Look of the Day

 

Today’s look started with me stumbling across the Flickr page of Aralute Undercroft, the male Face of the Darklands winner and finding out that he made eyes. Since they only cost 20 L$ I bought a pair and decided that I would become an evil vampiric elf. That was my intention at least, although people told me that I looked cute later on!

I like my new look so much that I’ll probably wear elf ears and/or red eyes for the next couple of weeks!

My clothes are a combination of my two favourite outfits from Bare Rose. June Dion never ceases to amaze me with the quality of her designs and those incredibly low prices.

Skin: LUI, Androgyne (Exotica, Shadows) - eXceSs

Look of the Day

I was rather bored with Second Life these past couple of days. There just weren’t any new releases that interest me, and I didn’t have any inspiration to do a Look of the Day post either. Instead I went and played Lord of the Rings Online.

Today I experimented with Photoshop a bit, and all of a sudden I felt the urge to log into Second Life right now and do something to my avatar! Nothing bad, I assure you, I just dressed Girl-Dakota in a gothic outfit and dragged her into Phtotoshop.

Obviously I still have a lot to learn - I have seen pictures on flickr that were simply amazing - but this picture here is at least presentable, and I like the outfit.

Girl-Dakota doesn’t look too bad in her new Laqroki skin. Besides I like the new corsets from ~silentsparrow~.

What I’m Wearing:
Skin: Tasha 11 Portrait Skin (Tan) - Laqroki
Eyes: Gray Deep - Simtropia
Hair: Umyah (Black) - Tickled Pink
Collar: Luxe Fur Collar with Satin and Pearls - Muse (gift from designer)
Tatoo: Butterfly Tattoo - minajunk
Corset: Luxe Corset (Blood) - ~silentsparrow~
Skirt & Sleeves: Romany Kiss (Black) - Evie’s Closet
Gloves: Free Diva Gloves - Bijou

Look of the Day

Today I decided to go shopping.

I’ve wanted to buy the jacket from Muism and the shoes from Urban Bomb Unit for a very long time, but always refrained from doing so because of the high price.

The jacket costs 700 L$ (for one color!), and the shoes cost 595 L$.

Today I finally gave in.

At least the shoes were definitely worth it. They come with so many color options that you never have to buy shoes again! This is really not one pair of shoes, but a hundred pairs of shoes in one!

The jacket’s very well made as well, but I still have a bit of a bad conscience. While the price of the shoes is justified for the aforementioned reason, Muism seems a bit overpriced at times.

What I’m Wearing:
Skin: LUI, Androgyne (Rose, Bare) - eXceSs
Eyes: Gray Depp - Simtropia
Hair: The Siren (Black - Red Tips) - Armidi
T-Shirt: Love Sux Shirt (Red) - Curious Kitties
Jacket: Skinny Biker Jacket (Black) - Muism
Pants: A001 Jeans (Light Classic) - Armidi Limited
Shoes: PornStar Xtra Hi-Tops - Urban Bomb Unit

Look of the Day

Since the last couple of blog entries have featured Boy-Dakota, I decided to post a girl’s outfit today.

I don’t want any of my avatars to feel neglected after all (although I need to do something with my furry again sometimes!).

The jewelry from Bliensen + MaiTai has been sitting in my inventory for ages. My inventory’s such a mess that I sometimes buy things, determined to wear them this day or the next and then forget all about them because I can’t find them anymore.

I knew from the beginning that I wanted to wear a little black dress with it - and realized - after searching the mess that is my inventory - that I have a whole lot of elegant gothic dresses - but exactly one simple little black dress - namely this one from Cupcakes!

What I’m Wearing:
Skin: Vogue Skin (Amber - Fall 2) - Celestial Studios
Eyes: Gray Deep - Simtropia
Hair: Blossom (Black) - Kin
Dress: One Shoulder Mini (Black) - Cupcakes
Necklace: Dark Bloom Necklace - Bliensen + MaiTai
Earrings: Dark Bloom Earrings - Bliensen + MaiTai
Bracelet: SkullsnFlowers Bracelet - Bliensen + MaiTai
Shoes: Vintish (Black) - Aphrodite Creations

 

FDS Fashion Show

I’m a finalist in the Face of the Darklands Competition, and as part of that competition I had my first modelling experience ever! It was certainly interesting … and laggy, but I didn’t crash until I was off the runway so that nobody (except my fellow models) witnessed my embarrassing experience!

I also noticed something: A male avatar with a height of 70 is still short! I was the shortest of the guys by far (although I was taller than half of the girls which is a positive thing, I suppose). Not going to make myself any taller though as I’m pretty short IRL, and playing a 8′ guy would just feel weird.

Anyway, enough of that, I just wanted to show the outfits I was wearing, all by ~silentsparrow~ that is slowly becoming my favourite store when it comes to gothic clothing. I’m also wearing a new skin by Draconic Kiss with nice gothic makeup. I have no idea when that skin will be available to the general public though as Draconic Lioncourt only finished it today!

What I’m Wearing:
Skin: Male Darkness Tone 02 - Draconic Kiss (not released yet)
Eyes: Gray Deep - Simtropia
Hair: Quinne (Coal) - Deviant Kitties
Boots: Garnet_Black Boots - Renka Bailey

Left Outfit:
Toxine Suit (Cocoa) - ~silentsparrow~

Right Outfit:
Karasu Shirt (Crimson) - ~silentsparrow~
Sweeny Pants (Soot) - ~silentsparrow~

 

Look of … Yesterday Evening?

I didn’t intend to blog this outfit from the beginning.

This is just one of the random outfits I put on when I’m naked in my sky box, trying out demos or making shapes, need to meet people and am too lazy to think about what I’m going to wear.

I was definitely a bit tired and lazy before that fashion show rehearsal yesterday, but fortunately that went away rather quickly.

I wish I had thought about photographing the other avatars. There were some amazing looking people there, and I felt out of place in my not particularly gothic outfit.

That too passed rather quickly since I actually got IMs from people, saying how they liked my look and my avatar!

I don’t know what it’s like for you, but I rarely get IMs about my look, so everytime somebody says that I look great, I go a little crazy (secretly of course, on the outside I pretend to be all self-confident).

What I’m Wearing:
Skin: Keith (Milky 15) - Laqroki
Eyes: Grayish - Simtropia
Hair: Hakuei Hair B - eXceSs
Cigarette: Animah (not sure if it’s still available, as Animah’s closed)
Scarf: Desert Scarf - Canimal
Belt: Dark Bella Morte Belt - Kyoot Army
Jacket: Antonio Moto Jacket - Last Call Moderno (retired)
T-Shirt: Eviscerated Raglan - Renegade
Pants: A001 Jeans (Black Classic) - Armidi Limited
Boots: NAU Combat Boots - TheAbyss
Gloves: Cy-Gloves Short - F.A.T.-Designz

Poses: LAP

 

Look of the Day

I was checking out cyberpunk stores today and found those swords at Bitter Thorns. They come in a couple of different sizes and with a ‘draw’ and a ’sheath’ gesture. You also get a sheath that you can wear on your back.

I decided to become some kind of warrior, today at least. Because the swords alone looked slightly boring I also put wings on - and a hairstyle from Deviant Kitties. My tattoo’s from iNFLiCT, and I’m wearing a skin from eXceSs again, but a dark one this time.

I couldn’t find any shoes that looked good with this outfit, so I’m not wearing any at all and decided not to take a photo of my avatar’s feet.

 

What I’m Wearing
Skin: LUI, Androgyne (Exotica, Shadows) - eXceSs
Eyes: Grayish - Simtropia
Hair: Quinne (Dark Purple) - Deviant Kitties
Wings: Ebony Web Wings 4.0 - Material Squirrel
Swords: Dual Blades - Bitter Thorns
Tank: 20% Transparency Tank - Muism
Corset:RRRR!!leo brown - MB-DESIGNS
Pants: A001 Jeans (Black Classic) - Armidi Limited
Tattoo: Cyclops - iNFLiCT

Pose: Male Mysterious - Animah

Look of the Day

I think I finally got my inspiration back. My last couple of blog entries were kind of lackluster, so I decided not to blog at all for a couple of days!

There are tons of sales going on at the moment, so many that the few lindens I earn through my store are not nearly enough.

I’ll probably end up buying a few thousand tomorrow because I also want to get Boy-Dakota one of the new Redgrave skins. There was a time when I blogged with him daily, and Girl-Dakota rarely got out, but it’s kind of the other way round now, and he’s demanding more presence on this blog!

Anyway, today I bought a dress at the Dutch Touch sale and tons of socks at Encore, and I decided to combine them into an outfit.

I also got myself a new hair! In the 13 months I’ve been here I’ve never bought a single hair from Kin. I can’t believe how I could miss those great hairs all the time! I love the textures and the styles, and I think I’m going back to buy more hairs asap.

What I’m Wearing:
Skin: Vogue Skin (Amber - Fall 2) - Celestial Studios
Eyes: Grayish - Simtropia
Hair: Blossom (Black) - Kin
Dress: Sunny Dress (Black) - Dutch Touch
Socks: Tintable Thigh High Socks - Encore
Jacket: Black Jacket - Rocker’s Wear
Bra: Mimi Bra - Cupcakes (used to be an update group gift, I think)
Necklace: Onyx Iota Necklace - Tickled Pink
Shoes: *SM* “Intent” - Sylfie’s Prim Seduction

Look of the Day

I’m one of the finalists in the “Face of the Darklands” contest! Yay!

I’ve been rather discouraged recently. There just weren’t a lot of decent new clothes for men released, so I switched to my female avatar and spent some time as her.

It’s so much easier to be a girl and fashionable in this game!

But this bit of news instantly made me feel better about my boy avatar, and I wanted to try and come up with an outfit for a blog entry, new releases or not.

After all I’m one of the male finalists in this contest, and it would be weird if I wrote mainly about women’s clothes in my blog, wouldn’t it?

This is another “girl hair on a boy” blog entry. I bought the hair for my girl avatar many months ago, but never wore it. It just didn’t look right on her, but it looks good on Boy-Dakota, in a “I’m some kind of androgynous j-pop singer” kind of way.

My clothes are from Armidi. I know, I’m one of the people that constantly complain “Everybody’s wearing Armidi. If you wear Armidi, you look like a clone.” But at the end of the day these things are still top quality, so maybe I should complain a little less in the future.

Shoes are my favourite ones. I’m wearing them all the time. And the usual skin from eXceSs.

What I’m Wearing:
Skin: LUI, Androgyne (Rose, Bare) - eXceSs
Eyes: OceanBlue - Glanz (even though you can’t see them)
Hair: Davina (Chocolate) - ETD
Glasses: NAIMATRIX Glasses - Naima
Jacket: Military Refuge Jacket (Shale) - Armidi Limited
Pants: Ruvido Slacks (Annerire) - Armidi Gisaci
Shoes: City Walk Shoes (Black) - Shiny Things
Gloves: CY-GLOVES SHORT - F.A.T.-Designz

Poses: LAP & Animah

Pink Outfitters

London Dailey of “Pink Outfitters” is a talented woman. I already blogged her creations a few months ago when her store was still new (I think it was only a couple of days old then!), so I was happy to take a look at her newest clothes.

They are all 100% handpainted, and the sweaters (that I’m not showing) and vests (that I’m showing) come on two layers - jacket and shirt layer - for easy mixing and matching. The clothes are reasonably priced as well (for example 100 L$ for the vest I’m wearing above).

London Dailey has also made skins which are not bad, but not exactly my cup of tea either. At 1.100 L$ I found them a little expensive.

I’m showing my favourite clothes - of those that London sent me at least - here.

I especially like the vest. It inspired me to make a whole (kind of) punk outfit - and I even bought a new hair because I wasn’t content with any of my old hairs!
