Mine is space the futuristic fashion ๐
The inspiration for this post was seeing May Tolsenโs release for the current round of Kustom9 โ โSpace Friendsโ are so adorableย that I knew I had to have some for my very own. These detailed original meshes are designed to be worn as attachments but I thought it would be fun to rez them for this post; I resized โMy Home,โ (taking care to make a note of its original dimensions so I could return it back to its intended state once I was done) and I love the results!
Of course, setting up a space-themed post meant I got to shop for lots more cool stuff (not that I ever really need much of an excuse.) I stumbled across Nylon Popstarโs leotards a little while ago and I knew they would be the perfect starting point for my outfit โ there are 9 colours to choose from, each including 2 transparancy options, multiple layers and Phat Azz and Lolas appliers for only L$50 a pack. Hopefully the pictures speak for the amazing quality of the texture itself โ it really is that shiny!
A search for space-y items on Marketplace returned these funky boots by Killer Cerise and I just had to have them: the style and texture is just so cute! I resized them slightly and used the alpha for my Slink feet rather than the one included as my legs are pretty small.. but that is the beauty of modifiable items, with just a little tinkering you can have them fit pretty much any shape you choose to be.
I found Olli Braveheartโs hair store, LCKY, thanks to a fellow blogger and Iโm now a big fan: the styles there are really something special and the colours in the packs are some of the loveliest Iโve seen. The one Iโm wearing here is an older style which fitted perfectly under Dolce Blackflagโs fab helmet โ there are currently 15 discounted styles out in store sold in colour packs costing only L$50 each.
Iโve layered quite a lot of eye makeup for an โout of this world effectโ but the skin itself is a lovely dollarbie from the ever-fabulous MiaSnow (back in-world again, yay!): its lips were already a perfect match for my chosen outfit.
I hope you enjoy this look at least a little as much as Iโve enjoyed creating it!
Until next time,
