#528 Route 66

Doc Eldritch of DE Designs has released a new pair of leather pants for We Love Roleplay - in my opinion Doc's leathers are some of the greatest in sl, and these are my opinion the best he has ever done.   The texturing is superb and I particularly love the lace detail on the front - both lace and hardware can be changed via hud.  You can choose from 6 colours which include huds to change the laces and hardware, and during We Love Roleplay there is a 25% discount.

 I have teamed the pants with a cami/corset from Just Because - it is one of Annie Melson's older releases but still works really well. You have a choice of leather or lace and you can wear the corset alone if you feel daring!

 My shoes are brand new from Essenz - two colours were available for the Monthly Midnight Madness event at the weekend.  They are no longer available but the full release is, and I am showing you one of the colours from Hud 1.  

My lip applier is, as far as I am aware, Aina of Indulge Temptation's first foray into make-up/appliers, and comes in 3 different palettes plus a free gift at the new-to-me event, Beauty Me.  I certainly hope Aina does more make-up!  My jewelry from Meva is a firm favourite when i want something bold.

#511 Who says I am a witch!

Today I have gathered together items from We Love Roleplay, Season's Story, Cosmopolitan, Color Me Project and Mesh Body Addicts Fair.  I am wearing Catwa's Annie mesh head with Pink Fuel's recently updated Sora applier. 

I had fun putting this look together, I always enjoy doing the dark, gothy/punky type posts, and this one was built from this cute new skirt from Doc Eldritch for We Love Roleplay.  I always love his dark rich palette and this skirt is no different, the textures are really beautiful.

Doc also has this great tank set available at Mesh Body Addicts Fair.  Both skirt and tank are available in a huge array of fits, and the Maitreya choice fits my Maitreya Lara perfectly.  Thy are available in a choice of colours or Doc's very reasonable hud operated fat pack (buy the fatpack!  buy the fatpack!).   Each choice comes with a plain tank and the lip textured one I am wearing here.   

I know, I know, more cat poses but really, how can a crazy pixel cat woman resist such fun poses with the cute black kitty!  Funny story, someone posted on Plurk last week about some kittycats that they were sending to the menagerie unless someone wanted them.  The menagerie is where you send cats you no longer want, and from whence they can never return.  I was "noooo, they can live with me!".  These are pixel cats, I know that, and they are not real, I know that too, but even so, I couldn't think of them being sent to the pixel graveyard.  I think I am spending too much time in sl :).

#342 Pale Rules

This beautiful skin is a lot paler than I would usually wear but it is so feminine and delicate I couldn't resist.  She is available at We Love to Roleplay and is available in 4 make-ups with 4 different brow options included, plus no brow and tintable brow.  Sweet Lips Aurora applier also come in each pack, and appliers for Maitreya and SLink are available separately  I love the delicate lipstick and subtle blush. The only addition I have made apart from lashes is a minimal eyeliner. 

I decided to do an all Maitreya blog post today, so am wearing Lara with both her hands and feet.  The dress I am wearing from Blueberry comes in 12 lovely single shades or a hud controlled fatpack which also allows you to customise the belt and strings.  I went for the green to go with my pale skin and red hair.  The dress comes rigged for Maiteya, Belleza, Slink and classic avatar, and in two options, belted or non-belted, and also comes with lola appliers.  I love the creasing on this dress which gives a very realistic look and I am sure I will wear this dress often.

I found it a bit difficult to find nail applies for Lara, but thankfully finally found some by Nailed It. Even if you can't see my nails up close, I still like them to match the outfit!  I really hope more people start making them as those that come with Lara are very basic - in common with all the other mesh bodies I use.

My shoes from Mundos come with pairs rigged for Eve, Belleza, SLink and Maitreya and I thought the delicate straps were perfect with this dress and wouldn't look too clumsy on my pale skin.  They come with two huds, one allowing you to customise 8 parts with 24 colours, and the other hud allowing you to choose from 24 snakeskin textures.
