Strange Pixels

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.

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?

There she is on the stage
Spinning as she sprawls
Thank God the curtains fall
Her spring is sprung
And dances done
Spinning as she sprawls
Thank God the curtains fall

In the morning, he twists the key quite hard
And ticking, she’s brought to boil
“Relevée, my sweet, on point, en garde!”
Her innards twang as they uncoil

“Gentlemen, this fallen angel is the illegitimate daughter of art and science. A modern marvel of engineering, clockworks elevated to the very natural process which even now is in your blood, racing, your eyes flashing at such irreproachable beauty. Here is Gaia, here is Eve, here is Lilith, and I stand before you as her father. Sprung fully-formed from my brow, dewy and sweet; she can be yours and yours again, for her flesh is the incorruptible pale to be excused from the wages of sin.”

-”Herr Drosselmeyer’s Doll,” Abney Park

It’s finally getting chilly here, thank goodness.  This summer has been particularly brutal, and I’m not sorry to see the back end of it.

In SL, my avie can dress for whatever season she likes.  But I find myself dressing for the season in a kind of celebration of it.   Today’s post is very much like something you might find me in, out here in the real world.  Only better, of course.

Sn@tch’s new Miss Prim and Proper set is so cozy,with it’s long cuddly sleeves and oversized collar.  A short flirty skirt (which fit with absolutely no resizing, I might add.) exposes adorable knit stockings, complete with garters and little skully fasteners.  The sweater underneath comes in a variety of colors.   I’m wearing the white, but have put a slight grey tint on it.  The sleeves do not actually have prim cuffs, but I dug around in inventory and found a set from another sweater.  One of the advantages of always wearing black, eh?

These boots from amaama immediately sparked my attention when I saw them on the Free*Style blog.  I must report that, although they look marvelous, they are not 3-dimensionally primmed.  That is to say, the laces and such are textured on to the boot prims.  Still, not much of a deterrent for me, especially considering the price tag ($L 170, a good deal for nicely sculpted and textured boots.)

Today I’m wearing one of the new Doll skins from Nomine.   These skins are as wonderfully shaded as we’ve come to expect from all of Munchflower’s work, and the unseamed version can be incorporated perfectly into less fantasy-oriented looks like I’ve done today.  But worry not, I do have a wicked dolly post in the works for the near future, to feature the seamed version.

As a straight-haired girl in real life, I dream of having fantastic bouncy curls like this new Cake ‘do.  Shush, just shush.  I can hear all you becurled folks just gearing up to tell me how annoying it is, and how you wish you had straight hair.  I don’t want to hear it. :P

The wonderfully striped and gothy Lost and Damned dress from Sn@tch comes in a pack with red, purple, or black.  (The gothic rainbow, as it were.)

I love this outfit so much… it really suits me.  And there’s something very pleasing to me about how well the buckles on the corset, the boots, and the collar all match.

The jewelled ankh (also from Sn@tch) changes colors with a click, so it can also be matched quite easily.

Also of note is the newish Fader hair from Gritty Kitty.  Oh Gritty Kitty hair, how I love thee.  Truly, you can do no wrong.

The Moonlit Goddess dress from The Black Canary is so cool and interesting.  It’s graceful and elegant and precious and cute all at the same time.  It made me feel very girly and well… sweet…  to wear it.  Not a look I usually go for, but I quite enjoyed it.  (I admit that my photography falls a bit short with this dress.  You really should see it in person to appreciate it.)

Sorry for the pink and sparkle explosion, by the way.   I was on a roll. >.>

The Moonlit Goddess comes with shirt and pant layers, a prim babydoll skirt, voluminous prim sleeves, prim bloomer bottoms, and neck and ankle ribbons (not shown.)

I think I spent longer trying to find shoes to wear with this dress than I ever have before.  I tried everything from prim feet to combat boots.  I finally ran across these really cute mary janes on XStreet.  I’m not sure if I quite nailed a perfect match, but the shoes are really cute so I stopped looking.  Two hours spent scouring for pretend shooz… why no, I don’t think that’s excessive.  Why do you ask?
