Strange Pixels

Siyu Suen of Illusions has recently released the viney and fantastically twisty curly leafy Hedera silks.  Ok, that was a lot of adjectives.  And yet, still not enough to express how much I adore these silks.

(I conjectured all kinds of meaning for the name Hedera when I first saw them.  I’d finally settled on some woodland nymph or nature goddess.  Then I Googled it, and found it that it was actually a kind of ivy!  Which is, of course, incredibly fitting.)

This set comes with top and bottom clothing layers, a prim leather loincloth, and a zillion different prim vine parts that twine about different parts of your body.  They are modifiable and are fitted quite easily.  But truly, not much fitting was needed.  I’m not sure what kind of magic Siyu used to coil these so perfectly around the avatar shape, but perfectly she did it.

They also look.. *ahem*… quite nice without the top.

The beautiful tattoos are part of the impressive new Sphinx skin from Trap.  I picked it up at the Harajukubox Skin Fair, which ended so quickly I didn’t get a chance to blog it first.  But Selos assures me that they will be available in the store today-ish.

The combination of the silks, the skin, and the faun bits is just too perfect.  I feel like a member of a hidden forest tribe who paint  their bodies with ash and minerals and run around with bows and arrows and pan pipes and whatnot.  It’s very idyllic, I assure you.

I have a few Halloween events to attend this year, so I’ll be posting my costumes after the respective soirees occur.

My first ensemble was for the Goblin Masque, hosted by Siyu Suen of Illusions.

Anticipation for this event ran high, because I knew from past experience that Siyu’s partygoers put an unbelievable amount of creativity and effort into their garb.

Although the theme for the evening was dark fae and goblinses, I decided to deck out in all white and silver.

The real challenge was to get myself under the 200-prim limit for the evening (enforced by Siyu for the sake of lag reduction.)  After picking apart each item and removing every extraneous bit of prim I could find, I’m happy to report that I came in at exactly 199 prims.  For a dirty little prim-hoarder such as I am, I’m wildly proud of myself.

This ensemble also won me title of Goblin Queen for the evening!

My prize?  Only the most awesome mask ever shaped from a prim.

*gloat gloat gloat*

But fret not, for Siyu will be releasing this mask (as well as a male version) for sale today.
