Twisted Color Challenge: Week 36: Great White Way

The Great White Way is a combination of a creamish color and a pale blue, both delicate and challenging to find in Second Life. Luckily, Eclectica just released new shoes, and they formed the basis for my outfit - the cream of the shoe and the pale blue, texture change trim. The button can also be texture changed, and I tinted it gold to reflect the shade of my hair since my skin was so close to the cream of this challenge already. I love the teardrop pattern on these, and the sleek simplicity of the shape; they somehow seem both realistic and luxurious, and I'm totally going to be wearing these a lot. My other duel-colored accessory is this amazing pipe, a new release from De La Soul and available at the We Love RP Event. It comes with a texture-changing HUD, and pretty much everything on it can change between a variety of shades - not a full rainbow, but harmonious cool shades with craculature texturing. It also has this very delicate, gorgeous smoke which filters up from it.

My eyeshadow is another We Love RP Event release, though I picked it up at the Fantasy Faire before that closed. It's delicately rendered, ombres of related colors, like the purple and blue shown above, released by Musa. I'm an enormous fan of fades, so this one makes me fairly wriggle with joy. Finally, my gorgeous dress is a release from Sweeter Than Candy, which was one of the first stores on the grid where I haunted her lucky chair and kept picking up her releases. In a lot of ways, it feels like her store has grown with me; starting with flexi-skirts in brilliant colors, she's matured into mesh with aplomb.

Color Challenge: Week Twelve - Taupe

Week twelve of Luna Jubilee's color challenge was a total challenge. I am seriously not a brown or neutrals kind of person, and I wasn't sure I owned any taupe.

Yay for inventory search! I turned up some taupe from Sn@tch, and some really old shoes from Sweeter Than Candy (I don't think she actually sells them anymore). I ended up with a kind of beachy outfit with spots of darkness. It shows a bit of belly, but tastefully so I think. I like the swirl of the skirt, and balanced the black of the top with black stockings and black water both.

When looking for a place to pose, I ended up on the taupish beaches of Whimsy, the home of Chey and her sweetie, which I'd read about for ages but never actually gone to (and even this time I didn't really explore. I ended up lurking around the sands, snatching some beachy piratey pictures, and then bouncing back to my lucky board stalking). I particularly liked the pirate map. Perhaps someday when I'm feeling wandery, I will settle in and explore - or maybe I might bring friends!

It's seems a charming place, but I suppose I'm feeling a little flat and neutral today - not much energy for raptures about the world. And since Whimsy seems like a perfect place to be enthusiastic, I want to save it for an enthusiastic day.
