Hello, my lovelies. I’ve been away longer than I expected. What have I been doing? Well, let’s see…. First, I tried to get a handle on my bloated inventory using a Simple Closet device I bought for only L$199; then I became a premium member and changed Linden homes a couple of times; then I spent some time decorating said Linden home; and I did a bunch of hunts – mostly cherry-picking my must-have items. Oh, I also tried *unsuccessfully* to shop at the Whore Couture (sorry, but I hate that name), and the Arcade events – yes, that’s right, I *still* have not successfully tp’d into either event. Hey, people! Could you give some other avis a chance, please?? I’ve actually been on a mini vacation break and have tried at every conceivable hour, and still …nada.
But, I *was* able to get into the We Love Role-Play event today (not yesterday, but at least today)! And I have some awesome things to show you guys.
Where to start?? Well, I shall start at the beginning, of course. DoC Eldritch of DE Designs sent me the awesome Carmina outfit in black, which consists of the richly textured mesh corset, pants, and fingerless gloves. It’s been awhile since I blogged DE Designs, but DoC is still designing on a consistent basis. I first found DE back in 2008 when I was a plain little noobie who had not yet discovered the joy of new skins, when Calla hair was all the rage, and when sculpties, let alone mesh, didn’t even exist yet. I walked into DE Designs and couldn’t breathe – so much awesomeness! Gorgeous textures – even a little noob could see the superior quality of his work compared to the majority of stuff that was on the grid back then. As soon as I put Carmina on, I knew I wanted to do an dark elven huntress thing. So, I had some shopping to do! In addition to DE’s Carmina outfit, I’m also wearing the best elf ears I have found. They’re mesh and from [Mandala]; they come with a HUD to change the skin tone as well as the piercings. Love them! I also needed a nice bow set. I decided to go all out and get a bow that actually worked for role-play. After comparison shopping at several weapons shops, I decided on this beautiful one from Pucca Firecaster’s Creations (PFC), which came with the leg strap quiver. I admit, it’s the quiver that really sold me, as well as the shape of the actual bow. I haven’t had a chance to try it out yet, but it came with all the bells and whistles that combat bows usually come with.
Back to We Love Role-Play – I picked up the headband from =Kio= there – this is the Crow version, but it comes in many other shades/color combinations, as well. I also picked up the Benediction cross piercing from .:ellabella:. at the Role-Play event. It also comes with a color-change HUD with lots of options. My black Nanda hair is from Mina, exclusive to We Heart Role-Play, and I knew it was perfect for this outfit as soon as I saw it! As I was taking pics, I was playing with the Windlight settings, and I could not believe how beautifully textured it is and how the light changes the colors in the hair. Gorgeous! Finally, my beautiful, perfect for role-play skin is from Lumae (formerly Heartsick) – the Una skin in the cream tone with awesome tribal tattoos on the face. Oh, you can’t see that very well in the photo, can you? Here you go!
In case you can’t tell, the tribal makeup consists of the dots on my forehead and the swirls and dots under my eyes. The cross on the bridge of my nose is the .:ellabella:. piercing. The Una skin is available for a special price at We Love Role-Play in your choice of three tones – cream, honey, or cookie. Demos are free, of course. I almost forgot to mention my wonderful Kollo mesh cloak that I picked up on sale at FATEplay. By the way, the sale there ends March 10, so you still have a few days; if you know a fellow that needs some really well-made mesh clothes – send him to FATE. I actually couldn’t resist a gorgeous suit I found there; I spent several days happily cross-dressing. FATE does have a few women’s pieces, and some that are unisex (like my cloak). One more closeup so you can see my lovely skin, hair, headband, and piercings….
To wrap up this looooong post, I’m also wearing boots from Lapointe and Bastchild (not new, but perfect), and nails with rings, etc. from WTG (also, not new, but perfect – and not for SLink hands). Hope you enjoyed my ramblings….
Happy hunting, gathering, shopping, etc. *mwah*!
