Karu Karu Maxine and Firestorm 4.4.1

Deirdre:

I caught Chane Karu online this week and we had a fun yak - to me that’s the top perk of the blog, staying in touch with the makers and the shakers in SL.

We discussed Lolas! Tango implants, and how they seem to have won the race; I confirmed that we see do many designers creating appliers for them.

Chane got into them too, and this weekend’s 99L$ discount has the Tango appliers included.

Don’t wait!

---

The Firestorm installation was fairly painless, as I said recently. That’s a good thing, because the team just released version 4.4.1.

Sigh ;)

The good news is that it fixes a bunch of stuff.

Don’t forget to do a clean install, and do use the Backup feature to save your settings if you love them ;)

Your logs are not included in the settings backup - you'll want to backup those manually.

Be kind to the volunteers in the support group, they’re about to be swamped by tens of thousands of new users (as Phoenix becomes unusable soon) and upgraders (as old Firestorm versions suffer the same fate).

Read the full news here: http://www.firestormviewer.org/firestorm-4-4-1-34164-release/

and have a great weekend!

Elixir - HEXBlade Rubber Suit

Deirdre:

Do they hold by static cling? Quantum uncertainty? Force of personality? In any case, the cool (shiny!) hex tiles make the HEXBlade Rubber Suit look futuristic and wild.

Of course, the suit is pretty much a pair of sleeves and leggings - hey, spaceships have climate control, right?

Kidding aside, when I see a suit like that, I like to see a closed version included.

If you want to wear the tiles close to your body - and I’m not saying that’s necessary - you’ll want to set a bit of time aside on a good pose stand.

The tiles are mesh, so full mod, resize and tint. Backup before fiddling ;)

lelo:
Something new and futuristic from Khorus at Elixir tonight, the HEXBlade rubber suit.

The outfit consists of thick rubber legging and a undertop also in thick black rubber and a whole lot of blue hex tiles in prim form.

There are tiles for the thighs, underarms, shoulders, neck and breasts, you also get a pair of rubber panties with tiles on them.

There are 4 sizes for the breast covers for small, medium, large or lolas though some fitting is required. Also note that cover is not to be taken literally.

The hex tiles have a resize script but the best way of fully fitting them would be to move each separate tile into the right position, a bit of a job but perfection takes time.

Places - Heavy Bondage Club

A quickie tonight - we didn’t devote as much time to shopping recently as we usually do, between RL, SL10B, and poor configuration of the stars in the astrological houses.

But lelo did manage to discover a cool bondage hangout we didn’t know, and traffic says it’s quite popular.

We spent a bit of time doing S&M, as one of my friends used to say - stand and model, my little joke about visiting hangouts to chat privately with lelo and people-watch.

We saw some famous designers who are themselves bondage bunnies. Name-dropping is so tacky, isn’t it? We’ll just say these are people our regular readers know and leave it there.

The spur-of-the-moment visit produced what these things often will; none of the staff was available for comment, but we’ll be sure to get in touch and give you a bit more about the place; for now, you know it’s there, and that we like it.

What more do you need, really? ;)

Oh, right, the SLURL:

Karu Karu - Lindsay and Brooke

Deirdre:

Last of the massive new release we got from Chane last month, I have Lindsay and lelo has Brooke.

We ran into a few Firestorm “features” on our first photo shoot in the new viewer. Lights have a lot more “ooomph” in FS than they had in Phoenix. A *lot*.

I had to turn off my face lights, move back our studio lamps.. and I’m still not 100% satisfied.

Keep this in mind when you examine the pics, ok? Chane didn’t change her colors, it’s us.

The Lindsay cutouts and transparent latex underneath combo looks really good. At first glance it looks like a body, but no, wait, that’s connected to the pants in a chaps kind of look. Love it.

Lindsay comes with closed and open version of the pants, shirt layer top, and shoulder gloves.

Do drop by the store and see the latest release, a skimpy number called Buckle Strap Combo 3, which Chane describes as “kinda like a buckle strap bikini, almost” ;)

lelo:
Latex, belts and artful cutouts, that can only be Karu Karu.

I’m wearing Brooke here, which comes in black, blue, pink, powder blue, purple, red, ruby and white.

The Brooke catsuit comes in shirt and pants layer and matching gloves are included to complete the outfit.

As before you’ll get a smoky transparent catsuit in underwear layer that can be worn alone or as an extra accent to the main suit.

Make sure you visit Chane’s store on a regular bases as she changes her special offers from time to time and you don’t want to miss one.

We Finally Moved To Firestorm

Deirdre:

After careful backups and not a little worry, I removed Phoenix from my pc and installed Firestorm today. Clean install, as recommended, with no trace of the previous software remaining.

To cut straight to the chase, the news is all good.

Everything’s working, and unexpectedly, Firestorm needs a lot less juice to run than Phoenix ever did.

I didn’t even use the Phoenix compatibility mode, just dove right in. The Starlight Silver Blue skin is a joy to see, and being able to set inactive windows at 100% opacity is a big thing for me. You’ll find that one in Colors, Floating Window Opacity, Inactive.

(Seriously, who sat there and thought “Let’s make the inactive window just transparent enough to be inconvenient to read but not transparent enough to see what’s behind” ?)

The “Add alpha” thing is probably going to be worth the price of admission, I’m looking forward to using that.

In the “bad things I was worrying about that didn’t materialize” series, repopulating my inv took a *lot* less time than it did in Phoenix.

One setting you’ll want to turn on if you’re like me is “Show toasts in front of other windows”, in Preferences, User Interface, Toasts.

“Toast” is apparently the name for a pop-up window; in the case that bothered me, one that has a yes-no-ignore set of buttons. It went behind my Inventory window, which is not the behavior I want from a popup ;) Lelo figured it out quickly, so all is well.

What else? I had to change Chat, General, Pressing letter keys: to “Affects movement” rather than “Starts local chat”, the default, which is not properly speaking an insane setting, but just not the one I’m used to.

I think I’m fairly representative of the hold-out fringe that was still running a V1 style viewer, so the smooth transition to Firestorm should be good news to the others.

The Firestorm blog reports some 60,000 of us still using Phoenix recently; a non-trivial figure which I had unconsciously assumed to be much, much lower.

lelo:
The end must be near, has anyone seen 4 old guys on horseback going by? Did it rain frogs? Locusts anyone?

It finally happened: Mistress waved goodbye to Phoenix and stepped over to Firestorm.

I was running Firestorm already on my notebook, couldn’t find a Phoenix installer after my last reinstall, i’m not a thrill seeker or beta tester when it comes to software.

And have done the move to Firestorm a week ago, and after i reported to Mistress that the water is fine, she jumped in with me. *winks*

Turns out Mistress is a lot more observant than me when it comes to software.

Where i mumble a bit about the stand button that has been moved to the movement controls, Mistress is noticing a more fisheye look to the world or a lower processor load.

Shows you who is the software connoisseur of the two of us. *smiles*

So all is well, even if we’ll be busy finding lost buttons and hidden pop ups for a few weeks to come, the simple fact that we can add alpha’s and that mesh is fully supported is well worth the move.

Next, server side baking, hopefully group chat and an end to lag (or is that too much to ask). *winks*

SL10B and the future

This year’s theme at SL10B is “Looking forward, looking back.” (It says so right here : http://slcommunitycelebration.com/theme/ )

One’s distinctly easier than the other, despite Lewis Carrol’s statement in Alice “It’s a poor sort of memory that only works backwards,”

Where SL came from is fascinating enough; historians can give us good details of names and numbers, and perhaps even explain current things in the light of past facts.

But where we’re going... ahh, that one is tricky. Will Second Life go on and grow? Will it close like City of Heroes? 

Will Second Life change? It seems to me the older I get, the more change is bad, change is difficult, and change hurts.

Oh, I’m lucky enough to be exposed to enough of it that I only scream a bit, then carry on. But I’m certainly sympathetic to the point of view that all change is not automatically progress.

Mesh, server-side baking, materials processing - those are technical advancements, and it’s hard not to call them progress. But I know more than one designer who is staunchly waiting for the advent of parametric deform before releasing mesh.

It’s entirely possible that they’re missing a very huge boat and risk being left behind; everyone’s releasing mesh items, which fit more or less well.. while people like Kat and Dari are pushing the limits and dragging everyone along.

I picked two exhibits at SL10B that seemed to me to mean that the artist projected SL in reality. They struck a chord with me - as I think good art will - and made me reflect.

I remembered the first time I went out in a crowd and wished for a way to throw my point of view up like the camera in SL - which requires a helicopter and a Louma crane in RL films, let alone normal vision.

SL will change, and SL is changing us. Mostly for the good, with any luck.

Have a great weekend!

Deirdre and lelo

dollle - Front Zip Leather Outfit - Black

Deirdre:

Our good friend Mel Melville found this lovely leather dress - she heard about it from a friend too - word-of-mouth power!

As we sometimes do, I invited Mel to the studio and had a nice time going through the hundreds of Glitterati poses in our stands. We settled on this one but a few other candidates were close.

Mel’s a grande dame of the pony scene in Second Life, and she always looks amazing - as often in leather as I am.

While I’m often in a few favorites, she’s usually wearing something new and tasteful whenever we see her, and this isn’t the first excellent tip she sends our way.

Regular readers may remember that Mel built Dari’s current store. I threw them together - GSF #4, all my friends should be friends ;) It worked out, as Mel’s a great builder and Dari wanted something clean and simple.

What, the dress? Oh yes, it’s very nice. I’ll let lelo tell you about it ;)

lelo:
Some lovely leather mesh tonight in the form of a dress by CrystalDoll Lemon at {dollle*}, and yes that’s a new one in our tags, minus the special characters.

It’s a miracle that we still manage to find new stores after all this time, though in this case it’s a vanilla store venturing into fetishy clothing.

The dress is of a simple design but has a very smart feature, the sleeves are separate so you get two dresses for the price of one.

This is a mesh dress with all the usual mesh problems, it’s made for a bigger chest than most mesh dresses, though just a bit too small for my normal girls.

But it was nice to let the girls grow to at least a good part of their usual size, a demo is available, so check before you buy.

The dress is available in red, brown, blue and black, and a fatpack is available at a good discount.

CorinS - Chella Latex Skirt

Deirdre:

Hikari called us a few weeks back, and mentioned Corin had redone her store. I took good note, and we swung by tonight to have a look.

Sure enough, Corin’s is new and improved, with a nice big lobby (with cash registers!) and lucky chairs for group members.

A handsome poster pointing to a certain blog is visible in a good spot - always cheers me up to see my smiling face, even if not exactly on the cover of Rolling Stone.

While wandering around the store, we found one of those flouncy little prim skirts lelo loves, and I agreed the shine was good so I got her a couple.

It’s more detailed than most, featuring a nice belt and scalloped bottom. The price for that is the unavoidable transparency bug; but it’s not bad enough to ruin the look of the skirt.

We spoke to Corin a few months back, and she was hoping to release new designs soon, RL permitting. We’ll keep you posted!

lelo:
OK, sure these aren’t mesh, they don’t have elaborate locking scripts, they don’t glow in the dark, but i can’t help but love looking at my own rear when i walk around in a skirt like this.

Mistress already calls these lelo skirts and i really don’t mind, i guess i’m a bit of a old fashioned girl.

The skirt comes in 3 color options, black/grey, red/black and white/black, we don’t show the white version because it wouldn’t show in our studio.

The skirt has a nice little resizing script, so it does have one thing up on those mesh skirts, the second would be how it flows when you walk around.

This skirts are a great addition to any latex outfit, just be sure to look for the right color match, the red is pretty dark.

Lady Annes Latex Emporium - Leather Grrrl and Once Upon A Time

Deirdre:

I’m wearing a summer leather outfit tonight - well, under the leather jacket. This is Leather Grrrl by Lady Anne.

Without the jacket, the look is sort of Princess of Mars: lots of chains and leather trappings. The central O ring is fun, and the “collar” jewel (clothes layer) is pretty striking.

While a bit bulky, the jacket has good leather textures, and looks a bit like current quilted leather fashions.

As usual, Anne is generous with prim accessories: I have a belt, a crop, a no-slip leash holder - aside from the obvious boots, cap and mirror shades, of course.

If you don’t want to fight the hat and hair battle, some tattoo layer hair bases are included.

Leather Grrrl is a good, inexpensive outfit that will turn heads in any dungeon.

lelo:
It doesn’t happen often but i’m wearing more than Mistress for this one, when Mistress saw leather she just had to wear it. *winks*

Once Upon A Time is part of Lady Anne’s Masquerade collection and is, as you might expect, a collection of parts made into a great looking and low priced outfit.

Base of the outfit is a black catsuit with a zipper and a nice chest cut out, giving you a nice bit of cleavage without being slutty.

A shiny latex train and cloak give the outfit a royal look and the shiny tiara strengthens that feeling.

The mesh gauntlets, here hidden behind my back, make the outfit heavy handed. *smiles*

You will also find some cyber ear muffs, a posture collar and the boots i’m wearing here.

So, just add the blond girl and you can rule the winter sims of SL.

SL10B : It Has Begun!

I can’t hear that without thinking of Mortal Kombat  (yes, I’m a child of the eighties).

Fortunately, SL10B is a little more peaceful, no spandex-clad ninjas will pounce on you, and there is a lot of really amazing stuff to see.

We were there yesterday for the opening, which was a bit more quiet than last year's. No keynote address, just a simple raising of the flags - in multiple locations, a smart move to spread the lag.

The exhibit lelo and I like best so far is the History Walk. Some excellent research and summarizing went into it, and it still works out to some twenty “slides”, set on large posters and surrounded with period items. It's here : http://slurl.com/secondlife/SL10B%20Beguile/157/106/22

And a good link I want to give you is about the pod system. If you want to sit and watch the fairgrounds go by, these cool little automatic gliding chairs are for you.

Linsey Carter covered them on her blog : http://inspiredcreativitystudio.blogspot.com/2013/06/want-to-see-sl10b-hop-on-pod.html

Normal fetish content resumes soon ;)

SL10B Reaches Out To Other Celebrations

Deirdre:

Only two days until the opening of SL10B - Sunday June 16th!

Lelo and I took the press tour, given by the indefatigable Saffia Widdershins :)

We saw some amazing things, most of which I'll tell you about soon, but right now the most important one is the Connections Board.

This is where other events, including adult ones, will be listed at SL10B.
Here's the SLURL:
http://slurl.com/secondlife/SL10B%20Wonderous/86/97/22

And here’s the post that went up yesterday on the SLCC blog:

With two days to go before the event begins, there isn’t a second to lose.

If you know an event organizer, please send them this post ASAP and tell them to get in touch with Honour McMillan to be listed on the Connections Board.

Have a great weekend and see you at SL10B Sunday!

Vendom - My Succubi Valentine

Deirdre:

A cool tip from Pantyhose Slavicz, one of our regular readers and tipsters, brought us back to Vendom after quite some years - our last post was in August 2009!

Vendalia is still around, I was pleased to discover, and still cranking out her unique brand of demonic outfits.

My Succubi Valentine is a little more subdued than some other Vendom outfits, but it has that same mix of sexy and scary we liked then and like now.

Wearing the included shape makes everything fall into place easily, from fangs to fingernails. You’ll just need hair and skin. Lelo didn’t even need to use it; seems my love is succubus-shaped ;)

I noticed a vendor full of video game girls cosplay avatars when I visited the store; if Cammi, Chun Li and other popular characters are your thing, they’re in the second vendor once you’re up the stairs.

lelo:
Ok, Valentine is a while back but we just had to show you this outfit from Vendalia at Vendom.

Though calling it an outfit might be a bit weak as this is one packed folder, giving you 35 items in all.

You get 5 clothes items which don’t hide very much, the mesh corset comes in 5 sizes and has 3 different alphas so it should fit most.

You also get a pair of cool-looking shoes in the package, these would cost you a fair penny when bought separately.

A lovely collection of skulled cuffs and wings give the outfit the right demonic feel.

There are even green eyes, fangs, nails and prim lashes included with the outfit, as well as a petite demon shape.

Finally you will find appliers for eboobs, Lolas and universal making for that busty look most of you seem to enjoy. *smiles*

Valentine day or not, this is a great looking outfit, remove the fangs, wings and cuffs and you’ll have an outfit that will even work in sunlight. *winks*

Kcreations - Peplum Dress

Deirdre:

The Kcreations Peplum Dress has arrived! Kat’s been working on it for a good while, and I kept an eye on the developments in her blog.
reations

Kat worries her names aren’t original enough, but eh. If confusion ever sets in, call me and I’ll set you straight. (The Dragon Dress? That’s the one with a dragon printed on it. The Peplum Dress? Yeah, there you go, you got it.)

Peplums are making a comeback, and Kat mentioned that she was interested in creating things that weren’t “... entirely kinky and maybe just a bit fashionable”, as she put it.

Well I loved peplums in the eighties (anyone remember Carushka, or is it just me?) and I love them now.

The shirt collar is tintable, down to the buttons. I don’t hate it, but the dress would be more versatile if it was hideable like the skirt.

The texture is amazing already; Kat’s creations should be just mind-blowing when materials processing arrives.

lelo:
Kat’s been busy again and came up with a new mesh dress, sporting her lovely leather texture.

The dress comes in 5 sizes and should fit most without the use of the included alpha for the waist.

The fun part with this dress is the included HUD which lets you control the colors of the separate parts of the dress.

You get 33 preset colors and there is a tint picker so you can make your own colors.

The HUD also controls the shine of the texture and makes it possible for you to hide the skirt part so you can wear the top with some pants.

Fashionable leather multi colored dress with a great fit... you still here??? *winks*

SL10B: No Adult Content Please, We're Virtual

Deirdre:

Call me nosy, snoopy, curious, whatever; I wanted to know where the decision to have no adult content at SLB came from.

It’s not like I don’t understand it. There are people in Second Life who are not adults, and restricting the celebration by age would be worse.

Saffia Widdershins and Doctor Gascoigne (both volunteers, Doc from way back) answered my questions patiently: the sims are G, and there it ends.

Doc made it clear that everyone is welcome at SL10B, as they aim to be inclusive. In fact, lelo and I, fetish fashion and BDSM bloggers, are in the press group.

Clearly, we’re expected to act in G-friendly manner when we visit; no hardship, “freaking the mundanes” was never my thing.

There were indications that other, adult celebrations would be pointed to; I’m trying to nail that down but without success so far.

I’ll keep you posted ;)

Catch It - Nora

Deirdre:

Hot off the latex press at Catch It is the Nora mesh dress. Cool eye-catching geometric designs and tints, and a corset-like arrangement of slender belts give this new release a unique look.

The knee length skirt and long sleeves are a natural progression from previous Catch It mesh, and while we have nothing against peek-a-boo stuff, I’m pretty happy to see a full-coverage dress.

Nora came out Sunday, and we really wanted to feature it tonight for a simple reason: it’s on sale until Wednesday 3PM SL time for 290L$; after that, it goes up to 390L$.

See what we do for you guys? :)

So that’s 46-ish hours from publish time, not that long - this is kind of a built-in reward for our regular readers.

Ah, and Pad finally put the adorable little Catchi bear up for sale: 0L$, at the right side as you go into the store. He’s my little latex shoulder bear; he doesn’t say much but he’s red and shiny :)

lelo:
Lovely latex dress tonight, coming from Pad at Catch It, it’s all shiny, meshy and belty, all the y’s we love. *smiles*

A dress that covers your body, this has been a while, the belts give the mid sections some extra interest.

Those belts can be fine tuned, color wise, shine wise and texture wise, these changes are small though.

The dress comes in 4 sizes and you can try them on for size in the shop, i’m wearing a small for a change where Mistress is in a medium, go figure.

The dress is available in black, blood, blue, brown, green, orange, pink, purple red and white.

So if you need a slinky dress that covers your bum, here’s the one you need.

Materials Will Be Hot

Steph Catseye, of DeVicious, sent us a very cool little demo video featuring the coming materials processing voodoo.

One more thing I know little about and will watch designers fiddle with and applaud, I suppose.

While we all love the shiny new bits getting added in SL, I still think making sure a private three-person chat works reliably would be a really good thing to put manpower on ;)

Have a great weekend,

Deirdre and lelo

Graves - Fusion

Deirdre:

Hikari called me from Graves and tipped me to Fusion. She does more shopping than we do, and if she ever starts a blog, she’ll blow us out of the water on new releases :)

Between the heavy collar, harness, and delicate bondage strap across the nose, I figured lelo was the model tonight.

Fusion has some of the great Graves elements we love, including hex-grid space-style textures, straps and clips and prim bits everywhere, and the famous midnight black on black bits.

The outfit is available in red, grey and purple. The harness is rigged mesh, and will fit standard-proportion avatars best. Lelo’s wasp waist didn’t play well with even the smallest size. The cost of having mesh now - I still say better now than eventually when parametric deform arrives from heaven ;)

So if your spaceship slavegirl needs a new outfit, look no further.

lelo:
Graves tonight and guess who got lucky and got to wear the outfit... ME!!! *winks*

Fusion is a combination of prims, mesh and cloth layer, and yes that means lots of her patented hex latex.

The harness is mesh and comes in 2 versions, with and without crotch strap, and 6 sizes, i’m wearing the XS here so better try her demos before you buy.

All the cloth layers are included in the kit, even the tattoo layer we love so much. There are 3 colors available; grey, purple and the red i’m wearing here.

The colors are sold separately or in a nicely priced megapack... always go for the mega pack you never know when the next “best in grey” competition is running in your favorite club.

Jackie also throws in 10 prim buckles that attach all over your harness, making it much more interesting looking.

The top part of the harness is a big posture collar that has a resize script for easy fitting.

Final part is a nose bandage, which i don’t really get, but it works with the outfit.

Glitterati Closes - SLFF Post 1200

Regular readers will have noticed that we use a lot of different poses for our daily pictures. For years we’ve been buying them by the hundreds at Glitterati.

Sadly, the popular pose shop is closing. Katey cites personal reasons in her note, and while it’s likely she’ll keep making things in the future, they’ll be sold exclusively on Marketplace.

If you enjoy the poses - and our blog is pretty much a Glitterati Model Poses catalog - the good news is that they’re on sale until the end of the month.

We just swung by and picked up every model pose pack we didn’t have, so look forward to seeing them in the blog soon.

Goodbye Katey, and best of luck in your new life.

The SLURL: http://slurl.com/secondlife/Kateyland/89/129/29

Another milestone for our little endeavour, our 1200th post tonight, and we are still not bored of it. With it being a daily the numbers creep up steadily and the feedback we get from our readers keep us going. No big party this time around, we’ll just snuggle a bit longer after posting this one. Ohh, and when you see us in world, do say hi, we love hearing from our readers.

Karu Karu - Carmen and Monique

Deirdre:

Chane released a bunch of great new outfits - we have them sitting here and we’ll show them a few at a time so we don’t swamp you, ok? ;)

I’m wearing the laced top Carmen outfit tonight, with Jenna boots. The laces on the top are not crooked like many others you see, which makes me guess that Chane actually corrected for the chest shape.

A basic shirt-pants-gloves outfit, Carmen is not impossible to coordinate with other things, but is a lot easier to mix and match with other Karu Karu outfits.

The Jenna boots are available in all Karu colors, but you may wish to go with black ones on some colors - I thought yellow boots made it a little too “Kill Bill” ;)

The current 99L$ discount is the Zip Suit in Ruby, a striking color when it’s allowed enough coverage. I’ll say hurry and go snap it up before it’s gone :)

lelo:
Some good old fashioned shiny latex tonight, this time from Chane at Karu Karu, so prepare for lots of belts and laces. *smiles*

I’m wearing the Monique outfit, for which there are some lolas appliers available which we won’t keep from you, my poor old back.

The underwear layers give you a lovely smoky transparent catsuit, the upper layer gives you the lovely outfit you see in the picture.

I’m also wearing the Brenda boots, which, just like Monique, are available in all the lovely Karu Karu colors and they match the outfit perfectly.

Only little down side of the boots is that they are tiny when you first rezz them, but a smart little resizer takes care of that problem in seconds.

So lovely shiny latex that stands out from the crowd, in lots of fashionable colors with matching boots and Lolas appliers... what’s not to love.

Ohh and keep an eye on her discounts... only thing better than latex is cheap latex. *winks*

Lolas! - Boudoir

Deirdre:

The Boudoir corset from Lolas! is brand new, released just last Friday. (There was momentary confusion when I mixed it up with the previous model, Alcatraz. Sorry!)

This is a very good looking mesh corset, which will provide excellent back support for the trademark Lolas! breasts included.

To be clear, this is a separate product from the Tango implants. You don’t need to buy Tangos to wear the Boudoir corset, and you can’t wear the included breasts without the corset - this is a package.

The included note states that Tango skin appliers will work with Boudoir, however. No need to match skins twice!

A quick test shows that clothes appliers don’t work, though. So lelo couldn’t have worn her trademark latex catsuit under the corset with the Tango appliers.

This is not an inexpensive item if you want all the colors, but if your special someone likes that look, I say go for it :)

Don’t you just hate it when your girls and your corset don’t play nicely together, well the designers at Lolas! have solved that problem.

Introducing the new Boudoir corset/breasts combo, giving you that great “will they stay in” look. *winks*

The mesh combo looks great but you might need a bit of adjusting to fit into them just right.

There are 3 color packs that let you change the colors of your corset in hip colors to match your favorite outfit.

I went with two options from the bubblegum pack, pretty colors. *smiles*

Be warned the corset and breast are a combo that can’t be split up so for your private meetings you’ll need the real Lolas.
