Southsea Lookr + PRim Design Launch!

Southsea Lookr + PRim Design Launch!

by Lisa Millar ♥ 0 Leave a Comment

I love launch parties, especially when I genuinely admire the designers who are hosting them. I was really happy therefore to attend the opening party for the new Southsea sim, especially because it features two of Second Life’s most exciting stores, PRim Designs and Lookr clothing. The former features some of the most beautiful furniture that you could possibly aspire to create, let alone own in Second Life. The latter is a fashion store that sells especially exciting designs for both men and women. I’ll be discussing these stores in depth in the next few posts, but I just wanted to do a brief write up before I hit the sack in RL…the party is still going strong so why don’t you head on over and wish Prad, Rrish and Adam all the best with their new venture:) I’ll blog a proper review of the lusciousness on display during the next few hours….

The lovely Lawra Fredrickson dropped a bundle of loveliness upon me yesterday and I’ve been posing and preening in these outfits with mucho gusto! Regular readers wil be familiar with Lawra, as I mention her on here very frequently. As a designer her work fits in extremely well alongside Sn@tch and Gritty Kitty, as well as other predominately Neko orientated stores, and has great mixability. I often make outfits from a combination of Sn@tch, Gritty Kitty and Dutch Touch and find they go together really well and the overall look is perfect, not just for when I feel like wearing my cat ears, but also when I want to look edgy, urban and somewhat rock-chick like! So, what was in the folder? Uber cute dresses and a fetching argyle tank and shorts combo. As you can see from the Flickr shots they look utterly delightful, and of course the quality is good and the movement on the prim skirts is excellent as always. The pirate motif frock is just superb. It’s called ‘Tragic Crossbone Kitty’ and costs a mere L$125..amazing price for great gear.  I  like the gauze skirt layers and the textures that Lawra has chosen very much. indeed. I do have one minor quibble, and it’s based entirely on personal preference…but that is I think the holes in the gloves are a tad on the large size, so I’d perhaps elect for a smaller mesh design.. however I don’t know how feasible that is and it’s not even that important really… I actually chose to wear the pirate dress with my favourite Panjen gloves, and it looks brilliant. I added Gritty Kitty hair into the mix, as well as a necklace from Canimal and some boots (not shown) and voila! Bloody lovely even if I say so myself! Moving on to the other outfits Lawra sent me and there was another uber pretty frock that I am sure Shinji’ll squeal over because it’s got pink in it. I think I’ve mentioned before I don’t especially like pink, BUT sometimes when I’ve worn it I’ve really liked it and looked pretty hot into the bargain. This dress ticks those boxes for me and then some. Again I elected for Gritty Kitty hair but this time the hair had a flash of pink to it which compliments the dress puurrfectly..and this one looks really good with my Neko ears and tail. I also wore my Gritty Kitty Stitched Heart necklace. I love the belt detail that Lawra has slung over the skirt, which is nicely bouncy flouncy and as sticky outy as I personally like to go. ( I’m so technical with my prose aren’t I?) Finally, I’ll mention the argyle tank and shorts combo, and I’ve taken close up shots for this so alas you don’t get to actually see the shorts (Trust me, they look good!) I really love this tank top. It wears really well with jeans and again the texture is good, it doesn’t stretch madly across my slightly larger than average norks which is always a positive sign. The seams are fine too, again reflecting the care that Lawra is taking with her work. All in all these latest releases from Nekorifik! are hugely satisfying and make me ever-so-slightly moist with anticipation for the next releases from Lawra. Well done chick! I must admit I’ve been a tad lax in reading your blog recently but I’ve just sat and devoured it..such nice things on display!! Woot! Oh and guys, go see- nice tees for you as well! Yay!!

I’ve never really considered being a different avatar other than my normal physical appearance,but ‘Plywood Man’ is too much fun to not give it a try:) A review box was dropped on me by Peter Stindberg, and at first I was kind of ‘What the f***k?’ but now I’m smitten..Basically you are a figure created predominately from plywood textured cubes, with joints. It reminds me of one of those jointed artist’s model dolls that you can get from Ikea. Obviously in this get-up you can’t exactly wear your favourite Last Call gown, but if you’re having a virtual bad hair day or have a ginormous pus-ridden zit on your chops (Ok, we all know that’s not even possible but just pretend!) then this avatar is *perfect* Incidentally, don’t think you can wear this and be inconspicuous- you can’t. It’s a real conversation piece, and it looks really bonkers on the dancefloor! Me? I wore it whilst doing my afore-mentioned landscaping my island, and while doing a bit of virtual weeding…I had lots of planting to do and I didn’t want to get my dungarees dirty..!
I even went shopping in this get-up…and people were gob-smacked when they saw it was me. ( I don’t know if that’s a compliment or not!)
Plywood Man costs L$199 from SL Exchange and is Linden dosh well spent for a giggle. He’s transferable and modifiable, so you can imagine the fun you can have changing his textures, and I think he’d make a really effective walking billboard! I think Plywood Man may be a tad more popular with the guys than the girls but seriously, I really enjoyed wearing this a lot more than I thought I would..it was a refreshing alternative to looking drop-dead gorgeous all the time!

Dernier Cri-that’ll do for me!

Dernier Cri-that’ll do for me!

Now, if I’ve been reliably informed, Dernier Cri is a new arrival to the metaverse from the teen Second Life grid. If that is the case then we have one amazingly talented teen in our midst, who has the potential to take the grid by storm-I kid you not! I’ve just had the pleasure of a hair-buying spree with a wonderful difference, demos that you try on and tint using a rather smashing menu system. It’s great fun watching the white demo-hair style come to life via the selection of your preferred shade, and of course no costly mistakes, because you can try *any* colour in the palette before you shell out. When you buy a style you can choose the colours in your pack too- another really neat, practical selling point for the store. Also, shock horror, I didn’t need to adjust this style it fit straight outta the box! I actually heartily recommend that you get all your buddies down to Dernier Cri and have a mass trying on session as it’s stupidly entertaining trying on all the hair in all the colours that you would never wear in a million years. After you’re all haired-out, then move onto the fashion items. The store itself is really nice and modern, and features excellent hand drawn clothing. In fact, if you need a swimsuit for summer 2008 then give this store a try because there are some lovely bathing suits and bikinis on sale too. I also really liked the sunglasses that were on display. One of the best things though is the price…very reasonable. A three-pack of the hairstyle of your choice in custom colours is a mere L$275. Clothing is just as reasonable, I bought the swimsuit in this shots for L$50. I have no complaints, I’m a satisfied shopper. Oh and the skin that I am wearing is on offer NOW at Artilleri’s mainstore. It’s called Emi and costs just L$1 for the Anett make-up, which includes all sorts of combos of eyebrow colour, freckles and pigmentation. it is an utter bargain and is only available for a limited time to group members ( join the group and wear your tag to buy) You can’t miss it, it’s on the stage. Gorgeous isn’t it? Why are you still here?? GO AND BUY IT! ( Especially you Shinji!)
