Strange Pixels

I adore a good textile pattern in SL, so these new Olive sweater dresses from Ducknipple had me frothing at the ads.  They come in a variety of stripes and colors, so you should definitely check them out.  I love Ducknipple for their lovely textures, and for their prim clothing and accessories that always fit me perfectly right out of the box.   Belts, especially,  take a good bit of fiddling of linked prims on my part before I can wear them, but what you see here was edited not one bit.

This dress immediately reminded me of the ubiquitous, beloved Old Boots from Shiny Things.  I marvel that with all the advancements in sculpts we have now, these boots can still hold their own and hold it well.  How many other pairs of shoes from years ago would still look good today?

Also take note - fabulous new skins from Nomine!  The Mosaic line is a departure from what I’m used to from Nomine,  as they bring a touch more smooth realism.   I personally love both styles, but get a hankering for each at different times.  And of course these skins come in the Nomine skin tones and makeups that you know and love - including some previously Limited Edition makeups!  I’m particularly in love with the lips; just look at how soft and plump they are.

I realized I have all these neat undies that never (and I mean never) get seen by another person.  So I decided to blog some of my recent favorites.  Brace yourself for gratuitous bum shots.

Since I’m showing so much skin, I decided to make it an interesting one.  This is the Manna-Kin skin from MIASNOW, with tintable scales tattoo from HUZ colored to match each cool makeup.

Corset from Rotten Toe, with cute little prim frill and bow attachments.  I love how clothes from Rotten Toe seem to accentuate a thicker type avatar

Elegantly deconstructed Valerian undies from Plastik, along with the fab new posture collar.  Like everything from Plastik, these are available in a whole slew of rich prints and colors.  The collars come plain, with straps, with buckles, or with feathers.  I’m really in love with the collar and I’ve been wearing one of them pretty much nonstop since I got my paws on ‘em.  It’s divinely sculpted to fit around the neck and shoulder area perfectly.

Ok, this is a bikini.  But it could totally be worn as undies.  The adorable batkini is available in a billionty colors, and it has these cute little prim ties to really finish it off.

Just a quick Look of the Day.

I apparently wasn’t quite through with the Valentine’s look yet, and I’m like a dog with a bone when I latch onto a theme.

Did I overdo it with the hearts?  Yeah, probably.

Many cool things to show you today.

Firstly, a super-closeup of my mug to show off the new peepers.  Poetic Colors has released a series of fairy-tale inspired eyes, all in luminescent, ethereal colors.  I am in freakin’ love with this set.  All available with or without a glowing golden ring around the iris, a light or dark outer eyeball, and a matching glow prim to attach to each eye.  They’re gorgeous and hypnotic.

I went a little curly crazy today, but Silent Sparrow’s amazing new(ish) Gloomy line just inspired me.  There are so many pieces available: suits, jeans, different skirt styles, jackets, corsets.  All sporting lovely Burton-esque gothic curls in Hya’s usual compliment of rich, deep colors.  In this post I’m wearing the shrug jacket and the kilt-style skirt.

The hair and necklace I’m wearing today were picked up on 50L Friday.  I adore the idea of 50L Fridays, but unfortunately my schedule rarely allows me to take part. :\ Happily, I was able to sneak inworld for  a bit last Friday night, and I see now that I’m going to have to try every week.  Such an awesome haul!  I feel a little bad blogging some of those things now, but everything is still available in a different color and/or at regular price.  And honestly, I would have paid full price for any of these things.

More fantastic new boots from Lazy Places, available at the 2009 Footwear Expo. I love love love these boots!  They give you all the coolness of the animal-leg style boot, but with a sleeker, sexy, feminine shape.  Lazy Places continues to push forward in their niche, and put out some really awesome, innovative footwear.   I’m always excited to see what they have to offer.

Just sneaking in with a quickie post tonight, because I know I won’t have another chance until after Thanksgiving.  Ugh, I will be so happy when this holiday is over.  And if I never see another turkey again, it’ll be too soon.

The skin is new from Deviant Kitties, where they have released some beautiful skin tones with cool, edgy makeups.

The Shredder tank is from Plastik, and is offered in their usual variety of juicy colors and patterns.  The great shredded pattern continues up the back, but I somehow missed getting a picture from the back… sorry bout that.  :\

I love this skirt from Schadenfreude, with its amazing little coffin, batwing, and skull details.

The Footwear Expo is in town, and not to be missed are these killer Ankou boots from Lazy Places.  LP was one of my favorite finds from last year’s Expo, and they’ve wowed me again this year by releasing a digiboot with a human style foot.  Aren’t these awesome?

I set out to create an “autumn fairy” ensemble, for a pinup calendar I’m taking part in.  (I’m Miss. November, if you’re wondering.)  So there I was, trying to think of where to begin, when the notice for this new Autumn Leaf Headpiece from Evie’s Closet falls into my lap.  Eureka!  And what do I see immediately upon rezzing?  This lovely fairy outfit in a variety of colors!  (I picked the red because of the Autumn color scheme, but it I was sorely tempted by the other colors as well.  They’re all quite lovely.)

Never has a themed shoot worked out so perfectly!

I love this set because of all the options, and I’ve tried to show most of them to you here.  Clothing layers from risque to modest, 4 different skirt styles, and a matching pair of wings.  The wings I’m wearing are not the ones from this set.  I chose a pair from Seven’s Selections because of the finer control they give me over animation, size, and flexiness.  However the matching wings are perfect, so I don’t want anyone to think I’m not wearing them because I didn’t like them.

Munchflower has released a line of Equinox skins at Nomine that are just too adorable, with a sprinkling of freckles across the bridge of the nose.  They come in a whole slew of lush makeup colors, and of course I’ll be showing more of them here in future posts because Munch is my skin goddess.

This leaf jewelry set from Shiny Things is an old favorite of mine, and I was very pleased to find out that my SLink feet could be worn with the matching anklets.

(And if you’re interested to see how my pinup turned out… *ahem* I ended up not wearing very much of the outfit. >.> )
