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.

Two more new hair fair acquisitions, and two older Silent Sparrow releases to remind you about hyasynth’s stupendous half-off sale!  If you haven’t availed yourself to this bargain yet, you’ll have to hurry.  Sale ends tonight at midnight.

Edit:  Apparently the sale ends tomorrow.  Wednesday, 6/24/09.  Whoops!

The “Cog Mistress” hair from The Stringer Mausoleum was just too perfect a match for Silent Sparrow’s “Toxine” suit.  And the cog hair ornaments are a separate attachment, so you can wear the hair without them.

Mourna a blonde!? That might just be one of the signs of the apocalypse.

I always have the most difficult time choosing my colors at Silent Sparrow. They’re all so beautiful and rich, I stand there in a muttering little flutter of indecision for what seems like an eternity.  Then I usually default to my standard red or black for easier mix-and-matching.  But this great sale as afforded me the opportunity to pick up some different colors than my norm, as seen above.
