Adam n Eve Amelia

  • Posted on July 13, 2010 at 3:51 pm

Adam n Eve have this cute dress out called Amelia. It has so many options to it. Short skirt, long skirt, and pants.  It also contains a sculpted sash to wear around your waist.

I choose to go with the long skirt option.  I am so short in real life that I never wear long skirts (as they drag the ground) so I try to wear them in SL as much as possible. The top really catches my eye because of the texturing. I really like it when a clothing texture catches my eye. I almost want to run my fingers through the top’s fabric to feel it.

I paired it with this hair that, I am sure by now, people think is over-worn but I like it. I like how it is designed and I love the brown color. Don’t judge. :)

The Amelia dress gets Chubby Cat Approval because fitting it was a DREAM. First of all the sash is so well sculpted that the parts to it make complete sense when fitting.  I wore my mesh skirt shape in these pictures because when I wear things that cover the hiney in SL like sashes and such I always put on the mesh shape.  It took me 5 minutes to fit the sash.  I know it sounds lame but if I have to spend more than 15 minutes tweaking my clothing (all that I wear) for my avatar I give up. I have no patience. Not this outfit though, real simple to tweak the prims and I attribute that to the skill and experience of Sachi and Damen.

Adam n Eve also have a sweet rewards system for their customers. Here’s their website information and I recommend you join their group for more special VIP stuff.

Ya’ll (once again I have channeled Paula Deen), will just have to see for yourself, ya’ll.

Teleport to Adam n Eve and shop away.

Virtual Shoes and Fat Calves

  • Posted on February 8, 2010 at 8:32 am

I own 2 pairs of knee high boots in the 3 years I’ve been in SL. One is prim and I never wear them because the calf part looks chunky and the other is a texture based calf part which looks awesome but the shoes are seriously dated (um hello 2007?).

For a long time I’ve been meaning to head over to J’s shoes as I’ve seen them on various blog posts but I’ve not been able to make it into SL. So recently I created some new stuff and needed some shoes to go with the outfit so I said, “Hells bells, I will hit up J’s for some boots”.

Buying shoes that go up the calves for my avatar is difficult. Well let me rephrase that. It’s easy to buy any shoes in general but I am very particular about fitting things and finding something that looks good is very difficult. Usually boots make my calves look like elephant legs with no hint of an ankle at all. They cankle-ize me.

Look at how close the knee  high boots fit to my avatar’s calves. It’s AWESOME!

Although I just demo’ed these (I plan to buy them later- the fat pack!!!!) the shoes I really needed for the outfit was the ankle high rounded boots. These look FANTASTIC and on hindsight I am sad I didn’t buy the fatpack.

Prim toes and Kesseret are 2 things that DON’T get along. My friend Iris Bourdielle made prim toes years ago and I wore her shoes for a long while but since then I’ve not found a pair that looked good on me or fit well. Sadly, since there are so many fantastic prim feet/toe shoe designers. (Despite the fact that many people have no reading comprehension skills and can’t understand the difference between not liking how something fits and writing about it v. completely dissing someone’s work I *do* admire Stiletto Moody shoes and their quality a lot.)
I love the fact that J’s offers demos! HOLY DEMO BATMAN! So I tried on these strappy numbers at J’s and they have a resize script (which I HATE) but it took 4 clicks and I was fitted. I also saw a delete option. How sexy is that? So I bought the fatpack. And you know what else I saw? THEY SCRIPT TEXTURE CHANGE! I AM IN LOVE! I love texture changing scripts so much that I actually use them myself.
Just see how sexy they look on me yourself:

I am still trying to figure out the toe matching to the skin. Do skin providers provide RGB info on their skins? I heard wind of it but never needed it before. If so can someone hook a sista up? :)

But seriously, look at the way the straps fit! PERFECTLY! And this only took like 4 clicks to fit!!!! I seriously shit twice and died when I tried these on. My only desire is to have the script remove the resizing option and keep the texture change once they are fit. Which if it’s all one script that’s impossible. I am not a big fan of toe jewelry but I like the flower. It’s cute so I sometimes turn that feature on.

They are CHUBBY CAT APPROVED.

SLURL TO J’S

Love,
Kesseret
