Second Life Fashion Friday: Detail-Rich Style Shots from Filthy Imouto

Cajsa Lilliehook covers the best in virtual world screenshot art and digital painting

お休みなさい or Good Night is the fashion blog on Tumblr of Filthy Imouto. Her style is fantastical, out of anime graphic novels or tv shows. Her pictures make me think she’s playing a find-the-avatar game. The picture above comes from Number 91 Ichigo.

Unlike most bloggers, she provides more complete credits on Flickr with more pictures (a close-up) on Tumblr. I love how she is falling into a bed of cherry blossoms and strawberries that so perfectly matches her outfit that you have to look closely, a clever way of getting you to stop paging down. Besides, doesn’t this make you think of a confection, like a strawberry trifle?

Pumpkin Spice Fashion Photos for Friday from... Squibby Von Beipi!

Cajsa Lilliehook covers the best in virtual world

Squibby Von Beipi is a Flickr microblogger. She recently posted “Pumpkin Spice Season.” I confess I have never tasted a Pumpkin Spice drink and I hope I never will, but it does seem to have become the modern harbinger of fall taking over the internal calendar spot once held by the raucous honks of geese flying south. I love the color story in this picture and that sweater is to die for. 

Four of the items in this post are at Equal 10. I just wish she had credited that pumpkin spice latte, not that I would drink it! However, searching for it, I think I found it or something close enough, the MVT Pumpkin Spice Drink Set which is a gacha being resold. It’s likely she didn’t credit it because it’s not on sale except by resellers. It’s from MOVEMENTT who specializes in holdables and you probably could find something similar. Teleport to store, here. 

Equal 10 Items - Main Sim TP (Ends October 5th) 

•  DOUX - Light hairstyle
• .miss chelsea. Rene - Sweater + Jumpsuit.
• Ladybird. // Mahina (Chest)
• Ladybird. // Stelle (Forehead)

Friday Fashion Finds for Anime Avatars by Alma Berta

Cajsa Lilliehook covers the best in virtual world screenshot art and digital painting

Alma Berta is a Flickr microblogger whose anime characters are having fun. I am particularly fond of “Special Heart” because she is wearing the right-sized garters and not those too-tight-thigh-squeezing-circulation-stopping monstrosities with red and irritated skin. These garters fit. They also won’t cause blood clots or compartment syndrome. Click through for more detailed credits. 

• Insomnia Angel . Ellis hime sleeves at Mainstore
• Insomnia Angel . Lize strap leg garter available at Dubai Event until Sept 15th

Second Life Fashion Friday: Dramatic Male Styles from The Wildness Factor

Cajsa Lilliehook covers the best in virtual world screenshot art and digital painting

The Wildness Factor is a blog brought to you by Jack Wild or, more specifically, 00JackWild00. It’s a men’s fashion blog that goes for classic looks with a man who is going about his daily life. Getting in his car, going to his apartment, walking in the rain, etc. His style focuses on neutral colors and styles that will be popular for years to come.

Take this outfit from his Post 596, Is there are more classic wool print than the houndstooth? It’s been around for over two thousand years and still looks good. The leather and wood toggle closure is another nod to historic clothing. Add a cable knit sweater, grey wool pants and a flat cap and you have an outfit ready for anything.

Someone Recreated Donald Trump's Mar-a-Lago Bathroom Hiding Stolen State Secrets in Second Life!

Cajsa Lilliehook covers the best in virtual world screenshot art and digital painting

Sedition Chic is a Second Life home décor blog post after my own heart, recreating Donald Trump's favorite Mar-a-Lago bathroom:

This new, up and coming storage option let's you surround yourself with state secrets you have no business having, and makes that useless sixth bathroom you never use a cozy place to commit treason. The addition of copy machine gives a fun and dangerous air of espionage to the surroundings. And if you do ever need to take a dump, you'll never be lacking for reading material!

Much more pics here. Most of the world has been exclaiming over a Trump’s idea of bathroom décor. I thought it would be fun to see what other folks could do with boxes. I imagine kraft brown would look good with a tropical décor. 

The reason grocery bags, packing materials, and most cardboard boxes are kraft brown, by the way, is the wood to make them is pulped mechanically (Kraft process) while white and colored papers are pulped with sulfite, which weakens the cellulose, making a weaker product. If you look up bankers boxes, you will see the heavy duty boxes are brown while medium-duty boxes are white. Even in storage, the choices were poorly made. 

Skye Donardson who blogs at The Feathered Nest went with a look quite faithful to the Mar-a-Logo original in its spirit. It comes complete with a chandelier. Her chandelier looks better placed by far. I love that she added a photocopier, showing her far more forward-thinking and competent at violating the Espionage Act.

SL Fashion Friday: Seriously Inventive Styles by Emily Nuyasaka

Cajsa Lilliehook covers the best in virtual world screenshot art and digital painting

Cheap Whim Chameleon is a Japanese fashion blog by Emily Nuyasaka. You will need Google translate for this one because she does more than post pictures and credits, she tells you about her styling and her life. Her styles are wild and inventive and each post is a compendium of outfits.

Post #119 has fourteen different outfits and not slapdash, tossing on whatever is in a prepackaged outfit, but unique styling that mixes things from many creators.

She also writes about her outfits, giving some background to her thought process. I was drawn by the human disco ball. Right after she styled this she found Dayah Modo on Instagram, real life disco ball human.  It must have been fate.

Shopping details for this outfit after the break, plus another Emily look:

 

SL Friday Fashion Finds Both Classy & Sexy from LeYo

Cajsa Lilliehook covers the best in virtual world screenshot art and digital painting

LeYo [MaziKeenFr] is an unusual blogger in that most of her pictures are in black and white. Not all. Occasionally she does a color picture when it’s important to present the items in color. She is a great blogger who seeks out actual clothes along with the sexy lingerie and clubwear. I love this gorgeous gown with the dramatic collar. It’s from Sascha’s Designs. The lighting emphasizes the contrast between her skin and the gown.
