DeVicious - Sunshine Island and Miami Fiesta

Deirdre:
More mesh-y goodness from DeVicious.. I believe Steph has abandoned clothes layer for good :)

I’m wearing Sunshine Island, Steph’s latest little multicolored dress. Four HUDs of ten textures each, this time : Floral, Chiffon and Leather, Mixed Fabrics, and Ornament Dresses.

The leopard print in Mixe Fabrics caught my eye; it’s a lot better than what we usually see called leopard; it looks as if the designer had actually seen leopard skin before creating ;)

The Vega slouch boots complete the outfit, in five colors.

Two sets of dresses are included in the box; normal sizes, and Materials enabled doubles.

As lelo remarked to me, this is video week: Steph created an excellent demo video to show Sunshine Island with and without Materials enabled.



lelo:
Steph keeps cranking out the summer dresses as if summer is going out of fashion fast and first indication of that is the jumpsuit i’m wearing here.

It’s called Miami Fiesta and i think that's a fitting name for it as it has that Buena Vista Social Club feel.

As usual, you get 5 huds with 10 different textures each for you outfit and this version even doubles that with the shine option, turning leather into patent leather.

The included ankle boots sadly disappear under the jumpsuit, which really is a shame, come in cream, red and black and 3 sizes.

So need a laid back, easy going little number for a indian summer evening jazz concert or just a sexy looking jumpsuit… *smiles*

XTC Leather - Exhibition

Deirdre:
Every fetishist has their guilty pleasure, and mine is eighties-style pyramid studs, lots and lots of them in neat rows.

It seems Xaviar may be nearly my age, or he just likes all the same things I do by pure luck. (I’m tempted to say excellent taste, but as one of my friends likes to say, *good* experts are just the ones who agree with you.)

Exhibition, then, is a cool leather outfit, with several versions: skimpy, naughty, and outrageous ;)

For once I let lelo show off the less revealing one, and took the short top. Not that she’s dressed for Siberia or anything.

Gold pyramid studs cover every reasonable inch of Exhibition, in prim or clothes layer reasonable facsimile. I decided to wear the cool included choker, but I spun it 180° to put the roller buckle at the rear. The bracelets are copy, if you want to wear a ton of them :)

Great boots with a bold leather texture complete the outfit, and as usual, the outfit is extremely low-priced.

lelo:
Leather tonight and leather here usually means XTC, so here’s the new Exhibition from the hand of Xaviar.

In the box you will find a complete outfit or even two when you only wear the underwear layer.

There are 15 wearable items in the box, including the studded bracelets and collar Mistress is wearing.

You even get a cloth layer skirt with prim insert, remember those..., just kidding it still works to hide that old Linden boeboe. *smiles*

Finally you will find a pair of XTC boots with matching studs to the rest of the outfit.

Bax Coen Design - Regency Boots

Deirdre:
We won’t be the first bloggers to post about the Regency boots, but that won’t stop us ;)

Bax’s new Regency mesh boots are stunning; there’s no other word for them.

If the amazing standard texture isn’t enough for you, the Regency have materials processing; you must see Strawberry Singh’s video demonstrating this.

I was lucky enough to catch Bax at the store when I went for a peek (there’s no vendor pic yet).

If you've heard rumors of the Lindens possibly killing the mesh deformer Bax used, don't worry for a second. She told me flatly she would provide a free update if that happens.

The Regency come with Fix Feet, the terrific feature that lets you straighten ankles bent by some poses, and by popular demand, Walk Sounds - what fetishist doesn’t love the sounds of high heels clicking on a hard floor? ;)

So, incredible fit whatever your shape, incredibly detailed textures (just zoom in on the zipper!), and a fashionable platform and stiletto heel... I think we’ll be seeing a lot of Regency around SL very soon.

lelo:
This one was a long time waiting but finally it made it out of the workplace and into the shop, well almost.

At last they are here overknee boots by Bax Coen, the boots all us boot junkies have been waiting for.

The boots are available in 7 leather colors, black, burgundy, pink, plum red and white, for now, but that’s how she started with her Prestige boots.

The boots come in 3 sizes: Standard, Plus and BBW just to give the collision bone deformer a head start, the standard fits both Mistress and me perfectly.

The foot shape is perfect with a fashionably fetishy platform and killer heels, add the beautiful texture and Bax’s eye for details and you have the standard overknee boot for SL.

Better run.. ohh wait,  just 2 or 3 nights sleep then run and get yours... *smiles*

DeVicious - Looks That Kill

Deirdre:
Another awesome little leather dress, this is Looks That Kill from DeVicious - well, leather and other things, but we’ll go with our strengths ;)

This is a strapless mini dress, and it’s a little tighter than some previous models - I actually needed the alpha to wear the Small size.

Steph included the alpha textures in full-perm versions so you can save and edit them if you want to adjust your hem just right. Not everyone will bother, but it’s great to have the option.

The Glow booties we showed you in April are included with Looks That Kill, and they look really good - I feel we skipped over them a bit quickly back then.

They’re cool spiked hidden platform boots, totally this year’s style. Black, leopard, pink, red and white are included, and the resize script is a breeze.

If you were looking for a hot mid-summer mini dress (well, fifty of them) to wear from dungeon to dance floor, look no further.

Also, here's a bit of advance notice - we'll have more details Friday:

DeVicious Photo Contest starts on Friday August 9th 2013

Next Friday we will launch the best and biggest Photo Contest in SL.

Every contestant will win a prize. We are giving away 700,000 L$ in cash and 400,000 L$ in prizes + approx. 900,000L$ in free gifts.

First Prize: 500,000 L$
Second Prize: 150,000 L$
Third Prize: 50,000 L$
Places 4-100 win prizes worth L$ 300,000
All participant get a free exclusive Limited Edition mesh outfit.

Sponsored by Ambrosia Club, Indyra Originals, Danika


lelo:
No toys tonight we are working on the fashionable part of the blog with another instalment of mesh skirts by DeVicious.

The dress comes in 7 sizes and with the included HUD you get 50 colors styles, 20 of which are leather textures.

The cut of the dress makes them a bit harder to fit than her usual so better be prepared to spend some time fitting your body into this one.

Still it’s more than worth the effort as these are super sexy dresses and with the included 50 textures there should be something for every occasion.

Did we mention the booties? the boots alone are worth the money and they are included for free in the set.

Utopia Design - Virgo

Deirdre:
If Utopia Design’s Virgo knee-high boots went under your radar, you’re not alone. We saw them recently at her store, and lelo liked them a lot so we suggested we could feature them.

When lelo asked Elisabetta how we had missed them, she explained that she had released them in a very busy period (October last year) and hadn’t notified any bloggers or done much advertising.

So, sometimes they’re not hot off the press - I hope you’ll still enjoy this.

Virgo are what I’d call a sixties-style platform, although heels were a bit chunkier then.

The texture is very good, and really has to be seen up close to be appreciated. The clever “clips” in front are just the kind of detail high fashion designers love to throw in on a plain seam.

A short fold-down cuff with points at the rear gives a bit of a pirate look to the boot.

The included hud is very easy to understand, showing visually what part of the boot is affected by clicking the buttons without using any text.

A nice retro boot that will complement a number of fetish or fashion outfits!

lelo:
Boots tonight, courtesy of Elisabetta at Utopia Design, presenting the Virgo Multi-texture boots.

The boots have a good 1960’s fetish look to them, high platform and heels that are in good balance with the rest of the boot, pulling them into the current century.

As with other boots we have shown you by Elisabetta, you get an easy multi paged HUD to adjust the textures on your boots.

There are 6 presets or you can change the 7 separate parts of the boots giving them your own custom look.

The third page of the HUD lets you resize them, adjust the sound level and pose yourself for the fitting.

We had to just push the boots up a bit as they were riding a bit low, but the rest of the fit was perfect, just make sure you make a copy before you start tinkering with them.

So great looking fetish boots that are borderline fashionable, so you won’t look out of place in a vanilla sim, but you can still enjoy your fetish.

XTC Leather - Supremacy

Deirdre:
I had a wonderful surprise yesterday. Our dear friend Xaviar Thunders mentioned that a site I showed him inspired a new outfit!

Heike, the Fetish Queen, is a German fetish model. She models tasteful, expensive leather and assorted fetishwear in the least porn-related way I have ever seen.

Aside from appearing on her own Web site, Heike is one of the catalog models for Crazy Outfits, the German store that makes the leather clothing she wears - the smartest arrangement I’ve seen.

So when Xav sent Supremacy over, lelo put it on and acquired a very recognizable Heike look :)

You’ll notice on the vendor pic a lovely pearl necklace, adding a very classy touch to the outfit. It is indeed an XTC product, but it’s sold separately.

(It used to irritate me when I saw in RL catalogs captions like “belt model’s own” on outfits shown with non-included accessories - Xav is smarter than that.)

So if you want a classy fetish look, head over to XTC - the vendor is right in the door, hard to miss.

lelo:
Leather tonight and you know that leather usually means XTC when we report on it.

Supremacy is a complete outfit, which is more fashionable than kinky, but there are moments that even we need to dress a bit more conservative.

You get the skirt in 3 sizes and 3 length, i’m showing the long version of the skirt, keep in mind even the short version still comes to mid thigh, sexy but not sluty.

For the top you have the choice of a tube top or a turtleneck in classic black and matching gloves are included in the set.

Finally there are the boots, which look great with that zipper on the back of them and worth the price of complete outfit in my humble opinion.

A Lolas applier is sold separately and no, these are my own girls, no help from modern plastics. *winks*

Perception - Leather Corset

Deirdre:
Perception is a nice fashion store, selling lovely clothes and damask mesh corsets. They recently introduced a leather line of corsets, so we had to pounce on that like a cat on a laser dot, of course :)

Available in overbust or underbust, the leather corset colors are black and red (modeled by moi), brown and pink (worn by lelo), green, white and purple.

Neck corsets are also available, sold separately.

The sizes are quite good, the XS small corset fit me with nearly no need for the alpha.

Full perm alpha textures are included in the box if you want to fine tune them to your body length, a move I will always praise when I see it.

The leather texture is quite good, and the black is not too black ;)

A new tipster tonight, big thank you to EmmaSunshine for the lead!

lelo:
Woohoo a new designer joins our blog and it’s a fashion designer going fetish, well using leather for her corsets. *smiles*

Introducing Perception by Maggiedoll Alter, who had a nice line of textile corsets already and now switched to a very good looking leather texture.

The corsets come in under- and overbust versions and she also sells matching neck corsets.

You get 7 sizes so they should fit most, but as usual try the free demo first so you won’t be disappointed, rigged mesh has its setbacks.

The alpha layer comes in 2 sizes and is included as a texture so you can make your own combinations.

Great looking corsets - have a good look at the lacing! - she spent a few hours on them, in fashionable leather colors.

Devicious - Magnificence and Out Of Your League

Deirdre:
Steph is turning into the queen of the little mesh dress in Second Life.

Between the 40-texture HUDs and boots included for free, she’s setting the bar extremely high for the competition.

I’m wearing Magnificence here, and once again, the XS fits me like a tight leather glove, barely even requiring the alpha - only for a few awkward poses.

The leather textures are simply terrific. The two-toned ones are on the Leather Doubles HUD, and the solids are on Stitched Leather. I understand there are some fabric ones included but who cares, right?

A professional pose stand (the size of a river raft!) is included in the box, and some face and body lights. Cool little extras.

Magnificence is really short. The one non-included thing you’ll need is panties ;)

lelo: 
Two more great-looking mesh dress outfits from Devicious tonight, Steph keeps making them faster than we can blog them.

I’m wearing Out Of Your League here, which comes with 14 textures, 7 different colors, 1 with a snakeskin look and a second that has a flower pattern over the snakeskin.

The dress comes in 5 sizes and should fit most human AV’s in SL, as usual try the demo before you buy.

Steph once again includes some good looking boots in the box, with mine you get the shoes in black, blue, brown, pink, red and white.

On the second picture you see the red and black version, add a Star Trek communicator badge and you can join Starfleet. *smiles*

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.

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.

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*

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

KDC - Knee High Pony Boots

Deirdre:
A new release from KDC - the new Knee High Pony Boots came out yesterday so I’d say this qualifies as “hot off the press”.

The KDC pony boots have a classic shape, with a very slight arch; a pony would be mostly on her toes. That’s not a bad thing; you *should* keep your pony on her toes ;)

The front lacing is not common on pony boots, but adds realistic detail, like the inside zippers.

The metal horseshoes are shiny but not chrome. A cool rear-support bit sticks out behind the hoof and makes standing in these boots more plausible-looking.

Have a look at Kyrah’s blog to see the development process she went through; I for one have a better appreciation of the amount of work that goes into our beloved fetish items since reading those posts.

lelo:
Woohoo a new release from Kyrah at KDC and she’s back at making pony gear. *smiles*

The pony boots are a beautiful mesh construct and can be fully stretched into shape.

I had to make them quite a bit taller, Kyrah is what you might call a bit petite compared to me.

The boots are copy so you know the drill; make backups before you start tinkering with them.

Clicking on the boots gives you access to the visual and sound settings of the boots.

There are 5 areas you can color: the horseshoe, the lace, the boot, the hoof and the heel.

Each area has their own textures, from leather for the boots to wood for the heel, and the textures are quite amazing.

Only thing you might want on these boots would be a locking option, but then a RLV relay should be able to take care of that.

Get them while they are hot, well i’m sure they will stay hot until Kyrah builds new ones, still run run run... *winks*

Kcreations - Leather Vest

Deirdre:
We had Kat’s vest and I was thinking “Is it fetish enough, though?”. Then I decided, it’s awesome leather with a cool floppy collar. What’s not to love, really?

Kat will try to tell you this is a quickie job, but I say only compared to her usual months-long development process where she learns to launch spaceships around Mars so that the skirt folds look just right.

This mesh vest is a really inexpensive item for the quality, but when you visit Kat’s elegant little store, look for her lovely Dragon Mesh Dress, which she still sells at 10L$ (there are 12 versions - go nuts!)

The Fetish Spot is no more, but I’ll always remember the Dragon Dress warmly, as Kat just plunged and made it, a brand new item, when I suggested cheapies for promotion.

The textures are great up close, the shine is great from a distance. The floppy collar is totally in fashion right now, and I’m wearing the small size without an alpha - this is fast becoming my criterion for fit.

You’re nearly convinced to click that slurl but not quite? Well how about free mesh t-shirts and a developer’s kit to make your own designs? It’s right at the LZ - go, go! :)

lelo:
“get it off me, please” *winks* must be a first for me wearing jeans and having pictures to prove it.

But that’s not tonight's main story, Kat’s leather mesh vest is - and it might be a simple item but as usual it looks amazing.

You get the vest in 5 sizes, there is an alpha layer and also the alpha textures are included.

You’ll also find a HUD that will let you choose 32 different colored textures, including 4 with BDSM written on it.

You can also change the shine and tint of the texture, giving you endless color options.

So add some jeans *shudders* or leather pants and get on your hog... enjoy.

XTC Leather - Ruby Leather Catsuit

Deirdre:
I don’t know what happened to Ruby - it fell in the cracks of my inventory, and we forgot to feature it when it came out.

A recent visit to XTC reminded me about it, as it’s right in the New area. So it’s not this-week new but it’s still awesome, better late than never, yada.

We shared a few Mord-Sith like costumes with you over the years but this is the real deal. Ox-blood red for me, and (non canon but pretty darn hot!) black for lelo.

The ornate belt is very well captured, and the folds and shine show that Xav is a real leather lover. He even adapted his excellent leather boots to Ruby, matching the deep blood red - they’re sold separately, but they're not expensive at all.

Ruby is on the pants and shirt layer, allowing you to wear a jacket if you feel the generous décolleté needs a bit of covering up.

Just because I like to spoil you rotten, here’s a large picture of the original character - and I mean “suitable for poster-printing” large, mmkay? You’re welcome ;)

lelo:
Leather tonight, which usually means XTC and no exception this time, Xaviar is still the master of SL leather.

Ruby comes in two colors, the classic black, or noir as Xaviar calls it and in red or ruby.

As you might expect with a XTC outfit you’ll get the catsuit in top and pants layer, giving you room for underwear and a nice jacket.

The gloves are optional, but really finish the outfit, could be me but i feel naked without them. *smiles*

Another great basic outfit from XTC, you just need to add some boots - either Xav's or others - and you are set to roam the fetish side of SL, or go all out and make it the base of an amazing personalized look.

DeVicious - Vanity And Intuition Dress

Deirdre:
Good thing I wear leather gloves a lot - this one is so hot off the press I could have burned my fingers. If you want to see what I mean, check out the date on our third pic ;)

The dress in our first pic is Vanity, and the XS size fits me like a glove, no alpha needed. Three texture HUDs give 20 Mixed Fabrics (1 and 2) and 10 Leather Dresses; we’re wearing the latter here.

The leather texture is good up close, our full-body pictures don’t do it justice. The scrunchy boots are fun and give a great club look.

Intuition, the second dress, did require me to wear the alpha for a good fit. The gorgeous folds and stitching on the leather textures really make this one stand out.

The same scrunchy boots are included, and the folds stand out better in white.

It seems that Hardline, the first DeVicious outfit we featured in 2011, is one of the most-downloaded items on Marketplace - 118,000 times!

It’s still free, and now red is included along with the black. Pick it up here: https://marketplace.secondlife.com/p/DeVicious-Hardline-FREE-OUTFIT/1895465

And just for fun, here’s a prediction I made back then, which I believe came true in a way that places me in the top psychics in America:

“Keep an eye on DeVicious.. it’s going places, and we’ll be here to show you the cool new designs as they arrive :)”

lelo:
These are two of the newest mesh dresses from Steph at DeVicious, it’s hard to keep up with her.

Vanity comes with 5 boots in black, blue, pink, red and white, the Intuition sadly only gives you the black and white boots.

Once again it amazes me how she can include boots this good for free in the kit, other designers would charge you quite a bit of money for them.

The Vanity has an amazing fit, i did have to resize my girls a bit but it’s well worth it to wear this dress without the alpha layer.

One bit of warning, not wearing alpha means you’ll need some underwear, especially in SL with it’s cam freedom. *winks*

Karu Karu - Zora Catsuit and Jenna Boots

Deirdre:
Chane’s discounts are always awesome, and this week is no exception.

The Zora catsuit is not new, but I imagine this fun bright green one is, and it comes with a surprise: the Lolas Tango appliers, instead of being sold separately, are included with the green Zora.

A cool transparent suit is included as underwear layer, covering you from neck to ankles.

That makes the pants pants-layer only, which will require you to shorten them a bit (mine are at 80%) in your Appearance menu if you want to wear them with boots.

The Jenna boots are at a great discount as well, so expect a few Karu fans to wander around in black and green soon.. hey, maybe there’s a superhero theme there. Green Karu! ;)

The Jenna suffer a bit from the black on black syndrome, but they’re great fashion boots: a bit slouchy, with straps from top to bottom. Hey, I had slouch boots in the eighties!

So, you know the drill.. hurry to Karu Karu, save lots of money, thank your favorite bloggers ;)

lelo:
Some great offers from Karu Karu tonight, a catsuit and boots.

Lets start with the boots, they are lovely fashionable boots, with a great leather texture, only real downside is the fact that they are so low heeled they hurt my feet. *winks*

The boots are quite small in the box but the included resizer will take care of that in seconds.

For the catsuit you get the option of wearing it with an opened or closed top and bottom, though that last one would need a lot of parent guidance.

You also get a lovely smoky transparent catsuit and matching gloves in the package.

Lolas appliers are included for both top options, though the Lolas can’t be combined with the underwear.

So get them while the gettin' is good, these offers don’t last forever....

Erratic - Tory Mesh Leather Jacket

Deirdre:
Our friend Mel Melville was wearing a cool dress the other day, and pointed me to Erratic when I asked where it was from.

The dresses were indeed very nice, but I saw a shortie biker jacket and it cried mama - what could I do? I took it home ;)

I was impressed by all the colors: 12 different ones, available as a fatpack (works out to half the price, a good saving).

The black has good highlights but a fair bit of black on black. The colors stand out better; the pink is really bright, for example.

The shape of the jacket is really excellent. I’m wearing the XS and barely need the alpha.

Speaking of alphas, Erratic includes the texture with full perm (it’s boxed to avoid confusion, I assume) so old viewer users like us can add it with Appearance, Alphas.

Sometime soon this won’t be so necessary as Phoenix and others will die, but right now I’m very happy when I see this. It means a designer pays attention.

So great shape, great textures, attention to detail.. there’s a lot to love here. It’s not cheap, but you do get good value.

Visit Erratic’s big, beautiful store when you have a lot of time... and money ;)

lelo:
I told you last thursday and i’ll tell you again Mistress is a sucker for a good looking leather jacket.

So another jacket tonight, this time a mesh version by Erratic Rain, who simply calls her store Erratic. *smiles*

In the box you will find the jacket in 5 sizes, which are a bit big, i’m wearing the XS here, where i mostly wear a L.

You’ll also find a HUD that lets you change the color of the zipper in 3 metallic colors.

As you would expect there is a alpha included to make the jacket fit and as Mistress already told you the full perm alpha texture.

So great looking leather jacket in 12 fashionable colors, only question that remains is, will she be offering one in rubber. *winks*
