

KittyButt is for Maitreya bodies and is available in 10 colors, with a hud for changing 2 trim colors and 6 fur colors. The bracelets are a separate item but come with a hud with matching colors to KittyButt.

Trick or treat, my sweet friends! Cheers!

Daydream Romper

Jaz Fashion, Reviews

Recently at the Dark Style event I came across a lovely romper and boot combination outfit from Beautiful Dirty Rich. The romper is available in three different fat packs, one with 20 patterns, one with 11 crochet designs, and another with 11 lace designs. The boots are available in a fat pack with 11 solid colors and 20 pattern colors, matching those of the romper.

I love all the various pattern and color options, and it’s always a delight when a vendor creates a set allowing you to color match boots with an outfit!

Both romper and boots are now available at BDR’s main store so you don’t need to go through the event to find them (it’s a great event but quite laggy!).

It may be getting a little bit chilly for such a short style, but hey it is always warm in SL! Cheers!

Autumn Faerie

Jaz Fashion, Reviews

I go to a lot of events and often discover someone new (for me) with just the right thing. The Leaves of Time faerie outfit by Trinity is a delightful set of… well, leaves! But it exudes just the right air of happy (and sexy) fae-ness. The set includes the top, bottom, arm vines, and leg vines, along with a bonus shirt that covers a little bit more that shown here.

Leaves of Time comes with an eight color HUD of various fall colors, and each of the parts of the outfit can be colored separately. I found the set provides the perfect foundation for adding in lots of fun detail items with an autumn motif.

Come dance through the forest with me, dear friends! Cheers!

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!

Moon Dancer

Jaz Fashion, LotD, Reviews

Sometimes one needs to look outside the box to get an interesting look. As my followers know, I am fond of mixing and matching components: a top from here, a thong from over there… and soon you have a new, and unique, look that isn’t just bought off the store rack or MP listing.

In this brief entry today let me show you one such outfit. As is often the case for me the spark was one outfit, or more specifically parts of an outfit. Here it was Moon Dancer from May’s Soul, a gacha seller of fun and cute products. I bought most of the parts of Moon Dancer last year but it took some time to see how best to use it, as it was not fit mesh or Maitreya-sized though it can be resized. So I put on my thinking cap.

The Moon Dancer parts I had were a thong, wrist bracelets with little wings, and little shoulder wings. I knew I had a set of blue and white big wings to match, from Ramp’s Rosemary outfit. So I started pulling in more parts: a feather collar from The Forge, along with their Valkryie feathered headpiece. I wasn’t happy with the feathered boots I was finding, so I used another set of those same Valkyrie wings and adapted to my fave Gothic Lolita boots from Candy Kitten. Finally to tie it all together I tossed in the Baika outfit I highlighted last week, from r2 Fashion.

The result is a winged and feathered outfit that is now more than just what each of the parts were. So with a little creative thinking, you can extend the possibilities already in your inventory.

  • Moon Dancer Feather Harness white, Right and Left cuff white, Thong white by May’s Soul (not currently available but May’s Soul items are sold here)
  • Outfit: Baika by r2 Fashion
  • Feather Collar and Valkyrie ears (head and boots) by The Forge
  • Armlets: Fawn by KC
  • Bracelets: Azalea by Elle Boutique
  • Boots: Gothic Lolita Boots by Candy Kitten
  • Wings: Rosemary outfit by Ramp
