Kimono (2nd try)

This is a more serious approach to Japanese (traditional) fashion. I haven’t done much, since CTK (Cherry Tokyo’s Kimonos) provides you with anything you need. Hmm….just checked, couldn’t see any skins though….Lucky me had the lovely Geisha-skin already in her inventory yay!

I’d say CTK offers the best Kimonos around and has an amazing selection of accessories (shoes, hair, jewellery, umbrellas, fans, blahblahblah).

Sorry for the rubbish picture… (_ _);

Primitive Design!

Yet again, I have to say….I read about those pants on some fashion blog back then. When I’m more up to date with my posts, I hopefully will be able (brains and blah) to state where I saw something…

As it is sometimes, I actually just wanted to get the pants…but went out the shop with the T-shirt, shoes and fighting equipment. I’m not at all into guns and fights in SL, but from that shopping spree on I’ve been loving the tough-don’t-mess-with-me-or-else-look.

Primitive Design has amazing shoes, clothes, jewellery, even hair and eyes…so conveniently you could get all you need just in one shop (no shapes nor skins though…*thinks*). Not that this is so unusual, but the quality is amazing and the prim details are just fab (maybe it has to do with the name as well….wow, brainy me again!).

top: rising t-shirt from Primitive Design (comes as jacket-layer only)

pants: Fightclub Punk Pants from Primitive Design

socks: Mismatched old socks (stripes grey/red) from Canimal

shoes: Ghetto KiddZ from Primitive Design (come in two sizes, just in case you’re a gender-shifter )

Isn’t that great?! You think you buy a simple Lantern with a boring light in it, but no! Trance is guaranteed! I know my English is rubbish, so I’ll buy the lantern and half of the poses in this store as well. I’m not making fun of this, I find it quite cute. It’s a cool store! Cool furniture, cool poses, cool stands/sits for your AO…and (!) cool trance!

Too black!

Too black!

Just to let my two readers know about my daily fight with/against the Windlight Viewer. Right now no viewer really works for me 100%. The camera movement restraints, which I’m experiencing on RC and normal viewer since I first decided to update my graphics-card driver, have arrived in WL.
In this black case a simple rebake did the job.
Another thing…why is the viewer using so much less memory compared to be “before”? It’s as if it doesn’t believe in my 2GB Ram anymore…silly thing…*kick*

Disco Dancing

I was looking for something very glamorous, 70s, disco-ish…

This is what came out. Yeah, I like the warmth of the sun on my back.

The top and pants come in a set. The Belt is drawn on the top, so not removable. The set also came with a necklace, but as a clothes layer, which doesn’t usually can beat prim jewellery.

Back to the start…

Those who read my very first posting here, might remember the picture I posted back then (wow! 12th Dec….such a long time! ).

It was the beginning of November and what would be more appropriate than a beach outfit with warming cardigan? The person in the background should really get a slap with the leek!

Beautifully arranged furniture store

…NOT My neighbours (from which I actually bought my parcel of land) seem to be unable to sell the other half. A few days ago some weird looking (sorry for that) avatars showed heavy interest and reserved the land. I guess my neighbour’s got frustrated and is now selling his/her/their (old) stuff on the land as well. I really hope this is over soon. The “FOR SALE” thing alone wasn’t a brilliant addition to the landscaping either… but look! I have water reflexions and haven’t crashed! (yet)

OK, I was too stupid to get this cross posted here as well, but next time it should work…I hope…*tries to check for undies using the shiny surface of the water*

Thanks to this!

Last of October

I had the dress for quite some time…Halloween was a good opportunity to give it a little revitalisation.

Baked sweet potato? Anyone?

Wow! What a title and then this?

I was looking for ages for a “proper” African-SL-shape. Never found one…played around with my shape and this came out. I “developed” (yeah, right!) a skinny and a “normal” one (on which some shoes look very, very weird….you’ll read about that later *sighs*). Again loads of inventory discoveries were used.

I have to add that the Minnu Model Skins have the best skins for my intentions. I was amazed that I was NOT hit in the face with cool locations in the search…lots of skins have a funny (bad way!) blue/green/grey-ish touch to it. If anyone out there knows alternatives: To me! Now! Thanks

My first Minnu Model Skin!

A bit palish, hun?

It seems like I’m buying those kind of clothes in some weird moods, because I have (again) no clue, how that happened. I remember, that I’d seen the hair before and was happy to finally buy it….*har-har*

skin: female white – noctem tears from Nomine

Rich Bitch…

…was an accidental purchase during the panic of a sale at Boing Fromage. I really hate those vendor-thingies! Pleeeeease, don’t use them! *sighs* Don’t use them while the shop’s busy, someone else might actually click on “your” vendor in the moment of “pay”! *sighs again*

But it could have been worse…

Who gets my oh, so cool title…please comment or contact me! *hrhr*

Just another casual outfit I put together. Actually just the jacket and the shoes were new.

Look at those shoes! You’ll never know who’ll you pump bump into while exercising in the air. Looks like the sun shines where…..*coughs*

The jacket is from Boing Fromage, is colourable in all its parts and on this picture consists of four parts: jacket-layer (for warm kidneys ), base, gloves and prim-colar.

Popping down my local Gion

The Gion Project seems to enjoy a bit of blog attention lately, so I’ve decided to take another look around. Standing around like an idiot (stupid RL-Avatar thought it’s OK to walk away and leave me to it), I was greeted by Sammy Biddle.

She is the owner and producer of the Gion Project and is very keen on “foreigners” (non-Japanese) getting to know Gion better. She noticed the link to my blog in my profile and asked me to write about it (I told her, no-one reads my blog, but she didn’t care *har-har*). I thought to myself: “Well, I like to hang around here, why not write something about it?” Since I’m an absolute rubbish writer, I hope the pictures tell you more.

I hope, it’s not going to rain…..

The evening sun’s helping to lighten up this almost hidden path up the mountain. Yeah, dozens of red Toris (those red gates) are hardly visible to my eyes…*coughs*

Look! There’s a key! (wondering what that’s about? Check the website of the Gion Project)

Damn! What are all those people doing in the lovely Onsen? I have to scare them off with my dancing skills…*dmao*

Ah, all gone! Can’t see much with all that steam and glowing balls (??). And my arse will be soon one item with the rock….

That’s better! Aren’t we lucky that prims are water- and stainproof?

Feeling warm and relaxed again, I’m wandering around the sim, seeing various places to relax and to stare at mother nature or sim-borders. Since my WL-Viewer doesn’t like my ATI-card too much, I thought my precious me is a better view for this shot. (Oh, I’m such a modest avatar!)

Let’s indulge in Japanese ancient music!

Oh, what the hell…drinking free sake is way more fun and still culture *hicks*

I WANT *hicks* MORE SAAAA~~~*hicks*~~~AAAAKE!!!!!

Freebies!

SLurl

Don’t know why that happened….

…it wasn’t made for Halloween, but it came in handy on the 31st of October.

tights: Torn socks over stockings – black from Canimal

shoes: Lady Victoria boot – black from Shiny Things
