When The Bough Breaks

1 Cold Out sm

Winter is slowly finding its way to Second Life. While there are still some sims sporting autumn colours and some that just stay the same summery or springy style all year round, there are more and more opportunities to frolic in the virtual snow. Pull on some snug boots, throw on your favourite jeans and toss on a sexy jacket and you’re prepped for stepping out or just lounging on the nearest branch.

Since I didn’t get to partake of Thanksgiving dinner this year, I’m hoping I’ll be able to get out of this pose before the bough breaks.

This cute jacket will be 50% off at Apple May Designs on November 29th for Lazy Sunday. It comes in a variety of colours – something that will suit your mood, I’m certain. The boots by fri.day are available at Kustom9 through Dec. 10th. You can check the credits for all of the other goodness.

Scooped

1 Scooped sm

Sometimes it all comes together.

I’ve had this pose by !bang for Sad November all month. I just hadn’t found the inspiration to blog it.

Couples poses can be tough, especially those where the pair are entwined, like this one, if you’re wanting to show off clothes. And if you’re wanting to showcase it, you have to be careful to stage your scene so that it is a centerpiece, and not lost amongst the furnishings.

Enter the body tattoos by Clemmm for Enchantment. It is just the thing to bring focus to the pose, while showing off some awesome ink.

Even more amazing is that I was able to get Chance and myself both in the event the day after it opened!

I was a bit disappointed that the Slink applier for this tattoo doesn’t work with the Slink Physique male mesh body, but when Chance is stripped down to his basics, he still looks pretty good. The only real issue was that I didn’t want to have to try to edit his system hands, so he’s wearing his Slink appendages. I had to touch up the hand tattoo in Photoshop. I didn’t make it look as good as the real deal, but I did my best.

Despite that minor issue, I think we scooped up some good stuff 😉
