Lotd 9/27

I saw the shirt and tank worn in this outfit at GothiCatz the other day. I think this is about the first time Ive seen a leopord print shirt that I actually liked enough to buy. GothiCatz has some really great stuff and I buy a lot of their stuff.

I used my first tattoo in SL which I wore forever before getting the many more that I have now, it is Dragons Calling from Custom Inkz. this is also one of my new skins from LaVie, Liam. The necklace and belt are both from Mandala, and are very awesome and detailed. I also really like the way these half-pants from Connors go with the Armada boots from Kookie. Though I will say that I tried using the version without the sock and I could never get it to fit right without either going through my leg or making it so big that it was ginormous.

Lotd 9/23 Rock-a-billy

This is my spin on a throwback rockabilly look.

Most of my outfit is from Artilleri. They have a a whole line of a lot of this style shirts and pants. I was looking for a pompadour or greased type hairstyle, but couldn't find one that I liked, so I went with this one from Novocaine.

I added my new shoes from 380 that go really well with the outfit. I added this snake tat from Dream ink to give the look a little flare

Roleplay Avatar: Eladrin

I mentioned in my opening blog that I enjoy roleplaying. I play D&D with some real life friends several times a week. One of those days is Sundays, and I am going to try to put out a role play Avatar or look every few Sundays before our game.

My group decided to play on second life for a couple of our games for a while, and I made Avatars for my characters in those games. This is Ayden, my Eladrin (which is a type of Elf in D&D) Artificer.

I am using the elf skin from Fallen Gods, because they have the absolutely best fantasy skins available. Most of the outfit is from Eclipse Designs who has some absolutely awesome roleplaying outfits. I bought Vista's Sword AO because I could not find any decent poses for the sword and staff, but I am really happy with the sword AO and it was only 1k which is really good for a Vista AO.

Lotd 9/18

This is a casual outfit with a skulls theme, which is a theme I have plenty of clothes to use for. I used my new Jeans from Luck that have the skulls going up the leg and one of my favorite T-shirts from GearShift as the basis for the outfit.

I added the necklace and bracelet set from :sey called star&skull. I love the way the strings from the bracelet hang down over the hand, the stars and skulls go well with almost any outfit. The belt is a really cool skulled belt from Naith Smit. This is one of the new skins that I have gotten from LaVie called Noah, and I am really liking it.
The outer shirt is from Klam Designs, and they do some very awesome shirts that are very detailed and great to wear t-shirts or tats underneath, and the price isn't bad at all, 4 colors for just $199.

Hair Fair 2010

This year's hair fair is to benefit Wigs for Kids. The fair will last until 9/19.  I almost didn't go to the hair fair this year, as I usually go with my girlfriend and some friends, but they have been a little fair-ed out lately. I changed my mind, but probably went at one of the worst times possible, Friday evening. It was incredibly laggy, but that is to be expected with almost any fair such as this. I think that the layout could have been much better, and I would recommend using the hair fair's blog to go directly to the store your interested in and not try to walk through all four sims. Now for the hair from the fair that I liked and purchased.

Shag is the only store from the hair fair that I really liked and had not heard of before. I am not usually a big fan of hats in SL. I think this is the first hat I have purchased that was not part of a themed outfit. This is two variants of a hair called Boys dont cry. You do have to have a skin with a hair base to make this hair look good, and it can be difficult to get it to match up in the front and get the color matched close.I also was trying some head alpha layers that I made/bought to try to adjust the hat a little better.  I couldn't get it to work right, though that may be a glitch in Phoenix viewer. The hat and band both have scripted options for the color and pattern.

This hair is another Shag hair that I really like called Animal Nitrate, I can see myself wearing this one quite often.

Unclewebb is an outstanding hair creator and I think I have nearly every one of his male hairs. I am really digging his new hair Jake.

I also liked two of Aitui's new hat hairs. This one is Wake up. For 90L$ they are a really good value, and though it does not look that great with the outfit I have on in this pic, I think it would go really awesome with some grunge outfits.

















This is Aitui's other 90L$ hat hair Back of the Class. I really love its edgy style, and its a great value.



I also wanted to mention that MadDesigns had a really good looking mohawk that I did not purchase. Wasabi also has some really nice hair that I have worn on my elf Avatar.

The top shirt is in a outfit pack that has the shirt, pants, and even neckace and piercings. I also wanted to mention how much I really love Mandala. Their jewelry is really well done and versatile, and their belts are so well done, they fit perfectly. Usually I have to mess with belts, resizing and adjusting, but Mandala's belts I have never had to do that.

Lotd 9/6

I have always thought that this shirt and tie from Primitive Design look really cool, and it is my favorite tie in second life. It has a casual feel but is still a little bit dressy. Whenever I want to look more dressy, I still like to throw a casual or gothic aspect in, and this does that really well. The pants are from Phoenix Rising, which has been having a 100L closing sale. I believe it is still going, but Im not sure how long it will last. I think I bought like 15 things there when I went, including entire outfits for $100L.

I added one of my favorite all purpose awesome looking boots- Kboots. I also thought PrimOptics sunglasses xtrim, they are really good looking, and everything is customizable about them. This is also a new skin of mine, that I just got over a weekend from LaVie because, well I thought it looked pretty amazing.

Lotd 9/1 Grunge

Today's look of the day is my grunge look. These are my favorite grungy style jeans, they are from :form: which has some really cool stuff for this style. I also really like the brown undershirt which is from Stellar, not a store you would usually shop at for grunge clothing, but the tribal arms look really good when worn under another shirt.
