Let’s Talk Shoes

I have well over 100 pairs of shoes and boots. Color changing, noise making, walk replacing, you name it. However, I still find myself wearing the same few pairs over and over. Most of these are ones I made myself: simple, strappy, stilettos. Not every pile of prims is a shoe, ladies. It takes a little art to cover just the right amount of that ugly club and make it beautiful. For me, it’s all about the foot. I won’t even BUY a pair that does not show it on a foot in the ad.

Well, what IS a prim shoe? Basically its a system shoe, covered by a prims. The SL avatar foot barely has enough vertices to make a decent FOOT shape, and yet it is supposed to be streched into all sorts of boots and shoes. Long ago some clever person invented the invisiprim which hides avatar parts with a script, but lets prims show through! And lo, Prim Shoes were born. This clever invisiprim hides the ugly unfootlike bits from view allowing us to wear these gorgeous, impossibly slim heeled designs we all love.

My shoes are very simple. Generally strappy, with a high stiletto heel. I have tried to bring out the beauty of the SL avatar foot. Always MOD/COPY and sold in black but you can make them any color you like! Consider, for example:

…this sandal with two slender straps hugging the big toe, an ankle strap with a silver buckle, and a built in toe ring.

Or a 60′s inspired funky platform shoe…

Or this black velvet office pump with buckled ankle strap accent.

Oh, and did I mention they were cheap? the whole line of shoes so far are available at my little shop @ http://slurl.com/secondlife/Fletcher/40/7/148

Hope to see you there.

Pictures, Not 1000 Words

A myriad minis from O http://slurl.com/secondlife/Fletcher/40/7/148

Consider the Jacket Dress

First of all, there are just never enough layers. It’s always a juggling act to include your tattoos, your favorite undies and the body-oil you feel naked without (specially when you ARE naked . And so the Jacket Dress is an essential element in the wardrobe of any layer loving avvie. Just a jacket and a prim and off you go.

That is the inspiration for this line of Mini-dresses from O. The vanguard of this wave of super short minis has eight styles: Tee-shirt, Asian Halter, Scoop Tube, Cross Halter, Keyhole, Asian Halter, Cami Top, and Bustier; and a myriad prints from florals to stripes to skulls. Each style comes with the jacket layer and as a shirt/pants version, as well as a slightly sheer version for a little extra thrill.

Priced at just $L100 each ($L500 for all eight) it should be easy to build up a versatile collection.

Future directions for the line include lots of new prints, new cuts such as an asymmetrical top, a prim collared halter, several two-piece designs on one layer, as well as accessories like clasps, straps, bows, and dress prims that include a variety of belts; and belts on the jacket layer too!

First release is a gauzy pink and olive camo number. To date nine different prints are out, with five more rolling out this week.

What the Heck is O?

I want O to be everything it can possibly be… O is your obsession. O is your Orgasm. O is the shape your mouth forms when you find that perfect shoe, or that sexy little number. O can be your erogenous zone. O is your exclaiming expression of exultation. O is your onomatopoetic cyber squeal of joy.

O is sexy prims for girls: strappy sandals, pumps & slippers. Select tattoos. Bead & Gem Jewelry: rings, belts, necklaces, bracelets, chokers and piercings. Scripted apparel & accessories: silks, bags, smiler/emoters, even pets. http://slurl.com/secondlife/Fletcher/48/4/148
