Sometimes I pick an outfit to suit my mood or what I plan on doing, but the most fun is putting on an outfit because it’s NEW NEW NEW and this is my newest dress, the recently release Chrome in Purple from Tres Jolie. A rich purple chrome finish catches the eye and continuing the metallic them, designer Iota Ultsch made the skirt move like metal, swinging instead of flowing. It’s a sassy movement and a sassy dress.
Sadly, Second Life simply does not provide enough stationary connections to hang your clothes on. With the turtleneck collar on the spine and the skirt on the chest, there was no place for me to hang my necklace. No worries, though, the collar is a perfect circle and won’t go too far astray if you attach it to something with limited movement. I attached it to my nose so I could wear my necklace and was more than satisfied with the results. And isn’t this necklace and earrings from Kraftika a perfect complement?
You can see the other photos in the set on my flickr and judge for yourself.
Close up photo and style notes after the jump.
This session got off to the weird start after I opened this new beta skin from Free Speerit. It has tears – not the mascara dripping down your face tears, but subtle drops of fluid that slid gently down the cheeks. Tears, not a mask. The other element going into my thought process was the whimsy of wearing that ridiculous Madame Pompadour hair – the Queen of Roses. Tears, pre-revolutionary hair and a super frilly dress, where better to shoot than Versailles.
But the lag!!!! I tried walking and promptly fell in the fountain. So I decided I had to leave. I was not really going to succeed when it took 5 minutes to circle my avatar or 3 minutes to zoom a bit closer. So no more last days of Marie Antoinette, but first, I took the time to snap some shots in the fountain.
