Gentle Repose

Image PeepSideshow DarkwardLeave a comment

This kind of describes the way I feel today: I spent the time to find something cute to wear and then…maybe a bit of a lie down. I thought “Gentle Repose” sounded better than “Lazy Slob” so that’s the title I went with.

In case you have a bit more energy than I do, you’ll want to head to Uber for the Kaylah Jeans from Just BECAUSE. They come with four versions: long with both tight and loose fits and for boots, also with tight and loose fits. The loose fit styles work with many bodysuits or tucked shirts. But still, try a demo to make sure they work with your selection. The boot style works perfectly with the Anna Boots from Just BECAUSE (available at the main store or on Marketplace, but they may work with other knee-high boots.

Before my lethargy set in, I visited the [Aleutia] main store to take advantage of the new store opening sale. Items are 25-50% off, with an additional 25% discount for group members. I picked up a few things, including the top I am wearing, which comes with a HUD to customise like crazy. The sale runs through October 1st, so even if you’re having a case of the lazies, too, you still have a bit of time to take advantage.

For any other information about my styling, please peruse the credits. I think I’ll just take a nap.

Before It’s Too Late

Skin Fair 2017 is drawing to a close. It finishes on Sunday, March 26th, so if you haven’t been yet, you had better add it to your agenda for the weekend. Even if you have been already, there is never any harm in making one last trip to make sure you haven’t missed something essential.

After you have made your final Skin Fair visit, it will be time for the opening of Uber. Just look at this lovely top from *Just BECAUSE*. It is daring and sexy and sweet at the same time! I am wearing one of the patterns that is exclusive with the purchase of the Fatpack. There are eight floral prints in addition to the standard *JB* pallete, so it is well worth the splash-out.

Please note that Annie has included this note:

Rigging is a very hard process, and when you have two mesh items layered close to each other such as clothing and bodies with different topology, it will never be exact. Alphas help with this and are our friends. However, sometimes, alphas can’t always cover certain areas depending on the mesh item.

Please note that this mesh item was especially hard to rig due to the difficulty of rigging to the shoulders and armpits and not being able to use alphas in those regions. Trying to have mesh lay over the top of the armpits and move without clipping is nearly impossible. Some clipping may occur with certain poses and animations. We have done our very best with rigging this item, but couldn’t make it perfect.

As such we STRONGLY ADVISE trying a FREE demo of this item!

That being said, I have had no problems with the rigging and trust me, I put this top through a LOT of poses today!

You will also want to pick up the Sadie Platforms from fri.day when Shoetopia opens. It opens on the 25th, but as I write this I am not sure if it already open or if it opens later today. I’m afraid I don’t have a SLurl to the event at this time, but I will do my best to update this post when it is available. In the meantime, you can just drool over my shoes (which come with optional over-the-knee socks for Maitreya Lara with a four-colour texture change HUD). *Edit: Link has been added

So, your task for the weekend is to try to get into Uber and Shoetopia after you have visited Skin Fair…before it’s too late.
