Hello, Ghostbusters?

 

http://Hello, Ghostbusters?

So I just realized that just like IRL, I wear a lot of black in Second Life.  There’s one major difference, though… I can do a lot more with it here on the grid! Just the ability to change the tone of my hair and skin, not to mention all the fantastic accessories that are available, makes everything pop so much more.  And of course the styles are just so exceedingly more exciting to wear… and not just because I have the body of my dreams, but it sure doesn’t hurt lol!  IRL I’m often struggling to make the clothes I own fit the occasion; it’s rare that I go out and buy something special unless it’s for a really important wedding or something of that nature. It’s often the exact opposite in SL… as a blogger, I’m usually searching for the “scene” to wear my clothes.  But it generally all works out, in both worlds, though admittedly sometimes it’s harder than others… especially IRL! I will say this though: I have so much fun setting up scenes here in Second Life! Take this one for example… the moment I entered this spooky little backdrop, the entry side “closed up” behind me, and all I could hear in my head was Ghostbusters music… from there, it was easy!  After all, in a spooky situation, who you gonna call???  Happy shopping!!!

  • Dress:  !!smesh – Black Romper & Boots.  Sized for Slink Hourglass, Belleza Freya, & Maitreya, this is a sexy little romper that’s made for curves.  Its plunging neckline can be worn with or without the straps & grommets, & the whole romper has a muted print, which creates an interesting  contrast of not-so-subtle sexuality.  LOVE IT!!!  Available at the Designer Circle 21/19, open Oct 20th – Nov 2nd.  Demo available.
  • Hair:  Firelight – Callie Hair/Fatpack (Thick Edition).  Fun curly hair, shoulder length with long bangs swept up & over to one side, but what makes this hair so different is the thickness… you can just tell it would be bouncy & would demand to be touched.  Available in 6 color packs or as a fatpack, each with rigged & unrigged versions, in two different effects.  See the close-up below.  EXCLUSIVELY at the Designer Circle 21/19, open Oct 20th – Nov 2nd.  Demo available.  A We Love to Blog designer.
  • Backdrop:  Adorably Strange Wares – The Daire Backdrop.  I think this is the coolest backdrop! First off, once you enter, the back “closes” up behind you, so it’s like you’re suddenly in an enclosed room. Spooky, but it also means that you can shoot from any angle without worrying about falling outside the perimeters of the box! Then the ghostly colored lights seep out from under the doors & then mist away; the lights behind the barred door brighten & fade. Truly awesome! Available at the October Swank Event, through October 28th.
  • Headband:   in.SANITY Designs – Black Cat headband.  Just a fun little item to add a touch of Halloween to almost any outfit. Includes a HUD to change the color of the kitties’ hats to any of 5 colors, as well as a resize script. See the closeup below  for an idea of how cute these really are! Best of all? It’s the current GROUP GIFT!!!
