Show Support for a Second Life Artist in this Real Life Dress

Janine "Iris Ophelia" Hawkins' ongoing review of gaming and virtual world style

If you'd like to wear your love of Second Life designers on your sleeve, then... Well, I have terrible news, because this chic dress and this shirt featuring art by SL's own Nylon Pinkney are both quite sleeveless.

Nylon (of Tableau, Paper Couture and Nylon Outfitters fame) has made her typically colorful and exaggerated digital art available in reality through her Society6 storefront for some time, including the bug-girl images from her recent round of gacha prizes for The Arcade. Now she's testing out Print All Over Me, a site that lets users print and sell their work on an array of items like the strapless dress pictured on the left. With the charming sidelong glance of the "Kate" dress ringing in at $125.00 PAOM is not exactly cheap, but if you're looking to support an SL artist artists while also adding a unique piece to your wardrobe, it may be worth the cost.

You can visit Nylon Pinkney's (currently small) PAOM shop here, and if you know of any other Second Life creators selling their designs online please share the details in the comments below!
