Simply Sexy In Blacklace…

It has been a long while since I have found something I have liked so much at Blacklace that I had to stop what I was doing to run an get it.  However all that changed this morning.  I was dutifully cleaning out my notecards to keep my inventory count below 50K when I came across the LOW of the week posting.  I clicked the picture and squeed!  Not only is this new low certainly LOW in linden – ONLY 98L LADIES – but it’s black and red, my two most favourite colours EVER!

I love the details in this item.  From the frills of lace at the tops of the satin gloves to the bottom of the corset.  The lacing detail on the back is amazing as always, and the overall look is just so simple, and sexy, I couldn’t walk away without making it mine.

Sometimes going through your folders can work to your advantage.  I am out of sequence, but when I saw this I simply couldn't resist.  I've had a bevy of items from one of my favorite stores that I've wanted to use and never could figure out how to put them together. Then BAM: I need a shot for the red week of the 52 week color challenge (week 15).

I could gush for hours on how amazing Ivey's fantasy creations can be and are. I could go on and on about the affordability of her store and the fact that you get variety with every purchase since the low price you pay covers only fat packs.  But I'll simply say this: I love Sn@tch.  It's that simple.I LOVE SN@TCH and I'm not ashamed! (falls over in a giggle fit at the tongue in ... oh my that's not even gonna come out right! BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA) Everything in this photo, save my skin, shape and hair is from this marvelous store.  They may not always have light colors, pastels or flowery type apparel, but Ivey Deschanel kicks butt in how she specializes in goth/fantasy apparel and accessories.

The hair is from a fairly new hair designer (or at the very least new to me; only discovered them a couple months ago and have been stocking up and not sharing :P).  Dura has a large variety of hair. My only problem with them is that their female hair doesn't quite fit me. But the male hair there...I ROCK IT LIKE A HURRICANE!!  I love the variety of what they're doing, and the price for a fat pack can't be beat.  Why the fat pack you say? Because with Dura, that's where your value will be.  Each hair is sold in an individual color for L$120. But if you buy a fatpack, which usually contains about 6 colors, you only pay $L300-L$360.  You do the math kids...though so :P

In tping around, I stumbled across this gorgeous little location to boot and tried out my Vextra pose hud (pre-loaded because I was being lazy and haven't filled my custom one yet).in the process!  Epic wins this morning!  Have a great day shopgasmers! MWAH!

A Beautiful Death...

I was reading this wikipedia article on the colors of China and their significance and found it kind of funny/fitting considering that the outfits I chose for my incredibly late week 2 submission of the 52 weeks of color challenge were three colors from the Chinese culture: blue, silver (white) and gold.

One of my favorite outfits,  the Killer Kunoichi by Femme Fetale takes the classic cheongsam and brightens it using a brilliant azure blue color with silver accents.  I found it fitting and sort of ironic that for blue to mean funeral/death, the color of this incredibly sleek and sexy outfit is known as a killer. While I do have a minor problem with how the prim skirt bends on my av, the issue is so small that only I would truly notice it.  My favorite part of the outfit? The sai of course ;)

So as I was putting this look together, it dawned on me I had another Asian themed outfit in blue.  After rummaging through my inventory, putting it on and finally adjusting the prim, I happily danced around my new studio eager to shoot it.  The Dragon Arts ensemble from B@re Rose comes in several colors one of which is this amazing blue with gold accents throughout the outfit.  Gold, per the article, means good luck and balance and is one of China's more beautiful colors.

The detail on this costume is amazing. The very intricate pattern of the gold draped over the blue(as seen up close on the wing in the photo above) made for a fascinating look that while it probably can't be worn every day, makes for an awesome outfit to wear for contests, a themed party, role playing or maybe even wearing around the house. To top off my look, I found these pretty spiffy katanas on the marketplace and as I slipped them into my little hands, it all simply came together and screamed 'it's time to snap, Kilo."  So...I did :-)

Golden Blue aka Beautiful Death?  Indeed it is...indeed.
