Color Me Turquoise

The turquoise theme of Color Me Project is going on and this dress from Sofie's Selection, I am hooked on. I am going to be cautious here because I was recently told by a designer that I should not be offering opinions or viewpoints that are my own or relevant to only me, that I should remain neutral and/or positive in all the things I blog. I think this kind of defeats what a blog is, but please be assured anything I do blog it's because I LIKE it and I LIKE this dress a lot. it's sexy with it's cut out sides and slit at the leg, low cut and the hood makes me feel a little mysterious. The low cut allows for adding a statement necklace and it's wide enough in the hood that earrings can be worn as well, that's a win/win! The hud that comes with the dress gives you choices of patterns all keeping with the turquoise theme and the very cool shoes are from this round of Color Me Project and were created by Sky. The shoes have some great details and are  made for Slink Feet or TMP feet. I really hope more designers will start creating for my Maitreya feet as well so I don't have to keep switching feet back and forth, the shoes however were worth the trouble. A quick note on the eye makeup, 90% of the time when I add a eye makeup layer to my outfits it is from Elymode, the reason why is because I love the options the choice of colors and style, and that she creates not only the over the top stuff but basic cat liner is colors that don't overwhelm and just accent, I get to keep looking like me with the addition of some color, YAY! Thank you Ely! All the rest of the outfit is listed below.

A Little Nip Slip

I have been very much in love with my Maitreya mesh body but dressing a mesh body does present challenges when the alpha hud doesn't quite work with a slit or a neckline. Lingerie though seems to have lots of choices as designers are coming up with appliers to work with all the mesh body choices and many are lovely but when Ely dropped this bra and panty set on me I was over the moon with how sexy this set is and to top it off it come with appliers for my Maitreya body and Belleza, Slink, TMP, and and Omega hud along with the system layer! The panties are sexy and cut so they show some nice cheekage from the back and well some nip slip makes for the possibility of a little sexy playtime. Hat's off to Elymode for making second life a little sexier!

Time to Take a Rid

There is a smart and extremely talented lady in SL named Elysium Eilde who is the creator of Elymode. I have known her almost as long as I have been in SL. I have always admired and appreciated her talent and generosity, her skills are many as well as her attributes. You are probably wondering what does that have to do with this post, but well it has everything to do with it because that well made riding crop and the cool poses you see in these photos, both made by her and both extremely well made. That’s what happens you when ooze skill and vision. You make good stuff.  I had a lot of fun shooting these photos; my normal personality is not large and in charge but dressing up and playing the part for photos is something that is definitely right up my alley. When this riding crop arrived in my inventory I knew immediately exactly what to wear, and where I wanted to shoot it. The crop itself is made so very well. All the way down to the details and textures. You can see a close up view of just the crop here and it’s a nice piece of equipment all on its own but that wasn’t enough for Ely, nope, she went and made some great poses to go with it, 7 in all, so photographers can cheer a prop and poses that work perfectly with it! There is a crop for each hand so you don’t have to edit it back and forth, and mirror poses included (with a little editing of the crop placement I was able to use the mirror pose and get the behind my back look).  Thank you Ely for the welcome addition to my inventory! There are just some things a girl wants to ride hard and a crop can come in handy ;-)

The outfit, all latex and very sexy makes it appear I know what to do with that riding crop. Lots of details from the studs and seams on the Sassy halter, to the lace up back on  {{ICLy}}  skirt,  show off the attention to detail and quality. The boots and gloves by Donima’s Duo are so well made I want to find more things to wear them with and come with an amazing hud so I can create ALL the colors I want! I am wearing my Maitreya Lara mesh body which I am really enjoying, I will create another post and fill you in on all the reasons I like it so much soon but for now suffice it to say yes you can wear a lot of things with the mesh body if you are willing to edit and buy quality mesh clothing. All the deets below!
