Footwear Expo: Overknee Boots
The clock is ticking! Hurry over to the Footwear Expo before it closes at the end of the day!
I’m not quite sure why we collectively equate shoes with sex, but we do. And no shoe screams sex more than an over-knee boot.
These are, of course, three examples of knee-high boots at the Footwear Expo. Structured, slouchy, or skin-tight, these boots will add sexiness to any look. You know you want some — over-knee boots, that is!

Footwear Expo: Sandals
Wheeeee! More footwear from the Footwear Expo! I was planning on saying something about wearing open-toed shoes in winter, since it’s a virtual world, and our toes don’t get cold or wet, etc. But, why do we always comment on the weather? Why do we do so more often in the winter? It’s funny how our physical worlds have such a strong influence on how we see our virtual worlds.
Ok, back to the shoes. Obviously, these are sandals, a selection from the Footwear Expo. All but the second pair in the first row have prim feet, so it was an adventure for me to learn all the different tinting HUDs. I’m still a bit of a noob when it comes to tinting feet, so please excuse any errors. What I find most interesting is that with the tinting HUD often do far more than just tinting. From resizing to toenail colors to recoloring individual parts of the shoe, these HUDs offer far more options than old-fashioned click-to-change-color shoes.

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
