Look of the Day

I was away for a couple of weeks because I had to deal with my ever chaotic Real Life, and I was also working on my novel. I’m not sure if any of my work will ever get published, but I enjoy being creative, regardless of the outcome. Anyway, I didn’t feel any inclination to log into SL longer than it takes to check my IMs because that story was so exciting and I wanted to know what happened next. I’m not a good MMORPG/virtual world addict. I forget that I’m supposed to be addicted every now and then.

Today I felt like being in SL again though. I missed playing my avatar and talking to my SL acquaintances. RL’s calmed down, and my female main character doesn’t want to do what I want her to do anymore, so I’m spending some time as Dakota Lubitsch. Most of my unpublished and sometimes embarassing stories center around vampires (no, mine don’t sparkle, and most of them aren’t gay and/or sleeping with vampire hunters) and other dark creatures, so my avatar wears black today and gets to look like a little wannabe vampire/satanist. The new shirt from Flavor! Designs really helps with that.

P.S.: I have no idea whether that beard is still available. I bought it almost three years ago.

What I’m Wearing:
Skin: Rock -Pale- /01 Clean – Den-Dou
Eyes: Cabochon (Ruri) – FTL
Hair: Akio (Crimson/Modded) -Exile
Shirt: Button Up (BioHaz) – Flavor! Designs
Undershirt: 20% transparency Tank top/black – Muism
Pants: Classic jeans for men *black* – Zaara
Shoes: Classica – Kalnins Shoes
Gloves: EXMORE Gloves [Black] – Cheerno
Tattoo: Cracked – Huz Tats
Beard: SoulPatch (Black) – Here Comes Trouble

New @ Surf Couture

Emma Gilmour of Surf Couture released new clothes!

Left: Slouchy Thread Sweater in Pink Floral, Belmar Skinny Jeans in Gray, Right: Havering Dress in Black Tie

The Havering Dress was already available as a 50 Linden Friday item a couple of weeks ago, but light blue and white aren’t exactly my favourite colours, so I was happy when I found out that Emma had made a black version. The Havering Dress comes with two skirt versions (flexi and non-flexi). Single colours cost 175 L$, and the fatpack with 10 dresses is 1200 L$.

The Slouchy Thread Sweater is also new @ Surf Couture. I’ve paired it with the Belmar Skinny Jeans and a pair of old shoes from 50 Flats. The jeans are extremely well made. What I don’t like is that they don’t come with attachments though. These jeans are just system pants with socks so that they are a bit longer. When I’m not wearing prim pant legs, my ankles look kind of angular as you can see in the picture above, and I don’t like that.

The Slouchy Thread Sweater costs 140 L$ per colour or 550 L$ for a fatpack of five colours. The Belmar Skinny Jeans are 150/850 L$. They come in eight different washes, and each pack contains a version with and without dots.

 

Left:  Rendezvous V-Neck in Dusty Rose, Right: Rendezvous Printed V-Neck in Beige

The Rendezvous V-Neck  are my favourite part of Emma’s new release. They come in lots of different colours and prints so that it’s incredibly easy to mix and match them with other things. I can easily see them looking good with a skirt as well. They cost 115/1.100 L$ for plain colours and 125/700 L$ for print versions.

Look of the Day

Today I felt like playing the girl avatar. I originally made the shape I’m wearing for one of my alts. It’s a more traditional shape, tall, with long legs and everything. I’m also wearing a skin from LeLutka. If you don’t recognize my avatar immediately that’s why. Alt shape, different skin and an altogether different style.  I wanted to wear a more casual outfit for a change.

 What I’m Wearing:
Skin: LE.LOOK! la femme – Skin – Estelle Dark Brows/hb – LeLutka (LE.LOOK! gift)
Eyes: Tragic Eyes (dark brown) – Curio
Hair: Love Love Love (Dragees) – Tiny Bird
Sweater: Lucy Sweater (Chocolate) – SySy’s
Pants: Jeans {classic} *charcoal* – Zaara
Boots: ZipUpLeatherBoots_Copper – ANEXX

Poses: fri.day

Lola, Lola!

This morning I was a little bored in SL, so I IMed my friend Lola79 Hienrichs and asked her if she wanted to come over and let me photograph her. She agreed immediately because she wasn’t doing anything else at the time. She’s wearing the new dress Katat0nik made for Ozimals, and a tattoo she created herself. In my opinion Lola has one of the most interesting female avatars in Second Life!

Lola is wearing:
Eyes: Shine Silent Lucidity Soleil (large)
Shape: Custom
Lashes: Deviant Prim Lashes 01
Shoes: SiniStyle Combat Boots – Black
Facial Piercing: Lolapop! (formerly Otaku Designs) Star Attack Facial Piercing

Camelia @ Blue Blood

I already wanted to blog this Wednesday, but then I had a lot of stress at uni, and my cat was sick, so I only had time to do so now!

“This” is Blue Blood’s newest dress. It’s called Camelia, and I’m wearing it in black because black is my favourite color.

Doesn’t my girl avatar look cute?

Blogger Challenge: Then and Now

Everybody’s been posting pictures of what their avatars used to look like, so I decided to search my hard drive for some old screenshots as well.

This is the oldest pictures of my avatar. Two days after I joined SL. I had already found the fashion feed (back then there was only one) and was thus the proud owner of Gurl 6 hair, a Sin Skins skin and what I thought were really cool clothes.

One moth later (late June, early July 2007) I had already started my blog, and I had gotten a lot better at dressing my avatar and adjusting the shape:

The oldest picture of my male avatar, also 2007. That pose looks painful!

First rezday.

A Dakota in Winter / Goodbye 2009

It’s winter around these parts – or rather it’s supposed to be winter. We had the first snow in October, then it got warmer again, then it snowed some more, and now we have temperatures of around 10 degrees Celsius. So I log into SL and visit winter sims for that December feeling … IRL I’m only wearing a light jacket and a t-shirt most of the time because it’s so warm and sunny.

Btw, Happy New Year! This is my last post this year, and we’ll see each other in 2010!

What I’m Wearing:
Skin: Rock -Pale- /01 Clean – Den-Dou
Eyes: Cabochon (Ruri) – FTL

Yuki @ Blue Blood

Ghanima Uriza, one of my favourite designers of gothic fashion released a new outfit! Yuki costs 300 L$ and comes in a variety of different colors (including white goth!).

I’m wearing it in black because that’s the color I like best when it comes to Blue Blood clothes.
