Strange Pixels

After Grady’s fantastic last post, I tripped over myself in an effort to rush over to Nomine.  I can’t believe I missed this new product announcement.   Munch’s new dresses are daring and awesome.  Alternately swathing you in beautifully textured black fabric, or exposing your bits through a thin scrim of  gauze or fishnet.  (For this photo set, I’ve doubled up the gauze layers to make them more opaque.)

These cool tentacles from Gauze wiggle and lash about with a life of their own.  Hard to photograph, but so much fun to wear.

This ensemble reminded me of some of the cool costumery from The Cell, so I decided to show off this mask from FallnAngel.  It’s an oldie, but still a goodie.

For the next few posts, I’m going to be focusing on poses from some of my favorite shops.  Today’s poses are from AnaLu.  If you’re looking for natural-looking poses that don’t distort the clothing, it doesn’t get any better.

After spending three days wandering around Hair Fair, I have oh-so-many new goodies.  Instead of doing a Hair Fair post, I’m going to feature a new one with each ensemble for a while, because every new hair inspires a new outfit.

Today’s new hair is from Bish, a completely new shop to me.  This is what Hair Fair is all about for me: not just seeing new styles from my favorite designers, but finding new and different haunts.

I’m developing more and more of an affinity for fluffy, heavily alpha-textured hair.  If I never see another twisted, pointed, chunky, primmy looking torus, it’ll be too soon.  Alpha flickering is an issue, but going with black hair minimizes this.  And some creators handle it better than others, of course.

This hair is wild, and huge.  And called for an over-the-top ensemble.  Can you believe, I bought these boots at the Shoe Expo, and never even opened the box?  But I remembered them in a sudden stroke, and this look was born.

Nomine’s Aether skin line is usually one of my first stops for an unusual look.  The Bruise tone featured today is one of my favorites, but they’re all quite yummy.  This one tastes like grapes. ;)

Full details and SLurls after the cut.
