52 Weeks of Color – Week 2

Week 2 of Luna Jubilee’s 52 Weeks of Color Blogger Challenge is Blue.

So I don’t apparently buy a lot of true blue things… I figured this was pretty much as close as I could get without using an outfit I’ve already blogged before or spending the next week buried in my inventory. :P  And besides, it gave me an excuse to wear this super adorable dress from Sn@tch!

Mystica

*Blows the dust off the blog*  Yes, it’s been quite sometime since I last blogged and since no one really noticed my absence I just kept on not blogging.  :P  Actually, I started a Tumblr blog that isn’t SL centric which has kinda become my new outlet so I have unfortunately let this blog lapse.  But, I’m back to fangirl squeeeee all over Siyu Suen’s lastest creation.  Words really can’t describe the loveliness of these new horns, they literally had me clapping with glee when I put them on, seriously, they are that amazing.  And of course there are a ton of horn, metal and stone color options to pretty much match your every mood.  I’m in love. <3

When Pigs Fly

Pig is having a 50% off sale right until tomorrow night and there are many bargains to be had.  I kind of went nuts, I just really loved the hand drawn goodness.  And, men’s wear!  Men really get slighted in SL and there’s precious few unique looks to be found and I think Pig offers some quirky men’s clothing that shouldn’t be missed.  So without further ado…

Men’s Skins

If you’ve seen my store blog, I mentioned I’ve been thinking of closing shop in a few months because things have just taken a nose dive into crapville and it’s getting to the point where it’s not even close to cost effective to even have a shop any longer.  But, even though it’s been taking a very heavy toll on my creativity, I dusted off the men’s skin I had started on and finally got it very close to finished. And I’m hella proud of it. I took Eloh Eliot‘s Pleiades skin base (thank you again Eloh for being so freakin’ awesome!!! :D) and then shaded and tweaked and highlighted and modded the everliving crap out of it. I’m not sure if I’ll ever sell the skin or not considering the questionable future of the store.. but we’ll see. Let me know your thoughts. :) Just be gentle, it’s his first time. ;)

Steamy

I told my husband I had steampunked his avatar and made him log in to see what I’d come up with so we could snap a few pics. Well while he didn’t do much more than stand there and provide some tasty arm candy, I’d say it was quite steamy… until he teleported away to go explore some Star Trek sim. :P I really loved these outfits and I think we’ll be sporting them for a while.  I also would like to express my love for OMFG and all the awesome, awesome steampunk goodness for only L$ 1.  So cool!

After

Second Life affords me the ability to play dress up on a really grand scale. If nothing else, this has by far been the reason why I keep coming back. The ability to morph my avatar into just about anything is very tantalizing.

I started the look with the skin which I basically did just as a way to use some awesome crack brushes I found on Deviant Art… I’ll hunt down a link and try to throw it in later. My husband always tries to throw suggestions at me for things to do and he had said something about Salem Witch Trials. Well, that seemed like it wouldn’t exactly translate to a skin so I went with an “After” theme which can really be translated however you like. I started out with the Minerva Witch’s Hat from Illusions.. another stunning piece of work from Siyu Suen and the catalyst for the whole outfit. I probably spent hours scouring the grid to find an outfit that gave off the air I wanted it to when I went back to BareRose for the umpteenth time and saw this outfit named “Stheno” and knew that was the one. Throw on some accessories and here you are.

The first picture is probably my favorite shot ever. I did minimal processing to it because it just came out really neat straight up from the game. And yeah, I got a pretty big kick out of using two “Cute” poses for this set. ^.~ As always, click the pictures to get to my Flickr page where you can view them larger where they look much better. :D
