THE ACOLYTE OF LOLTH



Requesting that one of the Drow Acolytes of Lolth submit to photography can be tricky, unless you can offer something they really, really, really want.



"I did stupid posing, now give me Lolly! Now!!"



"Next time you show face in Underdark, you better have more than one. Understand?"

This Draziirah skin was recently a prerelease skin Plastik sold for Lazy Sundays, with the understanding that more skins will appear soon. The pack included some glowing golden eyes I didn't show here. Looking forward to seeing more skintones and makeups! Please note that this skin is very dark so I used an extreme windlight setting to make it easier to see the details.

Underthings: Plastik "Valerian" (this was a Halloween edition but many other patterns in store)
Boots: Lassitude and Ennui "Sugarskull Boots" (mesh)(Gacha)(Unhinged Fundraiser Exclusive)
Lolly: Shabby Tabby "SweetSkulls Mouthy" (Gacha lollies! bet you can't eat just one!)(Unhinged)
Hair: Exile "Miu"
Skin/Ears: Plastik "Drazirah [Aleria]"
Eyes: Poetic Colors "Fairy Eyes - wolf dark"
Adjustable Facelight: Nlight FREE 2.0 (SL Marketplace)
Poses: by ImpEle and Long Awkward Pose (unavailable)

The Unhinged Fundraiser is open until December 15. Read more about it.

SUEDE



All the suede of this Hucci outfit feels so decadent to me! ... True story, this year I was groaning as I passed by all the suede shoes at one of my favorite shops. I love suede, but let's face it, it doesn't last long enough. Hard to clean, chafed spots show wear too quickly, and before you know it, you are throwing away your favorite shoes. In this regard, Second Life is obviously superior, your nice things never wear out, although the inventory monster might munch on a few of them occasionally ...



I know you've seen this stuff from Collabor88 already, it's all fabulous. I think the coordinated palette is wonderful and working together must be so much more fun for the designers. The Schadenfreude boots are delicious and HUD-driven to control the leatherwork details. Amazed.

FROSTY



So I changed my place to reflect today's snowy weather. The kidster is out playing in it. I love snow as long as I can look at it from inside with a cup of hot chocolate right? But it's so pretty.



If you are living on the USA's east coast, I hope you can find a warm comfy spot out of the weather. I'm thinking about you.

DUCHESS OF GIEDI PRIME



Appropriate wear for the nobility of outer space. I thought maybe Barsoom, the Courts of Chaos or perhaps Giedi Prime?



The jeweled, epauletted, white leather finery with diamonds, pearls and platinum embossed scrollwork is fine enough for the proudest nobles. NV's "Ascension of Silver" outfit also includes some large spiky jewels and a big fluffy ballgown skirt, but I don't think a big skirt and a pistol wear well together.



And I considered adding a big fur cape, ermine or something, then recalled the wise advice of Ms. Edna Mode:

"NO CAPES!!"

Outfit: NV Corsetry "Ascension of Silver" (mesh)(skirt and jewels not shown)
Undershirt: Dernier Cri "Cutout Turtleneck" (tinted)
Boots: Lassitude and Ennui "Assassin Boots"
Pistol: Seraphim Systems "The Countess" (scripted)
Goggles: Xen "Cy Hacker Goggles" (unavailable)
Hair: booN "LCA518" (mesh) and booN "Gathered Raised Hairbase"
Skin: Kooqla "Cherie" (gift for Avenue group at Kooqla mainstore)
Lipstick: Kooqla "Hotmix 02"
Poses: by Lazy Places (unavailable)
