Strange Pixels

While I was searching for Mutation Industries a few days ago, I happened across Tokushi Avatars.  Besides some really beautiful full creature avatars in a slew of  fantastical designs, they had… these pants.  They were the only clothes that I saw in the shop, but I loved them and bought them in quite a few colors.  All kinds of styles are included.  Shown with the bloomer bottoms, they also had straight hems, and even a belt with a leather tail guard for you nekos out there.  Male and female sizes.

My first thought when I put on the pants was that I had to have one of Fade Dana’s fantastic helmets with this outfit.  They really are amazing…. she somehow manages to make these huge, heavy helmets still feel very feminine and sexy.  And the textures and sculpt work are absolutely top notch.  Expect to see some outfits styled around some of her more ornate selections in the future.

The Koreshan bake sale ends today around noonish, and I couldn’t let it pass by without pointing out a couple of favorites.

The macabrely adorable Death Sugar Sugar dress from Schadenfreude.  Sweet icing piping and skulls embellish this arsenic-filled-cake of a frock.  The hair is from Wasabi Pills, another Hair Fair treasure.  Also of note are the glossy saddle-style boots from Sn@tch, which I had a downright squee-ing fit over when I saw.

Silent Sparrow’s Meat Jacket, complete with inspection stamp tattoo, and an adorable little steak charm hanging from the belt.  Is this one of my favorite things in SL evar?  Why yes, yes it is.  This is a jacket after my own little carnivorous heart.  The hair is from Draconic Kiss’ hair fair selection.

In both pics I’m wearing some of Nomine’s specialty skins, all on sale for $L100 a pop right now.  Harlequin skins, vampire skins, greasemonkey skins, fantasy colored skins… If that sounds like your kinda thing, head over to Nomine before Wednesday and scoop ‘em up.

Are you sick of seeing Hair Fair posts yet?  No?  Well huzzah!  Here’s another!

(If you read my blog with any regularity, you know that I’m… uh… not so good at keeping up with current trends and events.  But I’m going to try like hell to do a post a day for most of the Hair Fair.  Well, at least the first week.  Maybe.  >.> )

When I saw Achariya in this strappy little number from Plastik, I wiped up my drool and headed on over.   What I’m wearing today is the male version of that bodysuit.  (WARNING:  The prims are a bit tetchy to fit to a female av.  But I like fiddling little details, and the results are totally worth it.)

When I tried on katat0nik’s Hair Fair selections with it, I loved the whole dj-from-the-future kinda vibe.  So this is what you get!

All of these hairs are just so awesome.  They’re no-mod unfortunately, but full of scripty goodness:  color choices for bangs, hair, and streaks, and optional headphones and color-change music notes.

Just as I was finishing up this outfit, Siyu Suen showed me her new silken blindfolds.   Such a simple thing, a blindfold.  But so exsquisitely executed, with it’s soft folds and it’s peak atop the nose.  Scripted with a bajillion and one colors.  So lovely and perfect. <3

So… I kind of suck.  I’ve been trying to get to a post on the Fantasy Faire all week, and I haven’t been able to until now.

Well, better late than never.  With only 3 days to spare, I can finally post some of my favorite finds.

Sharp strips of fabric, lush tufts of fur, exposed midriff from neck to belly, and some of the most voluminous pants I’ve ever worn… this is Trap’s unique and dramatic Ghost Hakama outfit.  I don’t even know how to classify this ensemble, but I love the edgy feeling it gave me to wear it.

Kitheres’ Breanne coat in black, with its shiny, textured leather that you want to reach out and touch.  I just love the interesting sworls and symbol embellishments.

The cool boots (Caverna Obscura) and wings (Material Squirrel) were also obtained from the Fantasy Faire, althought I don’t believe either are new releases.

Over at Illusions, Siyu has reissued her wildly popular prim ears to include texture-matching to many popular skin brands.  If you’ve hesitated to try them out before because of the difficulty of matching to the skin of your choice, you should hop on over and give them another try.  I’m a happy Mourna, because all of the newest Nomine lines are in the match list.

When the notice for this fantastically striped Voltaire Suit went out yesterday from Silent Sparrow, I hopped over almost immediately.  Of course, I ran into Achariya there. :D

Seeing how super-hot Boi Acha looked in the leather color, how could I resist posing for a set with him?

Boi-Acha is wearing the new Sylvan guy skins from Nomine, due to be released soonish-like.  Let me tell ya, my boy alt is chomping at the bit to try these out.  They look to be every bit as impressive as the female Sylvans.

So I threw my back out a few days ago, and I’m posting now from inside the pink haze of painkillers and muscle relaxers.  Here’s hoping I don’t look at this post in a few days and wince.

I’ve been kicking this outfit around for a few days, knowing it needed something but not sure what.  Then Siyu released her new yummy range of hats, and that sealed the deal.  Like all of Siyu’s goodies, they’re scripted with a multitude of colors and patterns.

This skin is a teaser from Nomine’s new revamped Sylvan line, due to be released this weekend-ish.   Start saving your $L up now, because they are magnificent.

For a few days now, I’ve been tinkering around with a post featuring Tokeo.Plastik.  Then Achariya issued a Posemaker Challenge, and I knew they would work well together.  This outfit is just the kind of thing I go pose shopping in:  Simple pants and a top, hair up and out of the way, to best see the poses and how they affect my (somewhat oddly shaped) avatar.

The challenge:  show a five-pose sampling from one of your favorite posers.

I deliberated over this challenge a bit.  Do I show some ecclectic finds from a favorite little out-of-the-way shop, or do I feature one of my solid favorites from a place more well-known?  When I looked through my pose stand to see who I had the most poses from, there was one clear winner.  The fabulously talented Dove Swanson, and her shop Long Awkward Pose.

Dove’s poses just suit my avatar so well.  Quirky without being crazy.  Fun without contorting the avatar too much.  Full of attitude, each pose seems to tell a story or convey a definite mood.

Oh yes, and back to Tokeo.Plastik:  they’re running a big sale as they prepare to clear out stock and move to a new location, so run on down there.  Their lovely displays of interesting  items in a candy-like array of colors is like shopping crack to me, I just can’t resist.

I’m been semi-zonked on Nyquil for the last few days, so if today’s post sucks, that’s totally the reason.

I went to Dela a few days ago, and grabbed these lovely boots with the great floppy bows.  I knew I had to have a smart looking suit with a nice jabot to wear with, so my first and last stop was Silent Sparrow.

Ultra-mega closeup to show off  the new peepers.  Poetic Colors is an eye merchant that Mocksoup Graves turned me onto, and I am in love with them.   All of their eyes are hypnotically glossy and hyper-realistic, with a gorgeous blending of colors.  I loved the mix so much that I picked up the colors for the background directly from the eyes.

… I may have gone a bit overboard with the purple. >.>
