I’m feeling quite royal and privileged in my look tonight! Of course it’s mostly hidden by this absolute stunner of a gown, but I’m wearing a pre-release of the new V5 Tonic body and it’s definitely giving me that inner glow. Although the Tonic body has always been my favorite, the V5 is a newer, smoother mesh that’s even more beautiful. What does smoother mean in terms of mesh (and yes, I asked the same question)? Simply put, smoother means easier on the eyes and smoother for animating. Not only is the body itself improved, but it comes with a brand new HUD filled with LOTS of goodies that I’m still discovering — more detailed nipples, more skin tones, more neck sizes, more layer controls, built-in heel lock, more nail polish colors, and the ability to wear different colors on different nails (is that cool or what !?!).
And that’s what’s going on UNDER the gown! Once again Rene Broux of Allure Couture has outdone herself with another stunning exclusive for the now renamed and excitingly relaunched TheEvent (because it’s The event to go to!)… the fit, the texture, the GLOVES (OMG how I’ve missed my gloves, I haven’t had formal elbow-length gloves since I went to a mesh body), the little semi-transparent shoulder drape, the included gold high heels, this is another formal gown to die for… perfectly accentuated by the tiara and earrings from Stone’s Works, which give the added touch of finery, without being too glitzy or overpowering. I had originally wanted my picture to be one of going to meet the queen at Buckingham Palace, but couldn’t find anything remotely similar here on the grid. Instead, I’m definitely fit to be Queen for a Day myself… or two… or three… so you can come and meet me… 😉
