Under a sodium sky

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!

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!
