Le Manoir de Sade

“Jaydana is leaving us to pursue other opportunities...” ;)

No, we had a great time with Jay over the last couple of years, but RL beckons, so we wish her the best of luck.

But the Pony Correspondent column remains!

Lelo and I will continue keeping you informed about cool pony people, places and things.

---

My sweetie discovered a new pony sim, and we went to investigate : Le Manoir de Sade, which like other sims not exclusively devoted to pony play, nevertheless has an excellent pony (and puppy!) play area.

This is one of the only - if not the only - French pony-related sim we’ve found.

Sade was established in 2008, and a pony attempt was briefly made at the time, but the current pony group has been active for the last three months.

The sim is gorgeous, with lovely stone architecture and landscaping, and a number of fun little nooks to sit and chat.

The puppy area has a fun obstacle course with jumps, tubes, a balance beam.. it looks like quite a challenge.

The pony dressage field has a neat feature we haven’t seen elsewhere : you can select the markings for the figures on the ground with a touch on a sign in the fence.

Ponies train Wednesday and Sunday nights, usually. Angelique Redangel is in charge of the pony training.

Reminder : Sunday 12:30 is the pony procession at Xaara! There's still time to call Jorden Grau and RSVP if you want to participate. See last week's post for details.

Dark ELF Manufacture - Think Kink Free Cuff Set

Deirdre
Nihal invited us to come have a peek at a new freebie cuff set at Dark Elf some time back, and as we’re doing some fun toys this week, I thought the time was right.

While these cuffs look a bit plain, they’re meant for you to discover the excellent scripting they contain, and to entice you to come buy some of the prettier DEM collars.

There are 2 scripts in each cuff, so 8 scripts total, not counting the collar. Each script is 16KB, for a total of 128KB.

For a comparison, it’s not unusual to see one pair of cuffs with scripts adding up to 5000KB.

Throw in some good poses (the leg cuff shuffle walk is really good!) and the TK III fit-everywhere system, and you have a fine set of RLV toys for the price.

The Dark Elf Manufacture is at the rear of the Think Kink store. This is a very full store, bring a bit of patience along when you visit ;)

lelo
We are spoiling you rotten this week another freebie tonight.

The script in the collar is based on the now freeware Dari House script, but Chloe did quite a bit of scripting on it herself.

It has the same options as the DEM Collar we tested a while ago, so no cheap tuned down version of the script for the freebie.

The look is quite plain, suffering a bit from what Mistress calls the black on black problem.

But remember, if you want great looks with the script check out what DEM has in the Think Kink store.

Now the cuffs, have the same look as the collar, but again this is about the script not the look.

The cuffs offer the wearer 2 option re-size and owner, the owner can lock and bind the cuffs.

Be aware that the cuff poses are set to the lowest priority so better not wear your AO with them.

Kcreation - Armourweave Catsuit

Deirdre
You may get shot or stabbed more than we do - we don’t go on weapons sims.

If so, or if you just think chain mail is a nifty look, KCreations’ Armourweave is for you.

Armourweave comes in Mono, Red, Blue and Purple sets.

Each color comes with bright, dark, and light variations, plus shine applied to all of these, so yes, you get eight series of catsuits in the box.

This is really an original look. I can’t recall seeing anything like it, and we look more than most.

The black really caught my eye, and is about to become a wardrobe staple for a while, I think :)

---

Kat mentioned to me that she put out new free catsuits at the store, so even if you don't need armor just now, why not stop by?

---

lelo
Well Kat has been busy and together with leather catsuit sets we featured a few weeks ago she launched her Armourweave catsuits.

The Armourweave looks really amazing so we didn’t want to keep it from you.

As Mistress explained, you get a whole lot of colors in the pack: 48 items in all, each color comes in gloves, pants, underpants, shirt, undershirt and socks.

The dull standard colors, as worn here by Mistress in blue and dark grey, have a very carbon weave look, where the shiny ones, worn by me in bright red and purple, look very latexy.

Personally i’m more of a fan of the shiny version, but luckily both versions are included so no problem choosing there.

Neurolab - Stasis CryoGenic Hibernator Chamber

Deirdre
I had a cryogenic hibernation chamber in the mail this morning ;)

I was going to say that Neurolab is diversifying, except, not really. A peek at his Marketplace store (18 pages!) shows that Ono is a busy guy : spaceships, boots, clothes, toys.. even a space station.

The Stasis CryoGenic Hibernator Chamber, then, is a suitably sci-fi-y roleplay aid for you space villains, mad scientists and evil overlords of all descriptions.

This decorative little toy is 38 prims, which is a factor if like us, you’re close to your land’s prim limit.

It will deal automatically with animations you add in, so if you have some good frozen-stiff poses, now’s your chance to use them.

I like that in this toy, the RLV features are there to assist the roleplay aspect, and not the main point. Imagination still rules.

In conclusion, if you have a lovable rogue to ship to a Hutt, this toy is for you. ;)

lelo
Seems Ono found another object he could beautify with blue LED lights.

This is a stasis chamber but mind you it’s a cryogenic hibernation version.

Don’t you just love tech-talk like that, total mumbo jumbo but i do love it.

The owner can adjust the lighting colors on the chamber, to make it fit your play area, there is a choice of Violet, White, Yellow, Pink, Red, Dark Red,Green, Light Blue, Orange, Deep blue, Lavender and Fuschia. So something for every occasion.

You also get an RLV capture and timer function.

But this chamber is mostly about good old roleplay and we need more toys like that in SL.

Great looking, well scripted, imagination started that shouldn’t miss in any stasis cryogenic hibernation institute. *winks*

HybridZ - Freedom Continent Uniform

Deirdre : Four years ago, I met lelo at Desperation Isle, and we began an astonishing journey of discovery and friendship, which soon grew into deep love. In a world where two months is not unusual for a D/s relationship, I feel blessed to have met such an extraordinary person. We stuck together through happy and difficult times, in first and second world... and I believe we’ll be seeing many more anniversaries in Second Life together. lelo : Four years already, how time flies, don't know how i ever got so lucky but in Deirdre i found my, by lack of better words, soulmate. And as i've been well coming her back to heaven each night for the past 4 years, it's truely a match made in heaven. Still don't know why she picked me on Desperation Island, but i'm still glad she did. I love you from the bottom of my heart and i always will.

Deirdre
When we visited the Damsel mall last week, lelo immediately spotted the cool freebie Hybridz put up there, called simply the Freedom Continent Uniform.

Serjourn definitely seems to be a genius at getting win-win cooperation from people: good exposure for Hybridz, and a free fetish outfit for Freedom visitors.. it’s hard to do better.

The outfit is a classic Hybridz, with inflatable hood and sex-toy mouth hole. Some fun Freedom logos on the shoulders and a big Hybridz stamp on your behind will let everyone know where you stand ;)

Next time you drop by Bondage Ranch for some S&M (you know, Stand & Model), stop at the mall and have your slave pick up this classic little black dress.

The fixed landing zone at Damsel puts you at the top of the stairs of the mall, but if you use this slurl, you’ll see where the vendor is located with the map marker :
http://slurl.com/secondlife/Damsel/209/127/22

lelo
What’s better than a pair of ballet boots? do i hear you say two pairs? well yes, but these are even better, these are FREE!

Ok lelo calming down now... *winks*

From the people how brought you quite a number of rubber isolation suits, Hybridz, this is all you need to start your life in rubber bondage.

Opening the box reveals 3 prim items, did i mention two of those are ballets, and two catsuits, one for boys one for girls.

You get a good looking prim hood with a gaping suck mouth and a nice looking zipper on the back.

A zipper that continues down the back of the catsuit.

The hood and the boots offer you simple RLV lock and gag options.

Ohh and did i mention that you get these lovely, and may i stress, free ballet boots with the outfit.

Pony Procession at Xaara

Calling all ponies!

Get your tails over to Xaara on Sunday 31 July between 12.30 and 2.00pm, SL time.

There will be a procession, pony parade style, across the Xaara sims.

Ponies and trainers will meet in the courtyard, and proceed out the gate, around the castle and down the tree-lined path to begin the procession.

Please RSVP Jorden Grau if you want to participate.

This is one of Deirdre’s ambitions in SL for as long as I can say I have known her, and I am hoping to tack up and join in, if real life is good to me.

And if I can’t make it, I am hoping that someone will grab loads of pics to post.

So, don’t forget, Xaara, 12.30 PM SL time onwards, Sunday July 31st.

This should be a really amazing event - don't miss it!

Cold Embrace - Chastity Belt

Deirdre
We were going through the Damsel mall - a Colosseum of a structure near Bondage Ranch - and I saw Cold Embrace’s stall, which reminded me that we hadn’t featured them in much too long.

Looking back at the last C.E. post, I realized that the harness gag would definitely have justified more pics - it really is a good-looking toy.

In the last year, we switched to a standard three-pic layout for the posts, naturally, without thinking about it too much.

It’s odd to go back to older posts that don’t quite meet up to the new standards. We intend to keep improving when we can, so this experience will be less odd with time, I suppose.

Yak, yak, yak. You want details, not philosophy. The Cold Embrace chastity belt is a fearsome-looking piece of gear. Nobody will mistake it for a bikini bottom!

Thick straps with reinforcing metal, belt loops, padlocks.. short of throwing your slavegirl in a cage, this is the best way to prevent any access.

It isn’t the cheapest device we featured, but we do believe in fair pay for all that work... just paying the blacksmiths must be half the price of this toy ;)

lelo
Guess who’s been a good girl this week? Meeeeeeee *smiles*

Two toys in one week, it must be getting close to Christmas.

The belt is a bit bulky, but then it should keep a girl out of trouble.

The scripting is very solid and pretty intuitive as it’s divided in easy to follow folders.

The belt can control all RLV functions but for those who don’t use RLV you can switch off the RLV functions so you won’t lag out the sim.

There are a host of plug ins, like timers, alarms or leash functions.

In Settings, you can set your owner and adjust the colors of the belt to match your current wardrobe.

In Tools, you currently have only one option, a strap on dildo, though it looks like there is room for future options.

I like the quick show/no show button to protect the innocent in PG area’s.

So if you are looking to keep your significant other safe from others or him/her self - or you just love a big metal belt! - here’s a great option from Cold Embrace.

VvB Stiletto Heels - Prima Donna Ballet Thigh Boots V4

Deirdre
Vik sent us the Prima Donna Ballet Thigh Highs a few weeks back, right on the heels of the Witch calf boots, so we held them back a bit.

As I’ve said, SLFF could be the VvB new release channel if we let it.. and it could almost stay a daily. ;)

The foot shape is visibly improved over the V3 Prima Donnas which we covered last year.

Once again, I remind you that Viktoria is very good about upgrading older models to the recent V4’s for her clients.

I have yet to hear anything bad about Vik’s work or customer service.

lelo
Yes i know it’s turning into an obsession of mine, a fetish almost, i just can’t let a pair of ballets go by.. so a quick sorry in advance.. hang in there SL will run out of ballets sooner or later. *winks*

As before the Prima Donnas are two-part thigh highs, so they take a bit of work to fit totally right, a problem we’ll have to live with till the Lindens finally get around to add mesh to the SL mix.

Again there is the now familiar HUD to control the look of your boots.

Next to the sizing option, pose and LM you get control over the color of the laces, trim and metal parts.

A single button click hides or shows the straps on the boots.

There are two version of the boots in the box, a “normal” and a RLV enabled version, the RLV version has a simple "click to lock" script.

Next to the HUD and the optional RLV function, clicking the boots will give access to the “old” sound and AO menu.

Again the usual VvB eye for detail, giving you some great ballets.

Z and A Productions - Bunny Hood

Deirdre
We met Zardia Avindar during the Femdom Hunt last April, and as her store was the starting point, we saw some of her own designs.

The bunny hood caught my eye - I immediately recognized it because I love the RL version - but it wasn’t for sale at the time... the leather needed more neatsfoot oil or something.

Well, it is now available, and it looks darn good. The leather texture is large-grained enough to not only be visible up close; many designers go for smaller grain which fades to invisibility with distance.

Of course the hood is a solid, so it won’t be the face-hugging experience of its RL equivalent. (Maybe mesh will launch a revolution in masks and hoods!) But the shape is good for a unisex product. Note that there is also a black version available.

When you visit Z&A, pay no attention to the screams of mercy coming from the box.. it’s nobody important ;)

You can see news and good info on their blog : http://zandaproductions.blogspot.com/

lelo
This was the first prim hood that fit me out of the box, as Zardia says they are made for guys so have a pretty large fit.

The leather texture looks great, having a nicely worn, not quite white anymore, look.

The pink ears, stitching and nose together with the lovely pink bow tie will make this a hot item in the sissy circles.

The elegant scripting is fully RLV and quite easy to use, next to the usual RLV restrictions it offers a few lovely features.

When you use the blindfold, a lovely pink one appears and the thing i really love is when you set the mask to deaf, the ears are rolled up and a pair of cute pink ribbons secure them in place.

You can also set a title and you can change your vict.. ehh partners name for the elaborate gagging mode.

The pink bow tie is a optional prim part together with a fluffy bunny tail that secures... well you know.. back there...*blushes*

Karu Karu - Synergy

Deirdre
You know what they say, if you like someone, they have a style, and if you don’t like them, they’re repetitive? ;)

Synergy has some similarities with Ilona, but since we love it, we’ll say that Chane, like other designers, has a style very much her own - which you will recognize once you’ve seen a few of her designs.

This, then, is Synergy, by Karu Karu. We got the fat pack because I wanted to show a good sampling of the available colors.

The bright colors are really bright, and the darker ones, like ruby, are really dark.

(To be clear, Lelo's wearing red and not ruby in the second pic.)

I like the straps on the elbow gloves, matching the hip cutouts. The neck strap is fun if you like chokers (as I do) and don’t want to wear a prim one.

The lacing is a nice cleavage enhancer, making even my modest curves really stand out.

This is a very nice outfit, and the excellent price (even better on the fatpack) should encourage you to drop by Karu Karu soon soon ;)

lelo
A return to Karu Karu, means a return to simple quality outfits for good prices.

Like with the Ilona you get 5 items in the box, the base transparent catsuit, the latex top and the gloves.

The big difference are the lovely D-rings and string keeping the deep, deep cleavage in check.

You have a choice of black, blue, pale blue, pink, purple, red, ruby, white and yellow catsuit, something for every occasion i would say.

The pants are flared, but by shortening them 10% they will work great with boots.

Great sexy party outfit, which shouldn’t miss in any strippers wardrobe, platforms not included. *winks*

Euro Pony Stables

I am saddened to say that Euro Pony sim is closing as of August 1st.

This means that you have just a little over two weeks left to visit, before the sim closes.

If you have not already been there, then please make the time to swing by and explore before yet another pony sim closes it’s doors for the last time.

I always found the sim and nice place to trot about, never too busy that you were harassed there, and I love the stadium that was built.

It is always tragic when a pony sim closes, but I understand the cost of running one is high, and there comes a time when you just have to let something you love go.

There is also a puppy area and a BDSM castle, as well as a lake for swimming and canoeing. An apple tree game where you (ponies or puppies) run around the tree gathering the apples as they drop to see who can collect the most apples.

It is the nice touches like that that will be missed.

So come on ponies of Second life, let’s all give Euro Pony Stable a great send off, and enjoy climbing the skyways and running the tracks around the sim, you don't have much time left to do this before it disappears for us all !

Freedom - Damsel Dungeon

Lelo
Something new was created under the Damsel sim, and it’s slowly growing.

Reports say it already undermined Pirandello and has reached Bondage Ranch... and rumors even hint at tunnels being dug under Blacksilk.

Serjourn took us on a long tour of the newest attraction on Freedom Continent, the extensive underground (duh) dungeon complex.

In the entrance of the complex you get a choice of your RLV restriction for the dungeon.

Yes, as you might expect of a modern dungeon it’s full of RLV goodies and traps.

Serjourn assured us that when you take your restriction serious, you might spend quite some time in the dungeon, so you have been warned, not that that will change your mind one bit i’m sure. *winks*

Presently there are 11 themed rooms in the complex, ranging from an ice-dungeon, hell, the bridge of the bondage ship Enterspice and especially for my Mistress, a leather room.

We won’t go into full descriptions of all the rooms, because that would take all the fun out of the discovery.

As Serjourn is a collector of BDSM furniture, the displayed toys are all top class and at times pretty much unique in SL. Ohh and all free to be used, just please clean after use.

A special mention should be given to the test lab of Think Kink, if you want to try the newest from the - in our humble opinion - best toy makers in SL, this is the place to go.

Serjourn is still working on little last minute items, but the dungeon is open for use and abuse.

So go have a look at the biggest dungeon of SL, and try not to get lost, it is big. Really big. You just won't believe how vastly, hugely, mindbogglingly big it is. I mean, you may think it's a long way down the road to the chemist's, but that's just peanuts to this dungeon, listen...".

Kcreations - Leather Catsuit Set

Deirdre
Kat’s catsuits were the first freebies we covered, waaay back in October 2008.

Some of the very first latex I wore in SL was by KCreations - a lot of people can say the same, I think.

So when she called us with new leather catsuits, we were pretty happy to hear from her. First, she’s a good friend who we don’t see enough, and second, the designs were great.

Bright colors, subtle tints, great little details like seams and zips and prim parts.. the years of experience are really showing.

The pants version of the catsuit is not ideal for the included (and excellent) ankle boots - I wore them in the blue version to demonstrate.

You’ll probably want to wear the underpants version with the boots, and save the pants for shoes or such.

Drop by Kat’s store at Little Shop of Kink and pick up some of these extremely reasonably-priced two-color packs... but careful, it’s a place that leads to more fetish shopping ;)

lelo
Woohoo, Kat is back, the maker of the most worn free catsuit in SL is designing again.

First is the leather catsuit set, and a set it is, next to the catsuit you get color matched boots and collar.

The catsuit first though, in each pack you get two colors, light and dark blue, light and dark red, pink and purple and black and white.

You get a version with and one with out zipper in under and upper layer, the pants layer is flared where the underpants layer is skintight.

To round of the cloth layer bits you get gloves and socks, she got the leather effect down pretty good, really gives the dull speckled look of the real thing.

The boots are of a simple, and i don’t mean that in a bad way, design, clean is a better word i guess, they match the texture of the catsuit perfectly and have heels that a just a bit to high.

The posture color also has the same perfectly matched texture and the smart girl put in the open collar script, why do work if there is a perfect solution out there which you can use for free.

Good base outfit in nice bright colors, wait for the best in blue competition and you should win with one of these catsuits, no guarantee on that last one thought. *winks*

Purrfect 10 - Isabelle Boots

Deirdre
The Isabelle leather boots by Purrfect Ten are unique and clever in a number of ways.

When I opened my 10-pack (while I haven’t needed Aquamarine or Chartreuse boots too frequently, well it’s nice to have the option), I had a moment of worry as I saw every color except black.

It turns out black is the secondary texture for all the colored boots.

By selecting Textures, Main Boot, Secondary, I turned the lovely Crimson boots into lovely black boots.

The lace panel, heel and sole can get the same treatment, each separately.

“Colors” as opposed to textures, are applied to the laces and eyelets.

The boots took a bit of fitting, and I’ll give you my super duper secret trick for adjusting boots : wear only one, and adjust it, using your bare leg to guide you.

Then make the other boot match. This is based on entirely too much time spent fitting boots in SL... I’ll ask Think Kink to make a universal boot adjustment system, I think.

The Isabelle boots have a gorgeous leather texture, nicely visible in black or on the myriad of colors. The heel has an elegant shape, as does the foot.

One last challenge remains : finding them in her big store ;)

lelo
It’s been a while but this was one of those, “wow look at those boots! who made them?”

A quick inspect and an even quicker tp later we were standing in front of the longest walkway we have seen yet.

Ok when you want to buy something at Purrfect ten better bring some comfortable shoes, it’s quite a walk from the LZ to the store itself.

At least Ten was so kind to put a nice little resting area at the end of the long walkway to the store, talk about considerate.

It is a fashion store so better tune down the fetish wear, so you don’t scare the natives.

The boots are available in: Amethyst, Aquamarine, Chartreuse, Cream, Crimson (worn here), Fuschia, Magenta, SkyBlue, Violet, White and of course all can be made black.

If you want to keep informed about Ten’s latest releases check out the Purrfect 10 blog.

POC - Basic Catsuit EVO

Deirdre
Kai gave us a call, and suggested we run something not-quite-new. I was intrigued, and he explained - here’s the quote straight off his vendors :

“The basic catsuit was the first item *poc* put up for sale and the first thing I made. Over time I have learned a lot - and a lot of people have bought it. There are some flaws in it, that needed correcting and the result is the Latexsuit Evolution. It also comes with a different pricing model: Pay as you like. There is no fixed price to it.”

Included are all layers, even two different tattoo-versions, short gloves and socks. And also, there are a lot more colours than before, some of them new.”

Kai’s been in SL for four years.. so if he says he learned a lot and fixed bugs in the old catsuit, I’ll take his word - although lelo pretty much lives in her POC catsuit, and I never noticed anything that needed fixing.

See our third pic for the colors (and lelo’s list!), and drop by poc for a catsuit frenzy.

I know I don’t need to remind you about feeding starving artists, so give what you can, be it a little because you’re broke... or a lot because you’re grateful ;)

lelo
The master of deep shine latex has gone back to re-do his number one selling item, which was also one of the first items he made in SL.

Can’t imagine anyone complaining about it, but if he sees room for improvement who are we to disagree.

The shine is still as good as it always was, but now you get all the layers and two tattoo layers, one with and one with our feet and gloves.

As this is a catsuit and not a skin a hood isn't included.

Kai expanded the color range of the new catsuit to include: are you ready for this?

black, blood, blue, brown, chocolate, creme, cyan, darkgreen, gold, grey, green, gunmetal, lightblue, midnight, orange, pink, purple, red, rose, seagreen, skyblue, violet, white, wine and yellow.

It will be a challenge for the shoe and boot designers to make matching items for all these new colors.

Seems the word is already out as it was pretty busy in the store when we went to pick up our catsuits, so better run before SL runs out of pixels.. *winks*

Xaara - Where dreams Come True (Revisited)

On returning for last weeks sneak peak, I learned much more about Xaara, which in my opinion merited a further mention.

Not least of which was the most happy news that the area around Xaara stretches to 3 sims, all open to ponies, and in fact, with the exception of the small stable area outside the chateau, and the stable area in the chateau courtyard itself, the other 2 sims are almost totally designed with pony play in mind.

On landing at the landmark, you will find yourself in what can best be described as the town shopping area, with shops to the south and west of your landing position.

North finds a gondola and waterways, perfect for a non pony romantic gondola ride with your sweetie. Going east takes you to the main area with art studios and the, an really only describe it as an entertainment area, with rlv devices lad out in a “story of O” based concept.

Following the handy signs will lead you to the stable and chateau by heading south and then east and up the hill. Just walking to the chateau takes you past some well designed scenery and cuddle places, most of which are out of the way enough to maintain an air of privacy if desired.

The main stable are just north of the chateau, but entering the courtyard does find you with another indoor stable as well. Passing through and keeping south takes you back down a hill to a bridge over into the 2nd sim.

The sim crossings wasn't to painful on my early visits, even in full pony tack and while hitched to a cart, so with luck, that remains to be the case allowing for a more varied and interesting ride. Once in the “Deep Blue” sim, there is much to explore and fin,d including a beach area with great surf there too, dance balls tucked in the middle of a forest, and of course, the bridges to the 3rd sim to name just a few.

Best to follow the path south to the end, and then east to find the bridge to the next island. The third island has its own stable and pony area, cart rezzer and hitching posts, and lots of paths to explore.

Best described as a vacation resort, particularly with ponyplay and Story of O themes at the forefront, with vacation homes for short term rental, this Xaara, and neighbouring sims should keep many of you happy for some time.

Be sure to pay a visit soon. I am sure you will enjoy it.

Hugo's Design - Cat 3

Deirdre
Is there such a thing as too many catsuits? Not when your closet stretches to infinity ;)

This is version 3 of the Cat catsuit by Hugo’s Design. Like Cat 2, it’s a 50% transparent tint, but it’s a little more conservatively cut. A very little.

Fun new colors like blue and green are available - we ran the hard pink and red here.

The simple design of Cat 3 lends itself well to harnesses like Pris 2 or Suba 2.

As usual, little self-censorship hearts not included.


lelo
Well lets start with the big improvement between cat 2 and cat 3, more latex!!!

With this one only your naughty bits show.. all of them.. so better keep an eye on the sim rating when wearing this one.

You get a bag full of goodies as usual, offering you most cloth layer and of course the quick change tattoo layer.

There are a pair of pasties included but they don’t do much for the other bits sticking out.

There are two versions of the catsuit, one with seam and one with out, spread across all the layers.

By adding more layers you can get a solid colored catsuit, but the sticky out won’t be covered no matter how many layers you wear.

So if you aren’t shy and you want to show yourself to the world.... *smiles*

PoC - Miss Kim and Sylvia

Deirdre
Kai’s been busy lately, and we’ve been waiting for the right moment to spring his new designs on you unexpectedly like the Spanish Inquisition.

I’m modeling Miss Kim in white, and lelo’s outfit is called simply Sylvia. No, no Miss. ;)

Miss Kim is a very neat and versatile English Governess uniform, with a number of varied looks to the blouse : a high buttoned collar instead of the v-neck shown here, puffy upper (worn here) and lower sleeves, and lace cuffs.

( For you Victoriana fans, I looked for a good while to find the name of that look : “leg of mutton” sleeves. No, you’re welcome, my pleasure. )

The skirt is available in midi or ankle length; the latter suitable for standing in place and administering discipline with the cane to naughty schoolgirls and schoolboys ;)

The prims are excellent, and shiny; this is latex, after all. There are eight versions with colored blouses and contrasting skirt (red blouse + white skirt, or skyblue bouse and black skirt, for example)

Lelo also suggested this would be a good look for our ponycart rides, and I can’t fault her taste :)

It’s been a while since we did a post with the lovely deep shine of PoC’s latex, so it was high time.

I’m wearing the dark red blood, which next to the black is my favorite color from PoC, ohh don’t forget the pink and the polka dots...hmm no more coffee for lelo *winks*

With Sylvia you get 19 pieces in all, offering you ultra mini, a mini and ¾ pants, in underwear and pants layer.

The mini comes with a prim insert which had one of the most elaborated settings menus i’ve seen to date. The ultra mini is so ultra you don’t need a prim insert, just a pair of warm panties.

The top comes in 4 versions, halterneck, single shoulder, tubetop and tank top, all of them in all three cloth layers.

The mix of latex with the lovely lace is impossible in RL but works great in SL.

And the Miss Kim dress, well there is only one thing you can say to someone in a dress like that: “Yes Mistress” *smiles*
