XTC Leather - Obsidian Dress and Orion Catsuit

Deirdre:
Another pair of recent releases from XTC : I’m wearing the ultramini black leather dress called Obsidian... I have longer t-shirts, but they’re not made of leather ;)

Lelo is modeling the white Orion catsuit (this for new readers who don’t know which blonde is which.)

The kit comes with or without underwear, in two ways : a pants layer skirt and underwear layer panties, or all together on the pants layer.

As usual, the texture is exquisite. A seam runs a whimsical pattern around the dress, and the folds and reflections are really authentic.

Leather-top whale net stockings, and fingerless shoulder gloves complete the outfit.

I hadn’t worn my old Minx thigh boots in ages.. they jumped to mind when I tried on this dress.

lelo:
The Orion catsuit is called a leather catsuit but it looks more like spandex to me, still great effect.

The pack comes with body flame underwear tattoos, giving you that classic hot-rod look. *winks*

You also get an open and closed bottom for the catsuit, the open version leaves little to the imagination, well make that nothing.

A nice pair of wrist gloves in matching color complete the package.

As the pants are flared i suggest wearing them with shoes or short ankle boots.

Nice sexy leisure suit, just the right thing for Larry, if he had been a girl. *smiles*

Minx Shoe Design : Boots, "Badass Babygirl"

Deirdre:

Another excellent boot from Minx, Badass Babygirl is a platform knee boot with a skyscraper heel, lacing in front, and amazingly detailed buckled knee and ankle straps.

The heel sounds are controlled via a menu in the right heel, and are extremely convincing. I feel like I'm scuffing the floors everywhere I go when I have the steel heel sound on ;)

It's difficult to tell for sure, but I would guess the heels are 8" high, with a 2" platform. Which makes a killer six-inch heel that you wouldn't wear for any extended period in RL. Isn't Second Life great?

I could wish the boots were mod, I might reduce the calf a little. But it's a minor thing... I love my boots tight.

As I examined my boots for this article, I noticed the boots sink in the ground a bit... just enough to throw off the proportions of the platform when you stand.

If anyone is looking that closely at your boots, though, you should have a seat, relax, and let them kneel in front of you... because they probably want to lick them ;)

lelo:
I love these boots, they have the highest heels and i *do* love high heels.

The boots have a nice platform, which is just right, not the stripper kind, just an elegant looking platform.

You just have to look at the way the belts around the ankle and just under the knee are buckled to understand that Nikki loves details.

Details like the little lashes to pull the boots up or the laces that move with every step.

I get the name of these boots, they really look badass and i guess being knee high makes them babygirl size.

And finally there is the sound they make, the steel scratching the floor sends shivers down my spine, as you might have noticed i really *do* love heels.

Still a woman wearing these boots sends only one message, "here comes trouble..."

And ohh i love that kind of trouble... *winks*

Minx Shoe Design: Boots, Sultry Obsession

Deirdre:
Best, boots, ever. Mmkay? ;)

Heels : I haven't seen better in nearly 15 months in SL.
Texture : very good.
Extras : Fun details like studs and tie behind the knee.
Sound : Bitchin' heel click.
Price : Well, they ain't cheap, but they're worth every thousand L$ ;) No, I kid. Not that much.
Store : Terrific, we said that before.

More? You bet. Two sizes of prim calves, for us slender types and for the curvier girls.

The boots are copy but not transfer, so you can experiment and not ruin your originals.

I just wish that they were modify. The studs are great, but not for all occasions.

lelo:

i just love these boots, they are just right: the look, the details, the sound... only thing missing is the smell ;)

Minx Shoe Designs : Pump, "Sweet As Sin"

Deirdre:
Minx shoes and boots have fun names. This pump is called "Sweet As Sin", and it is :)

Excellent heels are a Minx trademark. These folks understand stilettos like few other designers in SL do.

Great design, nice textures giving realistic reflections.. sadly, the nice heel-clicking sounds that come built-in with most Minx boots isn't available in these shoes.

Very good store layout, you will find what you're looking for with one glance at the well-labeled sections.

No opinion on service, I never had any trouble.

Prices are a little high, but for good value, we don't mind... too much ;)

lelo:

i love the heel design of these pumps, as with most Minx shoes made with great attention to detail, with these pumps Mistress's lovely legs look even longer than they already are.

The shoes are no-trans but Minx offers a gift service where you pay Nikki directly and tell her who you want to send which shoes and she takes care of the rest.
