Drama Queens

American Bazaar has been coming out with great stuff all month, but my favorite are the cool retro tops and pin-up shorts combination from the latest edition of the Boobies Show. These outfits with their various color combinations and vintage vibe are perfect for your inner bad girl and are guaranteed to bring lots of attention as you wander around the grid starting drama (see the last pic for why).

The hair here from Tableau Vivant and MONS are both gifts from Hair Fair, which ends today (or maybe tomorrow, I'm so confused). In any case, if you haven't been, rush over there before it ends for the latest releases and some amazing free stuffs (see my recent post for the gift from MiaMai).

I mentioned in my last posts featuring BSD Design Studio and Shoe Fair that there were some great things to be found there. Well the mesh platforms shown below are a free gift from Deer at Shoe Fair and come with a texture-change hud with a bazillion colors to choose from. Check out SL's top shoe designers all in one place before the event ends on July 31.

Safari Style

Some safari style today (and more to come in my next post) with two mesh outfit gifts from Mystic Tiger found at Hair Fair. These include various colors/detail options and each piece is available as separates. Shoes and bags here are by BSD Design Studio, including recent group gifts (but note the joiner fee). BSD is sponsoring Shoe Fair and that is an event you don't want to miss for the latest shoe releases (and the occasional gift sprinkled around).

The two stunning shapes here are by Baholi and you can get them through today at just 55l over at Fi* Friday. The skins include the latest gift from Hush Skins and a pre-release skin from Aeva, available this week for just 75l. The hair from Wasabi Pills (new release) and Miamai (free) is from Hair Fair, but I doubt you need any reminders to visit that event...

Little Warehouse Pt.2

Following up my previous post, here are a few more fashion shots and images of the decor I've used in Bauwerk's Little Warehouse skybox for this month's Challenge round.

Some general words on the build: it's Mesh (land impact of 44 prims) and features high ceilings, exposed ventilation ducting and monumental florescent style lighting that is fully and individually controllable via a central panel. Notably the intensity of each fixture can be set so you don't overpower the space with light, as is often the case. The build also makes use of large skylights and full length windows to bring quite a lot of natural light into the box. It works nicely as a lofty home/office space as I've done, but I can also see it being used in a role play setting.

The fashion here is again from this month's Mens Dept, + a new release from Apple May and a special thanks to the creators at (Red)Sand for providing their excellent Hooligan skin, which I'll undoubtedly show again. Oh, and all poses in this and my previous post from Saal Body. Thanks Alon!

Little Warehouse

The Challenge's 4th round this month has a factory/industrial theme, which is a style I frequently come back to in many of the builds I feature on the site.  Here I've taken Bauwerk's litttle warehouse skybox from this round and imagined it as a combined work/home space for an architect or engineer, using many of the items from the Challenge round as well as other pieces that work well in the build.  The decor emphasizes metal as well as wood, which softens the space quite a bit. The pictures below feature two of the stand-outs from this round: an excellent drafting table and assorted decor from Follow Us and Plato Novo's beautiful "Factory" chairs for %Percent.

The avi features a new release skin from (Red)Sand and super nice texture-change hair from Exile, on sale at Mens Dept and available in various tones. The clothing is also from Mens Dept, except for the shirt from American Bazaar that I quite like and previously blogged in a different color here.

As this post was getting long, I'll have more shots and review of the build and furniture in my next post, but in the meantime previews can be seen of all Challenge items on the event website.
