March - April 2018 random photos part 4




What we have here is a Caboodle Liza Layered Lace Skirt which I like a lot, paired with a tank top created by V-Tech actually (they make some excellent clothing for their own flat chest design), and below that paired with a Tee*fy Sophia Top that is not really designed for the flat chest but works pretty well anyway in my opinion -- I like them, I have several.  The stockings are Blueberry of course.  Then below we have a little black dress from Hypnose - Helen outfit, which is also not specifically for a flat chest but works pretty well.  It has a very short skirt.  I like it.  ^_^



Moon Amore does some flat chest stuff as I mentioned before, but in this case the design was NOT for flat chest and I had to improvise.  This is their Plastilicious Overall Dress in Pure, with the Plasticlicious Top&Shorts in pink -- except I'm not using the top for the set because it did some weird pixel bending thing since my chest is flat, and it wasn't designed for that.  Instead I'm using a pink V-Tech 2K Top which matches pretty damned well if you ask me.  The plastic dress itself is designed to fit over a different top, and I found that multiple flat chest tops worked with it, but the one from V-Tech matched best.  Unfortunately this means no graphic version of the top to match the bottom with the strawberries on it, but still, not bad.  ^_^

I bought the plastic dress in pink first, but that was a mistake.  I don't like how the colors look on the see-through plastic dress.  The clear dress is your best option if you buy this outfit.



Of all the things that V-Tech has made for their own  flat chest Maitreya add-on, this magical girl dress (technically called the Kokoro Symphony Set) is my favorite.  So far I've only bought the purple version, I'm not sure how many different magical girl dresses of the same type I need, but to get a magical girl dress to fit my flat-chested avatar was everything I could have ever asked for.



Which brings us to this fluttery bodysuit that I bought tonight.

This is the Rowne Aza Ruffled Bodysuit.  I had a couple of problems with it -- first, it doesn't play perfectly well with the Maitreya body it was built for, meaning I have to manually hide some of my torso so it doesn't peek through, and there are a couple of spots near the lower part of the body suit where this is impossible without making your exposed hip vanish as well, so you kind of have to live with it but mostly once you've hidden parts of the arms and torso it works well.  Second I tried to match it with multiple skirts from the Jeune by Rowne store and nothing worked.  I think part of the reason is that, from what I can tell, the Jeune by Rowne is older stuff.  The Rowne store is a completely separate store in the same sim; they're close to each other, but very much separated.  That actually confused me because I had the demo of this body suit for a couple of weeks, and when I went back to buy it, I was looking in the wrong store.

End result is that all the skirts from Rowne or Jeune by Rowne that I tried, the body suit stuck out through the skirt at some point.  Not good.

Also it's not really designed for the flat chest, but especially in black you don't really notice the difference.

On the flip side, my Caboodle Liza Layered Lace Skirt works perfectly with this body suit -- it even covers up the part where my skin pokes through at the lower sides of the suit.  I really like this skirt anyway, so that's just another reason to wear it.  ^_^  Who's going to complain about that?

I kind of got on a science fiction kick thanks to one of the Bryn Oh single scene poems, pictured above.  The first image is Kelly Eden in a bodysuit from The Secret Store -- Nova Bodysuit Polka.  I bought several of these as well because I absolutely love The Secret Store and the stuff they make that works with my V-Tech chest, and this suit was kind of sexy and retro and also futuristic, I couldn't resist.

The second image is my main account Jalia Oz.  I knew I had a cybersuit look for her, so I brought her to the same location and took some pictures.  After that I went on kind of a sci fi binge, buying outfits (including the same cyber outfit for Kelly Eden) and looking for nice sci fi sims to take pictures in.




Here we have Kelly Eden in the same cyber outfit that I had for Jalia Oz, for the most part.  This is an A&Y Nexus Cyber Bikini with A&Y Opiliones Cyber Legwarmers and Cyber Heels (everything is cyber!) and A&Y Cyber Queen Rebirth hair.  Also the belt is from Neurolab Inc, CB6 Belt (Medkit).

Right after this I decided to buy a gynoid/robot girl/android girl avatar.  There are some really good ones from Misaki Matsumoto, I looked closely at the Yuna Android and the Kita 1.5 Robot Girl, but eventually I settled on a much cheaper alternative while I considered whether I really needed multiple robot girl avatars.  This is the My Beautiful Robot from Strange Things, only 300 Linden and it satisfied my craving to be a cute robot for a while.  The hair is the A^W Cyber Queen Rebirth again.


Still in a sci fi mood, I donned my Nova bodysuit in red and began exploring.  Along the way I picked up some fantastic futuristic cyber boots.  These are the AW Design Kappi Boots.  These look fantastic, but have two drawbacks -- first, they're not designed to work with Maitreya (or any particular mesh body, even Slink feet), so you have to make your legs disappear.  Not too hard but you have to click on everything manually on the alpha HUD.  Second, these are very script heavy and that doesn't ever disappear, so there were some places I went where the sims were yelling at me for having too many scripts despite really wearing little besides the boots and hair.

Not for the first time it occurs to me that a lot of the really cool / futuristic cyber designers in Second Life aren't necessarily all that modern when it comes to actual SL clothing design.

A place called Tam's Trousseau has a collection of outfits designed for V-Tech.  These are not all new Maitreya mesh or fitmesh outfits, they are (as far as I can tell) slightly older outfits, usually with multiple pieces, but which are mesh and have been retrofitted for V-Tech.  They fit fine.  ^_^  But they are usually full outfits.

In any case, I wanted to post at least one image of some of the stuff I bought there, because it's another option for people with a Maitreya / V-Tech Boi body.  This is the Lady in Black outfit.




The boots you see in a lot of these pictures that lace up over the knee are from Blueberry -- the Celia boot.  I bought the fatpack so I could swap colors, well worth it, Blueberry stuff is always extremely well made.  This tank dress comes from Stories&Co by Flowey, another store that specifically designs for Maitreya V-Tech flat chest, so a lot of their dresses and outfits have that option.  I bought a lot of stuff there.


This is another of the Stories&Co dresses, the Fiona dress.



These are images from a weird and rusting merry-go-round from one of Bryn Oh's single scene poems, a kind of interactive art display.  This was a very interesting place to visit and take pictures.

The outfit is an Ariella Skirt - Bloom from Tee"fy and a Cindy Knotted Shirt top from The Secret Store, with tights from Sweet Tea Couture and Mesh Head Amie strapped platform heels.

I haven't posted to this blog in over a year, but I have been logging into Second Life once in a while and wandering around.  As per usual my activity mostly involves buying clothing for my KellyEden account and then posing her in various photogenic locations.  I won't remember where most of these pictures were taken from, but I can post a bit on the clothing that I'm wearing.  Most of this is with my Maitreya Laura avatar with the V-Tech  Boi Flat Chest add on, and almost always with a The Sugar Garden Baby skin, boi chest from Pink Fuel (designed for TSG skins) and Tokyo Girl Hair Bing -- which has been my favorite for a while.

This first one is the Black Parade Uniform in Navy from Curemore / Moon Amore.  They do quite a few flat chest clothing designs, so this is specifically designed for a flat chest.  The socks are from Blueberry.  I like this dress quite a bit but from certain angles you can see between the ruffle layers of the skirt to the character's body, which isn't such a good look.




The March Collabor88 offering from The Secret Store was this Daisy body suit plus skirt, which looks like a dress when you combine them in matching colors.  The Secret Store is another place that designs for Maitreya with the V-Tech flat chest.  Needless to say I fell in love with this look -- very girlish, very much suits my avatar.  I bought several different bodysuit/skirt combos, I probably should have just bought the fatpack sets.



Yet another example of the Secret Garden bodysuit/skirt, and one with just the bodysuit.
