blog – Elvish has left the building
If you had to travel around the whole world in a night, you would need some motivation to get yourself home fast. Now there has always been talk of a Mrs Claus, but who is to say that she wasn’t some sexy elf to begin with, and I tell you what, if she looks as good as the New Elf skins, then no wonder he is Jolly.
Such beautiful changes to the NEW Gala skins, the nose is pert and mischievous, the mouth is definitely bow shaped and kissable…and the eyebrows are a lighter more refined shape. The overall body, and the way the skins are packaged is as usual, beautiful make ups in two variations to choose from, with dark and light options, and freckles.
I know I am a bit early, and definitely so for us down here, stifling hot as it is. But I just couldn’t resist showing off my new boots, I already have these in the regular version, and have blogged them in the past. But seeing these as almost lick worthy Christmas themed boots, I just had to have them, and they are an awesome price on xstreet too.
I always knew I was going to have a need for the Elf hair, and today was totally that day. Another perfect time for the gorgeous velvet dress by Fishy Strawberry, I love this dress…in all the colours it comes in it is fabulous, but most definitely the red will see you through this coming festive season.
While I was on my VR Professional Stand, which is often the case…a notice came down from FAKE and WOWZA what a skirt…I tpd over and had to grab the lime and black option, it is seriously a skirt MUST HAVE. The styling and use of sculpties and prims is genius, the effect of the back is like wearing tuxedo tails, it is just divine.
Equally divine are the newest Kalnins release, the Orchid shoes are as usual perfectly fun to coordinate to your look via the hud, the tinting of skins is easyish, sometimes depending on the skin it is killer easy, sometimes a little harder, but all the more reason to buy lots of skins in lots of tones, so you can match the skin to your feet, instead of vice versa lol.
Ashia and Sofia decided that I needed to look more relaxed in the eyes department (stoned) being as I had always had my eyes, and such catering to work rather than play or whatever, I didn’t really mind, more closed only no changes to actual size. I am not sure how I will do with it though , doesn’t feel like me yet, I kind of liked having my eyes open rather than squinting. Seeing as I am usually online in the early hours of the am, so I tended to convince myself I was more awake than I was lol.

Nosferatu
A few weeks back Justice of Counter Couture, Arabella or Arabella’s Amblings and I were hanging at The Deck, when I was admiring Justice’s leather pants. I don’t inspect us, I ask just because it’s not like any of us wouldn’t share the info lol.
Justice was excited to share a store she had found in her travels a few days before, and off we went. BUY BUY BUY BUY BUY, I don’t think our mouse’s could keep up. The store is more towards theme wear, than everyday fashion pieces, but this being Second Life, theme wear and costumes are pretty much the norm. Had I had the first outfit way back when best in red and black were an every few days occurance, I would be rich by now.
The prim work is fantastic, especially on that cape, and the fluidity of the flex is amazing. The leather pants that we went for in the first place actually come on both layers and three different options, plain, dragon or stars, which are just soft imprints in the leather..the prices are fabulous and the texture work is marvelous on all of it.
It is so much fun shopping in conference, especially with voice, we don’t type much at all with eachother..and on this occasion it was the three of us, on all three sides of the store going “OMG did you see this ?” , “NO, but did you get those?” and so on.
Perfect for this post is the Nosferatu AO from Red Queen [rQ] , as soon as I saw it running through its fabulous animations I thought Dracula…not knowing at all at the time what Nosferatu was, but I actually did, and ooooooo it’s scary. Nosferatu was the first Count Dracula based movie, a silent film actually that depicted what was later Count Dracula as Count Orlok that really really creepy bald vampire guy. Get more info HERE …and if you can handle it, watch it HERE.
How Magicka got the animations so right, and the fingers and hand movements so fluid is really a tribute to this original movie…so for any aspiring Vampires this is the AO for you.

I’m a woos, no it’s true, I have blubbered so many times this week it’s just whatever. But one thing that will absolutely tip me over emotionally, is the idea of a friend being hurt. I even mean virtually, don’t ever ‘headshot’ gesture in front of me, coz I will go off my nut at you.
That’s why I am sure to get spanked for this post, especially from Newdoll who will be all indignant that I am wearing a cyber heart, as the idea of her wearing a steampunk one a few weeks ago, spun me out.
But that is the way it is, when you are constantly surrounded by people that reach out a little from the norm, we all do it in our group, and it rubs off. It’s funny because we all have such varying tastes, but end up loving such similar if not the exact same things, as you have seen recently in some of our cross over posts.
Mixing it all up, I went to [rQ] earlier today, and was playing with the hair, tails, ears and animations.
I think it makes so much sense for Hair Designers to make tails and ears, I mean you have the customers already wearing your hair, so why not give them the option of their other parts being in the same rich textures, and these Kitten tails and ears are just win win win.
One thing that I love doing is shooting animations. If you have read my posts in the past you will know this isn’t the first time I have done this, and also won’t be the last.
Red Queen has some incredible Anime AO’s , which I will be featuring over the next few posts, the pics today are taken from just one of them, and I could have taken dozens more pictures with them.
Magicka Moonites is the creator of the AO’s from Red Queen, and between her and Ruth Quan the creativity and energy is wonderful.
Tips to taking pictures of animations:
1. Unpack the AO just as though it is a box.
2. Load them into a posestand – I use the VR Professional Posestand and HUD.
3. Change animations just as though you would poses, but be patient and let them run through the whole animation before you start taking pictures.
4. If the animation has a lot of fast movement, go to Advanced > Character > Slow Motion Animations and click on it. This will slow them down so that you can shoot your pictures a little easier, do not forget to uncheck it when you are done.
Shooting animations is not only a lot of fun, but it actually extends your range of picture taking, giving more flexibility to the images, as well as actually giving you a lot more picture options in the one animation, which can actually save you money in the long run.
The other great part is that when you have animations to shoot with, things like incredibly flowing hair or tails such as the ones I have on today get captured in movement, and it really is fun to shoot that way.
Wanting to show off as much of the Red Queen skins as possible, not only do you get light and dark brows, but also a ‘Damage” look, which I thought was fun to wear after my obvious and so graceful fall.
These skins as did the first release, have such lovely toned bodies, and incredible make ups, making the eyes a definite feature to the skins make up.
I swung by Paradisis on my way home, always one for baring some skin, this store does not disapoint. I actually got much more than I shot, but you can see a bit of a mix in the items shown.
If you have been looking for more in the way of shorts with suspenders and sexy thigh high stockings, then the Hands Off set is a MUST HAVE. I am also definitely in love with the set shown in the top pictures which not only have creamy stockings but also thick rubberised and holey leggings over the tops.
The Wrapped Boots I am wearing in the top pics are boots that Ashia Tomsen of Inventory Episode keeps asking me if I have gotten them yet, I HAVE HAVE HAVE NOW. I told myself I had to wait a few weeks for those and some other items I have to go grab soon.
Boots like this are always so fun, they definitely add a spring to your step, and whether a little ball of energy like Ashia or tall like myself, they are such fun. Also fun for boots, and sexy by name and nature are the Kinky boots by Utopia, I have actually taken the shiny off these boots in edit, yes miracle of miracles they are mod, funnily enough many kinky things are :P.

Pride – Red Queen [rQ], Elixir, Utopia,Essentia
When you have NEW Skins to show, from a store like Red Queen [rQ], you really want to try and go with that edgier more RP look if you can, even though these are so beautiful and would look great if wearing a frock with pretty flowers on it as well, I wanted to go with more of a kicking bum kind of look.
Now if I was the target of said bum kicking, and believe me lately it feels like I have been, I am prepared with the rubbery goodness of Elixir, yes two posts in a row of Elixir goodies. I am wearing the Renegade Outriders in Black, Black/White,Black/Lime and Black/Violet.
These pants are sold seperately, and come on both layers giving you a snug boot fit, I love the rubbery look, with the open sides cinched with straps and netting over layers on the legs, it’s all in keeping with that futuristic look they are going with lately. The Renegade Outrider pants also remind me of BMX or Dirt Bike riding outfits, so it’s all dependant on how you play.
The Renegade Vest/Harness also comes with colour options, and have a great blend of rubber and latex, I love also that you can wear the harness style only as shown with the shorter look. Definitely an enjoyable outfit combo to show off the Skins by Red Queen [rQ]. Showing off the bodies I am wearing the Latex Bikini also from Elixir.
These skins are shown in the Tan and Sun versions, they also come with dark and light brows, as well as tattoo’d versions, which is just a nice way to accentuate the lower back, and save a clothing layer for something else.
The Basic and Pride make ups are full of parts to love and truly admire the way that Ruth Quan of Red Queen [rQ] weaves her PS wand. Basic is the first picture of faces, Pride is the second and more dramatic, both have such beautiful features especially the inner corners of the eyes, the liner accents there are marvelous.
I also really like how the upper lip seems to curl up in a sensual pout, I hope that Ruth does a lot more make ups in this skin range, I would love to see the effects she has done with the purple shadow with deep reds and other rich colours, oooo silver would be yummy too :P.
The body is fit and lovely, and the scattered moles and freckles across the torso give it a nice natural look. DEMO DEMO DEMO you will love it. The Hair I am wearing also from Red Queen [rQ] is Dreams, a great long and piled up style.

When you have such a curvacious looking skin, it is your duty to wear as little as possible, and if you can’t wear too little then definitely make sure what you wear shows off as much as possible. Not too hard to do if you shop at Luck Inc and Cynful, which share a sim and a definite passion for the naughty.
The Snake Pants from Cynful are as low as I have ever seen pants go, and not just the front but the back, and what better way to celebrate the fact that the NEW Star Skins by Dutch Touch come with a shaved version, than to wear these pants.
Cynful is the kind of store, that you thank goodness has only so far got a smallish range of clothing, because within moments you have pretty much bought the entire store and can’t wait for more. The Snake pants come in a few different colours, and the grey are the ones I am wearing, I thought being the grey they were a nice in between of black and light grey. Be aware though that they are very bum baring, pretty much mid way down the cheeks, so definitely not for the modest.
The Bowtiful tops by Cynful come in both sheer or solid, I bought both, these are the sheer though and done so beautifully with a bazillion options. They have the option of straps or no straps, lace or no lace and on all layers, and they are just beautiful to wear with all sorts of looks.
Another top that actually lead me over to Cynful that day, is the Crop Shop not sheer top, this top has also different versions, one being the optional top that has been created using a texture that implies shadows from the fabric being stretched across the breasts, that is then finished off with a prim. These tops are available in many colours as well as a camo print.
The other day Newdoll, Ashia and I were at a store and saw a girl wearing these Button shorts, working out they were from Luck Inc off we went. They do have a closed front version as well and come on all layers, but the open front ones are too yummy. The Suspenders are sold separately, and come in the same colours as the shorts, I highly recommend trying the suspenders as I know they are called out for often and these are great, especially in the colours they are available in , as well as on all layers.
The boots I am wearing are a MUST HAVE , they are at least 50inches high lol and are Pure Black Opaques from Utopia, I am so excited that Utopia finally has a store, I found them on Xstreet a few months ago , and have been waiting ever since for newness, and these boots are it.
Other Newness is in the Uzuri Stores Jewelry range, one so new it was only cast in the last few hours. The Anganasa Necklace is just lovely , beads of both gold and silver crafted into an elegant necklace, the Zamani Bangle in silver is a stunning piece of work, the texture of the unpolished silver is just lovely.
You may have noticed I have a thing for socks and leggings, well when I saw the Kookie Hole Leggings it was love, they come in a pack with all layers and a nice range of colours, I would love to see more of these produced soon.
The hair I am wearing in the top picute is Winter by Kyoot, an older style but one that I had been meaning to grab for so long and finally did recently, Winter is so girly; I much prefer it to summer, and have already been discussing that I will need to do some wintery posts during your summer or I will be too cranky lol.
The second style is by Red Queen and is Threats, a shorter style than normal for Red Queen hair, but just as fabulous as all if not more so, as it seems to be a little tamer. The other style I am wearing is Easy by Red Queen which I have worn in the past and brings the hair back from the face making it easier to see the stunning make ups on this New Star skin by Dutch Touch.
I am wearing the Walnut tone, which is darker than I usually wear, but oh so beautiful. Not only are there 15 stunning make ups, only 8 shown, but you also have freckles which are a smattering across the nose and cheeks, with brow options and SHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAVED.
I know I know, I get excited over such nonsense, but when I was discussing this need with Iki the other week and shortly after went and bought the Snake Pants, I was unable to wear them with many of my skins, I am pretty sure the shorts would probably be the same.
These skins though are just so spot on everywhere, they are incredible naked, totally made for becoming a nudist. I am really in awe of the stomach though, something about how its shaded with the belly button, pelvic bone and hips, it all has a really beautiful curvy look that is all woman.
Check out the Demos of all the Dutch Touch skins as soon as you can, the range is delightful.
The Green Mist eyes I am wearing are by Silhouette by Carissa Crimson, I don’t believe they are released as of yet, but keep your eyes open for those (pun pun punnnn) they are really beautiful and have such lovely reflections built in.
