Strange Pixels

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?

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

Seasons Greetings bloggy folk!

Mourna land is still mostly stuck in retail hell for the time being.  But if anything can pull me out of temporary hiatus, its Siyu’s MAGNIFICENT RACK! (Yeah, sorry.  I had to do that.)

Seriously though, these antlers are an absolute jaw-dropping masterpiece.  I had a bit of a hard time deciding on what to wear with them, and I had all but decided to go bare.  Then I was poking through my feeds, and saw that Winter Jefferson had already beat me to the punch.  Ahem.

No, I’m not going pony girl.  I promise. :p

If these antlers strike you as much as they did me, then hurry over to Illusions.  They’re only available until Jan 1.

Do not attempt to adjust your monitors.  I am, in fact, a neko today.

Blame Whirligig, perhaps.  Featuring a cuddly critter in my last post gave me fuzzy-tail-envy.

Or maybe blame the many coffees laced with Baileys that I’ve imbibed so far.

I’m a bad kitty up to nefarious deeds, and this new(ish) Magician’s Belt from Dark Eden holds all my sneaky feline potions and spells.

If I actually owned a cat, I could probably come up with some witty cat-themed magic here.  Elixir of hairball in your shoe?  Essence of sharpening claws on the back of your favorite chair?  I’m drawing a blank here.  Feel free to leave suggestions.

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.
