Violet Studios - Prey Mesh Boots

Deirdre:

The Prey boots are an intricate system, available in leather and latex, in four different shapes with three different addons, and a color HUD to manage the whole thing.

The leg and foot shapes are unique - you’ll need to have a good look and see if you like them.

Hemi addressed fetish, fashion and pony; no reason for anyone to go barefoot ;)

This is a valiant first effort in mesh; I’m sure that things will improve with time, as they did with prim shoes and other things. (Remember freebie bling sandals from 2006? They looked just fine to us back then, didn’t they?)

The front straps are awesome, I have to give props for that; it’s the first set of optional addons for boots I see. (Firefox says hi!)

There’s really a lot of material in the boxes, you’ll want to make folders to help see through the jungle of versions.

I’ll reveal one of my little tricks to deal with big kits : I make a folder called Wear This, and put in there the right sizes, shapes, or whatever composes the outfit I will actually wear.

Sure, I could throw out the XL sizes.. but I’ll admit I’m a bit of a pack rat ;)

lelo:
Another designer has joined the ranks of the mesh designers and Hemi went big with 4 versions.

The boots are called Ovio (the chunky heeled), Raptor (the ballets), Dyno (the pony boots) and Velo (the stiletto heeled one).

Sold separately from these are the back laces, back zipper and front buckles, these will fit all the boots and as they are copy you only need to buy the one you like once.

The HUD gives you control over the highlight color, the texture color and the shine.

And this for the laces, the boots, the metal parts and the sole separately, beware Hemi has her own special colors, so better get her catsuits if you want a good match.

Ahh and as the boots are copy, be smart and make back up copies before you start playing around with them.

Dare Designs - Stingray

Deirdre:

Stingray by Dare Designs is a reader tip by Shamanu Resident. Thank you very much, Shamanu, those are always welcome!

It’s also a pretty awesome latex outfit ;) It says nine pieces on the box but you have to look at our third pic to get an idea of how much variety that offers.

First thing I noticed was that panties were on pants layer (and vice versa), same with bra and shirt. Aha, I thought - superhero wear!

In fact Stingray does look good with things inside-out: they add nice detail to the catsuit.

Not that it’s a plain affair without the extras; the fun straps (reprised on the corset) and excellent folds and variation in shine make this one of the more interesting catsuits we’ve seen in a while.

(In case you noticed the height variations between pictures, we have spinning stands and a pose from the front and one from the rear move enough to change things up quite a bit.)

It turns out that Dare was himself a reader of our modest literary effort; no doubt he was going to call and say hi any day ;)

lelo:
Ok we got another multipurpose outfit for you tonight and another new designer for our list.

You get 8 clothes layer parts which can be put together to make all kind of outfits.

These varying from a simple bikini to a full catsuit with a black corset, you can see the options in the last picture.

The boots are included in the set as well and seem to be in male size, but the resize script takes care of that in seconds.

You can get this lovely catsuit in 13 bright colors and better sit down for this, there is no black one!!!

So looking for a brightly colored outfit that gives you lots of great options and comes with some fun fetish boots... well you know the drill. *winks*

Pietas Obscurum - Mesharah v2

Today’s post will be short-ish, even for a Friday.

Lelo is traveling to exotic, distant lands, and although my dear sweetie is keeping in touch, let’s say it’s not as convenient as usual to work on the blog together.

Awesomely entertaining and informative blog post services will resume on Monday :)

Pietas Obscurum released a great update to their Mesharah mesh thigh boots, “Including a brand new hud and six, yes 6, texture colors of incredible detail. You will be able to mix and match as well as retexture various parts of the boots.”, as the note says.

The new colors are pink, red, purple, white, red and blue. “You will be able to mix and match as well as retexture various parts of the boots.”

Yes, press releases are a lot less work ;)

Have a great weekend,

Deirdre and lelo

Kcreations - New Latex Freebies

Deirdre:
Our good friend Mel Melville tipped us to this nice surprise : new freebie latex catsuits from Kcreations.

Kat apparently has the workaholic bug, and so not only are there two new free latex outfits, complete with boots (the red and black I am modeling), but there is also a new series, modeled by lelo.

Kat is rarely in-world at the same time we are, or I would have asked her for a bit of info about the new outfits.

It says in the name that they are Adult Hub Freebies; I think it’s pretty awesome on her part to put them where they have a good chance of helping a new resident get her wardrobe started, as she did for me, all those years ago ;)

This is high quality work, not a quick-and-dirty cheapie. Prim collar, boots, gloves, and two layers for both top and bottom. The shine is just amazing - the red looks like a candy apple.

You could pay hundreds in another store and get much less.

Do visit Kat’s store at The Boobies (not the mall's real name) and support her so she keeps creating gorgeous latex and leather for new and old residents - don’t you need new mesh thigh high pony boots? ;)

lelo:
You would think putting great looking freebies is a lovely gesture and certainly a traffic builder, but when you keep updating them, well then you really like your customers or need a hobby. *winks*

Introducing V3 of the free Kcreations catsuits, we missed the V2, so i’ll compare to the original version.

You now get black, blue, dark blue (shown here), dark purple, dark red, purple (also shown here), red and white. So a color for every occasion.

But the big news it that you now get two tattoo layer hoods in the package, an open faced, showing your own face, and the one i’m wearing in the picture, still showing your own face, just a bit less of it. *smiles*

Next to the tattoo layer hoods you get every layer except for the jacket layer of each color.

She also worked on the shine, which has a nice dullish glow to it, very realistic.

So it’s official best looking free catsuits are available in the big boobies mall as we call it.

Kayliwulf Kingdom - Wet n Sticky Mist

Deirdre:
A fun new translucent outfit from Kayliwulf, this is Wet N Sticky Mist - looks like Laz is out of hibernation! :)

When lelo first tried on Mist, it was in the afternoon sun, and she turned bright white like a ghostly apparition; pretty disconcerting!

She faded into view when I switched to midday lighting... which reminded me that mad dogs and Englishmen go out in the midday sun ;)

So. A very good transparent white texture, makes you wonder why you don’t see more latex of that color in RL.

Kayliwulf Kingdom are pretty active lately with Midnight Madness events.. drop by the sim and click the board, with a bit of luck you’ll have a nice surprise in your inventory the next morning.

lelo:
Well Mist is a good name for this one, it only shows up in full daylight. *winks*

 It’s the first ensemble featuring the new gloves and shoes we featured a few weeks ago.

The base of the ensemble is a white bathing suit, under which you can wear a lovely see-through catsuit, which comes with tattoo layer hood.

You get an implant applier for both versions, did i ever tell you how easy these appliers work? Everything in life should be this simple.

Just so you can see how good they look, i brushed off my good old implants, hope you enjoy them.

Laz kindly includes V1 and V2 versions of the boots in the package, so they will even work for the last V1 dinosaurs out there, we still love you though *smiles*

All the straps, legs, arms and neck, are included as separate prims, so decide if you want them in your look.

So fun base outfit, that should light up even the darkest dungeon, just don’t wear it on the streets in a London fog.

Rosal - Viron-M Thigh Boots

Deirdre:

We’ve been sitting on these for a few days - Tsarina sent them over before they were in the store. We managed not to explode ;)

These gorgeous, extremely well designed mesh boots are the Viron-M (for Mesh) boots. Lelo is modeling the matching (but not included) Viron corset and neck corset.

First, the gorgeous foot shape Tsarina created in the Tueur and other sculpted boots is recreated here in mesh - quite a bit of work, I believe, but she’s a pro :)

Lelo went for the Tron look but I chose a more muted use of the highlight lines - still looks suitably space-ey to me.

The boots are available in one color only, or in a fatpack (which means the included script lets you change the whole boot color).

The one thing which took me a moment to find was “Glow Motion”, because I was already inside the “Appearance” top menu... it’s also at the top.

The boots are copy, so make a safe one and start fiddling! Once you’ve set them to your taste, you can delete the script, so sim owners will love you.

Gorgeous boots, equal to the very high standard we’ve come to expect from Rosal. These are going next to my Bax in my wardrobe :)

lelo:

These are Tsarina’s first mesh boots and they look great and it’s amazing to see how you can play around with the colors of the boots.

As the boots are mesh you can’t click them, so accessing the menu is done the good old fashioned way: “/2boots”. *winks*

In this menu you can choose the 3 main color schemes: black, red and white, matching the Viron corsets.

You can use the supplied HUD to change the tint of all the different parts of the boots.

There are no limits to the colors you can make, just be careful and make a backup copy first.

Just in case you are worried she hasn’t got your size, there are free demo boots in the shop so you can check before buying.

Indyra Originals - Discipline Boots and Booties

Deirdre:

Another incursion in the world of fashion: with a name like Discipline Boots, it was unavoidable - fated! ;)

The Discipline boots caught my eye when we were at the store some time ago, and I made a mental note to feature them at some point.

They’re a loose-fit fashion boot, with seven buckle straps on the knee-high version.

The standard resize script included has a smart twist; when you’ve fitted your boots, it offers to take a copy of the boots and remove the script. Low script is the ecological movement of Second Life :)

The ankle boots and knee boots are different in a few ways; there are no invisiprims on my knee-highs, and an alpha mask was included. Lelo’s booties included a plain and bright version; the bright are quite a sight in midnight lighting ;)

The foot shape is excellent and the textures are great. There’s quite a lot to like here, so if you’re looking for a bit of variety from your usual fetish boots, keep Indyra’s in mind.

lelo:
Ok don’t be fooled by the name, the discipline is because of the buckles, not that they can be locked or any fun like that, those silly fashion designers. *winks*

The boots come with a good resizer script, one you will need, i’m not a small girl but i had to shrink the boots quite a bit.

Indyra sells the boots in the following colors: saddle, white, cherry, dark red (which Mistress is wearing), indy pink (which i’m wearing in the bright, glow in the night, version), noir, soft gold, and magenta.

The booties come without an alpha sock so i used one from my other shoes, how did we ever do without the alphas.

Lovely heel, good looking shape, great buckles, fashionable colors.. still here?

Kayliwulf Kingdom - Cliffhanger

Deirdre:

A nice new release from Kayliwulf, this full outfit is called Cliffhanger.

It features the slashes we loved in Slash and Burn in an underwear layer-only catsuit.

It’s smart and simple, but I have to say I’m getting used to one-piece tattoo layer outfits.

Tons of Kayliwulf’s signature straps are included, on boots, gloves, even as a belt and collar. No resize scripts in the belts but they’re easy enough to fix manually.

I think I’ll call my local latex guy and give him this design. Slashes in latex should look really spectacular in RL, but I expect it’ll take some work to prevent explosive tearing.

lelo:
Ok so the catsuit isn’t quite new but that’s not what cliffhanger is all about, it’s about the boots and the gloves.

The boots are a new style, with sky-high heels and platforms and the big buckles Laz seems to love.

Both the boots and the gloves are sold separately in all 45 Kayliwulf colors including the 3 un-demo colors.

For those of you who forgot about the un-demo’s this are cheap versions of the boots without the usual demo tags.

You also get the universal implant appliers for you big breasted girls and Laz assures us that the rubber won't tear under the stress of the biggest implant. *winks*

Lady Anne's Latex Emporium - Ministry of Pleasure and MOP Commandant

Deirdre:

Ve haff vays.. to make you enjoy yourself ;)

This is the last of the fetish uniforms we got from Lady Anne. Lelo has Ministry of Pleasure, and I have Ministry of Pleasure Commandant.

MOP (for short) Commandant is a complete outfit, which includes my beloved officer’s cap; in fact when Lady Anne came over for a chat, I pulled out my collection to show her, and we found that quite a few were based on the same excellent sculpt.

It’s quite neat to see how every designer adds textures, insignia, and really personalizes their work

Commandant is full of good prim parts over a basic black outfit. You’ll find nose chains (not worn, not really my thing) and the no-slip leash we mentioned in the last Lady Anne post.

A good-sized crop and thigh-holstered dagger show the world you mean business.

We have tons of followers on the blog, and now we have uniforms.. I think I’ll start some sort of evil military fetish cult - I’ll keep you posted ;)

lelo:
Ok, looks like we have a military theme this week, but we really didn’t plan it like this. Really we didn’t.

Ok the outfit, Ministry of Pleasure in my case, comes with everything you see in the picture except the girl and her hair. *winks*

The boots are simple but have a good shape and come with invisi prims and alpha layer, so something for every generation of viewer.

You also get prim jodphurs, a prim collar and a prim armband, the armband can be edited so you can add your own flag here.

The cloth layer part give you gloves, pants, tunic and jacket. Not much room for mixing and matching but it’s the army, we all should look the same.

Indyra Originals - Addiction and DV-8 Boots

Deirdre:

Indyra’s is my favorite fashion store to buy fetishwear.

Her recent Coquette Noir line of boots looks absolutely awesome. I’m showing you two today, but there are tons more, in knee and ankle lengths.

I’m wearing the DV-8 ankle boots, and the vendor snap in our third pic is the Addiction model, sporting extra ankle straps and a black sole.

Both models come in viewer 1 and v2 versions; I find that respect of the old viewer users admirable.

The boots are a bit large right out of the box, but the included resize script took care of that in a hurry.

The DV-8 boots have a fun transparent sole - not a silly fully transparent one, which would be both easy to make and pointless to wear - rather, it gives a terrific impression of what transparent plastic does in RL.

Excellent prims, excellent reflections; if you’ve been looking for a fun pvc boot to wear with your Russ dress, drop by Indyra’s and pick up a pair.. or two ;)

lelo:
What do you get when fetish is made into mainstream fashion by the likes of lady Gaga?

Fashion stores like Indyra start making them and boy do they have a great eye for boot design.

The only real downside is the fact that, fashion people don’t get the fun of locking boots, so sadly no fun in the way of scripting.

But scripts are just icing on the cake and if the quality of the cake is good enough you don’t really need the icing, just like with these boots.

So all you kinky people around SL, if you are in the market for some great PVC stripper boots, look no further.

Fashoes - Sinfull Snake Boots (dirty version)

Deirdre:
Fashoes introduces dirt in our nice clean digital world. But don’t worry, it’s a good thing ;)

The full name of those boots is 107D Sinfull Snake Fashoes (dirty version). They look good, but they get dirty as you walk.

Onoes! ;) You guessed it, there’s a fun built-in boot licking animation to take care of things. Click your right boot (that’s where the menu is) and invite your victim.

The boot is sadly the old style two-part thigh boot that looks funny when you sit, no way around it... except mesh. Hint hint ;)

The boots have a gorgeous black python texture, reprised in the cool chrome snakes here and there, including a nearly microscopic one right on the heels.

The twisted ankle chain is the best example I’ve seen in SL. Cool bangles include padlock and key, heart and snake. Good symbolism :)

Fashoes is Jareth’s new store. New name, same excellent work. Do give her a visit.

lelo:
Jareth called us with some great news on some new roleplay enabled boots, i wonder why she thought of us with these boots. *winks*

Roleplay enabled i hear you asking? Yep, she figured out what’s been missing from boots in SL.

Dirt, plain old dirt, what good is a boot cleaning animation if all the boots in SL are squeaky clean.

These boots get dirty with wear and well you guessed it must get cleaned regularly.

So all you boot lickers out there get your significant others these lovely boots and you can be on your knees till your tongue bleeds.

Lady Anne's - Corporal Punishment and Judas Priestess

Deirdre:
Lady Anne likes uniforms. She likes them black, and spiky, and strict.

I’m wearing the Ministry of Pleasure Corporal Punishment. Discreet, subtle, understated... those are not words you’d be using here ;)

But it’s fun. Dressing for play is all about symbols, and no time for subtlety.

22 parts in the box, with some wild tattoos included (but not worn here).

It was the first time I saw the anti-slip leash holder - it’s linked to a padded, metal reinforced cuff. Your puppy won’t run away, guaranteed.

What else? Classic thigh boots, animated crop, belt, armband with the triskell bdsm logo, and a great garrison cap... not only do you not need anything else, there’s not a room left over for wearing it.

So if your sub wants an interrogation scene, drop by Lady Anne’s and pick up this great, inexpensive outfit.

lelo:
I’m wearing the Judas Priestess by Lady Anne and don’t worry we didn’t go all military on you. *winks*

This is a complete outfit for a very low price, only thing i added was my shape and skin, hair is optional as you can see.

There are 19 pieces in the box, 5 cloth layer, 1 alpha layer and 13 prim parts, everything but the kitchen sink.

The boots are far from my usual style, but they have a great leather texture and they are marching boots.

The cuff ear/nose rings with the chain are a fun touch and work well with the cap and glasses.

So when you are planning on BDSM world domination, Lady Anne has your uniforms waiting for you and your troops..

Jaimie Earst Fashion - Erika, Luiza, Elena and Tigra

Deirdre:
On our last visit at Jaimie’s, she literally buried us under awesome outfits.

We try to space out posts on the same store, but I feel we actually waited a bit too long on these, so here are four great fetish outfits by Jaimie Earst Fashion.

In the first pic, I’m wearing Erika; the military cap.. well, lelo just said “that one has your name on it, Mistress”. She’s sharp that way.

Erika is a lovely, basic fetish outfit. No frills, no nonsense, just an excellent - and complete! - clothes layer outfit and awesome little ankle boots.

The cap is fully resizable and took mere moments to adjust. The whip is included, and has action and sounds.

The second outfit I’m modeling is Luiza. This is another simple, classy bit of fetishwear you can wear out dancing - well, wherever you like, really. (One day I’m going to Rubber Room in my PoC bikini.)

The flared pant bottoms are extremely clever : they’re prims, built into the boots. We review a lot of clothing here, and it’s the first time I see this done. Brilliant.

Sorry for letting these lovely outfits sit in the drawer.. better late than never, eh?

lelo:
Tonight i’m wearing Elena and Tigra by Jaimie Earst. Not quite new but still very special and a good buy.

Elena is a great slave outfit and should go great with Erika, the thing i really love about this one is the fact that it doesn’t look like bondage outfit but it surely is one.

The scripts are in the belt, boots and bracelets; and work together, giving you some great binding poses.

As you might expect the usual owner and RLV options are included in the script.

The Tigra is a cool clubbing outfit which gives you flames in 5 colors: black, cyan, gold, pink (as shown in the picture) and silver.

You also get the prim belt that has a simple resize script in the box, the shoes i kept from the Elana outfit. They aren’t included with Tigra, but hey you do get 5 colors in the box.

So if you want a inconspicuous bondage suit or a great party outfit, get your butt over to Jamie's.

Rosal - Updated Tueur and Latex Thigh Boots

Deirdre:
We were people-watching at Mesmerize Dungeon (which is turning into, as lelo put it, “Fetish Ranch”), and our old friend Signal Demina showed up in gorgeous Tueur thigh boots.

I oo’d and aah’d, because we had just heard about them from Tsarina - seems Sig has an inside track at Rosal. I assured her I wasn’t jealous ;)

The boots are new, but that’s not all. It seems Tsarina updated the Tueur corset and neck corset. I imagine it means better scripts, because they looked pretty awesome to begin with.

There is frilly lace all over the things, so if you want to do a Cardinal Richelieu roleplay, you’re set. If you just want to look wicked in strap-covered shiny leather, it comes right off.

If you like color options in your clothes, the Fatpack versions of the Tueur separates give you red, white and black.

The Rosal boots have one of the most elegant foot shapes I’ve seen in SL boots.

Lelo was amazed when she saw the ballet heel was shorter than the platform - hey, for once I’m taller than my doll! (oops. pics say no. darn!)

lelo:
Tsarina caught the boot bug and made 3 lovely pairs of boots for her Tueur line of corsets.

All 3 boots are thigh high and offer normal heels, platform heels, which Mistress wears and lovely ballets, with me in them. *smiles*

You can get the usual 3 base colors white, red and black in smart color change fatpack, and you can fine tune your colors with the supplied HUD.

The hud is a smart little thing that scans for colorable Rosal objects and lets you pick the one you want to pimp, so one HUD to serve all.

So if you want some great looking boots, that match one of the best looking corsets in SL you know where to look.

Pietas Obscurum - Mesharah Boots

Deirdre:
Mesharah is a good, Google-friendly name. Not that naming your boots “Thigh Boots” is a bad thing in itself, but they will never be found in search, barring a minor miracle.

I admire unique, simple names. To me, Kayliwulf is the all-time champ, all weight divisions in SL for a store name : simple, unique, unmistakable.

Mesharah is a strong contender for an item name. There’s a city in Iraq with that name, and that’s about it. (Mind you, I had to Google Khanuy Gol, our sim, to find out that it was a volcano in Mongolia!)

These lovely, unique-named mesh thigh boots, then, are wedges with a unique foot shape. They ride a bit low, so I had to raise my avatar (one of the nice Phoenix options, z-modifier) by a few cm.. well, it’s what high heels do, isn’t it? :)

The shine is excellent, particularly on the calves; very good work there. The thigh straps at the top are distinctive, I’ve never seen the like before.

A few good notecards are included, a fitting guide and a good reminder about LOD.

Don’t forget to visit P.O.’s blog : http://pietasobscurum.wordpress.com/

lelo:
Another set of mesh boots this week, this time a more fashionable option from Pietas Obscurum.

This is one of those products where the box is almost more beautiful as the item itself, well almost. *smiles*

For ease of fitting you get 5 sizes in the box, a Small fits Mistress perfectly and a Large works for my pony thighs, so i’m sure the XL will work for most men.

The bindings on the back of the top of the shaft look great, giving these boots something special.

I also love the folds just above the calves and above the feet, great stuff.

The heel are a bit too fashionable for my taste, but then i’m the girl that wears ballets 24/7.

Ohh and yes they do bend at the knees, sorry can’t get enough of that. *winks*

XTC Leather - Def Con Leather Dress and Boots in Chocolate

Deirdre:
We keep in touch with Xaviar, sharing spectacular pics and cool things we find. In this latex world, a good leather designer is a friend to cherish :)

He drops a bomb on us tonight : the Def Con Leather Dress, in rich chocolate-colored leather with distinctive leather braided seams.

It’s hot off the press - like, coming out at the store as I write this. God I love exclusives :)

Def Con is a gorgeous little leather dress, in biker “indian” style, with XTC’s usual excellent textures, perfectly matching skirt prim part, and a good variety of openings if the skin you want to show off is your own.

The matching (but not included) boots fit me out of the box. They don’t come with a resize script, so take a copy and edit by hand - it’s pretty straightforward.

So if you want to stand out from the latex crowd - not that there’s anything wrong with latex! - you know where to go.

lelo:
Def Con comes in 3 stages, Def Con 3 is what Mistress is wearing the full dress, with Def Con 2 you lose the front panels and Def Con 1 (aka global nuclear war) opens up the back of the dress.

You get the dress in the pants and shirts layer, just where you would expect it.

Xaviar also added gloves and net stockings to sweeten the deal, and they do work great together.

As expected the leather texture is quite yummy and chocolaty and it’s also used on the matching boots.

The boots, which are sold separately, are of a simple fashionable style, well i guess a heel like that would put them in the fetish category in RL.

Finally i just have got to mention the prim skirt inlay, hiding that awful SL cloth skirt, i might have said this before, but i do love these little prims.

BarePeds - Ankle boots

Deirdre:
Sometimes we hear from a designer, sometimes we go looking to make sure they haven’t been dragged off by gypsies.

I was pleased to see the nice variety of ankle boots at BarePeds, but I was a little surprised when Qeux backed up the shoe truck and buried us under all the models :)

In fact, he came by and we had a very cool and unexpected chat.

Seems that BarePeds was put on a slight pause as Qeux is developing products at his other store, Lovers Playground Petite.

What products? Accessories for “petites”, the latest thing in avatars. Tiny, well-formed mesh avatars. Here’s Qeux wearing one - note the tiny CFM boots :)

The BarePed ankle boots, then : I’m wearing the belted version in the first pic, and they look pretty darn awesome.

An excellent shape, a few great prim details (like the little heart at the rear you nearly need a microscope to see.. there’s a lot to love here.

If your ankle boot collection needs a little variety, why not stop by BarePeds and stock up? Bring a large bag ;)

We were looking through our list of designers we hadn’t covered in a while and BarePeds caught our eye, so we had a look and we weren’t disappointed.

We showed you his knee high boots the last time so now it’s time for the ankle high boots.

There are 6 versions to choose from: belted, laced, collar, collar tall, cuffed and lace buckled.

All boots come in three sizes small, medium and large and don’t have a resizing script, for both of us the medium was a good fit.

The magic of alpha socks working hard, but for you still clinging on to the V1 viewer there are also invisiprims included.

Nice choice of good looking boot on the edge of fashion/fetish, hope he’ll get back to making big stuff soon. *smiles*
