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::

Take That, Metaverse! It's Mesh!

I was going to a casting today that had to do with mesh and recalled that a couple of weeks ago I went on a mesh rampage during a blizzard.  I found some nice springy pieces I had apparently bought with the help of a gift card.  Today I was ecstatic because I found the 500L gift card in my inventory but when I went to buy another color of a dress I already had, being a forgetful little piggy, I was slapped by the metaverse which said to me in a deep and booming voice, "Tut! Tut! You have 35L left on this card!"  Not liking to be caught in my forgetful piggy form, I instantly chucked the gift card at the metaverse and sliced it in the meta eyeball.  Which will be causing lag for at least a week. I apologize.

I did style this up for you, though! (And for me because I'm a little piggy)






















By the way, once I uploaded this, I noticed I look like one of those people they make fun of on Flickr. Or dangerously close. I promise this is not the case.  It's just the angle of the photo. That chair is not bigger than my waist.  I might be drooling milk IRL but that's just part of the makeup I was wearing. I assure you my photography has vastly improved lately but I'm now getting used to the Firestorm update.  So get off my back (in the nicest possible way.) Also there's balloons because it's my RL Mom's birthday today. AKA: The First Day of Spring. Which, of course, means we are getting snow. Happy Birthday, Momster!

Style Card:

Skin: (Closeup with added makeup below)  *ES* Silver Screen Rita Noir 2.0
You can find this skin and a few others from Evangeline Schism on Marketplace for 15L

Hair: >TRUTH< Miku 2 - silver

Makeup: [HANDverk] Enu Face Paint [FULL] (Free gift!!)

Clutch: Finesmith: Womenstuff Hunt Gift (It's packed with goodies, it's mesh and it was still at the store last I looked!)

This is a raw shot of the skin and makeup in the "midday setting" at the Humanoid sim.  The skin actually is Noir so it's good for black and white shots.  The makeup is listed above and includes the orange eye coloring and white chin coloring. They also include it in separates.

Peace out, Girl Scout!

Do You Have a Lisp for Spring?

No? Well hop on down to Lisp and touch their subscriber to get the lovely Granny's Knitting Circle gift they just sent out! It's adorable and very calming!  It comes with orange soda, a book and knitting projects as props and a trunk with a book, glasses, tea, flowers and a yarn ball on the ground.  Don't forget the floral lawn chairs that my grandma would have loved to sit in and tell some yarns. See what I did there? Boom tish!

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.

IM Sweaty Badger if you're interested in becoming part of this lovely group.

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

I'll do that in private, thank you.  Following are just some of the hats she has to offer at the Fashion for Life event.  Please go and support the American Cancer Society or if you cannot then educate yourself through their website here and enjoy the photos of the hats!
