Et puis alors…

Had to make another quick post featuring a few more things from MELT, notably this adorable skin from Julliette Westerburg, and also I couldn’t hold off blogging this bag by Alla Ruff any longer, even though it’s a work in progress and lacking elements, such as a keychain option. I keep walking around with it, it’s so chic and feminine, even unfinished !

I’ve been anticipating the Melt installation since it was casually announced by Radio Signals a couple of weeks ago and the few sneak peeks that have leaked in the past hours have not let me down, quite the opposite !

First glimpsed was Apatia Hammerer’s ball gown, and, here, doesn’t she look just the thing in it ? Inimitable she is ! But I tried to wear it, still. Then, I also saw what Emma Gilmour had done and that got me really jumping up and down with anticipation. Money you can wear ! I love it, worn with its own hairstyle or as a standalone accessory, it is never going to leave my inventory, ever. The bills are excellently sculpted, and as a whole, the money blindfold is, well, just remarkable ! Plus, I thought it paired really well with the pocket watch from Lark. But, enough babbling ! On with some pictures.

The Second Life viewer 2.0 (beta) hit the grid today and all of plurk is aflutter with the many, many micro-changes that were brought to it. I was expecting some kinda bigger changes but there are a couple of things that will get fashionistas and designers alike perhaps a little excited, the first thing being, an extra layer has been added to clothe the avatar mesh ! And it covers the face too, so you can make make-ups to customise skins you bought. Or skin makers can create extra, standalone make-ups that you can buy separately and wear with skins from other brands !

LeLutka, being always on top of things, sent some test make-up layers to their group members. I tried them with different skins, and found they worked great ! I’ve not tried too many skins, and with some of them having particular quirks, it is not guaranteed make-ups will work with every skin, but this seems promising !

An alpha layer was also introduced, so you can make any part of your mesh disappear, to use, for example, for shoes. Let’s see who gets to put it in practice first !
