KK - Sculpted Feet Latex Strap Sandals

Deirdre:
You know how I love a good exclusive : how's "just released today" for fresh news?

Introducing Kayliwulf's FetishDoll X Sculpted Feet Latex Strap Pumps.

Toe sandals are all the rage - it's great to see real toes instead of the ugly standard "sock" feet on our avatars.

These Kayliwulf shoes compare favorably to other toe sandals that sell for three times the price - I'm not naming names ;)

The ankle strap helps you hide the joint between foot and leg, and the sandals are available in all 42 Kayliwulf flavors - er, colors.

The toenails are tinted to match the sandal, a fun detail.

Word from a usually reliable source (a certain Mr Lazarus L.) is, more shoes will be coming from Kayliwulf in the very near future - stay tuned to this blog!

lelo:
The heel looks amazingly good and the foot shape is very natural, if steep, but that's a good thing in my book. *smiles*

i love the red foot-bed of the shoe, giving it a nice little accent.

The skin color can be adjusted with a easy to use HUD, though as i've been using a KK skin from almost the beginning i could use the default setting.

The shoes have the usual KK menu for sound, bling and AO.

With a prim load of 23 per shoe the linden servers will love these shoes, so we better all switch to them to reduce the overall lag inSL. *winks*

Alessandra - Chain Hot Suit & Dress Pink

Deirdre:
Alessandra is one of the designers who showed at the LFFW. While chatting with lelo, she made a very smart suggestion, and we pounced on it.

Recognizing (and stealing!) good ideas is almost as good as having them yourself.

She suggested we review the Chain suit and dress, not because it's brand new, but because it's her top seller.

New is great and all, but popular is also interesting to know if you're a shopper.

Hence, the not new but popular Chain outfit. It's fun in a bare, peek-a-boo way - not my favorite, as anyone looking at lelo and myself will have guessed.

Is it disco? A little bit, I think. Well, the eighties are in, this week. Pick one up and dance the night away!

lelo:
For our first item from Alessandra we took her all time best sold item, chain hot suit and dress, which has been around for a while but still looks fresh.

As you would expect from the name you get two versions a dress and pantsuit, both share the same top, but give a totally different look.

The dress is ultra short and uses a nicely textured prim part to overcome the shortcomings of the standard SL short skirts.

The pants have a nice chain detail on the right leg, making them extra sexy.

The top doesn't leave much to the imagination but covers the vital area's.

Alessandra uses a very good looking texture which has a slight shine and a very good fade from light at the top to dark at the bottom.

Addictions - Dangerous

Deirdre:
Dangerous... what a great name for this gorgeous outfit from Addictions.

You get : two guns, a dagger in your left boot, some rope on your belt (I thought it was a whip - silly me), a silver cross (to keep Bloodlines creeps away), with some cool claws on the silver chain.. bullets, grenades..

Oh, and a really cool outfit, too ;)

Lots of straps and buckles everywhere - which I love, a wicked trench coat over a catsuit - Underworld, anyone?

In fact, it looks like Dangerous is the favorite outfit of Nightshade, the Metaverse's First Secret Agent :



lelo:
here is another great new one from Marijane, you just have to love the things she comes up with.

The partly prim trench coat looks great, though loses something due to the black on black effect.

For ease of fitting all the prims have a resizing script, no shooting script in the guns though. *winks*

The sturdy boots go great with the outfit but i rather see Mistress in some nice heels.

I just wonder what we'll be hunting when Mistress puts on this on. *smiles*

It's amazing to watch how Marijane's skills seem to improve exponentially.

Squeaky Rubber - Circuit Catsuit

Today is a pretty amazing day for us. One year ago today, we began this little blog, dipping in our inventories and sharing with you the cool stuff we had found here and there. There are so many places and vendors, it's pretty hard to see everything in Second Life. We get shopping exhaustion! But the joy of meeting the cool folks who make the great clothes and boots and toys hasn't paled, and it looks like we'll keep at this for a long time. Here's hoping you're having as much fun reading us as we do writing it every day. Happy birthday to us, happy birthday to us, happy birthday, happy birthday, happy birthday to us... Cake for every one... Deirdre & lelo

Deirdre:
Squeaky Rubber never ceases to delight us.

Introducing the Circuit line of catsuits - I'm sad to say they've been sitting in our closet for a month, but I plead busy on LFFW.

The color combinations are awesome, the white in particular just blew my mind.

The price is very reasonable for the excellent quality.. go on, get a couple. Or go nuts, and get them all ;)

lelo:
Now here is something you don't see every day, a fun texture on a catsuit, and it continues the robotic theme we had yesterday.

A simple 4 piece outfit in underwear layer, so you can use it as a base for other clothing.

They come in 4 fun color combinations, something for every one i think.

The shine is somewhere between POC and Kayliwulf and the texture that gives the catsuit it's name gives it a futuristic look.

So if you love to run around the space sim's or are into cybernetics these are for you and if you are simply looking for a good looking catsuit.. well go ahead and buy them. *winks*

Kayliwulf Kingdom - Palace Guard

Deirdre:
Introducing Palace Guard, Kayliwulf's newest design.

It's wildly original: a shiny robot look over a transparent latex catsuit.

I suppose it is meant to look like armor, but the first thing I thought about when I saw this outfit was Sorayama's Sexy Robot art.

The boots look terrific, sporting the #4 heel we love, and the shine doesn't hurt one bit.

If you get a few girls dressed in this outfit - to guard your palace or whatever - drop me a line, I absolutely want to see it :)

lelo:
So this is what a female Cylon must look like, "by your command...", hmmm sounds natural to me. *winks*

This is a 16 part outfit which has only 3 clothlayer parts, so it seems Laz has been busy with prims.

As with all prim clothes it takes a while to get them to fit right and a good pose stand is a must.

The scripting in the prims helps with the fitting as all have a scaling function, for the separate prims or all the prims in the object.

The shoe shape is great, as is the helmet, which i love, the chestplate is lethal but a nice touch.

Keep an oil can handy and have some robotic fun with this outfit. *smiles*

Elixir - Latex Raincoat

Deirdre:
Elixir is one of the designers who participated in the LFFW, and we just had to go see for ourselves what other goodies were at the store.

First thing that caught my eye when we came in was this lovely latex raincoat.

Khorus told me that the transparent version was inspired by Blade Runner, so here's the link to the video. (just the link - you may remember that this is the scene where Zhora gets killed.)

This is a really detailed item. I thought the whole thing was prim when I first saw it - it's that good. But there's a jacket layer, so you'll want to plan your outfits accordingly.

The big upturned collar is great, and along with the cuffs, gives the "solid" effect. Adjust the height and position to fit your shape - easily done.

And I don't want to give away any future posts, but we've seen a lot of great men's wear at Elixir, and we now know some good male models.. stay tuned ;)

lelo:
This was a new one for us, latex raincoats isn't something you see much around SL.

The box contains 5 parts making up the raincoat, it uses the jacket cloth layer and 4 prim items making up the collar, cuffs and flexy skirt tails.

The shine of the latex is quite good, the transparent version has a slight tint so you can just see it.

The flexy skirt really makes this jacket come alive and hardly needed any adjustment.

Anyone know a rainy sim we can go to try these out?

Mesmerize Dungeon - Gasmask

Deirdre:
A wild new design from Mesmerize Dungeon, called simply Gasmask. The name is the only thing that is plain about it, though.

The look varies from a plain gas mask with air filter, to the pretty kinky rebreather, to the outrageous and huge alien horns (not pictured, we'll leave you the surprise!).

The prims are detailed and attractive - the buckles at the back are a good example. And as lelo pointed out to me, they face the right way ;)

Texture is good, and the joint between the face and head pieces shows very nice attention to detail.

A great toy for the RLV fans and other assorted bondage bunnies of SL.

lelo:
Another new toy in my collection, Mistress is spoiling me. *smiles*

As with the ballet boots from MD the scripting is solid and you get loads of options.

First of all you get the usual RLV options and i won't go into them here.

Then there are the look options, the spikes on the mask and collar can be turned on and off, there are a pair of alien horns.

You can choose a re-breather as shown, a filter or just the mask.

Most parts can be colored in the following colors: red, white, yellow, orange, pink. purple, blue, gray, green and black, luckily there is a "all" button.

Then there are the restricting options, speech can be garbled in 4 strictness levels, there is an alien mode (going with the horns i guess) in which only other gas-mask wearing people can hear you.

Your sight can be restricted with a HUD in 7 levels.

More than enough options to keep you busy for weeks if not months. *winks*

I would love to go on about all the options, but we want to keep these posts under 1 page of text, so better get your own mask and start exploring...

WarDoom - Natalie

Deirdre:
One of these two must be the evil twin.. I just don't know which one ;)

Introducing Natalie, Wardoom's latest line of lower priced boots.

We just laid hands on them Sunday. New, new, new!

This is the bare version, the trademark Wardoom spikes and straps will be added on upcoming versions.

The knees look quite good when lelo sits - sadly we've seen other boots that look a bit odd that way.

I love the new heel, it's quite elegant. Another win for Wardoom.

lelo:
Finally a new boot by WarDoom, these are totally new, well mostly.

Tanja recycled the script of the Elfe boots, so you can control the gloss, sound and if the boot has a heel.

The heel is new and looks very lethal so everything is good there. *winks*

I would advise you to get the latex versions shown here, they have a new texture that looks very good.

A promising start to a new series of boots, i can't wait untill Tanja makes her spike and belt magic happen.

Ohh and Tanja is planning to make her first platform boots in this series, but don't tell her i told you, all still hush, hush.... smiles*

Kayliwulf Kingdom - Stealth Corps

Deirdre:
An oldie this week : Stealth Corps, from Kayliwulf Kingdom.

Inspired by the fifties science-fiction pulp covers, the helmet, jet pack and "gravity gun" nicely complement the outfit.

Of course, if you want an authentic pulp look, you'll wear a transparent catsuit and hold an arm in front of your breasts ;)

We haven't suggested this one in a while so I'll remind you : costume contests!

lelo:
This is an oldie but goodie and in time for this years Halloween.

The 16-part outfit comes complete with grey boots and gloves which end in black prim tops, giving them a 3D look.

The belt looks like a chastity belt, and that's not a bad thing. *winks*

The helmet looks great against a light background, but be aware that it doesn't work with long hair, so i wore my hood (not included!).

An air-tank and gun complete the look, "... Recreant,... lelo Recreant..", sorry couldn't let that one go by. *smiles*

All in all, a fun outfit, i especially like the way the grey of the gloves and boots look

Latex Station - Nerea

Deirdre:
That's a few more spikes than lelo usually wears, but it looks good : introducing is Nerea, from Latex Station.

The camo colors are pretty authentic, I think. If you need to hide in a snowy mountain, this is for you ;)

Like other Latex Station outfits we covered - seems like months ago! - Nerea comes in three colors : 531, shown here, a cool blue version called 744, and a yellow-brown-green one called 326.

Couples who dress alike will be pleased : there are male versions, in more colors. What, men have more to hide? ;)

lelo:
14 piece latex outfit from latex station, another one in our combat series. *winks*

lots of tough looking spiked belts with this one and the spikes on the gloves are a great feature.

You get the choice of 3 tops with this one, a long and a short camo top and a mesh shirt which can be worn under the long camo shirt.

The knife on the thigh belt is a fun detail, though i'm not the violent kind, it might come in handy at the next sales.

The theme of the outfit calls for combat boots, but i combined it with the N-Core Stylus heels, just to make it a bit more sexy. *smiles*

SHi Sexy Fashion - Pepper Short Boots

Deirdre:
I don't have that many ankle boots, so it's great to find this cute pair from SHi.

They are not new, if I read the note in the box correctly (and that note is pure genius : one thing SL misses is some sort of date system on items).

And when I say pair, well. One pair is 186L$, and the "Big Pack" is 286L$ for six colors. Your basic no-brainer ;)

There's a neat sound control menu for when you fly, land, crouch, and so on. Load your sounds in, and they will play. The menu is on the usual right-boot click.

This is a great boot, with excellent texture and prim details like the straps, laces, and slightly ominous O-rings at the back (SHi makes a *lot* of bondage gear!)

lelo:
This is another one of those see them, love them, buy them boots.

We saw these on one of the many well dressed guest at Twisted Orchid.

With most designers you can see the family lines but Sweel's work isn't like that so it's fun finding her name in the designers slot.

At the store we are once again amazed at Sweel's low prices and especially the six pack is something you just can't beat.

The freebie is still the lovely suspenders and stockings from the last time we visited, great for the reader that didn't get them last time.

Did we mention the big doll?? *winks*

LFFW Outfits 8 - final

This is the last post of the Latex Fetishwear Fashion Week.

Before we started, I had a vision of showing more outfits, once we had hit every designer once... but between the logistics and the absence of description - which, let's face it, is the point of our blog - we decided to end the posts after this first round.

We hope you enjoyed this quick look at all those great designers, and we'll try to show you some of their work in more detail in the coming weeks.


On this first picture we have lelo wearing Jaqueline's Manga in black latex with BAX ankle boots in red patent.



Here we have lelo in the black Tokon ballet boots by Eye-Catcher completed with KCreations red catsuit and a Kayliwulf Kingdom red latex hood.



And in the final picture, the organizer of the LFFW event, Lexie Jansma, modeling AW Design's Jax in Venetian red, with AW's Courtx shoes also in Venetian red.

Kayliwulf Kingdom - Sunset Red

Deirdre:
A lovely evening gown in red with a touch of black, this is Sunset Red by Kayliwulf Kingdom.

I'm really getting used to the prim ruffles. We've seen them before from KK, and they turn a clothes-layer skirt into a much more interesting item.

The shoes are fun. The heel is not my favorite type, but definitely original.

The bra cup actually covers the nipple, so you can wear this outfit for ballroom dancing ;)

lelo:
Great new 13-part outfit by Kayliwulf in the classic red and black.

The Mermaid hobble dress looks great with the flexy prim ruffles, especially the black showing though gives them something extra, as does the black bra which is part of the top.

You also get a pair of long red gloves, a pair of latex stocking with a red top and some tiny red panties.

Another nice feature of this outfit are the new Funky Strap Pumps, which look higher and have a new heel.

Finally you'll find a special KK Hobble ZHAO-II AO, which has a couple of fun, and copy/trans, poses and walk that go great with the dress.

So the only thing missing is a way to lock you into this dress.... ohh a RLV relay could take care of that... hmm imagine the possibilities... *winks*

Jodhpurs or Chaps?

So you now have your pony tacked up, but you can't really stand around a farm wearing a ballgown or designer dress, so, what to wear?

For just mucking around in the stables, or on the farm in general, a nice pair of jeans, some wellingtons or riding boots and a sports jacket or quilted vest are great.

Or for a more western or cowboy/girl feel, why not go with jeans, chaps, cowboy boots and a check shirt?

Perhaps the most traditional jodhpurs, blouse or shirt and hunting jacket are more your style? SL has them all.

By far the easiest place to get almost all your equestrian fashion from is E Watkins as mentioned previously.

Maison Broceliande has some excellent riding breeches for L$400.

Hoof It! also do a nice range of jodhpurs and other riding wear and they also stock a wonderful grooming kit, however, other places also have some fantastic items.

Or perhaps you like to race ponies, in which case, some jockey wear might be more tempting? Visit the Scotland shop's 6th floor.

Latex riding gear or for a strict trainer style, a Victorian riding habit?

Metronome do some wonderful jockey boots priced at L$350.

Adam and Eve store has some lovely plain riding boots in the bargain basement for just L$100.

Riding crops, perhaps a buggy or coach whip and a steering HUD are also an added bonus to enhance your ability to direct the pony.

LFFW Outfits 7

A short post today.. we're still hunting down the last designers who showed outfits during the event. Last post next week!


Here's lelo with KCreations - Novice with the new BAX prestige boots in black.



In this picture you seen Makalii Rhiadra modeling Seldom Blue's - Latex lucy trouser & basque set in charcoal with B&G Amanda shoes .



And finaly our lelo again with AtaMe's - Victoria in black completed by VvB's CESHANY ankle boots in black.

KDC - Institutional Straitjacket with Leather Pack

Deirdre:
lelo spotted this lovely straitjacket when we visited the gracious Lady Dorrian Tracy to take a picture of her pony for our Friday column two weeks back.

This is another recent item, and while there's nothing wrong with older work, I do enjoy having something with the new leather smell to show our readers ;)

The default texture is quite authentic and institutional - we know straitjacket devotees who love that - but you can buy a pack of excellent leather textures, and totally change the look as we did here.

It was good to be reminded of Kyrah's incredible sci-fi, supervillain lair-looking store.. I still remember how bewildered i was when I first visited it with lelo, many many months ago.

I think if you stand in the middle of the huge, spinning metal rings and the lightning hits you just right, you get super powers. Let me know, ok? ;)

lelo:
Finally a new toy, it's been too long.. *winks*

Adjusting the straitjacket was pretty straightforward. A good tip in the readme file was to use the invisi prim to cover my somewhat larger chest.

Had to do it all over again after i noticed that it attached to my chest, where i keep my collar, but 5 minutes later it was properly fixed to my spine.

Installing the leather pack is easy, just drop the leather script into the jacket and you get the extra textures.

You can change the textures to match your play or costume, the canvas looks great and comes with a red, green, yellow and blue collar.

You can mix and match the belts as they are selected separately.

Still can't help myself, the black leather is my favorite, especially with the red stitching.

As you can expect from a toy like this, it is totally RLV compatible; a fun detail is that you can set who can lock and who can unlock it.

So hurry over and get your own at Kyrah's amazing store, i can promise you they are really uncomfortable. *smiles*

And while you are there get the needle ballets i'm wearing here, good luck with keeping upright.

Kayliwulf Kingdom - Ebony and Ivory

Deirdre:
A fun little (very little) outfit from Kayliwulf, here is Ebony and Ivory.

The recipe is black latex and white lace - not a combination generally found in nature, but SL lets you do things like that ;)

The fluff.. it was a huge surprise to find how much rendering fluff can cost.

I wore my beautiful Drawmachine minidress (which also has much fluff) at an event during the LFFW - can't show up two days in a row in the same outfit, don't you know.

Well, after seeing the five-digit number floating above my head, I went with a catsuit.

So. Don't wear this hot little number to big events... save it for the bedroom.

lelo:
A sexy new 12-part ensemble in black and white by Kayliwulf Kingdom.

This outfit hides just the right places... just.. *smiles*

The ankle boots are a great feature, i love the laces, pity Laz used the old style heels and not his gorgeous new ones.

The black underwear is a classic which will work with most everything.

The white gloves are adorable, as is the fuzzy bodice, which has an amazing rendering cost of 3412, more than a sim of newbies. *winks*

The little white skirt almost manages to make the outfit PG... well almost..
