Fetish Cheapies

A couple of nice inexpensive bits of fetishwear fiendishly priced to get you in the store tonight ;)

We showed you the lovely Tiffany ankle boots by Karu Karu a long while back.

We also showed them to you when they were sold by someone else, but that’s the nature of bought sculpts.

Chane is now selling Tiffany in Ruby - matching her signature color - at 99L$ instead of the regular 249. That won’t last long, so don’t wait if you want them :)

PoC also has a good cheapie but that one’s a group gift : the Tessa sheer set, in Amber color, for the low price of 69L$

So do visit those fine fetish establishments, and if your eye is caught by something else and impulse buying happens, these little gifts did their job ;)

Marianne’s Boutique - Odessa and Marla

Deirdre:

Another old friend we haven’t featured in ages, we caught Marianne in the middle of a move and she still took time to show us her latest release, Odessa.

And since you’d get tired of seeing lelo naked eventually, we went to see the new store and I got her the Marla dress in pink :)

Odessa is a cool leather outfit with bunches of good straps and laces and bare skin. Actually, not really bare; you’ll note a cool healthy glow on my skin here and there, courtesy of Odessa.

And if you’re anywhere near a light source, you’ll see that any lighter part of the body glows a lot harder than it used to in old viewers.

Do visit Marianne’s new store, we have the new slurl here and in older posts (lelo’s good that way), and have a peek around the store for freebies - I’ll give you one name to help, “Valerie” - have fun :)

lelo:
Woohoo i’m wearing the dress tonight, which comes out of the latex collection at Marianne’s boutique.

You won’t be surprised that the folder of Marla is pretty empty, just a top, some pants and a prim skirt, but this is one more example of less is more.

You might know that i’m a sucker for prim skirts like this, i just love the way they move when you walk.

The dress comes in pink, gold, silver, red, purple and baby blue so there should be a color suiting your taste.

The cut of the dress is very skimpy and in this pink it’s a bimbo must-have, so run but be careful in those high heels. *winks*

XTC Leather - Oblivion Leather and Metal

Deirdre:

Xav does it again! How does he keep it fresh and hot every release? He must be a baker, that’s my theory ;)

Oblivion is a peek-a-boo leather catsuit with metal underwear in the best Red Sonya tradition.

There are a number of cool details on the catsuit: sleeve buttons reprised on the chest and the front of the thighs, bits of chainmail at the wrists, and a number of visible seams. The neck has a cross cut-out that is visible at a good distance.

The huge front and back cutouts are pretty striking. This is designed to show off the chainmail bikini, of course, and it sure does that. (Wear the chainmail top without the leather jacket to find as close to an Easter egg as I’ve ever seen in a SL outfit!)

You could conceivably wear a light catsuit under the leather but you’ll look like a panda - better stick with the chainmail.

The boots look good, although the pattern fades to grey from not too far away.

They are no-script, for which sim owners will love you, and you can easily resize them with standard SL controls. Just be careful, they’re no copy.

An original, inexpensive, versatile complete outfit. Thanks again, Xav :)

lelo:
Some lovely leather for Mistress tonight, i got stuck with a metal bikini, did you know that stuff pinches? *winks*

Just kidding, it’s a lovely set, where you can wear the bikini by itself or wear it under the leather catsuit.

The other way around is a bit harder if you want to stay PG, Xavier did add nipple tape, but the cut out is very deep…

You also get the XTC boots in the set as well as a pair of fingerless gloves in the same metal as the bikini.

Just figured out why Xaviar included the nipple tape, ahh… much better no more pinching. *smiles*

Hugo's Design - Gani

Deirdre:

Gani is Hugo’s latest release. It’s in a solid color plus black details, the reverse of Erik’s recent designs.

It’s a handsome swimsuit in the closed version, and a naughty play outfit in the open version (not shown).

As the rear is fairly skimpy, we chose to show you the front in a few different colors.

I’m definitely adopting the black as my new swimsuit.

A certain hot tub at Bahia has recently become my informal conference room and gossip trading area :)

lelo:
What do you get when you add stocking and gloves to a Brazilian style bathing suit, well a Hugo’s Design’s outfit of course *winks*

There are two options with this one, the closed version shown here and an open one which, well, didn’t cost Erik a lot of fabric.

The texturing is the quality we have come to expect from Hugo’s, i do love the stockings with the seam, i’m just an old fashioned girl. *smiles*

As always Erik supplies you with all possible layers so it’s made for mixing and matching, especially as it doesn’t cover much.

Wear the swimsuit over a brightly colored catsuit, find yourself a matching cape and you can start fighting crime on the mean streets of SL.

Hugo's Design - Gia

Deirdre:

Here’s a cool innovation from Hugo’s Design : striped latex! The outfit is called Gia, and is available in the usual Hugo rainbow.

This outfit just puts me in mind of saloon dancers; add a big hat with feathers, lots of petticoats and a parasol, and you’re there.

Gia should grow into a range, according to Bianka’s press release; I’m curious to see how stripes mix with buckles :)

The latex shine still comes through, although it’s more muted on the baby pink; for once the problem is white on white.

The stocking stripes end at the foot; maybe they looked odd going all the way down. Ankle boots seemed to be the way to go in keeping with the burlesque theme.

lelo:
A new Hugo tonight and seems he has gone all stripy on us. *winks*

As usually you get a lot of options with this outfit, in most layers and 4 quick change tattoo layers.

Main part of the outfit is the underbust corset, which is nicely striped and zippered.

There are 4 options for the breasts, solid or sheer pasties, a full bra and well naked of course.

Down below you get stocking, a sturdy garter belt and a micro string panties.

Finally he added what he calls a shoulder shawl that holds up the long opera style gloves.

Ohh and notice how Victoria’s multi color shoes fit the outfit, making the color match was child's play.

NV Corsetry - Envy and Ordained

Deirdre:
We saw a notice go by a few weeks back with our old friend Lexie’s name on it, mentioning a new corset store, NV.

We dropped by the elegant, classy store and were pleased to meet the owner. We had a fun chat at his workshop, and were invited to pick a few items for review.

The gorgeous black leather of Ordained immediately caught my eye; this is some of the best leather textures (yes, more than one) on a prim item I have ever seen. In fact, here's a closeup.

Fitting any prim corset in SL is a challenge, but the script included in the NV definitely make things a lot easier.

I’m wearing the full Ordained outfit here, nice top and shrug with prim cuffs, plus good pants (they had cuffs too but they displaced my Prestige.. capital sin!).

This is a very promising store by an experienced designer.. we’ll definitely keep an eye open for the new developments.

lelo:
Another name joins the ranks of corset makers in SL, Khurt is going to try and surpass Rosal, good luck, competition is always good for quality.

The texture on these corsets is very good, but they do suffer the usual problems you get with prim corsets.

On the upside these corsets come with one of the best sizing options yet, you can re-size every direction at once or do it by the separate axis.

And when you have found your perfect fit you can save it for later use, how's that for ease of use.

We went for the full outfits, adding in the case of Envy some great boudoir style underwear and to finish your burlesque look you get a nice prim skirt.

Ohh, almost forgot this part, but his "wear this to unpack" bag is a stroke of genius.

Plausible Body - French Maid

Deirdre
I must live in Serendip. I called Roslyn to say hi as it had been a while since we did anything Plausible (my life is so implausible that you just wouldn’t believe it.)

Lo, a new French Maid outfit had just come out recently. Turns out she’s a maid outfit fanatic, as she says - fun!

Roslyn had an idea that it wouldn’t sell so well at Latexia so it wasn’t at her stall there. I told her that all rubberdolls have a secret French Maid heart - we’ll see if sales confirm my theory ;)

The outfit is really lovely, and quite detailed - lots of fun little prim parts to adjust, and I’ll admit I missed the coif but I’m feeling lazy and I’m not re-shooting.

The shoes will only work with a v2 viewer, unless you feel adventurous and add an invisiprim to them yourself - they *are* mod.

As with other Plausible Body items, the outfit is open::price, which means you pay what you can. And as with their other items, there’s some very good work here, so I’ll encourage you to be generous.

lelo
Well seems i somehow drew the short straw again and ended up nearly naked, still the real news is Mistress in a maid's dress. *winks*

As you can see, the outfit comes in a living room and bedroom version, still both are sexy as hell.

The clean clothlayer parts are enhanced with 8 frilly prims, giving the outfit just the right French look.

You get two dusters in the pack, one scripted with 4 cleaning animations the other is a lag-friendly scriptless version.

So if you need a maid for the living room and the bedroom this kit is for you, and be kind when you pay, she did put a lot of work into it.

Carrie’s Lingerie - Wrath Corset

Deirdre
On this special day of Thanksgiving for our American friends, let us give thanks for the seven deadly sins, and in particular, Wrath.

(Witch! Burn her!) Ok, just kidding ;) This lovely outfit by Carrie’s Lingerie is one in a series.. sixth when we visited the store, with one more to come.

The Sins are a cooperation between stores; to get the full effect as shown in the vendor pic, you can get (separately) the skin, eyes, shape, jewelry and so on.

As for the outfit itself, it’s quite a lovely thing of leather and buckles, with flame highlights for that wrathful effect :)

Full-fashioned seamed stockings complete the outfit - lelo’s wearing them here with VvB’s excellent six-inch heeled Court pumps.

Carrie’s is a big, interesting store, and when we dropped in, helpful friendly staff assisted us. Do drop by, and don't forget to tell them who sent you!

lelo
One more corset this week and we didn’t even plan it that way.

The wrath corset comes with 2 options : with or without garters, and with or without the leather panel behind the front buckles.

You also get a pair of buckled stockings with the classic seam on the back and a pair of flamed and buckled gauntlets.

With gauntlets i don’t mean the steel medieval kind but the lovely hand-less gloves i’m wearing.

The supplied panties match the (jacket layer) corset perfectly so you can be descent when not wearing the corset over a catsuit.

Finally there is “coat” included in the pack which is more like a very, very short bolero, hardly reaching the tops of your breast and having long sleeves.

Sadly you can’t combine both the corset and the coat, but the coat does look great one a nice catsuit.

Chaospire - Indulge

Deirdre
A tip from a friend - Hi Eloise! - brought us to Chaospire, and I have to say, I like the designs I saw there. Gothic, Fantasy, and a couple of other good genres... including lingerie, obviously :)

This is Indulge, a lovely lingerie set with matching gloves and stockings.

Devyn Grimm, the designer, has the earliest birthdate of anyone I know in SL : April 2003.

While there’s no automatic relation between being long in the world and quality designs, well, this is clearly delicate and careful work - the soft reflections show an experienced eye.

The Chaospire outfits are transfer, so don’t hesitate to buy them for gifts. Price is quite reasonable for this level of quality.

Keep an eye on Devyn’s blog for new developments.

lelo
Woohoo, lingerie tonight and from a, for us, new designer, isn’t life great. *smiles*

Indulge comes in 2 version, the closed one i’m wearing and a more daring version you can see in the vendor picture, the one with the little hearts.

Top and bottom come in underwear and shirt/pants layer, you also get a pair of matching gloves and stockings.

The outfit has a dull rubbery shine, which i really like, the red and white stitching's look lovely and the lacy edges really are a must on lingerie, so he’s spot on there.

To put it in Mistress’s words, “Awesomely sexy and spankable rear” though i’m not sure if she meant me or the outfit. *winks*
