Winter lavender

I've always been a big fan of  Kaethe Dyrssen's Leafy skins, so I was really happy to see a new release - her first in ages - pop up in her Flickr feet. And, guess what, appliers are included... for Loud Mouth,  Nyam Nyam, Phat Azz, Tangos, and Slink Hands & Feet.

At the moment, there's just one pack of Mirabai available, which includes three skins in two pale tones with different brow options.  Also included are 25 different tattoo layers with makeups, freckles and so on, brow shapers, and cleavage enhancer layers.

The skin is young, fresh, and pretty; and I think 875L is not a bad price for what you get in the box. If you like pale skins, I definitely recommend that you grab a demo and check it out.

My outfit is new from Soedara - the very smexy Wyntir camisk.  It's hud-driven, letting you choose between five different tones and clean or dirty versions. You also get upper arm bands, bangles, and a belly jewel.

While short hair is not traditional for slaves, I thought this tousled style from Elua could make for some fun roleplay. Perfect if you've had your hair cropped as a punishment, for travel, or due to illness.

The lavender headdress is from Lode, and it's at the current round of The Secret Affair. The theme is "Untamed Purity", and if you haven't already visited, be warned! The event is so full of delectable and desirable objects that you're going to need a wallet full of Linden dollars...

Fifty Linden Friday again...

My favourite Fifty Linden Friday round is always the one which includes The.Plastik - and that's today. There are two special offers out today, one of which is the Raine outfit set. I'm wearing the dress and top from it in these pictures, but it also includes a mini-skirt, corset, boots, and puff sleeves, plus appliers... all for just 50L.

Also in today's FLF are the Connie sandals from Noodles, and the Trudy poses from oOo Studio (btw, there's a 50% off sale at oOo until 31st August).

Full credits after the jump.

Super-express post!

A very quick look at some items from current events, including the Fantasy Room, Genre and We Love Role-Play.

Current rounds of Enchantment and We Love Role-Play end this weekend

A lot of events are ending this weekend, as the calendar changes from May to June.

One of these is the current round of We Love Role-Play (the new round will open on 4 June).
Just to be confusing, I'm wearing items from both the soon-to-end and soon-to-open rounds.

Currently available is the Zinga belt (with matching anklets, not seen) from May's Soul. Don't forget all items at We<3RP are discounted between 25-50% so take advantage of the opportunity to get it for less. Coming soon is the hair-headdress combination from Emo-Tions. (Note: The hair, horns, crown and face chain are one piece, so you can't wear or move them around individually.) The pack includes a hud which lets you change hair tone and the colour of the jewels.

The tunic/ camisk I'm wearing is a recent release from Soedara, called Siv of the North, and I'm not actually wearing half of what you get in the box. Each pack includes two colours of the mesh tunic in two lengths each, circlet, chore belt, rope belt, boots, and bracelets. Thre's also a clothing layer undershirt (to keep those nips covered!) and and armbands, which I am wearing.

Another event ending this weekend is Enchantment. The bracelets I'm wearing are from Boom, and they're one of the special, exclusive prizes you can choose when you buy an Enchantment item from participating stores and complete the stamp card contained within. This post on the official Enchantment blog explains the concept in five languages (English, Portuguese, Spanish, Japanese, and German).

Slurls to the stores after the jump, and you might like to check out this post on Seraphim which has some previews of the items.

Natsumi

Natsumi Girl is a new release from  Soedara, it's an Asian-styled 'dress' so perfect for Pani roleplay sims. The outfit includes five sizes of mesh, bracelets, and a hair flower. It's also a bargainous 150L.

I haven't tried layering it yet, I suspect it might work well as a tunic over trousers, but it looks like it might be a little too fitted for skirts and gowns.

Also, if you're not as out of the loop as I am, you probably already know that Aisling (or a i s l i n g) are celebrating their first anniversary. They've very generously put out a special collection of gifts, which includes this circlet and necklace set for women. (There's also a necklace for men, and a variety of decor items.)

This slurl should take you right there - Aisling anniversary gift - but if you do land at the main entrance, look for the special glowing teleportal! I'm not sure how long gifts will be out for, but at least one is a limited edition and the countdown clock reads 19 days.

Earrings (by Distorted Dreams) and Face jewels (from The Forge) are both available at We Love Role-Play while my foot jewels (Pure Poison) and fan are from Fantasy Gacha Carnival 
Both events run until the end of the month.

Soedara at We Love Role-Play

Round 11 of  We <3 RP opens on Friday. Soedara have put out two new outfits, each at 30% off. The Scurvy Wench is a pirate-inspired ensemble, featuring a corseted dress, shrug, armwarmers and jewelry. Meanwhile, Berhawa-nafsu is a skimpy mesh camisk.

Both outfits have lots of options for you to play with; some are hud controlled, and some are additional options included in the pack. For instance, with scurvy wench, the hud lets you change the colours of the corset and the flowers. There are also two colours of the shrug, and an alternative dress has different colours in the skirt. The Berhawa-nafsu huds let you change the opacity of the camisk, the colour of the fabric, or the colours of the beads.

The boots I'm wearing alongside Scurvy Wench are from Kahli Designs, and are part of the Elven Courtier outfit. The sandals I'm wearing with the camisk are add-ons for Slink flat feet from Maxi Gossamer, at this month's Fameshed.

Courtesan

Some recently released shoes from Pure Poison inspired me to try something just a little different for this post. We all know Gorean slaves can't wear high heel wedge shoes - but a courtesan from another world certainly could.

Also new are the Zaia hand jewels from Earthstones for Slink hands (note - these are fitted to the Slink Casual and Elegant1 hands, so check you have these hands, and that you buy from the correct vendor).

The clothes are from Soedara - the top is a sexy new mesh camisk, while the skirt is from a set of good ol' flexi-and-sculpt silks. Mask from Boudoir, additional jewelry from Zaara and Lost Haven, and skin from The.Plastik.

The Brutal dresses from The Plastik

New from the The.Plastik - the Brutal dresses, a two-part outfit that could work as anything from an alternative camisk to clubwear, as the textures range from grungy leathers to brash colours. (I've 'borrowed' the previewer and added at the end!)

The top and bottom parts of the dress are separate meshes, so you can mix and match to your heart's content... or make your look a lot more risque.

Accessories - Wimey's Medusa arm band and Bliensen + MaiTai's Cassis earrings - are from the current round of We <3 Role-Play.

Slurl to The.Plastik  

New from The.Plastik at Frost and TDRF

I've been having more issues with taking photos in the last few days - sometimes the image comes out completely scrambled, sometimes almost completely black with just a few meshes showing, or sometimes there'll be a transparent space where my arms, head, or entire body should be.

This could be cool if I wanted to make a surrealist art statement, but as I just want to grab a few nice pics featuring fun clothes 'n' things, it's VERY frustrating. In between times, I did manage to squeeze out some pics with intact and visible body parts, so phew. Next will be final post in the crayon colour challenge, I hope...

This post, I'm slinking around in the corset-y Karmiel mesh bodysuit from The.Plastik, which makes a great alternative camisk. It's currently at The.Plastik's booth at the F R O S T fair which runs until 5 January. You'll find the Slink nail appliers I used (close-up of just one of the options after the jump), and lots of special limited editions of recent releases like the Morgana gowns or Furia dresses.

You might also want to check out the two gift trees at Frost, under which you'll find freebies and dollarbies from the fair participants.

Reshmaan camisk and silks from Soedara

So, I was having some problems with taking pictures, possibly because I changed some debug settings to try and improve graphics.  I downloaded the new Firestorm Beta and got some... interesting results. Such as, photos where everything is black except the meshes. Or photos where everything is normal except my avatar has no face. Aaaarrgghh!

Anyway, this camisk and silks set is a recent release from Soedara, and it is packed full of things to play with as always. There are at least three different versions of the camisk, in sheer, semi-sheer, and normal. (Note: Thanks to changes in the viewer, you'll need to have advanced lighting enabled in graphic preferences to see the transparency. Hopefully this will be fixed soon.)

There's a hud so you can change the saturation level of the camisk colour, two belts, one of which is simple and one which has hud-controlled colour change beads. There are also a variety of silks to add - long or short. They're mod, so you can change the transparency as you please, and match it up to the camisk if you like.

Beautiful jewelry too - as well as the gold belts, there are simple armbands, anklets and a collar (scripted and unscripted versions). There's a lovely long necklace also, and a diadem with a stone coloured to match the outfit.

Faridah from Delicious

Seems like it's been a while since I did a non-event post, so here's a look at a recent release from Delicious (before I get back to events, lol).

Faridah is a recent release from Delicious and you have three ways to wear the outfit - as a camisk or tunic, as dancing silks, or as, um, casual silks?

The outfit is a mix of mesh (the tunic, the short silks) and flexi silks, prims, and clothing layers.

I really like that the belt is available separately - ie without attached silks - perfect for adding to other outfits!

(The necklace is from  Soedara btw.)

Crayon Colour Challenge: Week 40, Gargoyle Gas

Gargoyle Gas

Gargoyle Gas

Yellows are difficult. This one in particular. I wasn't sure I had it in my inventory -  pale yellows, lemon yellows, sunny yellows, yes... screaming yellow? No.

However, this might be the second week that accessories have saved my ass. Because, if the colour isn't quite in the camisk, it's almost certainly in the jewelry!

The outfit consists of the Softly camisk from the Shack, and parts of the Slave Jewelry outfit from May's Soul (which also includes a belt and nipple covers, not shown here).

The hair is Vlodovic, brand new from Tableau Vivant, and available in male and female versions. What I really love about TV hair is the range of colours in the 'mix' pack (Equinox) - 14 different shades, running the usual gamut from white/blonde to black, but also including some ombres and wilds! Another plus - it's the same price (300L) as the other colour packs.

PS - YELLOW, I HATE YOU!!!

Camisk: Shack - Softly camisk Yellow
*Jewelry: May's Soul - Slave jewelry gold
Hair: Tableau Vivant~ Vlodovic Hair - Female S - Equinox
Shape: Self-made
Skin: DeeTalez -  Elly red lips black smokeyes COFFEE

Just a girl

- just a girl - bliss - haifa  (PG pants not included)

When I came back from a recent trip, I discovered two brand new items in my inventory which had been sent along by Clarrellae (Cara), who has launched a new fashion line to "celebrate the culture of the girl".

Soedara - Parthenope of Rome

Soedara's latest outfit is a classically-inspired cornucopia of options that could see you roleplay your way from humble slave to patrician lady (or vice versa).

The basis of the outfit is a mesh tunic which comes with a variety of trims (gold, silver, leather). There are then eight different flexi skirts you can add to the outfit to transform it from tunic to gown. 

Crayon Colour Challenge: Week 34, Lapis Lazuli

Lapis Lazuli

Lapis Lazuli

Another quick post to keep me on track with the Crayon Colour Challenge!

The main part of this outfit is from The Shack with a couple of add-ons from Soedara.

The orb props and poses are from Musa, and they're part of the current We <3 Role-Play

round which closes at the end of the month... so you've only a couple of days to grab them and lots of other bargains. The new round will open on 4th September.

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.

New from Soedara: Wanton Girl mesh camisk

Grr, took me ages to log on tonight, slow internet! Grrr! Anyway, I'll make this quick... Wanton Girl is one of the latest releases from Soedara.

The box is stuffed full of options - three mesh camisks in standard sizes, each in varying levels of destruction, two clothing layer tops, chest and hair flowers, necklace, armbands, bracelets, anklets, waist jewel, bindi...

AND... for your roleplay, there's a range of props! There's an animated kalda^ bowl for your avatar to drink from, a matching ladle, a hand-held pot which dispenses bowls of kalda on clicking, and unscripted pots to hold or use as table decorations.

Nadia from The.Plastik

I finally got all my Hair Fair shopping done... so many nice hairs! It was expensive, that's for sure. I'm not going to blog all my favourite hairs, as you've probably seen them all already. But... I will pass on a warning.

Beware - if you've still to go or return to Hair Fair, a truly reprehensible individual has set up a group invite inviting you to join a 'Hair Fair Gift' group, for which you pay to join. This group is totally fraudulent.

You do not need a group to take the gifts at Hair Fair - participating stores have simply put them in their booths where you can grab them for 0L or 1L. No group needed.  The 'gift' group is a scam which has official status whatsoever. So.... if you get an invite, decline it. Better yet, block or mute 'hairfairgift' resident. (Though whoever is behind this scam might have created another identity by now.)

So, on to the clothes. Nadia is a recent release from The.Plastik. It comes in 28 different textures, many of them dark and grungy, with some edgy prints and vibrant colours if you're looking for something more contemporary.

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.

Ostara egg hunt at FallnAngel Creations

FallnAngel Creations - Shirah outfit

Some very quick photos to show you a small selection of the fabulous prizes on offer in FallnAngel Creations annual Ostara egg hunt.

The hunt runs across the two FallnAngel sims (the mainstore and the creepy Sanitarium) until 28th March, and you're looking for an brightly coloured and decorated Easter egg (no two are exactly the same). Prizes cost 1L, and when you click you buy you can see what's inside... so sometimes I search it on the marketplace to see what it looks like before committing :)
