A Hot Box Full of Egoisme!

Ok. Hi!

I'm a teensy bit late getting this post out because I became addicted to listening to podcasts at night because I love being read to. Then I accidentally ran over my data plan in about two minutes flat and flipped out at 3 am because I didn't know what that would cost me for listening to an hour of this hilarious woman talking about scamming theatres and cruise lines on my iPhone.

So I took the time today to pay homage to Egoisme and the fabuloooous Ramses Meredith (also a shout out to Alon Alphaville whose endless search to hear me DJ is very touching) with this neat item I bought called the Hot Box from PNP Poses.  I thought it was appropriate. Also, you get to see me as a man, which is always fun, I think.

I was pretty excited when these first two ensembles came through the Egoisme blogging pipeline.  They are from the pret a porter line at Egoisme. This one is called "Man in Black" and features an open-collared black shirt with rolled sleeves, light enough for the upcoming spring and summer nights.  I am a huge fan of being unisexy and the tartan pants that came with the shirt I shall also be sporting as a lady as well.  If you want to sport your Egoisme love, it comes with a great belt with the store logo. I shall be sporting it in the next photo!  Oh and yes that is the new Byron skin and shape which you will also see later in the post.

This is the other newly released item in the pret a porter line, "Exotic Dream." I was just looking through my inventory for an outfit called "Erotic Dream." ::cough:: So anyhoo...this set is a see-through tank top (no imagination to see the nips needed here, ladies and gents!) and slick leather pants a slight caramel design.  These are so detailed that I didn't put that shine on there.  I don't even know how to do that mmkay?  Ramses made my job easier and put that shine on the pants.  It's fine. He's a genius. Whatever. gobuyit What? Okay on to the skins!

This is the Byron skin and shape.  It was easy for me to remember because I have an uncle named Byron but he doesn't look like this and he's Mormon. No offense to the Mormons. I'm just not Mormon. Anyway.
I'm going to list what samplings I took from the big giant fat pack Ramses sent to me because otherwise I wouldn't have time to do anything else. Ever.

This lovely sampling is: Evian Byron Pale Torso A Hair Happy Trails

Evian Byron Medium Torso A Hair Body Hair

Let me explain my concept here.  This is: Evian Byron Tan Torso B Hair with Beard A and Wolverine 
I realize it looks like Byron has been baking.  But what I have chosen to do is display some tattoo beard options that are tintable on the Tan skin so you can see better what I'm talking about.  The Wolverine option is something I was really excited to see, not just because I'm a Wolverine nerd but because I think facial hair options are fairly limited and not creative for the most part.  This is not the case here.  You could easily just throw on most of the beard options and still look awesome.  Trust me, I tried it.

Here is the same skin and tone but with the VividTone tattoo layer added.  This is a very cool feature because it allows you to buy a skin and then set the tone to what you want while keeping the details intact.

The Hot Box I used in the above photos is from PNP Poses.

This is also the same skin and in the same tone. It's a rare candid shot of a model after a shoot. Models are messy and they eat fast.  Actually, this is a lie. Models eat invisible food.  This is just a messy gravy tattoo I found in my inventory I have been dying to use in my blog forever. I don't even know who made it.

MWFW 1st Day Egoisme Shots

I have been eagerly awaiting the opening of Menswear Fashion Week put on by Siren Productions because, although I am a woman in RL and mostly SL, there are always some amazing shows, sets, designers and of course...men.  I always tend to take a look at men's fashion as well because many things can be what I call unisexy.  Even hair.  Some of my favorite hair pieces are made for men but I have found them to add a unique touch to many of my stylings. 

I was not able to attend the group show midday at MWFW but I was fighting to get a seat at the Egoisme show.  Ramses Meredith, creator at Egoisme, is one of my favorite designers.  I don't want to gush (I really do but it would just be boring) but I'm stood in the Egoisme store right now looking for some bird shirts I saw at the show. Due to lag and on the spot models, I was not able to grab names for the photos below. I was shooting from the audience and doing my fair share of eye-balling.  Okay, I'm going out for evening so I'll paste my shots!  Good job everyone! Be sure to visit Menswear Fashion Week! (Get there early for the events! The sim fills up fast!)

Does anyone know where this hair is from? ::grabby hands::

Egoisme: Exclusive Avatar Preview

Ramses Meredith of Egoisme was kind enough to pose for some photos of the exclusive avatar he is releasing on Friday.  These are fairly raw shots because I wanted to show you exactly what was going to be available without altering this Egoisme creation with a flub from photo editing. 

Following are some shots of the avatar for those of you who did not get to see it in person at one of the previews today (I heard some people were birthing Meeroos...)

Egoisme will be releasing the avatar with the following items:

*The Alex skin with 15 different and exclusive makeups plus the usual three tones and Vividtones; there is a no eyebrow option included
*The Alex shape (two weeks in the making!)
*Prim teeth

This release is in the androgynous genre: a person who is simply a female or male who has a high degree of both feminine (expressive) and masculine (instrumental) traits. A feminine individual is high on feminine (expressive) traits and low on masculine (instrumental) traits. A masculine individual is high on instrumental traits and low on expressive traits. An undifferentiated person is low on both feminine and masculine traits.


<sup>I call it the ultimate "unisexy." 

Oh. By the way.  This release will only be available for a limited time, starting Friday, so snatch it up while you can.  Here's some more eye candy for you:</sup>

 



^{And...one last look!  Let's see how you style it!  Thanks to Ramses Meredith for being patient and kind.}

Goose and Gander Friday & Egoisme Gift

It's the second week of Goose and Gander Fridays and there's some great stuff out!  I couldn't show off everything at once because I'm really hungry and I get to have delish chicken and biscuits (with sour cream in the biscuits!)  Make sure to make the rounds this Friday (some will still be available Saturday as well.)  I'm saving the riding boots from Loordes of London, the male gift for GGF, for my shoe fetish post later on!

 Egoisme put out this gorgeous skin gift for their VIP's.  It's not the group that costs 300L to join (although I recommend joining since they have such amazing items) but the regular group! Included with the Evian - Ivy Special Edition Egoisme Fashion Friends skin gift is a set of lingerie in both black and white...does Ramses Meredith love Oreos?  I prefer Cakesters.  Anyhoo, the lingerie is beautifully detailed including lace gloves, corset with a sheer back and itty bitty panties that barely cover but add a little bit of DANG! to the set. Skin and lingerie details below...and above. 

Whew! Check back tomorrow for my showcase of shoes! :D

Have a fabulous Friday everyone!
