Sintimacy - Turning Heads Dress

Deirdre :
We hadn’t dropped by Sintimacy in a while, and when we did, the latest release looked really good so we decided to share it with you, faithful readers.

This cool ensemble is called Turning Heads Dress... and I think it’s pretty much guaranteed to do that.

Now while it’s not strictly speaking a fetish outfit in the sense of heavy rubber and gasmasks, it’s hot, sexy club wear and there were boots included ;)

The dress is one layer only, but I can’t picture needing to wear much else with it.

The top is shirt layer so you can add a jacket for those long chilly walks from the limo to the club door.

Visit Sintimacy on Facebook.

lelo :
Another complete outfit tonight.. well complete as in boots and dress *winks*

The dress comes with the smart panels that hide the ugly way SL makes a dress.

The boots have a nice re-size script and for a change i needed it, haven’t seen boots this small in SL, but plus 12% and they fit perfectly with out breaking a sweat.

Ohh almost forgot the lovey bracelets included in the package, a nice fashionable change from my usual bracelets.

Faktum Style - Latex Outfit Skirt Pink

Deirdre:
This little dress outfit by Faktum Style (simply called Latex Outfit Skirt) features something you don’t see every day : loose latex.

The vendor pic caught my eye for that reason at the Rubber Room mall, and we paid Faktum Style a visit.

On the plus side, the store is small, so you won’t be confused looking for the outfit ;)

The outfit is available in 12 colors - that is, black plus 12 accents.

A cool little outfit, we look forward to seeing more designs by Faktum Maktoum.

lelo:
Simple little outfit, 10 parts is all, but it is a complete kit, just add skin. hair and shape and you are smiling.

I like the boots, they are what i would call working sub’s boots, nice and shiny, platform and good walkable chunky heel.

The pink belts only purpose is to tie the boots in with the skirt.

The boots come with a simple but functional re-size script, but seems these boots were made for me.

The pink accent colour can also be found on the gloves and the net-stockings, nice details.

Fun little outfit, as long as you don’t mind the size of your butt in this skirt.. *winks*

Drakke's Designs - Obsession

Deirdre:
Want some brand-new, hot-off-the-press, shiny, funky-heeled, platform crotch-high boots?

Drakke’s Designs knows you do ;) So here are the just-released “Obsession” boots.

They’re based on the same prims as the Elektra ankle boots we’ve shown you, but the contrasting lucite sole highlights the foot shape really nicely.

And speaking of lucite, see this cool pic I swiped from ifshoescouldkill.com

A RLV version of Obsession will be released on Friday, and you’ll be able to get them soon (at a discount!) on the Second Life Marketplace (the artist formerly known as XStreetSL).

A v2 version is included, and fiddling to adjust the boots to be tight but not show skin was a little challenge that had me yearning for alpha stockings, I’ll admit.

Gorgeous fetish boots - you see that you don’t need much to make a fetish outfit with them ;)

lelo:
When we were talking to Mandrakke a little while back he told us he was working on some crotch high boots.

To say Mistress was a little interested is an understatement, so she was quite happy when she received these today.

As usual the adjustments with high boots like this take a bit of work, but this is as good as it can get till we get mesh and it delivers what it promises.

Nothing says Domme like thigh high or even like these crotch high boots.. well maybe a whip and a stern look, but a pair of boots is easier on the eyes. *winks*

Hugo's Design - Bound

Deirdre:
A skimpy, strappy new release from Hugo’s Design, this outfit is simply called Bound.

Bondage bunnies will squeal with glee, I’m sure ;)

If the naked look is a little too bare for you, these straps look good over other clothes.. spruce up those jeans!

No, I kid. Bound totally improves the look of a plain catsuit, though.

(Cute little red censorship heart not included.)

Don’t forget to visit Hugo’s regularly to see the sale items.

Two new items at 70% sale price are out now, Berrie and Lucid.

Look for the red-framed vendors at either end of the main store.

lelo:
Ok now this is something you don’t expect, Bound leaves you nearly naked and still Erik managed to pack the folder with 21 items.

Well, i did count the picture, LM and thank you note, still 18 clothing pieces in the pack.

There are a few options but mostly it’s a belt harness and like i said in the Squeaky Rubber post a while back, this is an essential for a sub.

The belts look pretty sharp and they are just the right size to look good.

All the versions come in all the 3 cloth layer so you can wear it over your favorite catsuit, try a POC blood-red it really makes the belts pop.

To save our PG rating Mistress added one of her hearts, for the nipples Erik kindly include a couple of nipple covers.

So run to Hugo’s and get bound.... and this time the sim-server won’t mind *winks*

Pony Places : Euro Pony Stables

Doing my usual search of SL places listed, I found one named Euro Pony Stables. Coming from the UK, I thought it might suit my time zone, and took a closer look.

On first impressions, this sim is full of promise, and as a new build, is still currently being worked on. But it is huge!

Occupying what appears to be at least a full sim, perhaps more, the land boasts a pony club, as well as its own mall. The mall is not reserved exclusively for pony vendors.

In the north-west corner is the Euro Pony Club : a barn with stalls around the edges, and a mini steeple course on the inside - perfect for bad weather training.

To the south, just in front of the landing area, are a pony bath and a walker, and heading east takes you to the main areas.

Up a grassy hill (leave the heels at home ladies) and through an archway finds another pony walker and a cart race track.

Veering southeast of the track and onto a path you encounter the first "pony tour" stop - a bus stop for a pony cart. Not a totally new idea, but one I like anyway.

Going along the cobbled pathways takes you past a barn equipped with grooming, breeding and even a grinding mill, all tailored for the pony (from Unbridled)

At the end of that path, as you encounter a turn, below you lies a steeple set on both sides of a small lake. Venturing East now and up the hill to the essential pony training features.

Steeple, slalom, barrel racing and of course a dressage field. exploring further takes you into a small outdoor store area, including an open collar vendor and a small freebie section.

And lastly, the entrance to the mall, one side of the entrance is for ponies, the other for humans, with tour stops inside. Shopping from a cart? Great idea!

Overall, this is a promising sim, early in development. I will be keeping a close eye on it, and exploring again soon.

My only concern is that all the vendors and mall might make it seem more a commercial venture than a labour of love. Though with the cost of running a sim, it is a necessary evil for many.

Definitely worth a look if you are trying to find somewhere new.

Danish Design - Police Catsuit Black

Deirdre:
You have the right to remain sexy. Everything you wear will be held closely against you.

Ok, that was easy, but I had to do it ;)

Introducing Police Catsuit Black from Danish Design, a detailed outfit with some excellent prim accessories, like the belt, cap, tie, shirt sleeves and collar.

A note about the collar : it comes ready to be worn on “spine2”. Now I’m old fashioned, and I only have one of those, so the collar floated somewhere off to my left.

I detached, attached it to chest, and after a bit of editing, positioned it properly for that sexy uniform look.

The cap is a bit tricky, as are all hats. My hair is Sirena’s “Seduction”, and works pretty well with it, if you don’t mind the bun sticking out a bit.

The top and bottom are in all layers, although I can’t see wearing anything over this cool outfit. A long leather coat, maybe?

lelo:
A new copper is in town and she means business.. *smiles*

Here is proof that Danish Design isn’t only about pretty dresses, but that she surely deserves a place in this blog.

Even though the BAX boots are in both our as the vendor picture they aren’t part of the kit...really they are not... sorry.. i know they look great with the outfit.. but they’re not with the kit.. so live with it....or just buy them at BAX... .though being a reader of this blog i’m sure you already have them in all colors..

Now if i only could swipe that little key of her belt.... *winks*

Spurge Latex Clothing - Red Plasma Catsuit

Deirdre:
A nice, inexpensive and original catsuit, this is Red Plasma, from Spurge Latex.

The texture is really well made, giving a real impression of depth when looking closely.

The reflections are less bold than POC, say, but subtle is not a bad thing.

The catsuit comes in three top and two bottom layers, plus gloves and stockings, for that all-over look ;)

The store is small but clean. Many bigger stores could learn lessons from it.

lelo:
A new designer joins our tags today, our 173rd, not that we are keeping track of things like that. *winks*

We found them at Latexia, always a good place to look for new latex.

First thing that caught our eyes was the fun patterns in the latex, something Mistress knows well from her local latex store, Polymorphe.

The second thing that sealed the deal was the pricing, very high quality for a tiny budget.

So add some nice boots, corset and other accessories and you have a great base for an even greater outfit.

VvB Stiletto Heels - Petite Ballet Shoes

Deirdre:
Viktoria’s in the home stretch, having converted most of her designs to the new version 3, as we said, with all new sculpts and so on.

Here’s a glimpse at what’s next in her production schedule, colors!

This is the Petite Ballet Shoe, in white. When Vik’s all caught up, every design of hers will be available in black, red and white.

To be precise, this is the Petite Slave version. There is also a Petite, without all the cool buckles and straps and rings and RLV scripts.

I say if you’re going to wear ballets, go whole hog, but maybe there are “ballet light” fans out there ;)

lelo:
Woohoo, more ballets for my collection, the new v3 ballet shoes by VvB called the Petite.

These are slave version, which have the D-rings, belts and little locks, the standard version misses these fun little extra’s.

In the package you get a RLV and a “normal” version of the boots, so if you don’t want to use RLV you don’t have to drag the scripts around with you, your local server will thank you. *winks*

The scripting is basic, giving you the option to change the color of the laces, turn the ao on and off and you can control the sound level.

The locking is done simply by touching the shoes so better check if they are locked before entering a “play” sim or you might get attached to them a bit more than you might like. *smiles*

As before a great improvement, good toe box, lovely heel and great little details, a must have for the Fall doll collection.

POC - Sidewinder In The Net Ruby

Deirdre:
Latex and fishnet is not a combo you’ll see too often in RL.. static problems, I would guess ;)

(Although I say that and I recall seeing whalenet stockings over a catsuit, for a splash of color)

This fun outfit, then, is Sidewinder in the Net, by Powers of Creation. It has quite a number of mix-and-match looks, from fairly covered to pretty uncovered.

The latex color looks translucent - aside from being a master of shine, looks like Kai is also a wiz with tints.

The fishnet looks good despite the well-known difficulties with some body parts in SL.

There are no gloves included, so the look is a little bare... must be winter coming up, it makes me want to throw on a jacket ;)

lelo:
Seems Kai has been looking at Hugo’s and got a bit of inspiration to make something new.

There is a bit fith element in this outfit, though Leeloo never had the added fishnet fabric.

Still this is a great combination of both the fishnet and the shiny POC latex, seems he even can make small strips of it shine.

With this outfit you get 3 options, the shown sexy catsuit, an almost naked body or fully naked. *winks*

Its good to see that Kai is making new clothes again, it’s been a bit silent at POC lately.

3Ponies HUD

I received a HUD to test from guaka Nozaki, found at Alikat Stables, which incorporates an AO, sound and basic emote all in one simple HUD.

This has been available for some time, but has recently been updated, and whilst I would have to admit that the product is not as polished as some, it shows that ponies are creative.

The AO included in the HUD for the pony walk is a fairly clean, and typical walk, and includes both a jump and pre-jump animation for jumping the steeple.

The animations are functional, but may have you searching for other animations to add. This hud uses the largely familiar Zhao AO so adding animations is a walk in the paddock.

This also means you can personalize the HUD if you feel this is necessary.

For the record, I have tried my hand at animations, and it is almost impossible to do unless you have a natural gift for it.

So I admire anyone that can have a go and succeed without leaving limbs looking as though they are disjointed or broken. Well done Guaka.

The emotes and sounds are as expected : the usual array of whinnies, snorts and yes - even a stomp, and include looking around, and caressing your owner.

The HUD is laid out in a circle, with the emotes laid out as spokes from the centre, and clicking between the spokes brings up your typical Gorean submissive poses.

Whilst this HUD may not be essential purchasing, it shows what a determined pony is prepared to do to add more depth to pony play.

Let's hope more ponies decide to do the same.

Ponka - Gaya

Deirdre:
Beponka Nirvana is a new designer - see, we don’t only cover the old established houses.

So don’t mind the small store in the little strip mall, she’s just getting started.

Gaya, the outfit that grabbed us, is quite good. I think it shows a promising designer well worth keeping an eye on.

The stockings, in particular, look really good. Nice reflections, and a rear seam adds a neat touch.

You can see Beponka's blog at ponkafashion.blogspot.com, and have a look at her designs on XStreet.

lelo:
Another new find this week, Gaya by Ponka, a new label finding it’s way into SL.

In the box you get a good looking top in all three layers, the skirt in 2 layers and a pair of latex stockings.

Finally there is a short prim skirt, the kind i absolutely adore.

The skirt has a good resize script but fitted me with no adjustment at all.

The cut of the outfit is very good and i love the overall look of it especially the big buckles and of course the lovely skirt.

All items are trans so if you ever get bored with it you can always make a newbies day and give them instant credibility.

Danish Design - Roses Dress Black

Deirdre:
Danish Design is another designer we didn’t know. And can you blame us? They’ve only been in business for three years ;)

This is the Roses Dress, in black. There is a just-released version in white, which is also lovely.

DD is latex couture. This classy dress can be worn to the ballroom or the Rubber Room ;)

The included glitch pants make a fine outfit with the dress top worn like a bustier.

Top and bottom are included in all layers for mix and match convenience.

An included (but not documented, I kidded Pip a little about it) menu lets you resize the skirt for perfect fit.


lelo:
Another find in the Rubber Room mall, which turns out to be a goldmine of new designers for us.

Danish Design stood out because of it’s fashionable latex, not something you see in many latex shops, which mostly go the slutty or fetish way.

The main store turned out to be as light and fashionable as the clothes we had seen.

Mistress eyes were immediately drawn to the Roses dress, most probably because of the Bax boots worn on the vendor. *winks*

We called Pip and after a short wait, she was working as a DJ, she joined us at the store.

A quick chat, turned into a fun yakking session of close to an hour, in which she explained that she loves the shine of latex, but that she isn’t into the fetish side of things.

As she remarked, “I usually run to my vendors on fetish sims, trying not to blush too much”.

The Ancient Tree Kimono Shops - China Ink Black Latex Kimono Short

Deirdre:
Malls are like catalogs for us, I told someone recently.

While looking around the Rubber Room mall, we saw this gorgeous latex kimono from Ancient Tree. The full name is China Ink Black Latex Kimono Short - I couldn’t resist :)

We’ve run a latex kimono from Kayliwulf before, but this one has the fancy obi with a bunch of authentic details.

You can also get the traditional sandals, but they’re not included with the kimono. No socks, or the fashion police will pull you over and give you a ticket!

The hanging sleeves look good when your forearms are horizontal.. maybe pick a suitable pose for your AO if you want to wear this outfit to good effect.

Also, do visit the store blog!

lelo:
For tonight's post we travel to the land of the rising sun and i’m sorry, i like the look but i don’t know much about the traditions or even the names, so please be kind if i get something wrong..

The obi, see the info in Mistress’s bit, has a nice little resize menu which lets you adjust it to show off you waist line.

You get 2 versions of the obi in the kit, the maiko (longtail) and the one i’m wearing the geisha style.

The sky-scraper flip-flops are called Mitsu Ashi getas, the Japanese version of balletboots, that were traditionally worn by the oirans during their formal parade through the pleasure districts where they were confined

The getas have a menu which lets you change the color on them to make them match the colors on your Kimono, and there are loads of colors available.

Like i said i don’t associate kimono’s and getas with D/s or fetish, but i do like the look... *smiles*

Kayliwulf : Implants Shop and Here Comes Trouble

Deirdre:
Under the main towers of Kayliwulf Kingdom, in the center of the island, is the new Implants Shop.

A central point where the outfits and implants themselves (eBoobs and Universal Implants) can be purchased was the motivation for the shop.

The entire Fetishdoll X line will include implant textures eventually - Laz is pulling late nights to make it so.

So what can we expect from Kayliwulf? More focus on the harder/fetishier stuff, as he says, and the implants certainly fit well along those lines.

We heard more, but I won’t tell tales out of school ;) The only gossip I’ll share for now is a surprise appearance of Laz as DJ this Saturday at 3PM SL... We’ll be there!

lelo:
Ok summer is almost over, it’s time to go back to school... Fetish U in this case. *winks*

There are some fun things in this package:

For one the Implant applier, which gives you barely legal covering of the boobs.

Another thing are the new Kayliwulf Kingdom ballets, ok we featured them before but they are still pretty nice.. *smiles*

Finally there is the plaid skirt, on which you can select the color of the petticoat from an almost endless list of colors.

The set is completed with a pair of socks and a fun little collar with bow, both in the same latexy plaid as the skirt.

Now where did i put that apple for the teacher...

Vocally Challenged?

A designer of pony items has requested some help from the pony community to aid with a product in development.

A female with a microphone is required to provide "voice-over" sounds on a product in development.

Anyone interested in lending a voice to this project, please drop me a notecard in world, or leave a message here - making sure to include your SL name so that someone can get back to you.

I would also like to remind any of you designers or builders that if you have a product you would like featured here in the pony section, please contact myself, Jaydana Thorne - this is especially important if the product is no transfer.

I got news of a new HUD and had planned to give it my once over this week, however, as the item was no transfer and had been sent to Deirdre, I was unable to do so.

Maybe next week?



Anyone looking for a cheap Anthro pony avatar should take a peek at slave for bondage

Heading East up the gangway on landing, and then turning South (left) at the Prim Optic Vendor, follow the wooden path and on your right, just before you enter the meadow, is a pile of boxes containing these wonderful, if entry level quality, anthro pony avatars.

These are great particularly for those unsure about spending potentially huge amounts of money on something only to discover it is not for you.

While cheap, these avatars are cute, cheerful and fun, and while there, why not explore the rest of the Slave for Bondage sim too?

Maison Broceliande - Puppy Fetch Game

Deirdre:
So you have a puppy. Maybe she’s wearing K9 gear, and looking terrific.

She follows you around on your leash, and if you found good AO, maybe even curls up at your feet or whatever.

But if you want to *play* with her, here’s a cool toy from Broceliande : The Puppy Fetch Game.

This is one toy that actually goes to the owner rather than the pet.

An included note explains the mechanics, and another gives some rather stern rules for puppy play.

I was able to throw the toys (mouseview, click - dead easy) about 15 meters. Plenty for play, you don’t really want this to turn into a crawling marathon.

The fetching attachment worn by the puppy is transfer but no copy. You get two, which should be fine unless you have a kennel ;)

lelo:
Ok, this isn’t a new release but we think this is so much fun we just had to show you.

The fetch game is a simple two part system, the owner wears the toy thrower attachment and the puppy wears the fetch attachment.

When the owner throws the stick, bone or ball the item flies across the field and the puppy can chase it.

When you get to the item the fetcher automatically picks it up and places it in the puppies mouth, please remove muzzle before play. *winks*

When the puppy returns to the owner the item is dropped at the feet of the owner, just like a good puppy should.

As you might expect from a MB product the texturing is pretty good.

XTC Leather - Pisces

Deirdre:
Introducing XTC’s latest release, a cool leather catsuit called Pisces.

Authentic folds, rich colors, good details, at a very reasonable price - you can see why XTC is so popular.

Asa reminder : the outfits are no trans, so if you want to offer them as gifts, make sure to buy from the “gift” vendor boxes at the store.

A little tip : since the outfit is mod, don’t hesitate to go in Appearance -> Pants -> Pants fit, and change the fit to look more like leather pants and less like tights ;) (see third pic for an example)

lelo:
A new catsuit by XTC and as usual XTC stands for a great leather texture.

The cut is very sexy and shows both cleavages, so you better not be shy when wearing this.

It comes in the shirt/pants layer only, so you add underwear and a jacket/corset.

The catsuits are available in black, blue, red and Violet as shown here.

The catsuit is laced together in the front, as a fun little add on you could put a little prim bow-tie, like the ones KK uses, at the top, but don’t tell Xaviar or Laz. *winks*

Drakke's Designs - Elektra Fetish Boots

Deirdre:
Some fun ankle boots from Drakke, these are the Elektra Fetish Boots.

The wild heel and platform hide a very good foot shape, and the shine is bold and quite good.

If you drop by the gorgeous main store, don’t miss the 50L$ cheapie “Starry” boots by the door.

You can’t miss Drakke’s, it’s the store with the spotlights in front ;)

We heard about Drakke from one of our readers, Rubberdoll Magic - thank you doll, and tell your friends we love suggestions like these!

lelo:
I just love when a designer gets the name of a product totally right.

These boots are really a fetishists dream, extreme high heel, good looking platform and a nice latex shine.

And the Elektra in the name must be the fun, build in, Neon lights, which are controlled by a nice little HUD.

The boots themselves have a good resizing script and the option to kill the script when done.

Only thing missing might be a locking script, but hey, most of you will have a nice little relay that can take care of that.

Emerald Viewer

With the unfortunate collapse of the Emerald Viewer, many of us may now be looking for an alternative. I know I was.

I wanted the double attachment points of Emerald, coupled with the Media and tattoo layer available in Viewer 2.0 and later Emerald updates, and RLV features.

I thought that I was going to have to go back to the official SL viewer and lose out on the 2nd attachment points.

But, I was tipped off to a little known viewer which was based on the latest Emerald Viewer, but with "with the bad things taken out".

This viewer is called Emergence, and works just like the Emerald Viewer utilising Viewer 2.0 at the source. And this includes RLV as an option. http://code.google.com/p/emergence-viewer/

Why are 2nd attachment points so important to me?

Pony tack takes up a lot of attachment points. If I use all prim tack, then there are only 1 or 2 places left to attach other things.

And if these other things are RLV items, and locked, then something has to give.

Careful planning to use these secondary attachments helps to prevent this problem.

I wear a ring on my right hand - which gets displaced if I wear my hand hooves.

By placing the ring on the secondary hand attachment, I can wear both the ring, and the hoof without the need to re wear it on removing the tack.

The other viewers worth considering are Imprudence - though this does not yet support secondary attachments without some minor tweaking. See this link for more info http://imprudenceviewer.org/wiki/Main_Page

Breast physics and the second attachments I am told can be added by tweaking, but as this viewer is being updated regularly, some patience may be enough to get around this.

Another option you may want to consider is the Cool Viewer - which has been around for some time, and was my viewer of choice before I found Emerald.

For now, I will be using Emergence, as this seems is essentially Emerald, however like many SL users, I will be keeping an eye on these other ones too.

Hot off the press : I have just been informed of a new viewer from part of the Emerald Team, including the developer behind the Emergence Viewer, relating to the new Phoenix Viewer.

This is a direct replacement for Emerald and is currently pending approval for the Third Party Viewer Policy approval.

Squeaky Rubber - Burning Star Catsuit and Star Harness

Deirdre:
We dropped by Elisa’s little skybox to see what was new since our last visit, and I was pleasantly surprised to find these new low-cost outfits - I hate to call good quality work like this a “cheapie”.

Burning Star has Squeaky’s trademark translucent look to it, and it’s gorgeous.

You get two pairs of gloves (I’m wearing the contrasting black, but there’s a zentai-effect, same color glove included) and two pairs of stockings, along with two bottoms and two tops.

There’s no jacket layer included, which makes sense - why wear a full catsuit over something else?

The black star motif is a neat touch, and a change from plain, solid catsuits.

Elisa tells me she has new things coming up... we’ll keep you posted :)

lelo:
Nothing says sub quite as much as a good belted harness, and here it is.. *winks*

The Harness comes in black (full picture), lime, red (close up), brown, pink, silver and white.

You also get all layers so you can mix and match them to your outfit, do you wear it under or over a corset??

Ohh you should see the back it looks great... ahh you can't... well get your own and you can stare at your own bum for a change.

Next to the harness you get a nice rubber-skin, which Elisa still calls a prototype, not sure why it looks great.

The skin tone is neutral and so is the make-up, so for me it works without losing my face. *smiles*

At this price no sub should be with out one.
