Footwear Expo: Booties
Have you heard that the Footwear Expo ends today? If you’ve not been yet, perhaps these booties will tempt you.
First, I must say, booties are generally terribly unflattering to most of our RL figures. The solid structure, ending abruptly where foot meets leg, destroys the leg line and makes you look short. That said, I adore them. They have a certain je-ne-sais-quois that just screams chic. And of course in SL we can just make our legs a bit longer to compensate.
What I find most striking about this set of booties, all available at the Footwear Expo, are the › Continue reading
Footwear Expo: Round-Toe Pumps
The Footwear Expo ends today — it’s your last chance to see so many talented virtual cobblers in one place!
I have a total weakness for round-toed pumps. The rounded toe reminds me of the fifties, when being graceful and ladylike was paramount. The heel, of course, brings sex and power and killer legs to the picture. Pictured here are seven of the styles available right now at the Footwear Expo — with a variety of different heel styles. fabrics, height, and trim, (and a bit of arbitrary categorization on my part), there’s likely a heel here that will make you drool. › Continue reading
Footwear Expo: Cozy Boots
Winter has arrived in Second Life. Delicate snowflakes drift down to coat the trees and we get to pull our our coziest-looking winter wear. This of course also means cozy shoes, from little booties to fluffy snowboots.
These four pairs are a few of the offerings available at the Footwear Expo, ending today. The first are perfect for curling up in front of a fire with your honey; the others are adorable outerwear choices. In RL, I worry about wearing these types of boots, but in SL, I’m safe — dirty slush can’t soak into my cozy boots and ruin them!

Footwear Expo: Slingbacks
More shoes from the Footwear Expo, ending today: this time, slingbacks. I love slingbacks — they capture the power and sex of a pump, while the slingback strap adds a bit of daintiness and femininity. Here, you can see two more old-fashioned shoe shapes, with a more modern bi-color platform version.

Footwear Expo: Work Boots
The Footwear Expo ends today — it’s your last chance to see so many talented virtual cobblers in one place!
Work boots, by themselves, may not seem very girly. However, They add an edge to an outfit that can’t be achieved any other way. Oh, and they’re terribly stylish right now, in both worlds.
Footwear Expo: Flats
Dude, how awesome are the tiny skull and crossbones on these shoes?
It’s funny, I’ve been a heels girl for most of my life, but lately I’ve been favoring flats, in RL. It’s a new experience for me, discovering a range of shoe shapes and styles I’d previously not noticed. As you can see from a few of the flats available at the Footwear Expo, shown below, we’ve plenty of digital options, too.
Freckleface: Eye see you!
Another round of freckled skins for us to compare! Hooray!
Freckles are awesome, and so are these faces. I love that these skins bring very unique personalities to the same shape, with the same brow, lighting and hair.
I wanted to talk about eyes in this post, and what characteristics to consider when comparing eyes between skins. So I made you an annotated animated gif. Yay! › Continue reading

Footwear Expo 2009: Wedges
So, yeah, Footwear Expo‘s going on, and will be open until December 6th, so if you haven’t been, you’ve still got a few days. The Expo benefits Toys for Tots, an organization that provides Christmas gifts to poor kids.
There are over 50 designers in the expo, so a comprehensive list, or even series of lists, would be a daunting task. However, I’d like to show you a sampling, arranged by style. We’ll start with the wedge heel.
I tend to think of a wedge heel as a bit quirky and playful, and these four shoes each show a unique personality. The R2s are › Continue reading
Ceteris paribus
Apparently some people are terribly concerned that others are going to steal their “look.” I think this is greedy, selfish, and stupid. Anti-inspect shields don’t work, and we can track something down even if you won’t tell us where it’s from. By trying to hide the source of an item, the creator may lose sales.
Most importantly, no one is going to steal your look (unless they’re one of the crazies, and in that case, you have bigger issues than your look.) The same outfit can have a dramatically different feel, just by changing the details. Observe.
Same outfit. Same accessories. A change of hair, a change of skin, and you instantly › Continue reading
