Ponka - Valkyrie Boots

Deirdre:

We have a few ways to keep track of the stores we love. (While we’d love to sit here and get cool new designs rain down on us from on high so we could take our pick, the fact is that most posts you see in our blog are the result of a good bit of detective work.)

One of the aforementioned ways is to keep an eye on our designers’ blogs. Sure enough, a peek at Beponka’s blog this weekend showed us that she has hopped on the Phat Azz wagon (fans take note!). It also showed us the beautiful Valkyrie boots.

Valkyrie are rigged mesh with a clever leather folds texture. I particularly like the area around the back of the knee - very nice work there.

The foot shape is a very current platform and extreme heel look. I want to say hidden platform for the shape, but the line is clearly defined, so yes and no.

The boots are not expensive if you get one color at a time, and the fatpack is a decent deal, but I am getting spoiled by mesh color-changer HUD’s lately.

Beponka just recently re-worked her store, and the new look is very clean and modern. Do drop by and see her new lines - she’s not just a latex maker anymore :)

Some lovely mesh boots tonight, made by Beponka at Ponka Designs.

The boots come in 5 sizes and run a bit small, so better check the demo before you buy.

Beponka has gone for an extra level of difficulty by letting your legs show through laces on the back of the boots, great effect but it does make fitting a little bit harder.

Great upside of this way of working is that you can see for instance the nylons you are wearing or at least bits of a tattoo you have on your legs.

The boots come in black carbon, black leather, black satin, brown leather, pink leather, rainbow, red leather and white leather, something for everyone i would think.

I'm wearing the black carbon in the first picture, must be the first time it see carbon used for boots, i love the look and they should go great with a Graves outfit.

 

There is also a fat pack available, don’t get confused by the fun striped boot in the line up, it’s the fatpack.. *smiles*

Ponka - Caide Catsuit and Carbon Explosion Ankle Boots

Deirdre:
We stopped by Ponka’s during the renovations, by pure chance. As Beponka mentions in her blog, she’s refocusing the business.

The Carbon Explosion boots caught my eye and I looked around for something to wear with them, and the Caide catsuit looked good to me. Ta-da! Color-coordinated previews :)

If you peer extremely closely at the boots in my pics, you’ll see that they look odd. It’s my old viewer’s fault, and the boots themselves are perfectly fine.

The Carbon part is probably the cool hex texture to the boot and heel. The shape is a fashionable covered platform, which is growing on me. I blame Lady Gaga.

Drop by Ponka’s shiny new store and see the new layout.. as always, tell her who sent you :)

lelo:
Some lovely latex and boots by Beponka from Ponka tonight, try saying that 10 times quickly. *winks*

The Caide catsuit is one of Beponka’s first designs, but that doesn’t make it any bit less interesting.

The asymmetric design is very eye catching and the fishnet inserts add to that look.

In the folder you will find all the separate cloth layers and the quick fit tattoo layer, and yes we do love that tattoo layer. *smiles*

Second tonight are the Carbon Explosion boots, which are sculpted from a single piece of mesh.

The boots have a fashionable style making them edging into fetish and considering the price we just couldn’t keep them from you.

When you get them you’ll have to reduce the size, i’m a big girl but i had to take them 20% down to make them look good.

Sizing is done with the script in the boots, this little script offers a percentage resize or an axial resize. You know the drill, make copy, go tinker...

Ponka - Erin and Darkhunter

Deirdre:

A pair of cool science-fiction outfits from Ponka today: I’m wearing Erin, the tough leather post-apocalyptic bounty hunter with ruffles ;)

Lelo is wearing Dark Hunter, a shinier and equally deadly space-type outfit.

Erin comes in every single layer possible; there are actually tattoo layer parts for the corset, the jacket, and the pants.

The jacket is unusual, a kind of ultra short bolero. On a whim, I tried it on over my Kcreations red leather catsuit, and it gave a cool, ST:TNG-ish look.

The pants and corset share the same shine, and the jacket is a less shiny dark grey which is more similar to the boots.

Speaking of lots of parts, the mesh boots come in M, L, XL.. and a very neat Small which is both boots in the same mesh item.

So strap on your gun belt and go hunt down those interstellar felons, or what have you.. in style :)

lelo:
Darkhunter comes with a lot of prim parts and like Erin, every imaginable cloth layer.

You get 10 prim parts in the kit, from a pair of lovely dangly earrings to the samurai style shoulder pads.

All prim parts come with a resize script, but be careful they are no copy so no safety copies.

The boots aren’t included and might take a bit of searching to make them fit just right, the pants have a brownish tone to them, so leather boots fit them best, like the Utopia boots i’m wearing here. 

So get your Darkhunter outfit today and go..ehh.. hunt in the ehh.. dark.. *winks*

Ponka - Predatory Latex Suit

Deirdre:
It had been so long since we featured Ponka that when I saw the store at the Sassy! mall, I thought it was a new store we had found :)

The latex is still awesome, and the new sign is big enough that I nearly missed it - I was looking for little red “new” starbursts, not a 10m section.

Predatory, then, is new :) It’s also pretty awesome, sporting some cool circuitry and assorted sci-fi-y connectors and bits.

The shine is great, the colors are good - even the transparent latex, of which I’m not usually a fan, looks good with the panels and bits.

You can see more details in Beponka’s store blog : http://ponkalatex.blogspot.com/ 

lelo:
Some new latex tonight, or better SciFi RP latex as Beponka puts it.

In the box you get all layers including the quick dress tattoo layer, only thing missing are gloves and socks.

The shine is very good giving the catsuit a nice thick rubber feel, a feeling that is enforced by the seams and folds.

The suits are covered in little hatches and circuit boards looking patches, making them perfect for doll/robot play.

The catsuit comes in black, blue, grey, purple, red, and semitransparent, so something for everyone i’m sure.

Ponka - Gaya

Deirdre:
Beponka Nirvana is a new designer - see, we don’t only cover the old established houses.

So don’t mind the small store in the little strip mall, she’s just getting started.

Gaya, the outfit that grabbed us, is quite good. I think it shows a promising designer well worth keeping an eye on.

The stockings, in particular, look really good. Nice reflections, and a rear seam adds a neat touch.

You can see Beponka's blog at ponkafashion.blogspot.com, and have a look at her designs on XStreet.

lelo:
Another new find this week, Gaya by Ponka, a new label finding it’s way into SL.

In the box you get a good looking top in all three layers, the skirt in 2 layers and a pair of latex stockings.

Finally there is a short prim skirt, the kind i absolutely adore.

The skirt has a good resize script but fitted me with no adjustment at all.

The cut of the outfit is very good and i love the overall look of it especially the big buckles and of course the lovely skirt.

All items are trans so if you ever get bored with it you can always make a newbies day and give them instant credibility.
