Bucking the System

Back to Black has opened it’s doors today.The original one was set up like a backstage area, and it was so cute, with changing room and stage walk through. This time it has definitely grown into something inspiring…The build is like a metropolis all black cut out style, and the layout is easy to navigate with each theme having it’s own section. What is also wonderful is that there are columns throughout the event that provide phone numbers from many countries for support lines if in need of help. Also there are small blurbs of information to help you understand better the types of symptoms that may arise if people are suffering from mental health issues. It really is a great cause, so go and visit and get aware.

The items I am wearing today are from all over Second Life events wise. The first being of course the Back to Black event, with this beautiful bikini by Whippet & Buck – I love that store name, and to think if not for the Lindens making those names available it wouldn’t exist, there is another positive reason why last names really have had such a big impact on the grid in the past. This bikini is so lovely, and the colours are so perfect, I especially love the navy blue one.

The next item featured is lingerie that is also by W&B and is at this months Collabor88. Again not something to be missed out on, as this event is definitely jam packed full of greatness. The Tess Underthings are wonderful pieces and I especially love the colour contrast of the details in the sets. Great underwear like this is a must now with Mesh and Alpha not always rezzing for others and the need to focus on being a lot more discreet with our underthings.

The last photo is The Talk Dress, this is a beautiful mini dress, with plunging neckline and the shoulders feature the beautiful shoulder accents of the yolk previously released from W&B. I am so glad they did this, as the tanks previously released with were wonderful, but I love the idea of more Yolk Goodness. I wanted to go a bit further and extend the look, so I added some high waist tweed pants from Izzies, they pants are superbly crafted right down to the perfect crease down the front of the pants leg. The satchel bag I am holding in the pics is also from Izzies and is just beautiful leather work, the size of the bag is adorable for one such as this style, and the belts bring it in a little at the waist of the dress. The dress actually has a waist detailing but I felt the belt dressed it up a little more.

Now you will notice that I am wearing the Amaris skin from Adam n Eve and that I swapped from the Bewbs to Non Bewbs option mid way, that was to show that for this style of dress, the non bewbs enhancement is definitely the stylish option. For this type of dress there would actually not be the kind of support needed to hold your breasts in towards the centre that way, so a relaxed look is great. As so many skins have both options these days it is great that we can go from push up to regular with ease.
