Incompatible

I was excited when I tried on this beautiful new BoM skin and read that it was apparently compatible with The Skinnery body skins! YES! I definitely had all of those, no problem. But when it came to purchasing and trying out this beauty, it was actually incompatible. At least the Honey tone was; I didn’t try others. However, if you visit the Not Found main shop, you’ll find BoM body skins that do work with the Amie BoM head skin. I do love this skin though. It’s one of MANY I have hauled recently.

Also, this side pony is NOT the new one from Tableau Vivant that you can find at Kustom9. In fact, it’s 5+ years old from LeLutka – back when they still made hair too! As you know, I keep items I think I can reuse. And here we are, all these years later. The hairbase IS new for LeLutka EvoX heads only, available at Kustom9. I have been enjoying LeLutka Avalon despite inconsistent messages around introducing another new line of heads that doesn’t support older inventory…again. But TBH, the only head I probably took to more quickly was Korina … which I haven’t put on since!

Hello Again

DeuxLooks - hello again

Hello again to these same flowy culotte trousers that I have owned for 5 (?) years in SL. They definitely pre-date mesh bodies (size XXS FTW!) but I have them in every color and will never delete them. They can pry them out of my pixelated mesh hands when SL dies. I am sure they’re no longer available from ryvolter, but they should be re-made for Legacy and Maitreya bodies plz! Incidentally, my [Vale Koer] heels are also well-worn for several years too.

I love a simple, wide pant and actually prefer it when mixed with such a svelte top, which btw is gorgeous and perfect from ISON. I had to get the Deluxe pack to get my favorite navy color, only included in the bonus pack, but this is a staple and I was happy to spend extra since the creator prices packs so attractively at Collabor88.

I am off to the beach to introduce Miss Luca (my new RL dog) to her grandparents. Wish us luck!

Keep Passing the Open Windows

DeuxLooks - keep passing the open windows
keep passing the open windows

I was inspired by the new “abandoned room” scene from Milk Motion. It reminded me of this really strange movie I saw as a kid – Hotel New Hampshire – and the family mantra that was, “just keep passing the open windows” – I guess meaning to just carry on no matter what happens. That made an almost macabre impression on me as a little kid because one of the characters eventually jumps out of a window. Strange memory. Stranger to think of it randomly now!

Anywayyyyy, I have done a terrible job snapping the actual scene/room so I will have to do it again in a different light. But, I love that you can see every detail of this sheath dress from Bauhaus in this particular “not windlight.” It’s quite extraordinary in detail. Lovely dress.

Long Awkward Pose

LAP like

As I took these snaps, I was reminded of the very popular pose shop from back in the day, Long Awkward Pose – affectionately known as LAP. LAP was one of the premier places that bloggers went for poses, along with Luth Brodie’s pose and animations shop. Back then you wouldn’t catch me out of a Starley Thereian Vogue skin or a Last Call release. I was literally always covered in “the Quad” inventory. Those were the days! RIP to our beloved J.

DeuxLooks - long awkward pose

Anywayyyyy. the reason I thought of LAP is that the pose in this very cute wallet – is the same awkward “display-like” pose from these bags I loved too. Enjoyed the bags, love this new wallet, but don’t want to hold anything like it’s a flower pot … unless it’s a flower pot. You know?
