Dark loveliness

This look is somewhere between ethereal gothiness and dark loli, or it’s just goth loli, in any case I haven’t done this look justice in awhile and the World Goth Fair woke up my inner gothling so here you go!

By the way, as of last night WGF has raised over $500k (lindens) for the Sophie Lancaster Foundation which is more than they raised during the entire event last year!  I’ve blogged for a few charity fundraisers this year and I’ve heard the same kind of news from all of them.  You guys are doing an awesome job!

HEAD: Hair/Skin/etc.

Hair – Truth (temp. location, subject to change at any time)  Abra – colors *NEW*  All new color packs, all of them include fade versions now.

Veil – Half-Deer @ The Box  Veil of Thorns – black

Horns – Epic  Succubus Horns  VIP gift, paid group, lots of group gifts available.

Skin – tsg  Hope – x tone  I would’ve bought this weeks ago, but umm I couldn’t find it.  To my surprise it’s in a back room with shapes, appliers, and mesh heads/parts.  This is a giant pet peeve of mine btw in rl as well as SL.  New items should always be in the front of the store or clearly visible in their group area and all like items should be grouped together so people can find things easily.  I rarely go to a store because I want to wade through their whole inventory, I want to find what I came there for and get out.

Eye Makeup – PMD @ WGF  Tili – black  Includes full face, eyes only, lips only, and cheeks only versions.

Eyes – Dead Apples  Sinistre Eyes – Horror Edition  Includes 9 pair of eyes with mesh prims.

Ears – Lovely Alien (only on Marketplace)  Simple Elf Ears

Collar + Ring – by Nacht @ WGF (gacha area)  Garter Collar – 1 oxidized silver/ Garter Ring – 1 silver  Separate gacha machines for collars, rings, and bracelets, $50 each.

Wings – Plastik  Nairi Wings – safarii  No idea if these are still available I bought them months ago as a special preview edition.

Dress – Sakide @ WGF  Concubine Dress – black  I LOVE this dress, EVERYTHING about this dress in fact.  The design is wonderful and screams comfy, the fabric texture is flawless, not to mention the pattern.  This is another one of those dresses that will lend itself to any situation depending on how you accessorize.  Also available in white, purple, and crimson.

Armwarmers – Sakide @ WGF  Inkubus Outfit – black  Outfit includes studded bustier, high-waisted shorts, and armwarmers.  Also available in white, purple, and crimson.

Rings – UtopiaH  My Cute Hand

Nails – PMD @ WGF  Nail HUD – Goth My Nails Up  This HUD only works with SLink mesh hands and the SLink Enhancement Nails.

World Goth Fair open & more from 100 Block

The World Goth Fair is now open through the 31st.  This event spreads across two sims, Port Seraphine (moderate) and Cursed (adult), with every store having at least one item with all proceeds going to the Sophie Lancaster Foundation (these vendors are clearly marked).

HEAD: Hair/Skin/etc.

Hair – Truth (temp. location, subject to change at any time)  Abra – gingers *NEW*  All new color packs, all of them include fade versions now.

Skin – Plastik @ World Goth Fair  Astrali – rapture  Includes 8 versions/makeups, tango appliers, and a bunch of other tattoo layers for freckles, coverups, etc.  I have quite a few Plastik skins and I have to say this is probably the softest/freshest face I’ve ever seen on her skins.

Eyes – Rue @ WGF  Eyes/Pluto – Abyssinian set  Each set includes 6 system eyes with mesh prims.  These would work really well for dragons, demons, snakes, etc.

Ears – Lovely Alien (only on Marketplace)  Simple Elf Ears  Includes 4 types of unrigged mesh ears in two tones each, pale and gray.

BODY: Clothing/Accessories

Necklace – Bliensen + MaiTai @ WGF  Hokus-Poison-Necklace  If you like this there’s a bigger decorative flask version also available.

Top – 22769 @ 100 Block  Loreen Tank Top – white vintage  Available in several prints/colors.

Cuff/Bracelet – Erratic  Owl Bracelet – silver

Rings – UtopiaH  My Cute Hand  Set also includes nails (not shown).

Nails – Mandala  Female Nail Palette 1 (medium) 70 colors/styles and 5 nail shapes

Pants – n-creation @ 100 Block  Pants & Jacket “The 100 Block”  This is a male item and the jacket was much too big for me, but I really liked the pants, especially the texture change belt on them.  The jacket includes all male standard sizes, but the pants are something called “liquid mesh” which seems to be something like deformer mesh in that it’s basically one size fits all unless you have a quirky shape.

Shoes – Sweet Leonard  EveryDay Flats – red *NEW*  Available in various colors.

Shape – made by Fei Bourdeille (not for sale)  Leave him a notecard for shape inquiries.

The 100 Block: Sakide, me., & Para Designs

Top + Shorts – Sakide @ 100 Block  Long Tee Outfit – white, black (sold separately)  I combined the 2 outfits because the white outfit comes with white shorts, but I wanted black.  :P  Outfits include mesh tees with the cross and plain, the back of these nearly touching the floor, and system shorts.

T-shirt – Izzie’s  Low Neck Tee – autumn set  Each set includes 4 colors on various layers, tango appliers available separately.

Dress – Go!  Marta Dress – 12 *NEW*  Very, very cute and yet still manages to pull off a “business casual” look.  Warning: most of you will see some nipple action with this dress unless you’re wearing a shirt underneath.

Legwarmers/Boots – (red) Mint @ 100 Block  (Legwarmer) Platform Boots – No. 2  Ok seriously, just go buy a pair of these now!  They’re available in a few legwarmer textures (sock, leather, ostrich?, etc.), but each pair comes with a HUD full of color possibilities for every part and they’re only $199 during the event!  Six rigged sizes and one unrigged pair included.

A fundraiser and kickass boots

First off the fundraiser,  it’s called For Aeva Heartsick and (oddly enough) it’s a split profit sort of deal for Amesha Jewell, creator behind Aeva//Heartsick, to hopefully be able to buy a new computer.  This of course isn’t a life or death kind of thing for most people, but everyone’s circumstances are different and for some SL is their source of income.  If you would like to know more the official site is here.

Secondly, BOOTS!  I was sent some very nicely done mesh platform boots yesterday by the lovely Lindsey of LW.  There’s not much in the store at the moment besides glasses and boots, but there are free and discounted special editions of both available.  The boots are rigged mesh and include 3 sizes so please try the demo before you buy.  Every pair includes a HUD that will let you leave the boot all black or turn on the accent colors (toe point and sole) separately.  Also, most of the accent colors are very bright and vivid which should work really well for cyberpunk/goth looks as well as at least some sci-fi rp.

Fantasy Faire EXTENDED!

Didn’t get everything you wanted?  Having massive lag or rezzing problems?  The good news is that Fantasy Faire has been extended for a day and will now run through Monday, April 29th.  Another piece of really good news is that over 6 million linden have been raised so far (probably closer to 7 at the moment) just at this RFL event, breaking all kinds of records for SL Relay For Life events.

In other news… ladies I have told you to invest in lingerie before and now with the latest Firestorm release I remind you again.  This latest release makes rigged mesh clickable and derenderable (is that a word? it is now!)

Also, this will probably be my last post for April, but I do have lots of stuff coming up in May in the form of previews for The 100 Block and World Goth Fair events, so stay tuned!
