Low Prim Goodness

What do you do when you have forty-five minutes until a fashion show, need to get dressed, but also need to be considerate of others and go low-prim to keep down lag? (yes you fash-holes, I said LOW PRIM AT FASHION SHOWS OMG) Well, for a show that happens to be hosted at Crimson Shadow, and includes goth-loli and retro-goodie, you find a retro-y skirt with skullz all over it, duh! :p This was just a quickie, I thought it came out kinda funny considering I put it together so quickly, with so little thought, and with such a cramp on prims. The outfit is under 50 prims if you take the choker off (I put it on after the show, just for this post) but even with the choker you are still under 70 prims.

I recently went on a COIF hair shopping spree, I had the demos in my DEMO folder forever, but I finally went and bought all the ones I wanted. This Ghost style is only six prims, comes ‘accessorized’ with the hat appeal and I felt like it kind of balanced the poofiness of the skirt. The skirt is from an outfit I got at rockerwear, it’s 14 prims, non-flexi and kind of exaggerated but when do I not like extremes? :p Plus it’s covered in cute little skullz! Win!

I had to try and find a top to pair with it because the top that comes with the skirt left my midriff exposed and that was such a fail I couldn’t tolerate it. The black underlayer is from Hushaby Baby, one thing I wanted to note about it is that it has a really bad seam line between the undershirt and underpants layer. The mesh that I wore on top of that is really fun and versatile and I haven’t found anything else like it on the grid, it comes in other colors also, I have it in black and white of course. :p

I had been waiting for an excuse to wear my katat0nik shoooz, and this was perfect timing, they’re small but still chunky and bubbly in an almost cartoon fun way - of course, the skull and bows only make these shoes that much kyoooter (and only 11 prims each!). I typed “socks” into my inventory and threw on the first pair that was solid black, simple! The choker was an after thought for this post, I had no idea I even owned it until I started riffling through my inventory, but I’m glad I found it …it’s simple yet still rather intricate and the bow lacing that ties in the back almost perfectly matches the shoes! Score!

Anyway, I’m done. That’s one way you can go low-prim but still cute and fun. Or you could always just go get one of those low-lag shopping avatars and go NINJA style! Woot! By the way, I’m so proud of you guys - Winter, E, Ach, Vosh, and everyone who participated in the show! Good luck to you guys! <3

Eat Me.

Okay, so I’m standing around talking to Bo and she says ‘So, what did Law do for your birthday?’ and I rambled on about how he’s not real big on holidays and birthdays. Fifteen minutes later, she says ‘So, he didn’t do anything? Really?’ and I explain that nope, we just goobered around like we always do. In the meantime, Law is on voice and he says “honey, wanna go shopping?” and I say “yeah” and I wait for a tp. While I’m waiting, Bo says “oh, I gotta go, brb.” and she poofs into thin air. Odd. Then I go “honey are you gonna tp me already? geez I said I wanna go shopping!” and a minute later he sends a tp with the following: “you know I love you, right honey?” and then I fall into a muck of people and hear surprises and happy birthdays. Awwwwwww. My honey and buddies threw me a surprise bday party. So much <3 for you turds.

That’s my story and I’m sticking to it. And it’s also the reason for this post. I originally showed up for my party in my usual dark and wicked…but I felt so special and so adored (heh) that I needed to look more like a princess. Insert Sofia London’s kewwwwwt Marshmellow Dream dress. The first time I saw it in a notice I went “OOh! now that one I like!” and I knew I’d have it, but she was so sweet she dropped it on me before I could make my shopping rounds and snag it up. Thank you Sofia!! It’s not my normal dark colors, but I think I can pull off white rather well too. :p It’s just so fun, so poofy, so pristine and yummy…makes me wanna twirl all day and curtsey to random strangers. I liked it so much I wore the whole damn thing right out of the box, shoulder bear and all!

I don’t own a white hair that I am aware of, and in order to keep the marshmellow hat rawkin, I needed something short and for short black goodness I always return to the amazingly textured and styled Aden hairs. I tried on one of my rarely used CS skins, from the Winter series…I don’t really do color makeup so well, but this one felt cool and icy kind of like all that white fluffy goodness makes me feel. That’s also why I chose to go with Muse’s celestine jewelry set - I mean, come on, Caliah is the mother-f’n QUEEN of jewelry in SL.

The gloves were a pure stroke of luck, I didn’t even know I owned them, I just typed in ‘white’ and came across them…but I’m really glad I did, they’re awesome! I love that they have prims not just at the wrist, but also the upper arm - and we all know I love having shit dangling off my upper arms. I tinted them, they were originally a mix of white, grey and darker grey. I really wanted a white star or snowflake tattoo to cover Dove’s chest and back, but I couldn’t find one, and couldn’t be arsed to make one on such short notice. It’s my week off, I earned it! :p The socks are a rerun but a goodie, and the shoes were a total hunt-freebie from the super-sweet :69: - another one I was lucky to even own, white shoes. Skullz + shoes = um, no brainer!

Of course I couldn’t sign off without doing something a *leedle* bit disturbing. Now, eat me.

Geek Chic

I have to admit that this crazy little outfit was originally inspired by Sai (and a gift from Winter! <3), when she blogged this too-cute dress from Elate. What they say is true, the prim ruffles on it really are perfect…no resizing required for the big booty, and it just moves and wiggles in such a fun way. Of course, I can’t just do anything simple, I had to give it my own personal twist…

Enter Curio Obscura’s ‘Sausage Curls’ …how can you not want to slap hair on your head that has sausage in the name? With a hair like this I really can’t take myself seriously (not that I ever do) …and the glasses I had just recently picked up free from VintageWear gave me the dorky edge I was looking for. It’s kind of like a nerd walked into a circus tent - with lots of black. I really wanted to add a hat or some kind of topping to this hair, but nothing I had in my inventory went well with it, if you guys have any ideas let me know!

Leggings, I love leggings, but you guys already knew that, and although this dress truly is a stand-alone beauty, I wanted to tone it down a notch and take it from night-out, sexy-slink to frilly-cute, sun-fun. Those lace trimmings you see on the bottom of the leggings do not come included, I jacked them from a pair of socks I have and adjusted them to look like they go together. I am so clever. :p

The shoes were just a bit of too-chic mixed in because I think it’s fun(ny) to take something ultra-uber-omg-hawt-shit and mix it up with stuff that doesn’t even make sense. I threw in some sleeve-tats for a little extra freak, slapped some stitched insides on Dove’s back and yeah…I put a spider on her shoulder, I have no idea why. I think he’s cute though. And there you go, fashion-blahblah. This is why I don’t do this blogging stuff ‘professionally’ ….

Poofy Creep

I haven’t been able to *really* get dressed in weeks…I’ve been too busy to take the time required for an outfit assembly. I’ve been ‘out-of-the-box’ing it. GASP. Not just that, but my inventory hasn’t been sorted in probably two months, I had 8k worth of items sitting, taunting me. Today I started breaking it down some, since I’m home-alone for the weekend (miss you already baby!) and in the process I found a few pieces that were a *must* to wear so I started throwing them on.

The main reason for this outfit and probably the piece that I most adore is this new dress from amerie’s NAUGHTY, it’s called Jellybean and it’s too cute! Lots of lace, poofy, figure-swallowing skirt and a HUGE bow on the front! Yes, it’s pink …but I dealt with it. :p You can mod it and tint that sucker any color you want, I left it alone because the pink broke up all the black rather nicely.

I have so many hairs from booN and I can’t pick a favorite, they’re all such great texture work and rich colors, and the styles are so unique - you can easily spot a booN hair in a crowded room. This one isn’t a style I would normally wear but when I bought it I knew it would fit my dolly-girl looks pretty well. I love that it’s so big, you can’t really tell in these photos but in the back it layers and layers, kind of swelling out and up, like an onion. I love that.

The shoes were kind of hard for me to settle on, I thought I wanted to do the typical chunky ribbons and straps gothy-lolita style shoe but I really really love my UBU rainboots and I think they give any poofy dress outfit a nice dose of ‘aw cute’ in the way they are over-sized and clunky-looking. I can just picture shorty Dove running around struggling not to let the rain boots trip her up or fall off of her feet.

Lastly, I wanted huge, spine-crippling beads for a necklace and I recalled that HoH had just released a new necklace that fit perfectly! I’m wearing the silver version which is mod, so I just tinted it black and voila. As for the rest, it’s all goodness but I’m too lazy to actually mention it. A little modded-up curious kitties, a too-sweet freebie hat, fuzzy leather gloves, and of course some killer socks. For a final dose of cutie-effect, I threw this funny little guy on Dove’s back and let him ride around for awhile…figure I might as well get some use out of all the crazy shit I have in my ‘Random Stuff’ folder. Heh.

How I Love Thee, Part I

Sometimes I feel like I don’t pause enough to appreciate all the fun and amazing things in SL, and I tend to jump on the wagon and nitpick just as quick as the next. So, I thought it would be fun to share things that I do SO love! These are a few things from my inventory that I have an addiction to, that I cannot stop buying, that I can’t say no to, that are just downright irresistable to me!

The first installment of love fest 08 is: socks! Lovely, beautiful socks. The most adorable accessory an avatar can own. Socks, leggings, tights, stockings, pantyhose - whatever you want to call them, they’re nothing but lovelovelove. This is my homage to the socks in my inventory - not even half of them, not even a quarter of them, but some of my favorites or some that are just plain worthy of mention and attention. Even as I was working on this post, just in the course of a day, I’ve probably already added 10 new pairs of socks to my inventory collection. It’s a sickness …it’s love, what can I say.

First up we have the shorter sockies, some primmed up, some tubed, some frilled - all cute. You’ll notice, if you haven’t already been reading my blog, that I love stripes and I love black and white. Most of my socks reflect this in some way. I’m a sucker for anything with skulls on it, that’s the wannabe gothy-punk girl in me coming out. I normally can’t resist a lower-bunched prim sock either, basically because they’re not all that common. And tube socks, I love to steal guy’s tube socks and prance around in them, it’s almost as hawt as a chick in guy’s boxers. The Nyla frilly socks are so cute and unlike anything I’ve found anywhere else, but you should be aware that the prims do wonky things when your legs bend and move.

(L-R)
*Needful Things* -  Emo Punk Socks, gray
*Saha Neko Stuff*  - lucky socks, white
Ducknipple - prim socks, grey
Primitive Designs - fuckd uP socks, black
Sh*t Happens - Tube socks calf high, black
House of Nyla - white eyelet lace frill socks

 
Next, the slightly longer styles, knee and thigh, I love to pair a knee-high sock with some leggings, it’s just something that makes me feel all warm and fuzzy inside - gotta love the sock/underpant layers. I really love when designers take something as simple as a sock layer and add prims to it and make it so much more fun and dynamic. That’s what attracted me to the Shiny Thing’s socks, that and they’re plaid - but just that simple addition of ribbons at the sides totally sold me. Same deal with woolies, I’m a sucker for them because of those fat primmies that ride high on the thigh and just look so warm and inviting - yum.

(L-R)
Shiny Things - Weird Plaid socks, black
DUTCH TOUCH - Old socks combination pack, grey
*DP Serendipity - Pippi socks long, blue
*Honey+Kitty* - Dot border socks, black and white
Canimal - Torn socks over stockings, black
WRONG  - stripey socks, black
Curious Kitties - Pretty Jinsei Butterfly Stockings, Black

And then there were the thigh-highs. I tend to lean towards the more dramatic in thigh-highs than I imagine most people do. When most people think thigh-highs they probably think sexy-hawt - which they are, don’t get me wrong ..but I rarely wear them for that reason. I wear them as an accessory to cuteness, wrongness …general disturbedness (is that a word?). I rarely wear skirts short enough to show them off, so I go for the flare, the bang from foot to thigh as you can see. I love lace work on thigh-highs, but I have to admit that even though they don’t really come in a color combo that I can thoroughly enjoy, the thigh-highs from LeeZu are really inventive and different from most styles out there.

(L-R)
*amerie’s Naughty*  - Candy socks STAR (long)
Spice & Sugar - party girl stocking
*amerie’s Naughty*  - torn fishnets, midnight
LeeZu Baxter - Anna Stockings
*Sheer* - Nylons Stripes, Black
[lilolOops]  - japonese flowers leggings

Lastly, the full length - hose, stockings, tights, whatever you call them. These are great for any purpose really - shorts, skirts, 3/4 pants and so on. The only time these might get a little annoying is if your pant/glitch layer is too short and shows the tops, or if they are on the same underpant layer your stockings probably will be on - eep! I love glittery and metallic sheers in my full-lengths, something about them really pulls it off in a way the shorter styles and lengths can’t. It’s probably a good thing I walk around in stockings and so many layers all the time, since I think I might only own like two pairs of panties in my entire inventory - otherwise the upskirt shots might get ugly. :o 

(L-R)
Blaze*  - pantyhose, black
G.L.A.M. - tintable metallic lycra tights, gold
Shop SEU - Taitsu taight, blue
Gigi Couture - Solid Black Glitter tights
Draconic Kiss - Striped stocking, black and white

Whew. Okay, I’m done babbling on about this shit like I actually know anything about it. But yeah, those are just a few examples of the socks I love and why. I realized while writing this post that I completely left out one of my all-time favorites and I really need to give a shout-out to Digit Darkes, totally awesome socks there! Also, I had some socks from bijou already, but I made another visit today and found even more upstairs - they’re too cute, you should go get those too. I need to add that most of these socks come in packs with tons of colors, or they can at least be bought in other colors.

Ack, I wish I had more time, room and a longer attention span and I would so blog socks for days and days. :p How I Love Thee, Part II, coming to a blog near you soon! 

Drop Dead Fashionista!

The second that I saw the Tiffany hat from Cachet hit the feeds, I knew I wanted to get my grubby paws on it and butcher the hell out of it. So yeah, when people ask me ‘hey, what did you buy at Cachet?’ - I can respond with ‘um, a hat and a pair of gloves.’ The hat you see in these pictures is probably pretty unrecognizable, that’s the result of not only retexturing, but also tinting- yay! Go team me! <3 mod/copy items!

So, I had the hat, picked a hair to stuff under it and then I got a brilliant idea - why not bust down a pretty. Yes, I’m coining that one. What is busting down a pretty? It’s when you take a pretty idea and ruin it to pieces. That’s when I thought - oooh, I can put on all my “fabulously glamglamglam” items and parade them around in the way only I’d consider absolutely cool. In comes another item I got from one of those hot-off-the-press designers: Paper Couture - dangling pearl earrings. Yeah…I got shoes and jewelry from there. Heh.

I tossed on a <3 Cupcakes dress, always a winner for that cute-babydoll look - again, darkly tinted. I also went back to my favorite lace choices from amerie’s NAUGHTY and topped it all off with some blood, bandages and wounds. Yum! There’s some various odds and ends added in the mix, like the big fat pearls that every ga(g)-ga(g)-fashionista needs and I can’t seem to stand having my upper arms bare so I threw on some arm-bows too. The shoes were just a fun way of keeping it butchy-boi, with my own personal flare.

There you go, that’s how you go from fashionista to fashion-whatthafucka.

Funky Fluff’n'Stuff

This outfit isn’t anything amazing, I mostly threw it together just as an excuse to wear my ]monogrind[ mosh and roll shoes (you can see a better picture of them over on Law's blog: Half Arsed), and this too-cool skele beater from Schroodenfrooden (yeah, I say the name of that shop however it pops out of my mouth). Somehow, after picking through my inventory I ended up with something almost girly, but ...oddly, fluffy? Dunno how that happened. It looks cluttered, but honestly, knowing me and my obsession with attachments, if I had taken more time and had more patience, I would have added even more adornments. Since I was goofing for the most part, I slapped on an emoter while taking the photos and had a little fun with that. hehe.

The hair I chose is a longer style than I would normally wear, but it was just funky enough to make the mark. I tinted it darkly because it only comes in a brownish shade, but in photos and the new fucked WL viewer the tinting washes out most of the texture and gives it no depth - so for these photos I lightened it back up some. No, I'm not going brunette, do not worry. :p As you can see, the skele-beater is just fantastic goodness, what's not to love about it? I took a front and back shot because you just have to see how cool it is. I wanted to pair it up with a tattoo because I felt my arms/shoulder area were left too bare but I have this terrible habit of buying tattoos without considering how they will look with most of the clothing in my inventory...so yeah...I end up with tats that are mostly hidden under clothing. I suckzor. Instead, I went with the always fail-safe fishnet layer! Woo!

These shoes were the entire inspiration for this outfit - I just HAD to wear them and needed an outfit in a hurry so I could get them on my feet and parade around in them. I lovelovelove them! They are so much more spectacular in-world - trust me, but yeah, go over to Half Arsed for an even better photo of them. Oh, as a side note - I typically love the hell out of leg warmers of any kind...but I found these in my inventory while trying to find a pair to wear with this outfit ...and I'm not gonna say I'm entirely happy with them. First of all, they're mod but you can't mod them smaller without doing it in pieces because it already has small prims attached to it. Secondly, they're huge and bulky and for a shorter-legged ava, they tend to swallow you whole (even though sometimes I like that dwarfed look on Dove) and forget about bending the knee even slightly, they're going to look like they are jutting from your leg weirdly. I really only kept them in this outfit because they went nicely with the fluffiness of my arm warmers and the string-dangle-ness of my upper-arm wraps. I'll probably be deleting them after I finish wearing-out this outfit.

There ya go, lazy credits below!

Pixie Cute

I didn’t want to do another ranting or silly post, but I felt like doing ….something…and since I’ve been shopping like mad-crazy the past week, why not do another one of these fashion-y things? :p This one is kinda pixie-cute, and in my typical black/white shades and tones. I was actually really tempted to slap some wings on this one, but it kept throwing off another attachment so I gave up in the face of having to find a new attach point for something else. I’m lazy!

You’ve probably already seen or knowing you guys, own, this cute Mimikri blouse and skirt combo (I opted for the short white rather than the matching black pattern skirt). It’s a little pricey but it’s really adorable and versatile with lots of layering and attachment options - not only that, but in the store you can find multiple layers of clothing to pair up (pants, skirts, etc). As soon as I saw it on the feeds I knew I wanted to have it and work it with my own personal, quirky, style. Originally, I thought I might work more color into this outfit, believe it or not - but once I got started, I just happened to have enough pieces in my inventory that just ….fit. I’m still not 100% happy with the final outcome of the look, it seems a little lacking, but maybe there’s some beauty to the simplicity. I guess I can’t be wearing wounds & stitches ALL the time. :p

If you haven’t been to amerie’s NAUGHTY yet - what rock have you been hiding under? It’s really one of the better kept secrets in SL, although it’s not quite so secret anymore. (aside: you should check out Spice & Sugar, her sister-project shop with a friend, cute stuffs!) If there’s one thing that amerie does well, it’s lace, and I lovelovelove her leggings. I actually combined two different pairs in this outfit; an underpant layer that was a simple lace-fringed pair of white leggings, and over that I wore black-lace, floral patterned stockings. Why did I do this? Because I could. I also happened to like the way the black-on-white muted the black and the white underneath left no leg-flesh to peek out.

Oh, and I can’t stop there without mentioning the leg warmers. I don’t really give enough credit to Curious Kitties, I have been a LONG time fan of CK (even back when DK was part of CK), probably bought my first item from CK in my first weeks in-world…and probably half of the accessories and odds’n'ends in my inventory are from CK - so I really wanted to pause and mention that if you guys are ever in the market for really cute and cheap accessories that are absolute quality and detail - you should go there. I mean, CK offers a WIDE wide wide range of inventory (skins, hairs, clothing, even plants!) but my favorite part of the sim is the accessory section. Collars, jewelry, arm and leg warmers, hair accessories, ribbons, bows, hats, bells - you name it, it’s there and done in such a unique and special way. The necklace I’m wearing in this outfit also comes from CK, I told you, I’m a true fan.

Of course, I had to spice this outfit up with a little “Dove” attitude….so yeah, that’s a spiked arm-bracer you see there. Heh. I couldn’t help myself. Kinda makes you go “awww” and just as you get close enough to peek at the cutie, she slices you into bits and pieces and eats you for dinner! Rawr! Or something. Last but not least, if you know me, which most of you won’t know this - but those who do will know instantly why I just had to own this hair as soon as I saw it. Not just because it’s spunky and different, but well ….if you know, you do, if not …maybe one day. That’s it from me …once again I’m not gonna bother with SLURLS, but if you need an LM just yell at me in-game! <3

Punky Fresh

I was standing around professing my undying love to Law (or maybe we were just plain ol’ boinkin-dirty) when I got an IM from our beloved Triangle! <3 She told me that a friend was doing a photo shoot and needed some bodies, some grungy bodies and that Law and I came to mind. At the time I had been trying on my RFL Clothing Fair scores, so I was bald, half naked, wearing a dress that was pink and not at all grungy - unless you count that dirty, grimy stuff in my crack (Law put it there I swears it!). Anywho…I told him, and we started getting dressed, an event that took near two hours, which isn’t bad for the two of us. What I ended up with wasn’t very grungy at all in my opinion, I guess I fail at life or something, but when I look at this mashup I keep hearing “punky fresh” and I like it. So, you guys get to like it too.

I’ve been piecing together some retro-looks for a post that Law is working on later down the road…so my main outfit is made up of pieces from /artilleri/ - which I love. I combined two of her outfits to create a new one and hid the tiny oopsies of texture alignment and such with her snakeskin belt. As a note, both pieces are not quite as dark originally as I have them here - I tinted them darker for my own purposes…which washed out some of the great texture detail unfortunately. That skully on the front panel is actually a jacket layer you can switch in and out for other cool emblems!

I had been dying to figure out a way to wear this funky-fun hair, and when I cycled through my hair folders and this one popped on ..it just went “ding!” and that was all she wrote. You probably can’t tell in the photos but I also tried on one of my newer skin choices from CS, it’s a bit more color and fresh than I would normally opt for, but I like it. I recently bought some new eye-colors also…branching out from my previous ….omigod…..THREE colors! Hehe.

Of course I took a little BareRose (mmm stripey goodness) and dripped it along the arms, and I pulled off one of my favorite stocking combos - fishnets on the underwear layer and Canimal’s torn stockings on the sock layer, tinted darkly. The boots I’m wearing are especially awesome because you can’t get them in-world anymore. HA! I just love to flaunt them, watch me put “N/A” down there in the credits, I’ll do it dammit. But aren’t they so fun? Two seperate sets of boots, a shoe from each one that happened to go together nicely.

That’s it. It’s late and I’m too lazy to actually post SLURLS, so if you are interested in something, just yell at me and I’ll figure out where you can find it - most of these should be pretty easy though.

Rawk Bish

 

Oh look, I’m doing this fashion-y thing again! I’ve been having fun putting together outfits, and I like sharing them, so, yeah, suffer. This one started out with me trying to find a way to rawk more and more of my new Black Maria hair (it’s all Law’s fault, I blame him for dragging me along). I knew I had a perfect win-combination when we were at Emery and I happened to notice this slinky-slutty number on the wall. Yes, that’s my fashion descriptive for it - if you try to tell me it’s couture or chic, I will punch you in the nose - it’s riding yer squatch crack and missing the entire back of it. It’s slut. Deal. I happened to love it that way too.

I don’t get to do slutty very often (Lawless Gertrude McBride, hush yo mouth!) - so this was a fun chance for me to see what I could pull out (and off, heh). I had my dress, I had my hair and after that it was just a simple matter of narrowing the options down to two and forcing Law to pick for me when I couldn’t make up my mind. Fishnets or sheer. Leg warmers or anklets. Belt or no belt. Speaking of belts, anyone know where to find a really slinky/simple chain or coin-styled belt? Something delicate….I really wished I’d had it for this outfit - that or a huge buckled, sequin-blaring belt would have been nice.

Anyway, I’m not down with all this weird fashion-speak - love it or hate it, there it is. Credits down there.
