Strange Pixels

It seems like every time I admire what the lovely Juana Manuel is wearing lately, it comes from Violent Seduction.  When I finally had the time to shuffle myself on over, I discovered that it was the interesting Ikaru that I blogged a while back, rebranded and full of new awesome.  Most items are sold in full sets, but I feel like they just begged for mixing and matching.  So today I show you the fantastic bloomers from the Necromantic set, combined with the Aesthete Waistcoat from silentsparrow.  Under that, Schadenfreude’s fabulously versatile oxford in white.  I felt a quasi-piratey look coalescing, so I pulled out some lovely big French cuffs from a Gauze ensemble, and my favorite pirate belt from Illusions (which is definitely one of my wardrobe staples.)

I’ve been on the lookout for a pair of spats lately.  The closest I’ve been able to find are these boots from Refuge.  They are quite adorable, and conveniently scripted with a number of different colors and patterns.  But they are also attached to the shoes, and no-mod.  So if anyone sees any spats around, drop me a line, would you?  I am still on the hunt.

I saw this hair from Another Level on Dakota Lubitsch the other day, and I just fell in love with the way it twirls into two adorable little dollops on top of the head.

Last but not by any means least:  NEW EARS!  Yay!

SLink has released a darling series of elf ears in a variety of ear shapes and jewelry styles.  They come with the awesome SLink Omnihud.  If you’ve never seen it in action on their prim feet and shoes, it is just dead easy to use.  You can choose a greyscale or flesh colored texture base, then tint to match with an eyedropper much like the SL interface.  Where it excels over the SL interface is that you can store about a dozen of your color presets in quick-grab swatches.  So you only have to match them once to all your favorite skins.

I was sorting inventory a few days ago, and noticed just what a large chunk of my inventory was occupied by clothing from Sn@tch.   This brought me to the realization that I’ve never really done a  Sn@tch-dedicated blogpost, and I knew I had to rectify that right away.

It would be impossible to narrow down my favorite outfits ever, so let’s just call these my current favorites.

One of the things I love about Sn@tch is that, instead of selling individual colors, Ivey packs up all her color choices together, and sells them for the same prices that alot of folks sell singles for.  So instead of going for my automatic black or red, I get to try out some colors I never would have.

Oh!  And if you’re not a member of the update group, you totally should be.   Besides being full of notices of goodies and such, they’re written very humorously, and are a bright point of my SL week.

This post gave me the opportunity to show off the killer new Hex boots from First Flower in three superb colors.

Also of note are: awesome new tattoos from Silent Sparrow, adorable new hair from Refuge, and cool hair from a new-to-me shop called Foam (where I dropped a bundle, lemme tell ya.)

You won’t see me blogging something like jeans very often… but these from DP YUMYUM are extra special.  I have to say they’ve quickly become my favorite pair of jeans in inventory.  I especially love the butt. ^.^  They’re available in different colors, and I’m going to go back and get every single one.

Den-Dou skins…. I’m still undecided, for me.  They look absolutely adorable on some people.  I have real issues with the eyebrows, hence the shaggy-banged do in this set.  However, the lips are luscious and beautiful, and the eyes are lovely.

All of the poses from today’s post are from Sweet Lovely Cute.  A couple of people have passed me this LM when I asked them where they got their darling AO animations.  Really cute, fidgety, sweet animations.  To my delight, I found out that they have a very nice selection of modelling poses as well.

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.
