[rockin' the coffin]

Leather, studs, bones and feathers - your blogging cold one is indeed in a rocking mood today... even though he's crawled out of his coffin only 30 minutes ago. But then again, I couldn't figure a better start into the day than rock and vertebrae, so here's the look!

[rockin' the coffin]

Leather first! Those smexy, tightly fitted pants are from Miamai, and I particularly adore the flared legs and the well-made side lacing - just the right things to make it a beloved piece of your wardrobe and give it a sturdy feel and look. Perfect footwear matches were the 'New Rock'-boots from Little Britain Designs, sculpted goodness in the shape of the RL-brand I own as well, with shiny textures and a look that screamed "BUY ME!" when I spotted them in store. And of course I did!

The 'Vampire Coat' from Amerie has been around for a little longer, but it's still one of my favourite pieces. The combination of elegant pinstripe fabric and chains is simply gorgeous, and I love the decadent looking sleeves and collar made from black and peacock feathers. The coat's prim-parts are resize scripted, and you can also choose to wear the collar without the small chains and cross dangling from it - just in case you don't get along well with crosses.

I guess the body is actually my fav in this post: not only because of the stunning eyes from Poetic Colors, which are brand new and still on a 50% off sale through Sunday, June 12th, but also because of the rather extraordinary hair from Miamai that immediately tickled my fancy. It looks a bit like a high, teased ponytail, with vertebrae of silver crowning it, and the hairpiece blends in perfectly with the hairbase - to be honest, I haven't seen such a fluent transition between sculpts and textures before.

After wearing [Buried]-skins for a long while when wanting to go for a more juvenile look (and never being quite satisfied with the nose texture on my shape), I think I now gained a new obsession after my friend Monica showed me the lickable skins from [.:Mascarade:.]. I love the androgynous, youthful appearance and soft definition of the body, and the unusual look of the eyebrows is also a really big plus. Besides, you can snatch up each for 300L$ for the less recent and 500L$ for the newer skins, a real deal!

Miss Nuenza

Miss Nuenza was one of the best known illusionists. She let houses disappear and stones dance. Nobody knew much about her past. Her fame was based on the old rabbit trick. She was able to get so many out of her hat that even her colleagues had no idea how she did it. When she started her career her audience consisted out of many other illusionists - most of them more famous than she at that time - who tried to find out how her tricks worked. She got invitations from many of those men who tried to seduce her and to win her heart so that she would tell them how the illusions worked. None of those attempts was ever successful. Miss Nuenza was kind, sometimes she stayed of night but the men forgot what had happened in the time they had been alone with her. She was smart enough to let them believe that she had spend a time full of pleasures with them and their egos were big enough to believe her. The truth was Miss Nuenza wasn't an illusionist at all. She was a changeling. Her elven parents had exchanged her for a human child. She had not been aware of this for a long time but when she finally found it out she visited the elven lands, filled with romantic thoughts and ideas but returned soon disappointed and decided to use her natural talents. The trick was to let the tricks look like they would be an illusion. And to know where she put the houses she let disappear. The last time she had lost one had been annoying for her. But much more annoying for the inhabitants of the house which she had also let disappear.
Questioning the bunny
The black butler hunt which is going on at the moment has a lot really well made and cute gifts. For example this suit with the long coats from Bubblez Design. It is made for guys but fits of course girls too. The prim parts have all a resize script which could be deleted. The chain which connects the both sides of the jacket is a nice detail. The hat has a black veil at the side and a bow wrapped around it. It is made for girls in my opinion. The lolli is also a huntgift. There are several mouthies included which could be worn too. For example tarrot cards or chocolate bars.

Suit: BB - Sebastian Outfit for Black Butler Hunt #7 (0 L$)
Hat: [ ANCAYI ] Black Butler Hat (0 L$)
Lolli: Bitter Rabbit - 05 (-Atypical-) Black Butler fun pack (0 L$)

In Which Sian's Soul Enters a Hall of Mirrors

For someone who takes so much concern for her appearance Sian only owns about three pairs of eyes she actually wears, and two of those she made herself.

So when Photos Nikolaidis of A:S:S (blog here, inworld shop here) made an offer on Plurk of a free pack of eyeballs to, um, eyeball, Sian got right in there and nabbed some before any of the other EE peeps could get a word in.

All of them come with optional prim attachments, and Sian loves them all. She particularly likes the tattoo layers and glistening teardrop attachments that come with the Tears in Your Eyes set that make it look like you're actually very sad, and the glowy prims on the Soultrap eyes are eerie and beautiful, and eerie and beautiful is a big plus for our Sian.

Sian loves these, and is actually intending to wear several of them, review copies or no (at the time of writing, she's wearing the Soultrap Eyes, in fact). Given that they're yours for the bargain sum of L$50 apiece (Sian is told there's also a "gatcha", offering different sets at L$10 too) she can't recommend them highly enough.

Birthday Princess

At Saturday was my rl birthday so I wanted to be dressed elegantly in second life too. And I wanted to feel of course like a princess in both lives. So when seeing that Icing takes part in the disco deals at the moment I went there and got me this elegant black dress. It comes with a sculpted and a flexi skirt. As at all dresses from icing the shading is great. On the shoulders it has cute bows. The dress is also available in other colours but I liked it best n black. I added some of the happieness shared jewlery from frippery. Those consists out of many flowers and let the dress look a bit less strict.
princess like in black
Before going to get the dress from Icing I opened the birthday gift from a dear friend. The lingerie he has choosen is gorgeous. The set comes with the top and the bottom on the undies, undershirt and pants and shirt layer. It is lovely how many details the texture has. The cut with the seams let it look elegant, feminin and sexy and everything but cheap. Included into the set are several pairs of stockings. All of them have the classical look with seams at the backside.

Blue Blood sometimes means black and white

Sira hated it when she was asked to spend time in the sun. Not that she did not like the sun but she had spend years on becoming pale and now she was asked to watch a childrens party in the outside. Luckily she had managed to find a dress with long sleeves and also fitting socks so that she would not get that tan. But she was still worried about her face.
blue blood sometimes means black and white
Blue Blood sells adorable goth style dresses. This one is one of their latest releases. It is called Ivana and could be worn on the many ways which are typical for blue blood. The Top could be worn without the black shirt under it. The skirt is also included in a version wich is open at the front and of course it works as lingerie when wearing it without the skirt. Of course it is also available in other colours. The pale lea skin from L.Fauna goes very well with the dress. When adding the included pinup makeup it fits even better. The Yumi hair from wasabi pills has the option to tint the bow black with white dots. This fits very well to rockabilly outfits (Im not sure if the hair worn like this ould fit to rockabilly) and also to goth or alternative outfits. I really like this hair and it is great to see that it could be used for a nice all day look as well as to create a gothgirl outfit.

Love for beavers

Ellen was a typical indie girl. Her body was mainly covered by colourful tattoos. Not even her parents remembered her natural hair colour. But she started having a love for beavers which irritated most of her friends. She adored beavers and had even started a label to sell beaver inspired fashion. The success was surprising but she did not mind it at all.
friend of the beavers
Arnadi takes part in the zombie popcorn hunt. They made a tattoo as gift. It comes on all layers. For the hands they put the tattoo on the glove layer. It is unisex and looks pretty good. The necklace comes from Virtual/Insanity. The nails are from the same designer. Virtual/Insanity is always great to visit because they have so many stylish accessories which give the little extra which makes an outfit unique. The nails are available in two versions and come in three hand sizes. They are menu driven and so it is possible to choose between eight textures. The skin and shape come from L.Fauna. For this picture they are combined with a makeup which is included in the skinpacks. It changes the look a lot with the dark eyeshadow. The beaver shirt is a cheapie from 22769. There is also a version for those who love ferrets available. And the hair comes of course from Wasabi Pills.
