Something Wicked

Corsets in second life have always been tough to work with. the texture ones are nice but flat, the sculptie ones are more realistic but don’t move with the body.

enter mesh:

corset-1

this beautiful work of art is from schadenfreude. i might just find a way to make every single outfit i have suit this corset lol. i’ve been wearing it since i got it and yes even in public! which i have been kinda reluctant to do with mesh because not enough people are using viewers that can see it. but i don’t care if i look like i am wearing a doughnut! this thing is amazing.

corset-3corset-2

as usual i did have to change my shape a tad to fit into this, but it was less painful than trying to fit into a lot of the mesh clothing i’ve demoed recently. i lost a little of my love handles and my stomach, BUT this is a corset, so a cinched waist is preferred, and it didn’t really change how i look. i even got to keep my butt!

corset-4

and i can do this in it!

shopping list:

Hair:  fri. – Rashelle – Cynical Black

Playing With Mesh

0
Filed under Looks
Tagged as , , , , , ,

today i decided to play with the mesh clothing sent to me from TenFifteen. yes i know mesh is all over the feeds right now  but i don’t care! its so much FUN to play with! as a photographer, one of the biggest problems i have is trying to make clothing look good, smooth out all the glitches, and make it look like it fits the pose. sometimes that means you are stuck using only certain poses. this is even more important when fashion blogging, since the wrong pose can make a great clothing item look weird or cut though you.

mesh pretty much says TO HELL WITH THAT BUST OUT THE DEL MAY POSE!

tenfifteen-mesh

this gorgeous dress and these amazing boots are just a start from TenFifteen, and i cannot wait to see what else they bring out! these photos are unedited except for a little ps to get rid of the annoying glitches that shadows give me when i take photos. these clothes are exactly as they look in world!

tenfifteen-mesh3tenfifteen-mesh2

of course mesh has its caveats. certain poses are still *too much* for the mesh to handle.. i played with several, and a few broke the mesh a bit. and of course there is the little issue of having to tweak your shape for mesh clothing. hopefully LL is looking into deformer morphs to make them fit to our fat and not just our bones.

for this dress i didn’t have to do much tweaking. there were two sizes included, and i fit the curvy size, EXCEPT i had to make my boobs bigger >_>. the shoes i was happy to see did not require ANY tweaking! size 2 fit like a glove :D i’ve never had knee high boots fit without some sort of adjustment so i am pretty happy with these!

Fifi Ala Mode

fifi-1

no your eyes are not deceiving you.. i am in fact wearing pink! usually as you know, i have a no pink rule on this blog, but i could not resist this new outfit from Wretched Dollies called Fifi ala mode. i am a huge fan of cabaret and show girl style clothing so i suffered though the pink :p

fifi-2

the fifi ala mode set includes an outfit, with several options to choose from. here i am wearing the poofy skirt which should just be renamed to “put me on right now because you love poofy stuff”.. i must obey the poofy. there is a separately sold jewelry set and a skin which all matches the outfit.

the shoes that i am wearing are NOT this colour normally. i tinted the bows and bottom of the shows pink in order to better match the outfit (as i have no pink shoes :p)

oh yes and this piano i am on? it was a freebie at glitterati, not sure if its still available but its super cute! there is a pay version full of poses available if you can’t find the freebie.

shopping list:

hair:  !lamb. Lovelier Girl – Blood Fruit

eyes: :: Exodi :: Riven Eyes (Fire) (Lg/V)

skin: WD Fifi Dk Brows

outfit: WD Fifi ala Mode Dress

jewelry: WD Fifi ala Mode Necklace Set

shoes: lassitude & ennui Skully pumps (black and white version tinted)

piano: glitterati

its only cloth.

itsonlycloth2

when i was a little girl… (and yes let me start this out by saying i am a female in real life and most of the time in second life) i wanted to be a little boy.. not like.. have a penis and all that.. but i wanted to wear boy clothes, play with boy toys, and get to do things boys were doing… my family and teachers did not like that, and while my parents were a bit more relaxed, my grandmother was VERY dead set on making sure i remembered that i was a girl… pink everywhere, dresses all the time, no mud, no gi joes, only barbie barbie barbie…

as i got older and had more control over what i could wear and do, i chose to dress more androgynous and i had friends who did the same. i once dated a guy who wore dresses, and i would wear suits to match. we shared clothes and it was fun, nothing weird to me or him about it. the school of course was not happy, and later on to be an ass, i wore a suit and tie to school every day for a year.

to me, clothing is clothing. it doesn’t mean you are a certain gender, or sex, it doesn’t mean you are gay, straight, bi, transgender, intersexed, genderqueer, or anything else you wanna lable with. it means you are not naked, you are wearing clothes.

itsonlycloth1

what am i? i honestly don’t care…

for Gabe, because i <3 him, even though i do not know him… you are beautiful.

Summer time.. and the living’s easy..

summertimes

do not adjust your monitors.. yes i am blonde O_O. the new dress from grixdale made me feel all summery and beachy so i decided to bust out the blonde hair and hit the beach! i am envious of my avatar right now..

summertimes2

i’ve accessorized this outfit with this beautiful necklace/earring set from MOOD. jori’s jewelry is always stunning but usually is a bit fancy for my usual style (maybe i should just get fancy more often so i can wear her stuff :p) i loved the simplicity of this set, and the chaotic tangle of chain links suits me just fine. you can find it at the fashion garret for a limited time, i am not sure if she is going to have this available in her store after its time there, so do make sure to grab it while you can!

Grixdale - Emery - Last Call - Sale

while’ i’m on the subject of stuff you should grab while you can, grixdale is retiring the emery line in preparation for a new version. she hasn’t decided when she’s taking these out of the store so you should get there fast and grab them while you can!

and finally, if you’re not grixdale’ed out yet… i wanted to show off the adorable mr soggy bottom doll that mini-me (my kid alt juliet) grabbed yesterday!

soggybottom

i have him on big me too but since he is in the kids area i figured i would let my kid wear him :p he comes in several colours and then this particular version of him is available at a discount as part of a new weekly event!

phew.. that’s all for me for now, i’m going to go relax on this beach while you go shopping…

shopping list:

eyes: :: Exodi :: Riven Eyes – Fire

hair: Exile Petra:  TDR Exclusive colors – Harlow

skin: Grixdale – Ren -  Sparrow  – Mint

dress: Grixdale -Letters Home – Halter Dress – Grass

jewelry: ::MOOD:: Chaos Ensemble ~ Gun Metal @ the Fashion Garret
