Kayliwulf Kingdom: Penny Lane

Deirdre:
"Penny Lane is in my ears and in my eyes
"There beneath the blue suburban skies
"I sit, and meanwhile back...

Penny Lane - the latex outfit - caught my eye at my last visit at Kayliwulf, and it looks as good on lelo as the vendor pictures suggested.

I had lelo model that one, because a) I can't be hogging all the nice Kayliwulf outfits, and b) I had a hunch that her curves would show off the outfit better than my own more slender silhouette.

The texture was clearly designed to look good on bell-bottoms.. a nice change from "spray-on" skintight pants often seen in latex. And maybe bell-bottoms are the sixties reference in the name.

A nice classy look, original and fun.

lelo:
Nice little number from Kayliwulf Kingdom.

And for once almost PG, ok it would turn some heads in RL *winks*.

The top it almost transparent in all the right places, well it's a milky kind of latex they use, but it makes the top close to PG.

The rear of the top... well there really isn't one in this case, just the reflections on the milky transparent latex, all the way down to my tush.

The pants have the usual KK latex reflections, and end in some very nice bell-bottoms. i didn't like them in the 70's, but on this outfit they work.

The outfit is completed with the KK 10" platform strap pump, in the same color as the rest of the outfit, and they work well with the bell-bottoms.

The pump comes with the controls Laz has been putting in most of his new prim shoes/boots, giving you control over the sound, AO and bling.

All in all, a good addition if you want to take your love for latex into the PG parts of SL, and yes they exist *winks*

Mesmerize Dungeon : Deluxe Latex Catsuit

Deirdre:
I had a sudden impulse to spoil lelo, so I took her shopping. Mesmerize Dungeon is a neat place, techno-fetish style, I guess you'd say.

The hood looks very good, and we've looked at more than a few from other designers - most didn't look nice to me.

This catsuit is shiny in the right places, and comes with a built-in SPZ - Strategically Placed Zipper.

The perfect gift for the rubber doll who has everything : more rubber ;)

lelo:
A new addition to my wardrobe cutesy of my Mistress.

This is a full body suit covering you from head to toe with thick shiny rubber, pity SL doesn't have smellovision. *winks*

The set contains both clothing layers, great for mixing and matching.

The hood has small holes for the eyes, mouth and two little nose holes, there is little to no skin shown, so you don't get another look from the skin.

The catsuit has some nicely placed zippers, a double sided one over the back and covering the crotch, two on the calf's to fit you boots under it and one on the back of the head.

The reflections are great and give the suit a rubbery look when you zoom in on the texture you get the feeling you can see things in the reflections.

The suit has some darker lines on it giving the impression of seams where the suit is fused together.

As a bonus you get a pair of platform boot, not really my taste, but a nice extra none the less.

A good base for every rubber doll's outfit... just add the lockable toys... well you get the drift.. *smiles*

NanoGunk : Catsuit, "Slinky Circles Blue"

Deirdre:
This is one of my favorite catsuits, and it would be showing wear if there was such a thing in Second Life. I wear it as something to cover in good accessories, almost like a skin.

The reflections don't say latex to me.. more a spandex or PVC. The texture has a grain you can see up close, but just gives a great realistic feel from a distance.

The holes are a fun touch, and are certainly distinctive. No worries about running into someone wearing the same style as you, unless it's actually Nanogunk too ;)

Included with the basic catsuit are two transparent versions, one 50% visible and one 75% visible. They *are* fun, but you'll need the included panties and bra (or nipple covers) if you're not in an adult sim.

I love my shoulder gloves - either you're a leather goddess or you are *not* a leather goddess - but I had to edit appearance and shorten the catsuit sleeves so my gloves showed.. Deirdre's tip of the week for you ;)

lelo:
Very good-looking catsuit, no visible lines where the bottom meets the top.

The texture is different from any i have seen on latex in SL, it's not as shiny as PoC's and when you zoom in it consists of little dots.

But the two things that make this catsuit stand out are the holes in the side of it and the nice little logo on the back.

This one is truly for the girls, as the reflections really focus on the breasts.

Kayliwulf Kingdom : Yin Yang

Deirdre:

Yin and Yang is a new outfit by Kayliwulf, and it looks good!

Give me a white cloak and I can do a fair White Queen impression. Here's a link for the culturally challenged ;)

The lacing is a fun detail but fades somewhat in white. The prim laces on the dress, gloves and stockings are a lovely little touch.

Clean and classy, a good foundation for an outfit, but you may want to accessorize.

lelo:
Another lovely creation from kayliwulf.

Based on their prim boot, this time with lacing down the back of them.

The boots are white with white lacing and silver eye-holes, another color for the lacing would have worked better, but i guess that would not have worked with the design.

The boots are combined with black latex stockings, which peek over the tops of the boots, giving it the Yin & Yang effect.

The white dress has the same lacing as the boots, here the Yin & Yang effect is being achieved by a nice bit of black lace at the top of the cups.

The short, short dress suffers from the way short dresses are drawn in SL, which is a pity, i hope this will be resolved in a future update.

The set is finished off by a pair of nice opera length gloves, and you'll guess right, once again there is a lacing, this time along the top.

Sadly there is no black in the gloves, to keep with the Yin & Yang style.

POC Latex catsuit

Deirdre:

To my eye, this catsuit looks more like a coat of blood-red nail polish than like latex.

The reflections look super realistic, with a number of rich tints setting the bar quite high for other latex designers.

The store has a nice, simple layout and a cool, trendy warehouse feel... you won't get lost in this one.

One little annoyance : the "neon lighting" above the vendors look realistic, and would make a lot of sense in RL.. but here they just interfere with seeing the top of the picture.

lelo:
The latex texture of Powers Of Creation is just amazing, the shine on it is so deep it's almost liquid. The first time i saw it, i was sold.

POC offers a wide variety of colors in their latex, but all with the same liquid quality.

Kai doesn't have outfits like Kayliwulf does but concentrates on basic clothing and color combination's. Sadly this means that he only work with textures and cuts, but don't use prims in his designs. I wonder what he could do if he would combine his texturing work with prims, lets hope he will take up that challenge.

The prices are very low if you consider how much you get with every purchase.

The store is very clean but as usual with this amount of vendors a bit laggy, i just love the way the different products are displayed and are delivered in those little cans.

Black and this blood red are the best colors, but that's just my humble opinion, just try them all... *smiles*

Kayliwulf Kingdom Hallowe'en : Bipolar Disorder

Deirdre:

A fun spooky orange and black number for Hallowe'en, I'm telling you about it in advance, so you can run to the store, buy it, and win all the "best fetish Hallowe'en outfit" contests!

The bipolar part is of course the comedy and tragedy masks, humorously drawn on each boobie. If you have pumpkins there instead of itty-bitty-titty-committee entries like mine, I suppose the faces look better.

The corset is the recent "chrome" design, and the detail is as good as it gets, on both the front straps with chrome side panels and the back lacing.

The outfit comes with contrasting orange straps on the black gloves and boots. I think they look terrific on the legs, but you may find them a bit overwhelming on the arms.

Every bit of chrome on this outfit will bling if you let it ;) A menu is available by clicking the foot of the boot, to turn off bling and turn on heel sound and sexy walk. Um, that's what *I* do with it. You turn everything on or off that you want.

And to stay with the festivities, I'm also showing you the Latex Witches' Hat, from Kayliwulf's Black Magic ensemble. Once again, bling in the hat buckle is controlled from the boots - took a moment to figure that one out.

Happy Hallowe'en!

lelo:

As i'm from Europe this whole Hallowe'en thing is a bit over my head, not sure where this obsession with pumpkins, spiders and witches comes from. So i'll keep to the basics.

Being Dutch the color choice is great, orange is our national color, so that's a great start. *smiles*

The corset looks good, the lacing is great and i love the little prim tie. The reflection on the top of the corset gives it some depth, only pity is they didn't repeat that depth effect on the bottom of the corset.

The catsuit is the standard high quality latex you would expect from KK, the two "face" on the breasts are nice and i'm amazed Laz didn't make them see trough which would be more in line with his nipple obsession *winks*

The witches hat is a pritty amazing piece of prim controle as the main part of the hat is made of one prim, bend into an amazing shape. The belt finishes an amazing piece of clothing.

i wish all of you in the Americas a wonderful Hallowe'en, and i hope to party along with you. *smiles*

Freebies around SL : KCreations catsuits

Deirdre:

Freebies are not always wonderful. Sometimes they're first attempts; sometimes they're not quite good enough to sell. Let's face it, if an item is so terrific that people are willing to pay thousands of L$ for it, it won't usually be given away.

Sometimes, however, designers will make very good items available for free as promotional material.

This brings visitors to their stores, gets them talked about... and since being found on SL is quite a challenge, a good freebie can work wonders.

This is the case with KCreations's free latex catsuits.

A boxed set of catsuits in black, white, pink, orange and red that will let you mix and match as foundation for any number of outfits.

A simple example: say you don’t have good boots yet. You could wear black latex stockings with a decent shoe or sandal and achieve a pretty neat look, for free.

The “reflections” on the latex are suited to a male or female body – choose the one you need. The outfits are no transfer, so if a friend wants them, just send them to the store.

lelo:
Time for a new feature on our blog : we'll make a list of good freebies we've found in SL, and offer you the opportunity to participated by sending us the slurl of other great freebies.

To start we have chosen the wonderful catsuits by Kat Fetisov, of Kcreations.

The catsuits are simple but show the quality of Kat's work and in that way serve the purpose of being a great demonstrator of the rest of her products. Give them a look if you like the freebies, that's only fair.

The boxes with the free catsuits can be found at:
http://slurl.com/secondlife/Lineside/102/146/77 (updated 2009-08-13!)

If you've got any links to good freebies, don't hesitated and attach them as a comment.

Kayliwulf Kingdom - Latex hood (FetishDoll Skin 1.2K)

Deirdre :
I love hoods. A hooded slave is just really sexy to me. There's something about the anonymity that says "slave!" and "sex doll!"... Ahem ;)

When I first saw lelo, she was wearing this hood. Needless to say, I keep her in it a lot of the time. (We joke that our friends won't recognize her without it.)

In Second Life, a hood is a skin, which is to say, a texture applied to the body. The "3D" effect around the eyes is a very well done fake.

Oh, you see a few prim hoods like the bane isolation helmet (we may cover that sometime) but generally, I think it's tricky to get the head shape just right.

lelo:

I love wearing hoods and i wear them often; mainly this one, which is one of the older designs from Kayliwulf. I have it in 3 colors but favor the black one.

As i use the Kayliwulf skin already, there is no difference between my normal skin and the skin wearing this hood, which also means that my eyes and mouth stay as i'm used to.

This hood is one of the few i have seen in SL where the openings for the eyes and mouth aren't just openings in the texture but are given a real depth.

This care for detail is also seen around the ears, which themselves are simply black but a nice highlight around them gives the illusion of the rubber stretching over them.

The hood is the base of your look: by adding extras like prim head harnesses and gags you add variety.

I had a small issue with this mask when i first bought it : i chose the wrong skin color under the hood.

A simple call to Daphne Goodnight from Kayliwulf and the hood was exchanged no questions asked. Great customer service, as promised.

Kayliwulf Kingdom - Shaved Ice

Kayliwulf Kingdom is one of the largest stores in Second Life, fetish or not.

The owners, Lazarus Luan and Daphne Goodnight, have been pioneering the marketing technique of "give till it hurts" : freebies, parties, fashion shows... it's really hard not to love these folks.

The parties are great fun, and a perfect excuse to wear the new outfits you buy. Laz is an amazing DJ... some of the oddest requests get played ;)

My latest purchase from Kayliwulf is this outfit, FetishDoll X Shaved Ice. Don't let the color put you off : it looks fantastic in sunset or midnight lighting, it totally brings out my tan, and if you want to stand out in a crowd wearing black latex, this is for you.

I love the calf and thigh straps, and my pictures don't do justice to the sculpted prim heel and foot. As with most SL clothes, they look better in movement.

The store has an incredibly wide inventory - to the point of being a little slow. A bit of patience is definitely required, for visiting the store or the parties.
