0014 - TNT Wings

Now two days in a row I wanted to blog about a certain outfit, searched fitting accessories and made some nice pics, and again I realised, that someone else allready wrote about the same dress a couple of hours earlier... yayyyy! So... I deleted all my work. That means, its time for a TNT-post. I decided to write something about wings... because there is more to say about wings then only: wow! 

1. Scripted Naida in Red Wings from *IW* - I like the texture. 

  As a fairy, Im always looking for some nice wings, even if I started to make some wings myself. I found lots of inflexible wings, that were like some stiff boards. Honestly... wearing such wings doesnt make you look very fairy like, even if some nice textures have been used for the wings. So its a good bet to find flexible wings, or inflexible wings that are modifiy, so you can add some flexibility yourself.

2. Both the Sunset Fairy Wings,
aswell as...

3. ...the Rainbow Wings, you can find
at Deviance.

4. Nicely animated Kimono Bat Wings.

Some people like animated wings, that are for example flapping as soon as you touch them. Depending on the script or the tool that was used to animate the wings, that can be quite pretty. In some cases the scripted wings have kind of nice, liquid movements (f.e. the Kimono Bat Wings, you can see above). Others have jerky movements, which is as ungainly as inflexible wings. So if some designers offer scripted wings, you should try to get a demo to see, if you like the movements, otherwise you will probably be disappointed. There are - by the way - also wings with special scripts (f.e. xcite!-compatible wings). Be aware that scripted items are generally producing lag (more or less - depending on the script).

6. Funny, bubbly wings.

5. Particle wings... pretty aswell.

7. Butterfly Wings from Frozen Night

6. "Dusk wings" from Wishbox (free gift)

0005 - Fallen in Red

It can happen, that a man forgets valentines day in RL. It is absolutely impossible, that this happens in SL! Pink and red and tons of hearts-textures all over the grid! Yep, one thing is sure: the commercialization of holidays is in SL almost stronger than in RL. Now I was looking for some outfit, that fits for valentines day, without beeing completely "sugary" - that was quite difficult.

• Skin: "London" from Cupcakes, available at FabFree Station (free)
• Hair: "Jessica" from Pazazz Hair, available at Savoir Hair (free)
• Eyes: "Plum in the water eyes" available on marketplace (1L)
• Wings: "Red feather wings" from... myself, available on marketplace (free)
• Dress: "Gipsy chemise red" from Wishbox (lucky chair) - without flower-belt
• Wreath: "Red wreath" from VLW Flowerchild (MM-board) **

** As you have probably seen, I used the wreath from VLW Flowerchild as a belt aswell. IMPORTANT: The boxed wreath IS copy but is NOT modifiable or transferable. So before (!) you unpack it, make a copy of the box. Because as soon as you have unpacked the box, the wreath is NO COPY but it IS modifiable and transferable! If you want to make a belt from your hair-wreath: open the second wreath-box, rename it into flower belt, and attach the "wreath" to your stomach and adjust the position... and there you have a belt that fits with the hair-wreath ;)

UPDATE:

Another red dress... this time a hunt-gift from Inga Wind clothing:

• Dress: "Avril" in red from Inga Wind Clothing (free gift from shop-hunt: you need to find 6 hearts filled with parts of this outfit - there is a pair of shoes included, that Im not wearing on the picture!)
• Wreath/Belt/Wings: the same ones used for the dress above!
