It’s Gau

This is a group gift for members of the teleporthub.com group.  The group is a one time join fee of L$10, which gives you access to gifts from creators all over the grid.

There are only three sizes with this: Lara, Legacy, and Hourglass.  The dress is materials enabled and (I hate to say it) displays that “just too much” sheen that I think I’ll start calling “polyester” haha!  And yes, I dyed my hair for this.  I like floral prints on black but the pink on this was a little too much pink.  A little more black and I would have worn my usual color.

The matching heels are included, and come in the same three sizes.  Note the “Hourglass” size is really for SLink High, so you can certainly wear these with other bodies that you’re wearing Slink High feet with (as I’m doing in the pictures).  The detailing is very nice, but the shine again detracts from them just a little.  I’ve wondered before on the blog if creators look at things they’re material enabling under projector lights at all?

While I was at It’s Gau yesterday, I picked up this FREE gift for members of the Mesh Body Friends group too.  MBF is FREE to join.

This is an older mesh, and sizes are limited to a one-size-fits-all fitmesh, plus the five standard mesh sizes for classic avatars.  The lace is a very pretty touch, and the belt is a really nice added detail!

Here’s a cute gift for members of the teleporthub.com group.  The group is L$10 to join, and gives you access to FREE gifts from creators all over the grid.

The top is fitted for Lara, Freya, Isis, Venus, Hourglass, Physique, plus four fitmesh standard sizes.  The shorts are sized the same with the an additional size for TMP.  The sandals are included and are sized for Slink Flat, Maitreya, Belleza, plus an unrigged version for classic avatars.

Skin-tight

I’m a big fan of clothing that plays well with a mesh body.  Certainly the top-of-the-pops is the more recent trend in mesh-body-specific fitmesh (yes, I do a little squeeeee when a product comes out in Slink Fitmesh) — but appliers certainly can be great as well.  Fitmesh gives that three-dimensional texture which is (to me) preferable, but a well-done applier can be fantastic with a skin-tight outfit.  Luana, the latest group gift from *It’s Gau*, is a great example!

Now, time for a little pet peeve.   Maybe you’ve run into this problem –my avi height is a fair bit above normal for RL (1.95 m/6’3″), yet many designers make mesh for avis that are clearly much much larger.  This outfit comes with a lovely set of armlets and bracelets, each of which have resizer scripts – but while the minimum size of the armlets is not bad, the minimum size for the bracelets is at least twice as big as they need to be to fit!  Now, I don’t think that my wrists are ridiculously small, but that’s just silly.  Now, having made mesh, I understand that there are limits to shrinking certain mesh sizes, but there are some clever ways around that.  Any mesh maker worth their pixels really should remember that not everyone in SL is a giantess!

I don’t know how long Luana will be at *It’s Gau*, but stop by and take a look!

Mahalo!  A hui hou!

This is another gift from the MGS&N Christmas stash.  The dress is in rigged mesh in the standard sizings with a fitmesh dress I’m wearing with Lara here.  There are appliers for the lace for Slink, Belleza, TMP, Omega, and Maitreya.  Another generous gift from a talented creator!
