Luanes World

Lost in Space

Aeon Fashion, LotD, Reviews

Blue’s been showing a number of free gifties from Canimal lately, so I thought I’d better get my favourite one in!  Mercury is a beautiful two-piece Maitreya Lara fitmesh outfit that comes complete with a lovely 15-texture HUD.  

The top is really adorable with the belly tie and a cute little peter-pan collar and cuffs. But…. are you really *sure* this is going to put my atoms all back in the right order on the other side?

I don’t usually talk about the poses I feature, but that top one (Flight 15) is from a lovely new pose shop that I recently discovered.  Poseidon Poses features a lot of action poses, particularly action-hero and fantasy poses.  They’re really quite remarkably done, you’ll see some more of their work from me in the future.

Canimal has a lovely wall of free gifties, so stop on by and take a look!

Mahalo!  A hui hou!

Throwback Thursday

Aeon 2 Comments LotD, Moments

Okay, let’s start by saying I am NOT promoting anything that I’m wearing today.  🙂

I was going on a bit of an inventory cleaning binge, and threw this out as I was getting rid of lots of old and unworn stuff… but then went back and retrieved it.  It’s sort of perfect timing — I’ve been in SL for four years now… and it’s rather amazing.  I know, many of you might have been here much longer than that, and that’s all right — I know you’ve seen more.

From the progress we’ve made, four years is a apparently a long time in SL.  It feels like forever, and no time at all.

  • Iffyta — Purple Butterflies Jeans Outfit (marketplace link)
  • [L.Warwick] — Savannah Ankle Strapped Heels (Grape Leather)
  • :: envi :: — Sabra Ear Pierceing – Venus
  • Kalina’s Design — Lesbian Symbol Diamond Belly Piercing (marketplace link)
  • Luanes World — Try to Forget You #2 pose

So I was cleaning out my inventory, and stumbled on this purple butterflies outfit.  It’s the oldest outfit I have, not quite four years old, but probably only a couple months shy of it.  Standard layers, with mesh bits for the sleeve cuffs.  Even the shirt collar is just textured on the standard layer.  For the record, I have those heels in three different colours and they’re still my favourite style of heels in SL!

We probably all have these hiding in our inventories, in our wardrobes… and we put it on and go “EEEEK DON’T LOOK, I’M HIDEOUS!”

I know I did.  I’m mostly embarrassed with how… grumpy… I feel that I looked!

But on second thought, I stopped…  you know, this was me.  I was so proud and happy of this.  I splurged on SLink feet shortly after getting into SL, and some nice mid shoes, and if I recall correctly, the hair.  WOW, does that hair not play well with background alphas!  But I still love this outfit… I would die for it in fitmesh!

It’s amazing, right now, to think “I was so proud of how I looked”… and to think how far we’ve come, even in just four years.

There are a lot of times we look at SL and say “dammit, SL, why can’t you fix this problem, or that problem”… but it’s important, too, to look and say “Thanks, SL, for adding this… for expanding this… for creating this”.

Thanks, SL, for giving me four happy years.  Thanks, my friends, for walking with me through this little venture.

Mahalo!  A hui hou!

 

Macabre underpinnings

Aeon Events, Fashion, Reviews, Sponsored

Everything needs a good underpinnings, a strong foundation… what’s holding you up?  Melora and Oubliette have some lovely Slick Leggings for you at  Suicide Dollz right now!

Oubliette‘s beautiful fitmesh leggings have some amazing texture to them — these aren’t appliers, you can see the little wrinkles and ridges to them!  They’ve also got a nice glossy sheen that comes out very nicely in the photos.  Slick Leggings come in your choice of 10 wonderfully dark textures, as well as a fatpack featuring a bonus texture.

JHC‘s Faunwest boots are cute little ankle boots, but they’re a bit disappointing.  I know, it’s dark enough that you can hardly see them here, and that’s not entirely an accident.  The ad claims that they work with a variety of mesh bodies, but they are NOT fitmesh rigged, they appear to simply be several different copies that have been size-adjusted to be ‘close’ to right.  That’s not bad, but it took a bit more adjustment to get it just right for my own body size/shape.

These are some really lovely leggings, and in enough different textures that you’re sure to find one or two or ten that are just perfect for your sense of the darke.  Stop by Suicide Dollz and take a look!

Mahalo!  A hui hou!

My namesake

Aeon Fashion, LotD, Reviews

Two lovely friends found the perfect dress for me — Mahina by [AdN] Designs.  It’s a light and fluttery beach dress, a perfect little flirty fashion as you hit the waves.

Mahina features a lovely little colour-texture HUD, but I think I’m in love with the rainbow!

Mahalo nui loa to Frani and Keko for my lovely gift.  You two are so sweet and I’m so happy that you’re part of my life!  And thank you, dear readers, for stopping by to share!

Mahalo!   A hui hou!

All in time

Aeon Events, Fashion, LotD, Reviews

The Fallen Gods Decennial is on, and WOW are there a lot of exciting things happening!   There’s a huge hunt as well as lots of side events.  One of the little fun things is a little matchmaker fortune-teller booth at Fallen Gods, and you can win the Chronos Coal Black full avatar.  On top of that, the hunt item from Fallen Gods is an alternate skin for Chronos, in water gold.  So I, of course, had to play mix and match with them!   Chronos features a variegated skin, monokini, headpiece, hair, staff, and backpiece, as well as a little swirl of butterflies.  It’s all here!  

The full avatar gift from the matchmaker at Fallen Gods includes the Coal Gold skin, but I swapped out the hair for Empty Gold from Magika.  It’s a little more my colour, and still works with the skin!  The backpiece and staff might be a little much for dancing, but are fantastic for making your shining presence known!

Chronos also comes with some bluer-than-blue omega eye appliers,  which are pretty decent, but I happened to pick up a lovely pair of Schadenfreude Moon in my eyes from the recent The Coven hunt, which seemed just perfect for this outfit! 

The Fallen Gods Decennial goes on for the whole month of October, but stop by soon!  Enjoy the hunt and all the associated events, there’s too much fun out there to be had!

for the evening breeze

Aeon Fashion, LotD, Reviews

A moonlit night is the perfect time for a stroll along the water’s edge… and EvelineInTheBox has just the loveliest sexy things for it.

Eveline’s Nandi is perfectly daring for a light breeze in off of the water.  Care to go for a walk with me?

Nandi is an older piece from EvelineInTheBox, and is available in the standard rigged mesh sizes plus a single fitmesh for the standard SL body.  I was able to fit it pretty nicely with my Maitreya Lara‘s alpha zones nevertheless.  Eveline does have mesh-body-fitmesh on newer pieces, and you’ll see some of those from me in the future.

I hope that your Monday is bright and shining!  Aloha!  A hui hou!

Nanihi is a Tahitian name, generally translated as “total woman” or “complete woman”…. this outfit sure feels that way!  Stop by SWANK today, we’re running out of July.  But there are so many lovely things there that you’ll never run out of Summer!

Mahalo!  A hui hou!
