Janine "Iris Ophelia" Hawkins' ongoing review of gaming and virtual world style
Cutie Moon (a Second Life shopping event inspired by classic magical girl series Sailor Moon) will be opening its doors tomorrow, so it's no surprise that many SL fashion bloggers and photographers are already bringing their A-game to showcase the incredibly cute items that will be available.
My favorite pic so far is easily the one shown above, "Cutie Scouts" by Xantheanne Resident of Xantheanne's 2nd Life. Her scouts aren't perfect copies of the originals, but they (along with the playfully minimalistic background effects she staged) evoke that "Magical Girl" feeling perfectly. It's a clean, bright, balanced and beautiful snapshot all around.
As excited as I am for Cutie Moon itself, I'm even more excited to see what everyone else will do with it. If you want to see more from the Cutie Moon fair, I'll be posting my own coverage (and pics, of course!) this Wednesday. Until then, keep an eye on the Cutie Moon Flickr group for item previews and more gorgeous blogger pics.
Iris Ophelia (@bleatingheart, Janine Hawkins IRL) has been featured in the New York Times, and has spoken about SL-based design at the Fashion Institute of Technology in Manhattan and with pop culture/fashion maven Johanna Blakley.
Its pre-mesh mostly, but a number of things in a Sailor Moon look can be found at Bare@Rose
