On the street where you live

I’m coming late to the party on every account, and I had been telling myself yesterday that I would not let myself be distracted by all the new Mesh clothing trickling onto the main grid, because I sort of need to get into Mesh myself, but here I am. I just wanted to have a quick look at the Jane store and then saw more items there than previously glimpsed on plurk last night that I rather liked (plurk, I finally get how distracting you can be!).

So, what did I like ? Let’s start with the poncho ! I’ve always wanted a poncho to wear on SL, but they’re impossible to wear as attachments, so it’s good that one of the first things released as Mesh was one. It came in two sizes and I found the smaller one to be perhaps a touch bulkier than I might have liked, but only just slightly. It flexes rather well with the body, but while it’s nice to have rigged clothing that acts closer to how clothing moves with the body in real life, we’re not quite entirely there yet. In maybe two thirds of the poses I tried, parts of my body were still showing through, and I had to cycle through my entire set of poses to get a few pics where it showed well.

Broken Jaw

Today that the throng has finally cleared at LeLutka, the order of the day when going to shop the new summer release was for me not to splurge too much, so I zeroed in on just these two items, a pair of shorts and a jacket, but I can well predict that I am not going to take this outfit off for at least a week.

Blood Orange

FieP is a lovely new skin from Dutch Touch ! Iki Ikarus has been making new tones too with new bodies, and here’s FieP in “Pale”. I love the eyebrows, sort of thick but soft and not overwhelmingly present, and the lips. Different eyebrow options come on seperate tattoo layers, as well as extra moles, teeth, eyeliner and hairbases.

More of Shoe Fair ’11


This is a really cute wedge from Kookie, called Yannis, which comes in three colours at the Shoe Fair. They look really darling from the side and from the back and I like the textures of the straps and sole a lot. The HUD offers 6 nail polish colours and some skin tone presets. Tweaking the skin tone wasn’t too hard although I don’t generally like to spend more than 5 minutes on it, so I think what I managed looks pretty good here but as usual with me it’s not exactly matchy-matchy. The resizer seems to only allow you to enlarge the shoe, not shrink it, from the default size, something you should take into account if you’re particularly tiny.

Shoe Fair ’11

Shoe Fair opens tomorrow, and I’ve been the lucky recipient of much gorgeousness to adorn my feet with already.

It starts with the Kia wedges from LeLutka ! I couldn’t resist photographing my feet in all the colours, although I must have missed one, because there are 13 in all, but I couldn’t figure out which one. The HUD is very pretty; it includes a resizer button, 28 nail polish colours, and several skin tone presets. I just really, absolutely love them. I also like that the sculpted feet part built in the shoe is mostly just toes so you don’t have to worry about matching your skin tone exactly, if you’re lazy about it, which I usually am, or feel it’s a hassle because you change skins all the time. They just feel very easy to wear. [fair slurl]

Perhaps, perhaps, perhaps


This is Curio’s May at the Skin and Shape Expo. I loved the retro-ish “Blackbird” and the subtle, but playful colours in “Apple Blossom”, “Hydrangea”, and “Lilac”. I’ll probably only be able to feature a few of the best known brands, too much to do at the moment, no time to look around much !
