On The Cover pose shop is back with a brand new build, new location and new poses!! I'm featuring two new standing poses, they're sweet & full of personality.
The new On The Cover – Sit Pose Cube features 5 poses. The pose cubes from OTC are my favorites because they're so much fun to cycle through using the menu.
I don’t like Orange much, it is a color that reminds me of Halloween, or prison jumpers. Since I’ve just finished watching Orange is the new Black, I decided make an outfit with the new Ricielli Papi II Jumpsuit in tomato (basically Orange). Dark Orange is actually quite nice on Brunettes, it’s really rich and vibrant.
The Seraphim Social is a new monthly event brought to you by the people behind SeraphimSL.com. Each month’s theme is based on a different book; I didn’t get a chance to read this month’s book (The Host, by Stephenie Meyer). I did like this month’s round a lot, cos many of the items are named Melanie, my bff in SL. I’m assuming that’s a main character in the book? Be sure to visit Seraphim Social before August 11th, to pick up this round’s offerings.
What I’m Wearing:
Pink Fuel – Harley (Peach)
Wasabi Pills – Sarah (Black Coffee)
Ricielli – (S) Papi II Jumpsuit (Tomato)
Hucci – Manteo Sandals
Lark – Mirrored Souls (Necklace) @ Seraphim Social
Action – Studded Kitty Headband
SLink – Tri-Colour Wedges
Shag hair has just released two new hairstyles – the Party Girl and Chrissy Snow. I am wearing both in Coffee texture.
The Party Girl hairstyle (seen here in Dirty Blonde) also includes 2 hair attachments if you want to get festive! Left is the Formal Affair and right is the New Year 2010 headband.
If you stop by the main store, there’s a group gift waiting for you in the subscribo (it’s hair!).
This is a proper blog post today, to show the the full view of the Liza Sweater from Koketka. I didn’t do it justice when I wore it and showed you guys just a lil’ crop of it. I’ve put together a casual outfit with some light JuJu jeans from Tres Blah, and I’ve even added a cute lil’ L’amore vola Brooch accessory from MOOD.
What I’m Wearing:
Exile – Riot Girl (Roots) Stefani
MOOD – L’amore vola Brooch (Plat/Diamond)
Koketka – Liza Sweater
Insolence – Eliza Green Liberty Bra
Tres Blah – Juju Jeans (Light Wash)
ANEXX – BowBalletFlats (White)
A lot of people left comments to ask about the new SL multiple layers option, and yes, I think you can wear up to 5 of any layer. I tried to test this but when I wore too many layers the outfit just looked strange, so here’s me wearing just a few multiple layers 🙂
I am wearing 2 jackets, 2 under shirts, and 3 tattoo layers!
I probably won’t start wearing more clothes, but I will mix-and-match tons of different tattoo makeup options! I can’t waiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiit. Skin designers! Please make some!!
I’m back to show you a recent release by Utilizator that’s made my day–the Venus Anime Mesh Head! Although I loved the anime head I was wearing previously, it made my av look a bit young… this one makes me look like a young woman. Plus, it’s incredibly customizable just like the last one.
I like this avatar so much that I think I’m going to ditch the default SL one, except in the case of creating makeup and nails for it. But before you do that to yours, check out my caveat about what mesh body you pick to match this awesome head.
NOTE: I’m wearing custom textures with this head!
The Head
The Venus mesh head is 500L and is tintable, comes with its own set of eyes, and expressions so you can customize yours. The marketplace also has custom textures you can apply to your head so you can stand apart even further. Even if you buy a custom head texture, you can also purchase eyebrow and eyelash textures from other designers. That way, you can mix and match looks even further. Check out this blog post to see a few examples of custom head textures released so far!
Picking A Body
Most of you might just purchase the Venus head and pair it with the default SL body or a mesh body you’ve purchased already. However, if you’re someone considering wearing what I’m wearing in the above picture, you’ll need to read on.
If you want a mesh body from the same creator of this mesh head, but you want to still be able to wear most of your SL clothing, get the Avatar 2.0 body. It doesn’t have a lot of boob sizes, but it matches the mesh head a lot better and comes with its default skin tones already.
However, I like the wasp-waist the body I’m wearing comes with… which is the Kemono mesh body. It’s wonderfully curvy but you’ll need to buy separate chest parts for it if you don’t want a flat one. It can wear less SL clothing than the 2.0 body, but it’s way cuter. For boobs, people either seem to buy this set or this set (but I got this set).
Demo all the extra parts before buying, you might not like them!
Cannibal Island, where I took photos today. Here it is at night.
Dressing Up The Kemono Avatar
After this, you’re wondering: what about clothing for the Kemono body?
First things first: Kemono is very turtleneck and fluffy-skirt friendly. Some of what you have in your inventory will fit your new avatar already. I’m able to, for example, wear a lot of puffy skirts from Tres Blah with ease. As far as mesh sizing goes, it fits a little smaller than size XXS. Clothing stores that have these sizes in mind will be your best friend.
For jeans, bell bottom or loose-cut jeans will work. I went digging in my invy and found some Maitreya jeans that fit my av perfectly! It helps cut back on spending so you can get others things that are specifically created for the Kemono.
After you find some mesh clothing you already have that fits, here are some clothing made specifically for the Kemono that I recommend:
There’s a lot more out there, but these items will get you started! Whatever you pick, demo everything to make sure you’re happy with it. You don’t want to spend a million Lindens trying to get what you want.
For hair? I personally like Exile, Alice Project, Chemistry, and Lamb for hair choices with the Venus. We’re all different, though, so look around to see what fits your av’s personality!
Also! If you were looking for the rest of my super-bright art collection?They are now all on the grid here. You can now buy the whole set!
Cannibal Island has its own weather season. When I took this picture, a tornado had just disappeared. The waves are wonderfully laid-out to feel natural; obviously, the owner is very passionate about water.
What I’m Wearing:
Flowers: Boom – Nature’s Crown (Dark Pink)
Hair: Alice Project – Mary (manually tinted)
Top: Puppy – Ruffled Corset Top
Skirt: ABC Denim Skirt
Shoes: Rei’s Stuff – Heels for Kemono Human Feet
Necklace: Yummy – Miss Havisham’s Broken Heart
Earrings: Maxi Gossamer – Widdershins (Cross And Skulls)
Hey guys, I know that there’s some lag at the Mixed-Up Bunneh Hunt, but good things come to those who are patient! 🙂
Hunts are a great way to… explore shops you know and love, and discover some new ones too! I’ve met some fantastic people on hunts, so if you’re bored, or want to meet new people, this is a great opportunity.
I am wearing the Bunneh Hunt Dress from MALT, you can get this if you find the MALT egg and return it to the Malt basket.
The pose I’m using here is the Dolly’s Balloons pose from AVANT, a lil sneak peek of Pose Fair 2010. I promise I’ll do a more complete coverage of fair goodies soon!
