Rouge ruches & goodness knows what


Snapshot_002

XYROOM is closing on 25th January to set up for the new collection in February so be quick if you want to grab some awesome items at bargain prices. I particularly like this skin by Style by Kira it has a slightly bronzy tone which compliments the red lips and dress perfectly . This glamorous ruffle dress is also at XYROOM for 75L YES 75L!

If you don't already own these shoes which are a group gift at Gabriel, then I ask why not? The hair accessory is goodness knows what from goodness knows where?! I just found it in my inventory and decided to stick on my head just because I thought I should at least give it a little life before I gave it the chop! It does make me wonder what other anonymous, long forgotten things are lurking in the deep depths of my inventory *goes off to investigate*

[tragic ecstatic agony]

[tragic ecstatic agony]

The androgynous supermodel Andrej Pejic is an inspiration for designers not only in real, but also in Second Life, as the numerous releases carrying his first name proof. ~Tableau Vivant~'s latest faces are Andrej and Noctis, for example, with the shown version of Noctis being the current group gift you can snatch up in store, and Exile has just recently released this very Andrej-esque hairstyle that goes pretty well with a variety of skins and outfits. To not distract too much from the stunning skin, I've chosen a rather simple outfit - a long, white tank from Zoobong, the studded belt from *BLITZED* (best belt shape ever, imho) and [Cynful]'s droolalicious low-cut Eve britches. Yes, I admit, I love to show 'crack' from time to time! :)


Skin: ~Tableau Vivant~ - Noctis Group Gift (in store)
Hair: ::Exile:: - Andrej
Eyes: negaposi - Creature Eyes - Revenant - Burnish

Tank: !ZB: - Long Tank
Belt: *BLITZED* - Legacy Belt
Pants: [Cynful] - Eve Britches

Lovestory

There were more than 100 pages left to read in the book but Oscar allready felt the panic rise in his spine. The story was not bad of course he had read better ones in his long life but there had been worse. This one fed his hunger without leaving a bad taste and that was more than he darted to hope for. Oscar's fangs were the only hint on his true nature or what was left of it. For a short time he had been human but got biten and transformed into a vampire. Everything would have been so easy if he would not have digged his teeth into a muse. It wasn't just any muse, it was Erato. The muse of love poetry. It was that one bite which changed everything. Her ink filled blood tinted his skin and from that moment streams of black in ran out of his eyes and mouth. After having dealt with the shock about the change of his appearance he was confronted with an other surprise. He did not feel any hunger for blood anymore, instead he had the urgent need to read. It took sometime until he figured out what exactly he wanted to read: Lovestories. Of course he tried if also other books would satisfy his hunger but there was no other way. If love wasn't the maintheme of a story it did not feed him. Oscar became obsessed about librarys and spend his time in them searching for books to satisfy his need. But he was glad that it wasn't Clio he had bitten. History could end while love is eternal. As bad as his food sometimes was he would always get enough of it.

The black stripes are currently sold by Pin Me Down at the Zombiepopcorn Brand. They have three face options and could be used by males as well as by females. The skin is the currentgroupgift from Tableau Vivant. This one has a darker skintone, the face is very elegant and there are dark patterns on the skin which look like the veins would be filled by a black liquid instead of blood. Its definitly a skin which does not only work well for a daily look it also can be used as an roleplay item. The top and the trousers come both from 22769. The Leopard lace jumper is currently sold at Mens.Select. It comes on all three top layers and the prim parts are mod. With the wide sleeves and the lace collar the jumper looks comfy, elegant and playful at the same time. The trousers belong to the gift from 22769 in the for the love of hunt which is currently going on. For the pictures I did not use the wide leather cuffs which belong to the trousers. Not only the outfit comes from 22769. The skyloft in which the pictures have been taken is currently on sale at their building and furniture store. It has a size of 35 x 40 metres and 43 prims. There are roomdividers included which ad up to 18 prims more.
The nicole mesh hair from Wasabi Pills does not only look good on women. It looks like it would fall very soft so it is also great to create a romantic looking male avatar. The hairbands are tintable with the help of a hud and there are of course demos available in the store.
The chair comes from Libertine. All the poses which have been used in their furniture have been really well choosen which allows male avatars even to look male when reading a book.

A fairy tale picture

I love this gown which is a new release at Vero Modero it has an almost mystical quality to it and that is why I chose to make this picture.
