GATHERING ROSES

I still like to visit Ode occasionally, especially if I am going to photograph something rather sweet and garden-party-ish. I thought this summery blouse from Fishy Strawberry might fit that description, especially paired with these daintily elaborate jewels.

PALELY LOITERING

This lovely translucent skin from the Ugly Duck shop is an exclusive charity benefit item at the Culture Shock event. As I wear it here it looks fairly normal, but there is also an included "alien" textured skin and a scary looking set of eyes that I look forward to using for roleplay. The cream and roses complexion made me think of wearing Ms. Ennui's set of jewels. Using the texture change controls you can color the metals, pearls, flowers, ribbon, and even the lace. I love the flexibility.

I love the brocade and lace textures on the white. It is so hard to pull off white clothing! I had already purchased the blouse from Sur, and the wrap top and miniskirt are gifts from Ivey Deschanel.

RESTRAINT

I so admire restraint. Whether it is the seduction of physical restraint embodied in a corset, or emotional self-control, I admire it. (Probably because I wish I had more of it in my character. I wish I could perfectly control anger or pain or unthinking reactions.) Oh and did I mention restraint is sexy?

The sexy corset is paired with this new nightmare skirt ... The corset is sculpted and texture change with one version that has the back laces painted on, and another version with sculpted laces. Each color includes a hud that changes the texture three ways. For those of you using the beta viewer it includes a boxed version with alpha texture layer that prevents your ribs from showing through the corset when you bend or twist. ...And these sculpted skirts: I couldn't believe that the pack with all the colors of fabric was only L$300, that's usually the price for one color right? They are lovely. (The photo doesn't do them justice. You have to see how they look in three dimensions.)

Finally the lovely flower crown, which texture changes on touch to a zillion different flower and leaf colors. I got lucky combining the flowers with this hair because they fit together perfectly without any adjustment.

Shirt: PixelDolls “Duchess Top”
Undershirt: PixelDolls “Tintable Cami” (from Timepiece 001 Outfit)
