If, like me, you are pleased with this year's fashion trend, in both RL and SL, of higher waist lines, then you'll be very happy with the latest offering from Ducknipple. Hopefully this stylistic rejection of butt cleavage stays with us and we'll no longer have to look at people's underthings every time they bend down to pick up that quarter they dropped in the grocery line.

New are 8 versions of the cocktail dress, complete with a sculpty skirt and belt. They are wonderfully airy and summery, perfect for that trip to the seashore or a quaint old European town. As is the usual for Ducknipple, the detail is marvelous, with stitching, seams and fine folds all apparent and nice detail in the belts. They are L$175 each, or the 8 set fat pack, which I bought, goes for the bargain price of L$500.

My favourite, shown above, is the cherry set.

The red plaid set is also quite nice. Check out all the colours in store. Now, like a lot of new sculpty clothes they do require some adjustment for best fit and the sculpty parts interfere with some animations, but these are well worth it.

Also new to me are the December Glasses No.49. They have scripted colur change for frames and lenses (shown here in wine with clear lenses), adjustable positions and bling should one still desire bling effects. Available for L$300.

First 2 shots taken in Luxembourg City, a lovely sim recreating the old fortress city.

Wednesday Post

Last Thursday I popped into fri.day to pick up a new outfit for a hot date I had on Saturday night. The store, owned by Parvati Monday, features some great clothes, poses and hair.

What stood out to me was the Reverie.Dress. At first glance, it hardly looks like a hot date item, but this outfit is great for taking you from morning to night, any day of the week. The bargain price of L$250 gets you layer upon layer of a vary versatile outfit available in 8 colours or a fat pack for L$1400 for those that like all the colours.


It starts with a more business like outfit, complete with tie that can be worn out or tucked in. Perfect for those long days in the office.


Then you're ready to grab dinner after work by tucking the dress under the top, a little more casual.


After dinner, you're ready to let down your hair and kick up your heels for a night on the town when you take the top of and wear the wonderful little black dress on its own!

The outfit comes with multi layers for every piece and prim sleeves and collar and tie plus a skinny belt.

Also shown in the first 2 pics is the fri.day Dylan hair. Sets are $L250 and available in the usual pack of blonds, brunettes, blacks and whites. The last shot features the fri.day Marie hair, same price and colurs options, but with a colour scripted flower too.

First pic taken in the Urban Ghetto Sim. Second shot taken in the very interesting Hotel Chelsea sim, featuring an SL version of Manhattan's famous Chelsea Hotel. The last shot is from one of my favourite clubs, alt7. They play a great selection of indie and alternative music with DJs from around the world.

The first pose is from my ORACUL Ao set, the second and third come from Long Awkward pose and were $L50 each, with full sets available.
