Gizza released a gorgeous formal gown at The Liaison Collaborative. It comes in rich jewel tones, deeply saturated colors such as this rich ruby red. It has a full, flowering skirt that falls deeply in the back. These skirts are sometimes controversial. Sometimes they are a failure, but when well done, they are beautiful, flashing your legs while still providing the length of formal wear. I kind of think we should name them by how well they work. Hi-lo or waterfall skirts if they work and mullet skirts if they do not.

By the way, Slink has updated their hands so they are rigged to the Bento skeleton. Note the very, not just released, but updated. What does that mean for you? It means that to have new Bento hands, you can simply update your old ones without an additional investment. How generous is that?

How does it work? You go to the mainstore and click the redelivery terminal and the update will be sent to you. If you bought the multipack, you will get the whole shebang, the dynamic hands, the idle HUD, and a fifteen pose HUD of static poses. If you bought the mini packs 1, 2, or 3, you will get the dynamic hands, the idle HUD and the static poses that match the set you already bought. If you bought individual hands, you will get the hands and the pose you purchased. You can buy the idle animations separately. All come with stiletto nails to offer nail length/shape options.

See how well it works!

One of the guidelines to good design is to balance simplicity with complexity, the austere bodice is balanced by the exuberance skirt. The design is all about form…not embellishment. This gives me an opportunity to pull out these exuberant and glorious shoes from Glamistry.

 At Hairology, Stealthic released this lovely long hair called Cadence. This was new to me, so if it’s not to you, pardon me for explaining the three HUDs that come with the hair that  it the most flexible hair in the met averse.make The three HUDS are a B&W HUD that controls how light or dark the hair is. The Tint HUD controls the color of the hair, and the styling HUD arranges the hair all in back, all in front or on the right or left. So click around the color palette to get the tint you want then click the black and white to get the shade you want. You can leave the styling hud on and adjust it to suit your pose.

Wearing it back lets me show off the “Lisa” choker that coordinates with the dress.

Here it is styled on the left. The fun thing is the HUD has animations built in showing your arms move the hair.

Here my hair is pulled forward. Isn’t this fun?

 If that were not enough, then PXL Creations has released a beautiful skin for Skin Fair called Eva. Skin Fair has two sims, sim 1 and sim 2. I know i look a bit confused, that’s when I first opened the Stealthic Hair and was just starting to figure it out. My earrings are old, from Dark Mouse, a store that has closed inworld but remains still open on Marketplace. They are sculpt and modifiable, so I was able to tint some of the stones ruby red.
