Lookbook 2

This time...I'm not wearing any pants (as in trousers, I am wearing pants as in knickers!), truly, I usually do! But the Starlust panty party is coming up, and between a couple of sneaky previews I've gotten to try on, and more I've gotten to get peeks of on plurk (a few people are making the clothing making plunge with panties!), and looking through my inventory fondly at ones from last year...I've been without pants most of this week. The Starlust panty raid: encouraging prudish avatars to wander around mostly naked!

And, to top it all off, ~silentsparrow~ just released helena, a lovely lingerie/swimsuit set that I would love to wear as a swimsuit in RL. As it is, Allegory wouldn't be seen dead at a beach without an umbrella (an old project that I may or may not actually finish some day), with skin that pale she'd burn horribly.

Saiyge Lotus of Balderdash created her first clothing ever, these panties, which are absolutely magnificent. Allegory of course knows the boots first, then corset rule- and often it's easier to wear something else getting ready so you don't get makeup all over your outfit.

Last year Ki2's contributions were great old fashioned underwear with bloomers (for the prudes among us!)- this year she goes a bit more modern traditional, with these comfy things in a variety of colours, for those days when it's too hot to wear pants (and, of course, you're staying in!)

The Mythical Pantycorn made an appearance last year, and I'm (not so) secretly hoping it returns this year. The shirt is also by Appy, from Pig, for the Skipping Stones hunt- the fact that it is actually in the colour of unicorn...doesn't have anything to do with why I'm wearing it. It also has great fringey hanging bits in an attachment, but I didn't want to distract from the glory that is the Pantycorn.

Lookbook 1

Everyone should be happy SL doesn't have smell-o-vision, as Allegory would stink- she doesn't change clothes all that often. But I do, upon occasion, end up putting together things that I really like, and may start a bit of an occasional record of particular looks I'm fond of (or, you may never see one of these again...who knows. I've still got 9/10s of the Starlust to go in my tour =p). You're likely to see a lot of ~silentsparrow~ (as I wear...a LOT of ~silentsparrow~), and of course a fair bit of my own stuff, although I'll probably only show it when mixed with other things. However...I am almost always in my platform boots, I've got a collection of footwear that I never wear!

This set all revolve around the short jacket from ~silentsparrow~'s Lottie. I really do often wear shirts, this set notwithstanding. And I managed to use poses from different posemakers for each picture, weirdly enough.

1) When Lottie first came out I started putting together this look- House of Munster had come out with a deathhawk not too terribly long before. Allegory's not one for dresses all that often (although she's rather fetching in Lottie), but this jacket is just perfect with the ankh detail on the back and I've had a hard time taking it off. Aconite shares the same brocade pattern, so I filched the cuffs to wear with Lottie's jacket, instead of wearing the more floaty sleeves that come with Lottie. The ~silentsparrow~ tattoos might possibly have something to do with the shirtlessness....

2) hyasynth's rezday party had a bloody sparrow theme, so I went inventory diving for blood appropriate ~silentsparrow~ gear (searching for "blood" found the other arm bandage). The Aconite bandage corset was an obvious choice (I considered Sweeney, but wasn't coming up with how to mix it up....so I could...show off the tattoos. Er, yeah, there's that shirtless reason again), and dyed the 'hawk red for the occasion. The skin, of course, was obvious- few skins other than mine feel like Allegory, most change her features (and skin tone) too much to be her, although they are quite fun for when I dress up as not-me. The pants are from the redux of House of Leaves, which was a great set when it first came around, and even better now...and I'd be wearing the jacket still if it weren't for that whole pesky tattoo thing- I shall again, of course, it's got lovely cutouts and leafiness.

3) My current look- I....have not seen my face in days. Which is not so helpful seeing as I'm wearing a prototype makeup to see what needs to be changed. The mask is from the Drowsy horror festival (which is AWESOME- there are a lot of really fun free and inexpensive things to take home with you, as well as awesome cute new releases, and the whole thing is put together wonderfully well, as expected, of course- set up with lots of little things to find), modded a bit- the yellow and red mask with the heart was not so Allegory- but mixed with one of the other masks, it's perfect (I
