The Call Of The Dawn

"The warming sunlight in the eternal winter's dawn."

This outfit was one that quite magically fell into place. I had first gotten my hands on Zibska's Alerie set and found myself saying, "I wish I could find a good kimono for this..." and not even an hour later Aii had release this stunning rigged mesh kimono. Alerie is an unrigged, modifiable jewelry set that includes a stunning headpiece, necklace, and a pair of earrings. There are 10 metal colors and 12 rose colors, the main part, the chains, the beads, and the roses all being separately color changed via HUD. Aii's Korusetto Kimono is a rigged mesh kimono in 1 size (be sure to try a demo!) and 5 colors (Blue, Red, Purple, Gold, White). It's sooo sexy, I thought it would look wonderful with a bit of a blonde goth flair to it. Zibska's Brid heels definitely finished off the outfit, since they have ten colors and three texturable faces via HUD. So from there, I made myself the perfect pose to show off the sleeve of this gorgeous kimono, then set out for a shoot.

The Traveler

 "Where I lay my head is home."

It's definitely been a minute since cStar Limited has put out a new skin (the creator has been super busy RL), but she always comes back with a bang! Khaz is a tribal style skin with colors that contrast beautiful with her dark skin. She's available in ten different tones, coming with Slink Hands/Feet, Phat Azz, and Lolas appliers (Omega appliers in the works). Khaz has four breast size options and includes a pair of beautiful, hand drawn lashes. One of the things I really love about cStar Limited is that the creator is an artistic soul, so each skin is a piece of art. The stories she writes for them brings them further to life and helps me visualize her true intentions for her artwork. Her work is very different than anything else I've seen in Secondlife, which is why I love it to death and back.

"She's a tribal Goddess that leads her tribe to prosperity and peace. She fights with her strong will and courage against those bringing her people to extinction! Her people adore her and gift her with jewels and golden armor. Her freckles represent a unique part of the world where she reigns. She uses ashes for her eyeliner, though spending so much time in the sun has caused the makeup to run a little bit." -Story of Khaz, by Unico Solo

Personally, I decided to style Khaz as though she were a traveler that is always exploring the world as she lives the life of a nomad. These armbands and vambraces from Blunderforge were pretty perfect, and because they're unrigged, modifiable mesh, I was able to make a choker for myself with a little modification. I paired it with Gizza's Gypsy Set, which drew me in with the leather and lovely colors. This set comes with a rigged mesh skirt and under-bust corset, each in standard sizing, as well as a system layer bra, a pair of boots, and an animated tambourine. Don't worry, there's an unanimated one for photos included as well! When it came to hair, I originally had some braids, but I decided to go with a long down-do. Moon has this and another gorgeous style out for Kustom9, which are absolutely perfect for roleplay.

You're Late

"Oh, you're finally here. We were about to begin without you."

Now this particular outfit was one that came together quite fast. I saw this dress and shawl combo at Topazia and absolutely couldn't resist picking up a copy for myself. Melany is available in several colors with a matching fur shawl for each color available separately; this dress comes with a system layer top and a rigged mesh skirt in standard sizing. I loved the collar in the ad for the dress to death but I wasn't sure where it was from... until I looked across the store that is. The sybelle collar is also available in several colors and each color includes gold, silver, and onyx colored spikes.
Needless to say I was excited. Now Misashi is the kind of stylish man that loves to rock a bit of gold in his outfits, so feeling inspired, I took inspiration from that and accessorized with gold. I noticed we were matching quite a bit, except for hair, so I opted for a bun as well for the fun of it. When done styling, I was pretty happy with how it looked, so we both set out for a shoot that was particularly fun.
