Free from Just a Girl at Port Haifa

Just a Girl is vendor of the week at Port Haifa and there's not one but two free gift outfits to be picked up over the next few days. Both are wintry outfit - one is similar to a classic kirtle while the other is more like a camisk.

You'll find both just at the docks at Port Haifa - the special stall is almost right in front of you as you step off the ship. Wander a little bit further and you'll come across the freebies section with gifts from Shack, Delicious and others.

The hair featured is another gift - Truth recently sent out a variety pack of the Fernanda hair as a subscribo group gift. If you aren't a member, you can still sign up (free!) and retrieve the hair from the past notices.

Mother of Pterodactyls

Dragons? So last season.

The shoulder pet to have now is a baby pterodactyl, as all the fantastical fashionistas know.

The Mieville Midway fair and gacha festival, featuring steampunk, goth, and alternative designers opens at noon SLT on Tuesday October 15th, and the cute Pteri shoulder pet from Unrepentant is just one of the gacha prizes you can play for.

We Love Role-Play... with Soedara's new silks and Bite & Claw's Arcane skin!

Celestial Bidadari Nymph in Black humble - at round six of We <3 RP

I'm off to the airport tomorrow morning, so yes... this post is a little bit rushed, but I wanted to give you a quick heads up on some cool stuff coming your way!

Tomorrow sees the opening of the sixth round of We <3 Role-Play , and Soedara have put out a colour (black!) of their latest silks at a 40% discount.

Don't miss this opportunity, as it's one of Soedara's pricier silks, the full price is L$799. However, the outfit can be worn in so many different ways, and there are so many different pieces included (well over 50!). I don't have time to show all the options, luckily Ms Pronovost has included a 'cheat sheet' which I've posted at the end.

The skin I'm wearing is from Bite & Claw - it's called the Arcane skin and features tattoos of glyphs and esoteric symbols. These are on the skin, not on layers. Each pack includes 8 skins - dark or light brown, and four levels of cleavage. Also included are a shape, brows, bare feet (not worn) and Lola's appliers.

The poses are from Musa, who have put out a set of eyeshadows, fantasy poses, and gown poses for this round.

The sale at Soedara (hurry!)

~Soedara~ Classy Brown Exotic Sang Penari

If you want to take advantage of the sale at Soedara, better hurry, because it only runs through tomorrow (Monday 26 August).

Once you tp over to Soedara, you'll see that many of the outfits (not the very newest releases) have a colour option rezzed on the floor in front of the main vendor. This is the sale item, reduced in price by 30,40 or 50%.

Lots of gorgeous outfits are included - silks, kirtles, camisks, gowns for free women, and more!

A few of my favourite options presented below.

Someone of your own

After I put together this latest look, starring Junbug's new Stellata mesh gown, I figured it reminded me of Cersei Lannister... can only be the red dress and green eyes, I suppose!

Stellata is a lush new mesh creation which comes in a few variations. The red gown featured is Stellata in silk, a posher version of the Stellata peasant gown. The chief difference I can see is in the texturing - silk features a shinier texture for the main part, and the contrast panel at the bottom is a floral print.

The black gown, pictured at the end, is the Stellata maternity style, ideal for any free-companioned Gorean ladies who might be raising a family! It includes three sizes of bump for the different stages of your pregnancy.

Sweet nothing

Aaargh! So it turns out enabling hi-res snapshots is a one-ticket for crash city to me, thanks to whatever bug is lurking in the mandatory upgrade versions. Also, seems ambient occlusion (which smooths the edges on shadows) isn't working so well either. *Sigh*

On plus side, it's nice to have legacy search back, and... I don't see any glitch lines on these photos!

Anyways, a couple of pictures showing some more items from We <3 Role-Play. I've been posting a lot of gowns lately, so time to get back into skimpies, heh.

New from Wishbox: Caprice fae silks

Going to try and get a few posts done quickly now, so less talking and more pictures!

I recently picked up the new Caprice silks from Wishbox. In fact, I indulged myself with the fatpack, as Wisp's are always such great value.

New from Soedara: Adora Bejeweled chastity belt and silks

If you ever wanted to be simply dripping with jewels and precious metals, check out the latest release from Soedara - the Adora Bejeweled set.

This outfit is in fact a two-parter. One part is the chastity belt and body jewelry set, and the second part which you buy separately, is a pack of silks skirts.

Crayon Colour Challenge: Week 20, Big Dip O' Ruby

Big Dip o' Ruby

Big Dip o' Ruby

Breaking one of my self-imposed rules here - I already blogged this outfit (Warda from Bilo) in different colours for Fantasy Faire. But of the various possible matches for this berrylicious shades in my inventory, I was happiest with this, so... rules are made to be broken!

I ended up on the instantly recognisable Venexia sim to take the photos, feeling like Juliet (yes, I know that Shakespeare's play was set in Verona!)

Bunny girl

Nooooo... not that kind of bunny girl! Just a quick post mixing in a few items from We <3 Role-Play, including the bunny ears from Mabinogion, dress from C'est la vie!, and boots from The Lounge.

Crayon Colour Challenge: Week 18, Midnight Pearl

Midnight Pearl

Midnight Pearl

Back to normal, and back on schedule after Fantasy Faire (although there is still some hunting to be done!) This week's colour challenge is another one where my careful matching in-world doesn't seem to have come out quite so exactly on the blog page. No idea why that should be.... Nevermind!

This week's outfit is from Jessenia Delicious, and the accessories are from Soedara. Anklet and bracelets are from an Earendil silks set, but the necklace is one of the separately sold Earendil necklaces. (You do get a necklace with the silks, but the ones sold separately have an additional texture change feature).

Crayon Colour Challenge: Week 17, Manatee

Manatee

Manatee

Well that wasn't very smart. When I took the photo for week 17, I completely forgot to copy the outfit list... so the credits will be a bit less detailed than usual. And of course this photo is a bit late, due to Fantasy Faire!

I can tell you the outfit is Simplicity in Sky from On a Lark, and I probably picked it up on one of their fabulous 30L Saturday or 25L Tuesday rounds. It's mesh, and the outfit includes mesh gown and cape plus alphas, and a modesty shirt if you want to keep all your skin covered.

The hair is Marisol from Truth, and the skin (can't remember which) is from Curio. Both places have sales on at the moment. Gala Phoenix of Curio will be releasing whole new skin lines soon (hurrah) so her older designs are all half price. This means you can pick up one of her megapacks, containing over 100 skins, for 1000L. Insane, right?! The Curio sale (mainstore only) runs till midnight SLT on May 4.

Fantasy Faire 2013: Sax Shepherd Designs

Have you been to Fantasy Faire yet? All good things must end, and unfortunately the Faire's too brief existence - for this year - will come to an end on April 28. The Key of Hope hunt continues until May 19; hunt-lovers, don't miss!

Back to the job in hand. In these pics I'm wearing a very skimpy outfit - more a set of body jewelry really - from Sax Shepherd Designs. I blogged one of these outfits was for the One Voice benefit last summer, and it now seems to have taken up permanent residence at the top of my most popular posts.

(The poses btw are the Magical set from Two Cats again.)

New from Soedara - Romea mesh silks

TGI almost Friday... I'm exhausted! With that in mind, I'm just going to very quickly tell you about this recent mesh release from Soedara.

Romea is a set of mesh silks especially suited for those roleplaying in ancient Greece and Rome, and it comes in high and low caste variants. (There's also a sister set, not photographed here, called 'Of the Plains' which is more Gorean and features lots of earthy colours and different accessories.)

Fantasy Faire 2013: Yasmin from Luas, Magical poses from Two Cats

Another of Luas's RFL outfits, partial mesh Yasmin comes in a stunningly rich shade of green. I don't usually like green (see half my crayon colour challenge posts), but this beautiful emerald texture is striking and full of impact.

The poses are another RFL item, this time from c(Two Cats).  I love how they write the name btw - it means Two Cats, One Cup - even if the inspiration behind that name is rather less cute XD. DON'T GOOGLE IT. Although possibly you will find nothing under "two cats" so your innocence can remain intact a little longer.

Fantasy Faire 2013: Misha from Luas, poses from Musa

Misha is the first item from Fantasy Faire, and it's one of the new Relay for Life offerings from Luas. It's part mesh, featuring a full mesh skirt in five sizes, alpha, clothing layer top, prim shoulder pads, belt and crown, plus a triskel necklace to finish the look off.

Nubian Divinity silks from Soedara

Soedara - Nubian Divinity in Earth

Nubian Divinity is one of thelatest releases from Soedara, and these mesh silks are amazingly lavish and rich. They'd be perfect for a priestess, a sorceress, a princess of Mars, or the most pampered of exotic slaves.

The box is stuffed full of opulence, with lots of different options for you to experiment with. here are lots of jewels - as always - including anklets, bracelets, armbands, plus the showpiece collar and  jeweled bodice.

Crayon Colour Challenge: Week 12, Radical Red

Radical Red

Radical Red

The really interesting thing about 'Radical Red' is that it's.... pink. Well, I'd call it pink anyway, or magenta, or fuchsia... but not really red. And certainly not radical red. That just makes me think of Bolsheviks and MAC's 'Russian Red' lipstick.

I'm wearing a combination of two outfits here, one of which I blogged before. Luckily, I can get around my self-imposed  'not already blogged' rule because the rest of the outfit has never been seen on these pages. Yay!

March madness...

It's a madly busy March in Second Life this year. I finally got into the Arcade gacha festival (which is still very busy) and braved the Whore Couture Fair... for a couple of mins, until I decided I couldn't be doing with the lag. It's a bit quieter now though so I might go have another look around.

I did manage to grab what I really wanted from the WCF though - the Daenarys top from The.Plastik. It's intended as a clubwear outfit, but has great roleplay possibilities, as it's essentially a strip of fabric draped around the neck and secured with a tie under the bust... yup, just the sort of thing a Gorean slave girl might be given to wear. (Her's probably wouldn't have sequins though, but I couldn't resist.)

Crayon Colour Challenge: Week 10, Macaroni and Cheese

Macaroni and Cheese

Macaroni and Cheese

A couple of outfits I'd envisaged for this colour didn't quite work out, so I ended up puting together a mini-crini Gwen Stefani circa 'what you waiting for' look, starring the Bon Bon dress from Sn@tch (with a PG top added to avoid any potential nip slip!).
