STEAMPLAY

Hi! Okay I realize that this outfit is more Cosplay than Steampunk, but I like it so just deal with it. :D  ... The oldie system shorts fit reasonably well under this new mesh top from Marshmallows. And the stockings are a couple years old too, but I don't care, because I still love my vintage stuff in my closet.



Oh my and the shoes. A gratuitous shoe shot just because I can ... Amo, Amas, Amat. If you like Steampunk, these are a must have at Shoetopia, courtesy of Lassitude and Ennui.



[Heroic explorer stance]



And I lurve my new Ohmai cheeky little flying squirrel buddy, and also have to show you a close-up of the fingernail appliers that I got from Bliensen and Maitai. They come with a HUD that changes the background color behind the sweet little cogs. They've left the Genre venue but should be back at the Mainstore soon if they aren't already.

SEARCHING FOR THE DARK

The way to the darkest black leads through the light. And the path to the dark Unseelie passes through the land of the cute little fae.

I thought the way to the brugh was somewhere near here.

I walked through the shady tunnel.

Ah.

I considered photographing this outfit in brighter light but, honestly, more light did not make it easier to get a good image. This coat is just really, really, really Black. And surprisingly, I like it that way. The cuffs are turned up to show a gray lining, and the edges of the belts show a very subtle gray. And oh those feathers! I want to stroke the collar.

Hair: booN “KRC190”
Skin: Glam Affair “Sofia Skin – scars A” (exclusively at the Dressing Room)

Location: Fae Fantasy Forest, Bentham Isles

PUNKY IN PURPLE

Pretty in pink? No ... But how about Punky in Purple?

The hemline on this gown reminded me of the 80's, Molly Ringwald, and Boy George, and so you have this outfit that is a little bit punky. I considered hightop sneakers and legwarmers, but found these pumps instead ...

I wish I'd worn THIS to prom. *grins*

Fill my eyes o lithium sunset
And take this lonesome burden of worry from my mind
Take this heartache of obsidian darkness
And fold my darkness into your yellow light
