Outfit description here

I owe it in big part to Looker Lumet for meeting the incredibly surprising Nevery Lorakeet. Of course I knew her Flickr gallery like most of us flickrites of SL. But being invited to one of the Avatrait nights, where she was exhibiting her work, we got to “meet” and talk a little. A few weeks later, Neve sent me a folder, with eyelashes. Anyone who has known me long enough in SL knows i’m not an eyelashes person, I hardly know or have the patience to put them right, and i refuse to edit the shape of my eyes. Neve’s lashes were so unexpected, they were like her Flickr work: incredibly creative, with a passion for details and feminity. I already blogged a couple of them. Last week, out of curiosity perhaps, she sent me a skin she has been working on…. Here is the contrast between her “greek mermaid” skin, a cyber kimono, and the amazing CHINA sim background.

I’m Fine Caliber, and my job here at Uncover is keeping you considerate of others while we all pile into the same sim.  To do this, I use my ARC as a guide and go for unscripted items or items with removable scripts.

Over the next few posts, I’ll show you how I stay “in the green” without compromising style. The above outfit is around 750 ARC with 32 scripts, 26 of them irremovable in the shoes.  If I port into a busy sim, the first to go are my lashes. Those alone will save me 150 ARC.

The outfit below is 640 with a script count of 5. This is my go-to outfit folder.  It’s because of the ROT boots: three prims a piece and an option to change the quality of the texture, aiding you in reducing lag for yourself and everybody else.

It’s “do unto others” and all that, but, really, it’s peace of mind in knowing your outfit will rez-in faster than everybody else’s.

When a few days ago I asked DP (aka Designerpete Enyo) to do a pile up for us, I thought it would be fair to leave him some choice of inspiration, so I emailed to him several possible snapshots. All I asked was “pick one”. And I got an extra portion of dessert, as he sent me two.

For all the B@re Rose fans, here is Envy, released on October 31st. And here is June’s little story about this outfit.

ENVY

“Made for AJE Production’s 7 Sins fashion show at Halloween. My contribution was Envy. I created other outfits, first one called Dogu outfits, since envious people don’t see themselves so covered in boxes and pointy, wired looks, but I overdid the wired look, so remade it as this dress. Green is the color most often associated with Envy, so this is the base color. Envy is a twisted emotion, so I made some twisted shapes around chest and skirt.  On the left side of the chest, there is an eye symbol looking at the person who is the target, but it is slightly hiden, to not look straight when the wearer of the outfit is most envious. Half of the arm is armored against anyone who is on the eye. But the wearer of the outfit does not know how beautiful she is, therefore half of one side is naked with a beautiful deco the on head.”

I ONLY SAID….

The Orian style kimono was made for the 4th aniversary of the store. I have created similar outfits for each annual show. The kimono wearer is coverd by two kimono. One side is exposed, sheer similar to underwear. The hair pin featured Shamisen guitar parts, which Oiran play during a performance.  The title was taken from the song ‘My Bloody Valentine’, my most favourite music, the lyrics being well-suited for Orian, as they are prisoners of the brothels.  She can not ask for help, even if she has fallen in love with a man. The Chain and Mouth Mascot symbolized the hard life they live.

UNDINE
One of my customers asked me to make a new mermaid, since I hadn’t made one in a long time. She wanted goth and witch style, so I tried to make one like that. I started with remaking an AO and made a posestand this time to assist with building. I  made grander poses and movements for a wicked woman mermaid. After that, I got the idea that she should be living in the deep sea.  I used the Arowana photo from my graphic library, encorporating all the texture for prims / clothes (except eyes) from that. To enhance the deep sea feel of the mermaid, I made the tail similar to an invertebrate animal. While making the texture, I added frills like fur around the arms to resemble a fur shawl in silhouette. This outfit had no name until it was complteted, but was named Undine after I read a story about this mythical water nymph who could curse her unfaithful husband.
