Many years ago, I lived on a huge series of interconnected sims with lots of open sailable water. In addition to having wonderful views of beautifully landscaped islands across the way, one of my greatest joys was to hop in a boat after a stressful day at work in RL, and cruise the waterways… looking at what other people had done with their property, marveling at the creativity (or on occasion, the lack thereof), imagining the breeze in our hair, and the feel of the spray on our skin. Then the sim owner split the sims into a checkerboard “for greater privacy”, boating was lost, and ever since it’s been one of those things we’ve talked about finding a way to do, but just never have. Until now. As I said a few posts back, I recently purchased a tiny oasis connected to a sailable sea, and have been busy boat shopping whenever I can. It’s a lot harder than you think, especially when you’re dealing with very limited prims and space (some of these boats have more land impact than my lot can hold with nothing else on it lol!). And because they’re SOOOO expensive, I do want to be sure that we get the best one for our needs… which means it not only looks good and is fun to drive, but is loaded with anims that make me look good too! We’ve narrowed it down to 4 choices, and I’m really pressing to make a decision. Maybe it’s this one? Or this? Or wait… I think THIS is the one!!!! 😉
- Outfit: Wang – Kamily Skirt & Top, that looks almost like a dress. The top is just a sexy little ruffle that’s waaaay-off-shoulder & then sheer netting; the skirt has some of the netting but adds lacing down the front. Includes 4 color options (see the ad below), so you can easily make this dressier or more casual & look awesome either way! Sized for Slink P/H, Belleza V/I/F, & Maitreya. Just 99L at the Designer Circle 07/19 March 30th – April 13th.
- Shoes: [Sheba] Creations – Helen Sandals, have that open summery look that can dress up or down, which makes them the perfect addition to every closet! Includes a 50-texture HUD that lets you set a main color for the base of the shoe/heel & another for the “strips”; in sizes for Slink, Belleza, & Maitreya. Demo available.
- Skin: 7 Deadly s[K]ins – Alexandria has a beautiful island feel, with very light freckles & moles (I, of course, add more!), beautiful shading around the eyes, & the barest dark pink gloss to the lips. She’s so gorgeous & so indescribable, I included a pic below. She’s based on the new Genus strong face (which frankly, I’m dying to have!), but since she’s an Omega skin, she looks simply glorious on LAQ & other mesh heads too. She’s the EXCLUSIVE at the Designer Showcase that opens today, April 5th, with 14 skin tones available individually for just 175L each or 800L per fatpack of light/dark tones. I’m wearing her in Cashew with the browless option. Shape & demos also available.
