[leaving in style]

When your time to ride the Bus to Nowhere has come...

Bus to Nowhere

...be sure to do it in style.

22769 Long Black Coat

This outfit's centerpiece is the delicious long leathercoat from 22769, of course in my favourite colour - black! I'm really a big fan of coats, and this surely has the potential to become one of my permanent favs. It has prim-cuffs and a sculpted (not flexi!) chest-/bottom piece that is resize scripted, so the fitting was an easy thing to do and took merely seconds.

Shimmering, black leather builds the hull of this garment, so you're pretty safe even in the worst autumnal rain or wintry snowfall, and the warm inner lining will keep you from freezing for sure, building an interesting contrast of light sheep's wool against the leather's darkness.

Picking up this colour theme, I decided on a pair of black and white striped pants with sculpted cuffs, also from 22769, and a plain shirt from Schadenfreude. Said button-down shirt is a perfect piece for both casual- and formal outfits and is available in a gazillion colours, with different attachment-points for the collar, in all possible clothing layers and even the possibility to choose if you want to wear its tails in a tidy, tucked fashion or in a messy way.

Orquidea revisited

Orquidea is a store for great outfits for women. Well textured, creative and unique. So it was time to have again a look at that store. What i like most at Orquidea is that they manage to make great dresses without using many prims. So its not needed to spend ages on a posestand to make an outfit fit.

During the fifa world cup Qrquidea took part in the go4goal hunt. They had a uniform like outfit with an african pattern in it. That outfit is also available in other colours in the store. For example in purple. It comes with a hat which is called schiffchen in german.Outfit: ORQUIDEA Major Doll Purple (265 Linden)

The store also took part in the song lyrics hunt. Now the corset which was the hunt gift got turned into a complete outfit with fitting trousers and bangles for the arms. It is also available in a brown golden steampunk version.
Outfit: ORQUIDEA EARTHBOUND (270 Linden)

My favourite dress from Orquidea is this black one. It comes with a top which looks like being made of lace with something white under it and a skirt which is made of a shiny material. Both parts are joined with a belt like bow. The skirt has a petticoat in blue/silver.
Dress: Orquidea RL collection dress Style1 (200 Linden the dress is also available in RL)

Im not a big fan of pink but this pink dress is great. It has only one halter and looks sexy and elegant at the same time in my opinion. It comes with a little flower for the hair. Im always surprised when seeing that its a dress being made with a system skirt which looks good on small avatars. A designer who manages to use the systemskirt layer without ruining the whole outfit must be really talented in my opinion.
Dress: Orquidea - Moonlight Kiss in Cherry (250 Linden)

Vampire Huntress

In the morning the mighty huntress of all bloodless spends time with sports. First she searches for something to balance on to do some yoga. To be able to deal with cold feet she soon gets rid of her flip flops and bances bare foot on the cold steel while stretching her legs.
But even a huntress needs some more clothes when going hunting so she puts on boots and trousers and trains while wearing them.
She fights against invisible enemies. Testing if she could hold the balance while wearing a coat. It simply looks better while fighting.
Then she moves to her hands and knees and trains what do to when a bloodless one had managed to get her onto the floor. But she allready recognizes that she is getting hungry so she jumps off the building and searches the next bakery to get a croissant.
The Nightwalker outfit is the latest release from Ezura. With that name it reminds of course on vampire films. The set comes on all layers and with three kind of trousers and two kinds of tops. You should either wear it with hotpants or long trousers (low rise and normal ones). The top comes in a short and in a long version. They both have pretty patterns on it. The short top has a very nice cut as the texture in the middle is cut out.
I love knives so im very glad about the knive for the shoulder and the leg which are included into the outfit.
The groupmembers of Ezura get the outfit for a lower price. It is also for sale on xstreet for 300 Linden. Of course even vampire hunters do not always wear black so its also available in white and red.
The laces for the ankles are from the ribbon lucky board.

Petit Pas

In the Petit Pas Mall are many many lucky boards so i went there to have a look on them and managed to win two dresses (you have to join their group for being able to win).
The flower dress comes from Lo*momo. It has a neckbow. The colours are kind of autumn like and if i would have had an old fashioned grandmother her sofa would have been made of a similar cloth. Dress: "Lo*momo" Autumn bloomer(for LB)

The second dress i won was also kind of a old style dress, although it has no halters which is not very old fashioned. THe dress has many frills and is striped with kind of a belt in the middle.
Dress: KC No.46[LeneDress](Cherry) (0 Linden Lucky board)

more lace

Standing in a tunnel dressed by black lace and a nice skirt.The black dress is the last release from Outrage! a shop which is located on the fierce island. It has great textures. Its possible to wear more layers of the top to get a less sheer look but i liked it best with just one layer (the top looks still good when wearing all layers not like a plain black top). The belt of the skirt is included in the system layers.
Dress: OuTRage! - Date Night- (125 Linden)
Gloves: blogged here

Red and Lace

When seeing the red dress with the black lace from Halcali i wasn`t able to resist. It is short, red and has a great cut.The backside is also very lovely. The lace goes over the the back. The skirt of the dress is rather short but has a decent length. The texture of the lace is also pretty amazing. The black gloves are a dollarbie from the same store and made to fit to the dress.
At Halcali are also more dollarbies available. For example that pink dress. It has a neckholder. The black dress is on the lucky board. For being able to win you need to join the kdc mall group. It has some light flower textures.

Rocking for Unicef

When finding some instruments she got in mind that she always wanted to be a rockstar. So as there was no stage nearby she went to a dock.And started to rock her guitar as good as she could.
Her posing was allready ready for stage and she was quite sure the fish in the water liked her music.
Then she decided to sing. First she felt insecure. And sang very silent.
But then she decided to start to rock. So she started singing "my heart will go on" as loud as she could.
Suddenly the water under her became rather tumultuous. It seemed like the fishes tried to destroy the dock. But as it was build of good wood they had no chance and she also thought that the fish liked her singing that much. Suddenly a huge fish even jumped out of the water right into her arms. Seems like it prefered commiting suicide instead of having to listen to her any longer.
The poses with guitar or microphone are from No Strings Attached. That store takes part in the Project Donate. The instruments are very well build and of course the poses are great. The guitar comes with five poses the microphone with a bit more. Its amazing to see how the items from No Strings Attached become better and better. The instruments contain now a menu where you could choose your pose.

The outfit is a mix. The jeans are from 22769 and the top with the star is also from that store. I won the jacket on the ribbon lucky board. The red boots are of course from Perse. When visiting kowloon i saw a camping chair which needed only two minutes. I didn t understand anything from the words over it and after two minutes of sitting around i won a fish. Its now seeable on the last picture.
