I call it ‘Sniping” because that is what it is.  Taking shots at someone from under cover of anonymity, for what ever the reason.  Using hurtful deliberate words to try and win some kind of verbal war ends up costing both sides in the end.  Any victory gained is a shallow one.

My solution to sniping is handguns.  Back to back, 10 paces, turn and fire. Or not.  Maybe people should just try a little harder to rein in that base instinct to snipe from the treetops, and jump down to earth and talk as rational human beings.  Person to person.  It can be done, online as well as in RL.  Try it.  You may find yourself liking the outcome.  If not, handguns.  At least it is up close, personal and in your face straight forward ‘takin’ care of business’.  I can respect that.

In this frame of mind, I segue now into my fashion blogging part.  *Side Note*-I have stopped looking at the Fashion Feed for now, since the last 3 outfits or themes I was going to go for today and had planned and partially shot were popped up in front of my eyes on the Feeds, much to my (screams of) dismay. 

In my mood over gratuitous drama, and during a hunt for red leggings to go with the last blog idea that the Fashion Feed stole directly out of my brain,  I stumbled upon this outfit at Moonshine, by Shelly Toonie. (You may all now sing “It’s Shelly TOONIE Time” to the tune of ‘Howdy Doody Time’, since I have had that stuck in my head for 2 days, ty.)  Pics and more after the cut.. (really awesome pics btw)

This outfit is called MS-Crusader from Moonshine, and consists of the ripped jeans with prim cuffs, both layers of tanks, (wearable together or separate, on all clothing layers) and wicked thigh wrapped radio. I love the fabric detail on the tanks, you can almost feel the ribbed knit, and the shadows and wrinkles are excellent.  Shelly has redone a lot of her designs, and is reopening her store to celebrate this new ‘rebirth’ and I can tell you now, her quality of work has risen to a new high. 

Check out the shading underneath the first tank on top, and waist area wrinkles. That’s what I’m talkin’ about.  I love depth shadowing, and realistic wrinkles, and just don’t wear clothes without it anymore.  I don’t need no steenkin’ body paint.

The arm ties, rope belt and boots with legwarmers are all taken from a Steampunk skirt outfit by League. Details on that are fantastic as well. See the compass on the boot in the inset shot?  That sucker turns.  Look at the arm wraps in the top pic. Leaves tied into the ropes.  This is good stuff.

Guns are Colt 1911′s (I chose them cause they are much cooler and serious than the Golden Eagles or P99′s.  These aren’t fancy pretty guns, they are just damned fine guns.) The guns come with shoulder, hip and thigh holsters, and are fully scripted to kick your ass.

The excellent poses came from Luth, and come in both gun-holding and finger pointing versions.  I had bought 4 poses at first, but they were no transfer, and Mr Fussypants wanted them in the posestand so he could move me around, so he went back to the shop and bought both fatpacks!   :O

It was a fun shoot (hah) and I am still wearing the outfit.. and the guns. Keep that in mind when you comment.

Thanks,    Isle

Let me begin with this.

I was a bit antsy this am, needed a dress-me-up fix, so I started scouting through my inventory, checking folders and trying things on.  After much mucking about, I ended up with this scant but cute ensemble.  I love mixing and matching, and my best ‘saved’ outfits always end up a blend of things from many of my favourite shops and designers.

I am a texture hound.  I love the wrinkles in this top, and the bit of shadow under the edge.  Shadow and highlight matter. I don’t like spraypainted clothes, no matter how pretty they look from a distance.

The hair is one of my new favourites, actually a men’s (unisex then) from MADesigns, Akami, in Swedish blonde.

The skin has been my main one since it came out late last year, MMS London Suntan, now LeLutka.  Tattoos are Demise (worn II) by Aitui.

Eyes are custom-made, by Kitten Krakauer, of Kitten Designs. She does great work, and will make you happy, regardless of how fussy you are or how long it takes.  Eyelashes, Bedroom by Cake.

The necklace has been my absolute favourite for over a year, if you see me inworld, there is a good chance I will be wearing it.  Ganesha, from Earthstones.  The red and black bangles are also Earthstones, “Gimme Those Wood Bangles” new release.

Earrings, Golden Skull, from Zip Designs -found on random search for skull earrings of course. Wristlet, Flight Compass Wristlet, from Indy and Co, Indyra Originals.

Wrapped Tee from Style Starts Here. Patchwork Skirt from Canimal, Stockings, Torn Stripe Faded, from *Sheer*.

Miss Arch Boots come with 6 different coloured slouch sock tops. Wearing “Autumn”.  From PixelFashion.

I give credit to all the other fashion bloggers, I can appreciate how much effort goes into including all the slurls.  And tagging.  And setting up blog roll..  (still to come, along with a better setup, and widgets, and..stuff. )

Thanks for reading, please feel free to leave ideas on blog improvement and comments,  I appreciate them.

Isle.
