LaVa - KinkyBoots

Everybody's going for those kinky boots, kinky boots,
(boop, boop)
Kinky boots... see the rest here
Patrick Macnee and Honor Blackman (seriously!) 

Deirdre:

How’s that for vintage? ;) Kinky boots have been around a while, and LaVa just jumped into the ring with a very decent offering, featuring a very high platform and heel laceup knee-high.

While they require a bit of adjustment, the included script gives you a lot of options in that direction.

Lelo figured out immediately that XYZ was proportional resize, but there is also resizing in all axes, one at a time or in pairs - you’re smart, you don’t need the permutations spelled out.

The colors are slightly darker in world than the vendor pics suggest. They look good, but don’t be looking for pastel, this ain’t it.

Excellent details on the boot include an inside-calf zipper and authentic textured laces.

Just cause we love you so much, here’s a fun fan-made video with the Avengers’ (the original team!) Kinky Boots song:

lelo:
Some lovely fetish boots tonight we found at Latexania Valeska’s store LaVa.

I’m sure these boots are modeled after Pleaser Boots and that’s a good thing i do love the boots Pleaser makes and yes they also have ballets. *winks*

With the boots you’ll get a smart little heel sound HUD that should work with all your silent shoes and boots.

As Mistress already told you the resizing is done by the script inside the boot, which can be deleted when you are done to keep your local sim server happy, just keep a copy of the boots for when you shapeshift.

The boots come in violet, red, white, black, blue, green, yellow, lime, mint, orange and pink, and have that great latex shine we all love so much. *smiles*

LaVa - Holesuit

Deirdre:

It’s from LaVa. It’s a suit. It has holes. ;)

No, no, that’s not the full review.. wait, come back!

So. This lovely and original catsuit by LaVa is called Holesuit, and it features a fun peek-a-boo design with good colors filling the holes.

I snapped lelo while she was blinking, producing a pretty funny derp picture (whiskey will do that too, she says). This is the sort of thing I could never have done on purpose... ah, well. Quick reshoot and curse at Murphy, and we’re up and posting.

The color textures are good, and the transparent tints (yellow in our pics) are fairly bright, not so pale that everyone will notice at first glance.

There are a ton of options which I will let my sweetie describe. Visit LaVa and support one of the few latex stores not using Marketplace.

lelo:
Well here is a catsuit with a twist or better holes. *winks*

When you open the box you will find quite a few items and with them options.

All in all 28 clothing items, including the quick change tattoo layers, there are 5 of them in the box.

4 give you the different possible versions and there is a “kragen” or collar moving the catsuit higher up the neck than the cloth layers will allow.

The 4 options you get are all based on the black catsuit with the holes and give you different fill-ins for the holes.

There is the net we show with the black version (but this one it the same in all versions), the full (shown here in pink), the trans version (shown in yellow) and there also is a bare version (not shown here).

You get every version in all layers so you can mix the layers, giving you net over a colored catsuit, a great look.

Ohh and there are a pair of black gloves included in the kit... just thought i would mention them. *smiles*

So have fun playing with the layers and make your own version.

LaVa - WaspSuit

Deirdre
We caught a glimpse of the LaVa Wasp Suit at Latexia (I think the dolls are about to make me honorary sister, I spend so much time there) and I thought, we haven’t featured LaVa in a while.. voila.

The outfit is inspired by a pretty awesome fetish drawing by Ed Mironiuk (www.edmironiuk.com, 9th row, 2nd from the left) and I say inspired because Latexania definitely put her own touches on it.

And since the original looked so good with a gas mask and ballet boots, lelo generously agreed to model it the same way. Like that took a whole lot of convincing ;)

The catsuit design is quite spectacular. The black and white segments totally convey the insect body feeling, and a clever insect-eye design on the breasts will give a headache to anyone who stares too long.

The hood looks quite good even without the gas mask, so don’t feel you need to run out and get one. This is an attractive and distinctive outfit on its own.

Dark Refuge has an inconvenient fixed landing zone, so to find the store, go almost due west. LaVa is located behind BlumenStein Enterprises.

lelo
Another catchy one tonight, this time by Latexania from LaVa.

You get 13 clothlayer items and one prim in the box, giving you all layers and 2 options for the top.

One closed like in the pictures and one with a fishnet covering, luckily Latexania supplies a pair of pasties to make things more or less PG.

The prim part is a ear cover to hide your ears sticking out of the tattoo layer mask (yay, that’s my own face under it).

The suit comes in all LaVa’s colors: pink, violet, blood, orange, white, red and yellow. Though being a waspsuit, yellow is the way to go.

The LaVa Buckled Corset comes in the same colors and is a great addition to complete the outfit.

So all you need is a stinger and you can buzz off... *winks*

Latex Fashion Week at Dark Refuge

Latexiana Valeska, the designer at LaVa we covered last June, is holding a week-long latex fashion event at club Dark Refuge.

The club is pretty goth, a little fetish, yet vanilla-friendly. (I don’t know how well that works, but hey, they didn’t ask my advice.)

It’s also mostly German, which explains the Europe party times.

LaVa - Buckled Latex Corset Black/Red

Deirdre:
A lovely jacket-layer corset by LaVa, this one is called Buckled Latex Corset Black/Red for obvious reasons ;)

As it happened, I was still wearing the gorgeous Omnisuit by Tandael and my big cape, looking like a classic superheroine, when I tried the corset on - it looks like it was made for the Omnisuit.

But to show it off properly, I pulled out of the wardrobe one of my awesome KCreations catsuits : the look is blood red, with blood red PixelFashion boots, and a blood-red.. um, no, the corset is black with red straps.

The straps and buckles are quite detailed, and it’s easy to forget it’s clothes layer only.

If I could wish for one thing, it might be to have the corset in all layers, for easier mix-and-match.

Other than that, a great addition to your fetish wardrobe.

lelo:
Ok by now you should know we look for items where ever we are, using the inspect option more than once a night.

And lately we have been getting suggestions from friends, designers and readers, which makes our lives quite a bit easier, SL is still a big place. *winks*

But this one took us a bit by surprise, a designer putting us on the trail of another designer.

The little bunker of a store on Refuge Island showed a couple of nice catsuits and the promised corsets.

This little buckled number caught our eye, so have a look i know you’ll like what you’ll see.
