Anchors Aweigh

More Newport News.

The Liaison Collaborative is in full swing now, with tons of fashion, decor and poses for you. In case you’re wondering, TLC has switched back to all product types in each round, rather than splitting between fashion and home & garden. I like this; it means you can decorate in the same theme as your outfit, all in one easy shopping experience!

Today I’m going to focus on the top from NX-Nardcotix and the pose prop from Le Poppycock. Each top comes in both an opaque and sheer version, so you can either be chaste and fashionable or daring and fashionable! Or, you can probably use the sheer version as a cover up, but hey, nothing wrong with letting the girls get a little discreet air 😉 I like this traditional anchor-stripe design, personally, but there are multiple choices, all of which are beach-themed and lovely, so I have no doubt there is a style for you.

What I love most about the dock and pose from Le Poppycock is that it comes in both a rezzable and a wearable version. I emphasised the “wearble” bit because it allows you to use your prop on sims where you don’t have rez rights. And of course, you can edit it for your height and to get just the right angle for yourself. I do advise that you not try to walk around while wearing it; Nobody wants to be pushed off the dock into the water – mobile phones still aren’t fully waterproof and you wouldn’t want to have to pay someone’s dry cleaning bill for your awkwardness.

The Liaison Collaborative runs through June 30, so weigh anchor and sail over for the summer!

A Face I Can Live With

I took the Mesh Head plunge at CATWA this weekend. I have tried others, but they just didn’t seem to suit me; unlike Alice, which just seems to be a good fit for me. With the addition of having a CATWA applier for my current skin by Elysium, I think I have switched for good. I have been so tempted by the beautiful appliers for mesh heads, but for the first time, I found a face I can live with. I haven’t taken it off since I rezzed it out of the box and started adjusting my shape, my eyes, fiddling with hairbase appliers, makeup and expressions. And she photographs like a dream.

I really like this cozy little corner I created to showcase some of the items from The Liaison Collaborative. I was going to do a second photo for the dress from Salt & Pepper, but I decided to try out the poses in the couch and it worked. Even seated, it shows off the sexy little number Salt has created for The Dark Style Fair 3. I didn’t even take dozens of shots; well, close, but under 2 dozen 😉
