Elixir - Scirocco Boots and Embrace and Renegade

Deirdre:

We saw those neat boots at Elixir a while back, and there were cool new vests, too - boots and vests, one post, right? Ha! Our life should be so easy.

Khorus unexpectedly threw in a new item: boot extensions!

Suddenly, the already very cool Scirocco knee boots can be turned into even cooler thigh boots, with a clothes-layer stocking and prim-part boot top.

Not enough? There is also an ankle-high version of the boots included, so you can wear them with pants.

The boots are armored, and the textures are outstanding; leather or armor parts have different reflectivity, there are seams, folds, hard bits and soft bits.. this is very impressive work.

The boot extension complements the knee boot very well, despite the known difficulty of getting prim and clothes-layer textures to match.

The vest I’m wearing is in the same line, called simply Scirocco Vest Hextile, and since Khorus didn’t want us to model her boots without pants, I’m wearing the Renegade Riza Cheek Shorts.

As I was telling lelo, my vest you wear when you’re not worried about being shot in the chest, hers when you are ;)

lelo:
Elixir is always good for some interesting themed clothing, and no exception with tonights gear, and gear it is as this seems to be military inspired.

Ok, a very sexy army would use this as a uniform, but he this is SL and SL has a good share of fetish wasteland playgrounds.

I’m wearing the Renegade Risa outfit with the Sirocco boots, the outfit comes with the cheek shorts, stockings, mesh gloves and a top that can be worn on and off the shoulder.

You also get a nice prim piece to make a realistic top that spans between your breasts.

In the final picture i’m wearing the Pilot Parka in Hextile, there is also a Ribbed version, the parka looks more like a armoured vest, but except for the strange name they do look very good. (Latex catsuit not included!)

One bit of warning: the parkas, unlike the boots and the vest, which are unrigged, are rigged mesh and come only in one size.

So, great looking gear to roam the post apocalyptic wastelands, or just look great on the dance floor. *winks*

DeVicious - Balanced Evil

Deirdre:

I received this cool outfit from DeVicious a while back, and it rolled behind the couch. That’s my excuse and I’m sticking to it.

Balanced Evil is when you oppress the peasants but you don’t starve them or burn down their churches, I think.

It’s also a great name for a fetish outfit featuring skulls arranged in yin-yang symbols.

The simple top and pants are one layer each, no needless inventory clutter here.

The color version of Balanced Evil (worn by yours truly) includes red, blue and purple, and the colors (the blue in particular) fairly burst off the screen.

Excellent shine, included boots (with invisiprims for v1 steadfasts) and low low price.

Add a few accessories and go turn heads!

lelo:
Well this one really comes close to a freebie, which makes it a must have in my book.

The boxes are pretty full, giving you the outfit in 3 colors, either red, blue and purple or black, silver and brown.

You will find the top, the pants, left and right boot, the foot shaper and an alpha layer.

But that’s not all, Steph also included a face and body light system, a pose stand and a very smart customer support hud, that will answer the most frequent asked questions.

Fun sexy look, good matching boots and a low low price, what more can you wish for... now go go go...

Fairlight Industries - Hardsuit and Graves - Paradox

Kara Lilliehook is an old friend of lelo from a latex group, and we’ve recently been spending time getting caught up at Mesmerize Dungeon.

So when she showed up in this stunning sci-fi outfit last week, I thought it would be interesting to feature the cool combo of Graves latex and Fairlight hardsuit parts.

A brief test at our white studio showed that it was not the best place to shoot a white suit - duh, right? So we went out and caught a bit of fresh air and sunlight for those snaps.

The Fairlight parts (helmet, backpack, boots and gloves) go with the Graves suit as if it had been planned that way.

They are part of the Kojima brand at the Fairlight store; we don’t know the details there.

There is also a mysterious orange glowy thing which is either a doomsday weapon or a car door opener, I’m not sure which.

The Graves outfit is the Paradox 03 Leather-Latex Plugsuit.

We covered Paradox a while back but not in white.

The whole ensemble is sleek and menacing, perfect for sci-fi rp sims, or one of the innumerable space stations that seem to fascinate latex lovers so much.

A mix and match prize for Kara! :)

Ponka - Erin and Darkhunter

Deirdre:

A pair of cool science-fiction outfits from Ponka today: I’m wearing Erin, the tough leather post-apocalyptic bounty hunter with ruffles ;)

Lelo is wearing Dark Hunter, a shinier and equally deadly space-type outfit.

Erin comes in every single layer possible; there are actually tattoo layer parts for the corset, the jacket, and the pants.

The jacket is unusual, a kind of ultra short bolero. On a whim, I tried it on over my Kcreations red leather catsuit, and it gave a cool, ST:TNG-ish look.

The pants and corset share the same shine, and the jacket is a less shiny dark grey which is more similar to the boots.

Speaking of lots of parts, the mesh boots come in M, L, XL.. and a very neat Small which is both boots in the same mesh item.

So strap on your gun belt and go hunt down those interstellar felons, or what have you.. in style :)

lelo:
Darkhunter comes with a lot of prim parts and like Erin, every imaginable cloth layer.

You get 10 prim parts in the kit, from a pair of lovely dangly earrings to the samurai style shoulder pads.

All prim parts come with a resize script, but be careful they are no copy so no safety copies.

The boots aren’t included and might take a bit of searching to make them fit just right, the pants have a brownish tone to them, so leather boots fit them best, like the Utopia boots i’m wearing here. 

So get your Darkhunter outfit today and go..ehh.. hunt in the ehh.. dark.. *winks*

Lady Anne's Latex Emporium - The Demoness and Pumpkin Spice

You show us everything you've got
You keep on dancing and the room gets hot
You drive us wild, we'll drive you crazy
You say you wanna go for a spin
The party's just begun, we'll let you in
You drive us wild, we'll drive you crazy
You keep on shouting, you keep on shouting

I wanna rock and roll all night and party every day (repeat, repeat, repeat)

Deirdre:
Some awesome Hallowe’en costumes from Lady Anne tonight.

I’m wearing The Demoness, and lelo’s looking jailbait-ish in Pumpkin Spice.

The Demoness is a very cool homage to you-know-who, and with hair, shape, skin and tattoo makeup included, gives you everything you need right out of the box.

You wouldn’t be a very good KISS demon if you didn’t play your axe, so you get a very cool guitar-playing anim (snapped it in mid-riff in our first pic). Head-banging included, of course!

So swing by Lady Anne’s shop and see the cool Masquerade line of costumes she put together this year.

lelo:
More Hallowe'en tonight in the form of some fun latex by Lady Anne’s Latex Emporium.

I’m wearing Pumpkin Spice tonight, which works great with Mistresses Demoness or better rockstar as i think Pumpkin has a definite groupie feel to it.

The outfit comes with all you see here, well as usual lelo is not included, still it even comes with the hair which works perfectly with the outfit.

The massive platform combat boots aren’t quite my taste, but work great with the theme of the rock groupie.

Once again an old school skirt, yes i know they aren’t mesh, move all wrong and are covered in Prims 101, still i love the look of these and nothing is going to change that... yet.

Get into your costumes and have fun this year at the Hallowe'en parties around SL...

XTC Leather - CorruptCop and JailBird

Deirdre:

You have the right to remain... sexy ;) Yeah, it’s a cheesy line but I love it.

Some classic costumes from XTC, as I promised last time. I’m wearing CorruptCop and lelo is wearing Jailbird.

Cop comes with four pairs of boots: the black leather I’m wearing in the pic, and three alligator leather ones: plain, black and cream.

The boots have invisiprims and so are suitable for v1 users, and a no-foot alpha is included. Mod but not copy, so careful ;) The whole outfit is trans, suitable for gifts.

One clothing layer for the top and the hotpants, in the usual excellent XTC tradition of good leather highlights and folds. Cool shiny prim handcuffs at your belt and a very good police cap are included.

I might add some mirror aviator shades and a nightstick for a costume party, but this is a good basic costume right out of the box. Go personalize it and have fun!

lelo:
Well a few days to Halloween and we kept this one just for the occasion.

This is a fun couples outfit even if the cuffs don’t work, people should get your are together.

Jailbird comes with everything you see in the picture, well lelo is not included in the pack, but the rest is.

This includes the lovely boots and fun cap, both are prim and are just the way we love them, simple.

You also get a skirt with the by now mandatory prim insert to hide Ye Olde Linden booboo.

So add a pair of working cuffs and you can steal the show at the upcoming Halloween parties.

And rumour has it, the corrupt cop can be bought with hugs and kisses.. *winks*

Preview - XTC Boots

Our friend Pet was nearly bubbling with excitement when she called us this week: she had a hot XTC tip to throw our way, and did we want to see it?

Yeah, it didn’t take too long to ponder that one ;)

So she showed up tonight and modeled for us the new, upcoming, not released yet.. XTC mesh boots!

The shape looks really good; Xav is such a leather lover that I expected no less. The folds look really good, and the colors are meant to match his existing outfits.

If the boots seem a little dark, they are probably meant to complement and not take focus away from the outfits.

No actual release date available yet, except “after Hallowe’en”.

Remember, you read it here first ;)

Zarz - Liquid Latex Stiletto boots and Naughty N Nice - Bound To You

Hikari Shirabyoshi, our dear friend and furry model, is like a shopping bloodhound ;)

She found these two amazingly well-matched bits of shiny goodness and I said, we have to feature them together.

She agreed, mostly because she’s a sweetheart and and also because she knows a photo session at the studio takes moments thanks to our awesome setup - all home built, with me pointing vaguely and lelo handling the prim hammer and saw.

So, Hikari is wearing the Naughty N Nice outfit called Bound To You, sans long skirt, and the awesomely shiny (really, they glow!) Zarz Liquid Latex Stiletto Boots.

Bound To You is a new release at N&N, and is available in eight colors, including Red, shown here. The bare leg is fun but requires a bit of management.

In Hik’s case, her base coat (pun!) makes a solid color really stand out, but for us flesh tone type, it makes the outfit a touch more like clubwear than traditional fetish.

The boots by Zarz in Candy Red are a design we’ve seen but the texture is so spectacular that we have no trouble running it again. They’re available in twelve shiny metallic colors.

Dare Designs - Looking for Strange

Deirdre:

When I saw Looking for Strange by Dare Designs, I blurted out “Oh, that reminds me of DV8.” Yeah, I’m still working on the diplomacy thing ;)

Fortunately, Dare wasn’t offended. It turns out he worked with the DV8 designer, and they *are* closed, so no harm and no foul.

The (unrigged) mesh mask and boots are completely original creations, and the textures are hand-drawn. We approve!

The color versions (10 plus black) are neat, mostly avoiding the dreaded black on black. The multiple reflections are fun, suggesting rows of lights.. definitely an industrial setting.

Do use the resize script if you intend to restore the boots to their store-bought shape; they’re no copy, which makes manual fiddling less safe than when you can take a backup.

So get a gun and go hunt up mutants, or robots, or whatever post-apocalyptic baddie you like best - ooo, I know, zombies! Zombies are all the rage lately. Go shoot zombies! ;)

lelo:
Back in latex tonight, this time a new offering from Dare Designs called Looking for Strange, well that can’t be hard in SL. *winks*

You get some clothing options with this one, starting with a bikini, then you can add a waist cincher, stockings, gloves, garters or pants. There are also a pair of long gloves included.

The mesh boots are part of the package and look good, but need a bit of adjustment to fit perfectly, but what’s new about that.

Finally there is a mesh mask that has the same simple resize script as the boots and if you are new to the blog, with simple we mean good. *smiles*

The thing i really like about this one is the color fade from red to black, very nicely done.

Domina’s Duo - Elegance Evolution and Utopia Design - Sirius

Deirdre:

We featured Elegance recently, and it’s worth sharing the new Evolution boot with you to show the nice improvement to the shape and texture of the boot.

The ankle folds are in the sculpt and they match the shine to perfection.

I still love the excellent heel and pointy toe, and the folds really add to the boots.

I confirmed with Gina, and the original Elegance line does not have the folds in mesh, only in texture.

This is a more fetishy boot than Bax’s Prestige, to my eye. Latex lovers take note :)

Some lovely new boots from Elisabetta at Utopia@Design, she’s slowly moving away from fetish and moving into fashion.

The Sirius have a good shape, all mesh, i just love her eye for detail, just have a look at the zipper and the stitching.

But shape is just half the story here, the quality of texture she used for these boots is amazing, it has a great leather feel, which you can almost smell.

And then there is the included HUD, which has 3 tabs, first are the presets, giving you 14 gorgeous leather options.

The second, textures, lets you color all the separate parts to your own taste.

The last called options, gives you the fitting pose, the resize and sound options, a very nice easy to use clean HUD.

So looking for a pair of fashionable fetishy boots that will fit most of your outfits? Look no more here they are. *winks*

Domina's Duo - Elegance and Seduisance Boots

Deirdre:

A long-time reader tip (thank you Rubberdoll Magic!) led us to Domina’s Duo, and the two excellent designs we’re showing you tonight : the knee-high Elegance, and thigh-high Seduisance mesh boots.

These are original designs by Gina Lurra, not bought and painted sculpts - there’s nothing wrong with those, but we do love to see new creations.

I’m wearing the Elegance Rainbow here; they’re colorable to match any outfit which is giving you trouble (Hugo green and yellow come to mind).

There’s a good assortment of starting colors, and you can fine-tune them by brightness, tint and saturation.

Or, if you want something to do the job quickly, the included notecard suggests using a color picker and links to a pretty good free one

With this, you point to a spot on your outfit you want to match, and enter the red, green and blue values in the Color Pick HUD button, and presto - you have matching boots. Tip : use a pose stand to avoid moving, it'll make picking the right color easier.

The boot shape is terrific, and will be suitable for fashion outfits as well as fetish. The pointed toe is a shape I love, in particular.

Keep an eye on Domina’s Duo, this is a shop that’s going places. Watch out, Bax! :)

lelo:
Another pair of good looking boots tonight, this time by a, for us, new designer team, Tawny Mirror and Gina Lurra.

The Seduisance boots i’m wearing are mesh as you might have guessed and come in 6 sizes, so they should fit most AV’s in SL.

The leather texture is amazing, as is the look of the zipper in the inside leg.

As usual the mesh works brilliant and the shape looks very realistic with all the natural looking folds.

I just wonder what she would make when she sets her mind to ballet boots, just a suggestion. *winks*

Kcreation - Feline Boots

Deirdre:

Kat keeps producing awesome work and awesome innovation.

These gorgeous Feline Boots by Kcreations look amazing enough on their own, but they are dead easy to customise with the (inexpensive!) extra texture packs, sold separately. Leather and Patent are two different boots, I should point out.

I got the Antique Leather texture pack - you steampunks will appreciate - and you see me wearing one of them in the second picture.

As far as I know, this is a first. You usually have to buy new copies of an item to get new colors.

Kat is planning to release more texture packs; when it’s easy to change, it’s possible to take chances. We might see zebra print and other fun looks - I’ll keep you posted!

lelo:
We had a preview of these boot during our 1000th post party when Kat was wearing these, and finally she is satisfied enough to release them to the general public.

So here they are: the newest mesh boots by Kat, the folds are amazing and wait till you see the color/texture options.

You get 5 sizes in the package, so there should be one fitting most standard AV’s.

There also is a HUD that lets you control the colors of your boots, the heels and soles separately, i just love red soles on my boots. *smiles*

There are 32 preset colors covering most needs, but you also can use a tint picker to match that one special outfit.

So run run run to the little shop of kinks and get yours before the Lindens run out of pixels.

Graves - Bound Boots

Deirdre:

We had a nice surprise when we visited Graves; Jackie took my suggestion and the “New” signs are now big, and unmistakable ;)

Lelo and I spotted the Bound boots at the same time, and I only had one challenge left : showing them off properly. I’m wearing a skimpy version of Paradox sans legwear.

Obviously you’ll wear the Bound boots without having to worry about this, as they are meant to match Jackie’s other outfits perfectly.

The texture is really good, so I cheated a bit in Photoshop to show you. Real snap is at the left, lightened version at the right. We snap all our pics with mid-day light, in front of big spots.

Great prim straps, great heel and foot shape.. you can now spy, infiltrate, skulk, pussyfoot and prowl in style :)

lelo:
It’s summertime and things are slowing down in SL, so filling weeks with lovely new things is getting a bit harder.

So we did a quick visit of our favorite stores in SL, at times like these you really appreciate the New signs some designers use.

The New signs at Graves are hard to miss, being bright red in sea of black. *smiles*

The Bound boots caught our eyes, must be the first time i see buckled platforms, still gives a fun look.

The boots suffer a bit from what we call B.O.B. (black on black), when you zoom in you see her trademark texturing, so a perfect match for a Graves outfit.

Lapointe Bastchild - S'wear Drift Biker Outfit

Deirdre

Lapointe & Bastchild is not our usual store type, but I came across this biker outfit on their blog, and it just cried mama to me.

S’wear is their casual line of clothing : biker, rocker, denim fetish ;) They subtitle it "urbanwear".

Drift is a prim-rich outfit: the jacket, sleeves, pants bottoms and belt are all prim, and all adjustable, both with script for the big job, and manually for just that right fit - excellent pictures are included if you don’t know how to do it.

The prims were big out of the box for me, but a surprisingly quick bit of adjusting on a pose stand took care of that.

The boots are awesome, which is why I just had to snap them alone; the pants cover them up for a cool and authentic look, but it’s kind of a shame to hide them.

You’ll need to first wear the boots and then choose “Add” to wear the pants legs. It says so right in the name, but it still took me a moment to get it; my first time doing this, and I love it!

There is a backup box included in case of resize accident, which contains the whole outfit again. I like that belt-and-suspenders attitude.

lelo:
Well by now you must know Mistress is a sucker for a good bikers outfit, not sure if it’s the leather or something i missed. *winks*

Anyway as she saw this one, the boots we were searching for were quickly forgotten.

I’m sure it was the jacket that did it for her, for me personally it were the boots, i guess we all have our own focus.

If you are like me and have no real use for a, i have to admit, very good looking jacket, you can just buy the boots, or the jacket of course.

But this is a limited time only promo, it’s 50% off compared to the separate parts, so grab it while you can.

Nekos From Mars - Operative Series

Deirdre:

While we’re not changing careers from bloggers to secret agents, our recent wardrobe seems to hint that we should :)

We got a friendly hello from Mars Matova asking if we were interested in reviewing his new Operative line of full outfits. A quick peek on Marketplace showed that they looked good so we agreed.

I just had no idea. This is really impressive gear!

I’m wearing most of the Cell Operative outfit in our first pic, minus only the commando-ninja mask; it did nothing good for my hair ;)

The box for C.O. held 30 parts not counting extras, of which I’m wearing 15 - lelo was a little puzzled when I said I was a overwhelmed; the other outfits are somewhat less intricate.

There’s a lot to love here. The mesh corset and excellent booties would be worth the price of admission by themselves.

Cydonian Operative, my outfit on the second pic, is much more revealing and features two-toned mesh boots, red in front and black in rear; wow them when you arrive, sneak away undetected, perhaps.

Keep an eye on Nekos from Mars - we certainly will :)

lelo:
Nekos From Mars is a new shop in our list and it totally blew us over.

One of the great things with Mars's designs it that he writes a backstory for all his operatives and designs the outfit accordingly, a smart way of working i would say.

On Marketplace he tells the backstory of each design, giving you a feel of what’s involved with each operative.

Legion Operative is the outfit i wear in the first picture, according to Mars’s back story, this is the most basic and most common operative and with prices like that i can understand why.

You get the mesh corset in 8 sizes so there should be one for almost every one, the way the corset moves with your body is great.

You also get 3 different versions of the gloves, a modest version of the catsuit and the one i’m wearing here, both in underwear layer.

Finally there are a pair of great-looking booties, a prim collar and 6 alpha layers to let the corset work with different size boots and shoes.

In the second picture i’m wearing the Cyber Operative in red, there also is a blue version.

According to Mars this is a gynoid operative aka a fembot, that should bring in the dolls of SL.

This one comes with a amazing-looking circuited catsuit, the same texture is also used on the booties.

Most eye-catching is the helmet which totally works with gynoid theme.

The big prim collar and the arm blades bring the outfit further to life.

So check out what kind of operative you are and join the Nekos from Mars.

Cool quiet visit, saw much

I actually finished my first sim, and got half-way through my second one!

Most of the exhibits are really cool, a few are so puzzling as to be completely incomprehensible to me - I really wasn’t expecting that; but I’m reconciled with the idea not everyone thinks the same way I do, and it’s ok.

What I did see and love were two old friends : the Phoenix viewer exhibit, and New Citizens Inc.

Phoenix has several panels of good info, and a really stunning animated phoenix statue which catches your eye from a good distance :)

NCI.. those awesome, crazy guys built a little replica of NCI Kuula, the spot I send new residents for free classes and good information since we found them years ago.

I’m really enjoying this visit, and doing it with the idea of sharing my favorite finds with you definitely adds a little something. I never expected I’d enjoy blogging so much :)

Anima Temptation - Eleganza Blackshine and Discordia Ballo

Deirdre:

Back to our regularly scheduled broadcast - but see the end of the post for my morning visit to SL9B!

I saw the cheapie version (violet!) of Eleganza advertised on Fetish Consolidated, and decided to go have a peek at the cool underground store at Pirandello Bay.

We were pleasantly surprised to see so many nice new designs, but as Adira said, it’s nearly a year since we last featured her. High time!

The shapes are gorgeous, and completely original. Bought sculpts don’t mean poor quality boots, but original gets higher marks from me.

Eleganza is the style of stiletto I love best, and could have been inspired by Fernando Berlin boots’  dagger heels and pointy toes.

The price is pretty awesome too : 240L$ instead of the regular 480L$. Pounce and tell Adira who sent you ;)

lelo:
Yes, we managed to find some more ballets and you thought we had done them all.

Adira seems to have reworked her old ballet shape and i think it’s a good improvement.

The boots come in black, red and pink i’m wearing here, you can change the color of the sole of the boots with a simple chat command.

With the boots menu you can control the sound level, the size, the ao and finally the locking options that all good ballets should have.

A final fun, if dangerous, option controlled by the menu are the spurs, first time i see that on ballets, i’m sure there is a reason for that. *winks*

There is also a thigh high version of these boots and an ankle version that doesn’t have the spurs.

I visited the amazing Lake Stage this morning. Built by Kazuhiro Aridian, it’s the first mesh stage to be used at a SL birthday celebration.

It’s absolutely huge, and my first thought when I saw it was dinosaur bones :)

I was lucky enough to catch a live performance, arriving without any particular planning.

Caoilte Skytower, aka Connor Savage, entertained a modest but appreciative crowd (hey, it was early for many of us!) with Irish ballads and drinking songs.

He pronounced my name correctly so I’m now a lifelong fan ;)

If you want to avoid trusting luck as I did, here's the event schedule :
