REEEEEEEKKKK

05Feb10

ahhaha this was a lot of fun.

I was left with 145L after the Aoharu sale (I went a bit overboard, but I think I’ll definitely use all the items I bought.) so I couldn’t buy the Reek Laundry Day hoodies when they first came out, but I finally got paid, so the first thing I did (after much deliberation about which color to get!) was zoom over to Reek! to get one! YAY I feel so happy now. The hoodie hud turned out to be even cooler than I imagined, too, Riq posted teasers/descriptions on his plurk timeline. Okay then after I got one I thought it would be nice to have one that was white so that the bright colors in the hud would match better with the base white jacket, so I… went and bought another one haha. painful but so worth it!

It was a lot of smiles putting these looks together – everyone, go dig up some of your older Reek items! I feel like we all bought things like the Reeker Keeper at 50L Friday and only used it once. The pencil behind the ear is too cute, too.

I really like that Riq makes fun stuff and clothes stuff, I think I’m gaga over the Autumn boots. and major love for my new hoodies!

Reek’s attention to detail is so amazing. tp over and choose a hoodie! <3

look #1
Laundry Day Hoodie,
Reeker Keeper file (with a million different poses, textures and animations),

Dismorph is releasing a pack of male poses tomorrow! “Organized Chaos” comprises 10 poses – perfect, casual poses for lookbooks. just 280L for the pack, 35L per pose. Jokwon and Xing will be borrowing these so, so much. The poses aren’t too energetic and show off outfits perfectly – definitely your money’s worth in each pose. I noticed that at least half of the poses are suitable for bag-holding if you so choose – but are equally practical without the bag. really feeling these poses!

dismorph by plastic swords <333 (check back tomorrow to buy!)

really loving the coco oxfords (cunningly resized, looks plausible to me!) and the CAUTION belt. The belt's just 30L from Rock Candy! I got this tusk necklace from Redgrave that said "BLING INCLUDED" which made me awfully wary but at 100L I decided to risk it. It's quite detailed for 100L!

Armband: Yabusaka winter choice prize

ohai, really beautiful jacket from CheerNo. this is the most detailed and incredible blazer I own. I need to wear it again and take a better picture of the front. The metal buttons reflect light, the back flap and sleeve flaps have prim shadows attached to them, it was criminally easy to adjust, and I love the design. not seen anything like it in SL.

The Reek boots <3 I change the colors of the laces any time I feel like a change! still pretty much amazed by how realistic it is.

Gritty Kitty Winter Choice! prize – these horns, sheep ears and tail. omg adorable! I also have a gorgeousYabusaka armband which idk how to change the letters on it (at first it said DOG, now it says XOG, wattt but XOG still cooler than DOG) and the grasp leopard jeans. All of those are Winter Choice gifts! The scarf(with necklace) is a Find Ash group gift and the finger tape is 1L from Luck Inc.

The yellow braces are color change and from KARI, some awesome stuff there. Sev brought me to the store! <3 They were only 80L, a real steal, now I'm eyeing the electric wire cuff heh.

I took these pictures in suetabulous Yootz's new little shopping town called Pookie Promenade hee, her builds are AMAZING. It's a build in progress but I'm damn excited for her and privileged that she let me peek at her work. Can't wait to start shopping there woot!

the fur changes to four different furs, the laces are extremely color change and best of all, they’re only 250L! Red is currently out as the 50L friday item. and OMGGGG they do fit guys too! just stretch a bit, it worked for me.

This is the beautiful little mini seaside skybox in which I live, made by Annunziata Machi! It comes in a lyrics and without lyrics version. The lyrics on the walls are heartbreaking. just 50L from Molto Bene! check out her other beautiful skyboxes, they are really incredible, breezy places to live. I want to live in another one soon!

The winter evergreen tree is copiable and comes with snow and more-snow versions. It’s made by Maztor Giles and can be bought from the Vinyl Cafe here. SO BEAUTIFUL, they are permanent fixtures on my plot. Thanks Evangeline!

The turquoise christmas tree is from Beetlebones gacha, super cute heh. and my precious, treasured snow bunny is from ARIA.

On Xing-ge (literally translated: Brother Xing)

AVATAR

30Dec09

I think the AVATAR skin is incredibly strange and mysterious and beautiful…. I haven’t taken it off since I got it. It’s insanely detailed and I love the lightspots freckled all over the chest, hips and back. Try demos here.. the skin is fascinating. Skin post coming soon, once I’ve installed PS! The DerGANT.Avatar Special Edition pack includes the skin, eyes and tail- shape sold separately.

The best part of this look is the outfit by CheerNo – his designs are so distinct that even girls want them in their fashion lives, heh. I saw this outfit being styled by Angelllina Tedeschi in this post, FIERCE. I thought it looked dreamy with the AVATAR skin. This is my favorite of the Deuil line of outfits – CheerNo makes the only men’s outfits I’ve ever thought were sexy on men, and his unique clothing makes me kind of envy the men, for once. <3

poses: “Only For A While” and “Weighty Wait” by Penny Dreadful Arcade, available only for this weekend, and then it’s gone for ever. 150L ONLY. you need this in your life. set of two couple poses and mistletoe! Someone once plurked about how realistic/emotional PDA poses are, and after taking these pictures, I definitely agree. These are the cutest poses ever. They are so cute I left them in the house so I can pose again for no reason whenever I feel like it HAHAHA. Alan likes the uhm sexy monkey one more but I like the first one a lot.

I really like these pictures because they are the first photos I’ve taken that are unedited and taken inworld, and they’re taken in the most beautiful house ever that is made out of glass (sorry, I just kind of love this house by Botha Architects.) and this is the home that Alan and I kind of share, even though I have my own home too. (In case we quarrel lol) Anyway thanks Alan for being patient while I fussed over all this haha. and for not complaining when I accidentally leave digit darkes bags all over the living room hahaha.

on me:
hair: Tekuteku current group gift
dress: DeLa (I think I love DeLa.)
boots: Redgrave Moscow fur boots
tights: Bower Bird subscribo gift, tintable, no longer available, sadly.
mittens on Alan: Reek! duh. <3

Major fail at trying to hide photography problems with all my prims being tinted wrongly and forgetting to turn on anti-aliasing on a new version of Emerald = jagged edges. Sorry.

Hair: noju group gift
Headband: Cheap Makeup by Stella Semaphore, you can find another color free in the piece of trash just outside her store!!!
Gloves: Cheap Makeup
Bangles: Zaara
Corset: Divalicious
Pants: Madsy
Shoes: Unique Needs


I wore these outfits for weeks, these are all some of my favorite things.

Of note- Cheap Makeup’s bf denim shirt had a price adjustment, it’s now available for 165L! It used to be 200L, and I swear I went back to her store at least 5 times trying to decide which color to get. I couldn’t decide between the light and dark washes, and I knew I’d regret it if I got the dark wash (because I wanted the light wash, too! But 500L was a lot to me, for the fatpack at the time)

But now each color is available at 165L, so good time to get it. I LOVE acid washed stuff!

I’m wearing the Beetle Bones striped turtleneck again, it goes great with everything. good value when I’m broke! I loove these tights from Sn@tch. They are the perfect slashy tights. They are only sold as a set with the Showtime outfit(surl here), so I bought the set just for the tights. The outfit includes vests and is pretty cool too!

BEETLE BONES SNUGGIES boots in white, they need some capital letters. I have been scrounging around for winter – I’m not sure if winter’s my favorite season and I didn’t want to make impulse purchases. But the snuggies are super well textured and too cute. I wore them with the anuenue legwarmers (20L gacha for the gloves and legwarmers set) so they look like tall white boots! I didn’t take these off for weeks, I love these fluffy white boots. P.S. if you’re particularly adventurous, they’re mod so you can tint them a bit.

Free group gift hair from Noju that I can’t take off because I love it(but is it obvious that I haven’t bought hair for a really long time? $$$$), and the beautiful antique rose headdress that everyone has.

I bought the LeeZu scarf, and I received some AMAZING customer service. I don’t always have the $ to shop at LeeZu, but I love her designs and her prices are pretty good for the beautiful quality. I couldn’t locate the scarf, I left a message at the customer service counter and immediately two really kind models offered to help me find it. I found it and bought it. very happy! and there are demos!

I don’t care for SL models if you’re a snob and can’t even dress yourself, but I think LeeZu has shown that she has some gracious models and employees. Next, I kind of destroyed my scarf and forgot to make a copy (I didn’t know I could destroy it with the resizing script…. go me) and Vixie Rayna was kind enough to assist me. Wonderful customer service, great, original, unique items…. go shop at LeeZu. Except that I hope they make Courtisane shoes a bit cheaper! <3

Zaara stack of bangles.. I’m in love with them. They suit my personality and are just stunning. Worth every bit of the 377L I paid.

Poses in the first picture are from the S.LOVES Cheryl Posepack! I love these poses – they are universal, not too violent and for me, they work with all outfits. I take them out when I want to be sure that my outfit is displayed perfectly. The notecard mentions that Suri knows how hard it is for bloggers to find poses for certain outfits sometimes, very true!

The second outfit’s poses are from Long Awkward Pose – I think Dove Swanson makes a huge range of poses, and her poses are flawless. I don’t say this easily – I’ve tried poses from various posemakers and sometimes the joints have problems so they are only photographable from one angle. But I think that LAP poses truly are high quality and they deserve the glowing reputation they have.

Like I said.. pretty much in love with every single part of these outfits.

I also joined Free*Style, SO HAPPY and THRILLED to try and give back a little of all the incredible free things I’ve always seen shared on F*S. I’m just a noob yknow. aren’t we all? I’ve been reading F*S since forever, I’ve been a fan of Sileny and Suri’s posts ever since I started SL. I was really shy to say it on F*S, but I’m super grateful for people like Sileny, Creamy, Suri, Mijn, Eden <3 ILU TO BITS SILENY!!!!!!
