Unisexy at MWFW and at Home

What started out as fun hair shopping outing with fellow model Sacre Bellecour quickly snowballed into tons of unisex incidents and inspirations.  This fun photo was followed up by shots taken at the Viktor/Viktoria show at MWFW 2012 and then some shots of myself when I quickly had to throw my male avatar together for a shot for Morgane Batistas Runway Perfect Hunt item.  It turns out I made a good andro avatar although I just forgot to take off my earrings and makeup. I thought I looked like K.D. Lang but had lots of compliments so I took some photos. I forget the name of the hair we are wearing above but it's from Burley, a demo (hence the weird streakies) and looks awesome on both a girl and a boy. Which was the point I was trying to make in the first place. Without further ado here are the shots from MWFW's Viktor Vikotoria show:

Also my apologies to Locked Semaphore for accidentally buying part of the set. Luckily I didn't pick it up. >.>

And now here are some photos of me just accidentally being part woman part man. I'll follow it with a photo of a unicorn just because it may be horrifying. I really wasn't trying!  But it was interesting!

Oh right. I found a good windlight. I sell this light linen pullover in my shop. It's unisexy!  But note the earrings and the ring!  Totally unisexing it up.  Check the man hands!  The shape and skin are from The Attic from a former Twisted Hunt.  You may be able to wrestle it out of Blue Hoisan if you ask nicely or wave some L's in front of her. Maybe vacuum her shop. 

How awesome are these baggy mesh pants from Pumpkin?  They're unisexy too because they include both boy and girl options.  They tend to look less like you took a massive poo in your pantalones if you are taller and slimmer. Or not an invisible pony rider. You've seen them. 

That's my weenie stand in the background. You should come visit. I also have a cow you can milk!

Oh I forgot about the unicorn. I'll find a unicorn thing I can blog later.  I promise yooooo.  Sorry my nails suck in the photo. I keep forgetting I'm wearing them. It's my first pair. Awwww.
 
TGIF!!! Seriously.

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::

Mesh With My Eyes!!!

When I found out Blue Hoisan of The Attic Skins & Shapes made mesh eyes (YES, MESH EYES) I ran right over to see like there was some sort of accident involving a carnie at a trainyard!  Don't judge. Anyhoo, The Attic also happens to be part of Goose and Gander Fridays this week and guess what she has out for 60L for JUST TODAY? That's right. Mesh Eyeballs.  They're good for the goose and the gander which is basically what the group is all about.  Speaking of which, here's a gander at the eyes!

What's even more exciting is that if you can work a shoe hud, you can work these eyes!  I can actually work these eyes better than I can work a shoe hud.  Which explains all the shoe hud shaped holes in my wall. 

They come with a resizing and color picking hud.  Blue is working on a true brown color still but otherwise you can toy with your eye color, making them look realistic or fantasy.  They are not rigged mesh so you can adjust them manually as well.  Included are two alphas. One for your head so it disappears while adjusting and one for your eyes that are not mesh once you have adjusted your new fancy pants eyes!

Now. One. Other. Thing.  These are the Friday Mesh Eyes.  That means they are EXCLUSIVE and only 60L for today.  I plan on purchasing the other ones as well but why not get a bargain when you can! 

Mesh. Eyes. Fabulous.

Most of all, please support the designers who are part of it! Did I say...mesh eyes?!!

With Me Each Day

Unfortunately, I am not able to head over to the Fashion for Life event to shop due to being low on Lindens.  However, I encourage everyone to do so if they are able. Each bit helps.

Awareness helps even more, though.  I lost my amazing Grandma to Leukemia when I was just two years old but I feel she is with me at each moment of my life.  She was stylish with each move she made and far ahead of her time.  Working for the government in the Yukon during the forties as a single woman was not the norm.  Her photography was breathtaking and I am lucky to have the camera she toted around with her.  I can't say enough about her but I'm sure the people who have touched your lives and do touch your lives would appreciate you thinking of them each day. 

This blog post is dedicated to my Grandmother, whom I support with my heart and soul and look to for guidance to this day. 

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.}

Mens.Select Event

Hey there!  Fresh of the presses of the Sweaty Badger are the Man of the House Goggles! Created for the new store and for the Mens.Select Event, these mesh goggles with weathered wood texture and shading can be styled anyway you want. Even the ladies can pull them off!

Soupy's Showcase of Shoes!

Since I'm a shoe hoarder or "collector" by nature, I'm not sure why I don't have more shoes in my Second Life.  This is something I have decided to work on. Hey, a gal has to have a goal, right?  I traded it for my goal of learning to drive in a non-destructive way in SL.   Here's a few pairs of shoes I have picked up in the last couple of days.  I found some more but I have to do some burlesque later at Blue Moon's Cabaret (psst...show's at 2:30 every Saturday) and haven't more time to stand around taking photos of my av's feet...as much as I adore doing so.

 The Maja Clog from Loordes of London is this week's offering for le ladies in the second cycle of Goose and Gander Fridays.  Even though it's Saturday now, I'm pretty sure you can still get them.  Coleen Macarthur makes lovely and creative shoes that reflect her sharp wit and kindness.  She also enjoys eating lunch which is one of my favorite meals along with dinner and, on Saturdays, breakfast. I would pretty much eat these shoes if I could.

 Oh hey! What's this? More Loordes of London?!  Tss...we don't leave the men out at Goose and Gander Fridays!  In fact, it's a requirement not to! Loordes of London offers los hombres and those who enjoy being unisexy (such as myself) the Fulham Riding Boots in dark mauve.  I couldn't quite capture how the lace holes, for lack of a better term, glint when you walk. Believe me they do.  Not to be mistaken for the ghastly bling! No! They just glint like Cary Grant's smile.

Now and again, I cannot resist going to Grim Bros. for some fancy and dandy shoes that don't break the bank.  I'm usually there for about an hour but not for a spree.  I wish!  That would take a whole day!  There's so much detail to these, the Dahlia Heels Satin in bleu, but they are one of the simpler pairs available.  Sure, I want the Steampunk prosthetic with a matching spare shoe but maybe another day.  I could go on and on about Grim Bros. but I'll let you do some exploring.  I would eat these shoes, too but it might be the equivalent of when I was a kid and shoved some tiny clocks up my nose.  Just kidding! *cough*

 Well look at that...the boardwalk ate my favorite sandal ever!  Good job, photographer!  Um, yeah. Anyhoodle, these are not my favorite sandals because they were FREE on marketplace and come with prim toes, optional bangles and toe rings. No, sir! They are my favorite because they are so adorable and, as kismet would have it, match the rainbow swimsuit outfit from my previous post! Here it is on Marketplace!  The shoe listing...that is.  No, don't you eat my feet!  So gross but I can understand because they make your toes look like candy!

Alrighty...myself and my N key are out.  It's lunchtime dontcha' know?

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!

However!  Here's what we've got!

 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!

Beyond the Sea...Hole!

This scene looks serene and peaceful but this lovely skirt and top was on mega sale at The Sea Hole due to Drinkenstein Sorbet being attacked by lightning in her mini van in RL!  Thus, she has put tons of items on sale for 50L each.  The items are marked by a white mini van being attacked by lightning. Too awesome!  The sale...I mean.  Below, you can see the mini van you are looking for in the store and also Drink's clever humor.

Style Card:
Hat and Sunglasses: Rainbow Wave Swimsuit Outfit: I think this was very, very cheap or free on marketplace but is made by HANDverk (the hat and glasses came with a cute swimsuit and waist wrap)
Hair: booN hairpiece YUME96 gold from booN (Thank goodness for booN and their hat hairpieces!)
Top: The Sea Hole: I'm Knot in Love With You in indigo (See LM to store above)
Skirt: The Sea Hole: Heron Skirt in slate (See LM to store above)
Skin: It's my mostly regular one from Fashionably Dead: Morning Sun-Winter 5

Coming up next: Goose and Gander Friday offerings and footwear!! I just bought some new shoes which I seem oddly short on; I'm going to show you pictures of my stinky avatar feet!

Woo!
