Stiletto Moody gave group members a free pair of Stiletto Moody Bare Lana in Red to celebrate the brand’s anniversary. For various reasons, I haven’t ever bought a pair of SM shoes (with or without feet). I am usually pretty good with tinting feet — and I own a lot of shoes from different brands in SL with them. I don’t understand why a pair of shoes that costs well over $2,000L does not include a HUD but a rather primitive drop-down menu. Really SM, you can’t make a HUD? It would make the tinting process SO much more pleasant. Other brands have them… Maitreya, SLink, even N-Core!
Anyways.. these shoes are FREE, so you know, like everybody else I’m curious to see what all the fuss is about.
All the photos taken below have NOT been post-processed — this is what a pair of Stiletto Moody Bare looks like to me:
1. Straight out of the box — my skin doesn’t match and the ankle strap doesn’t fit into the shoe.
2. I tried fixing my skin color via the ‘ControlFreak’ option and inputting my RGB — uh-oh my feet are PURPLE. So obviously I’ll have do it using the R,G,B drop-down menu which I hate. How am I suppose to know if I need to plus or minus more Green, Red or Blue? I’m a visual person, give me a HUD!
3. 10 minutes later, I’ve matched my skin as best as I could and fixed the fitting issue on the ankle strap.
4. Worn with my AO
Now that I’m satisfied with this, I hop off my pose stand and test the shoes out in-world with my AO. And it looks like crap….. hello hot mess. Looks good if you are posing but not so great when you want to wear it in-world.
5. Is this what you paid $2,000L for? (or however much these costs, I don’t know the exact price)
Would I buy a pair of Stiletto Moody? NO — not with the ankle strap issue. The foot isn’t that nice either with all those heavy shadows but it’s probably something I could live with.. but not for the price tag or the ill-fitted prims.
I know there are die-hard Moody fans out there, so enjoy your shoes! 🙂
snow queen is seriously the best bright, light blonde i’ve seen yet. it’s perfect.
I read this and was like OMG Action has a blonde included in the HUD, that I feel is better than this one. I do think Exiles HUD is way too spammy . Loads of great new colors thou and ya know I be buyin em all
That is quite possibly the most gorgeous SL necklace I’ve ever seen!
I wanttttt ♥
I know right?! Makes me think of Betsy Johnson jewelry!
Yah its an adorable necklace …sadly it is NOT called GABRIELA I went to the shop and the only ones called that dont look anything like the one she is wearing : /
NVM it just wasnt showing up in area search but I looked at all the jewels and finally found it and it is sooo cute l0l
I got this hair yesterday and I absolutely adore it. I’m so happy Exile moved on huds and the new textures are awesome. There is a problem anyway because I can’t decide what color to wear xD but Raven remain my favourite and from blondes it’s Snow Queen .
Pretty dress by the way 🙂
Cute style! I really like the Pink Bubbles and White Sand shades. So many pink shades from other hair creators are really too garish looking for my liking, but Pink Bubbles looks very soft and natural. Definitely want to try it.
Moonlight is my fav solid color and my favorite blue/black texture on the grid. In the fusion packs, the new one charachoc is my 2nd fav. I can’t remember which blonde is my fav.
I think Kavar’s HUDs are the best on the grid right now with options and ease of use.
