Fabulous Slutwear from Casa Del Shai

Hello darlings, Swirly here. Shai Delacroix of Casa del Shai is normally known for her high quality, classy clothing. Fashion for the sophisticated diva. But what of the poor working girl? The escort, the stripper? The hard working, depraved whore? Swirly knows that most of her beloved readers fall into this category, so is thrilled to see that Shai has released a range of slutwear just for YOU! With slutwear this good, your nightly takings could easily double, so this range is a very worthwhile investment darlings.

Shai's ads for the new Boudoir range leave a lot to be desired. While no-one can deny that Shai has a very pretty face, the ravages of her heavy cocaine use are evident on her emaciated frame. Shai dear, get help, and remember that nobody likes to look at a skinny, half naked girl. Because Swirly loves you, she has fixed your ads darling.

Here comes Halloween!

Ahoy hoy!

October is the BEST time of the year, well for me anyway. And it's the perfect time to check out what Halloween goodies are out there, so our first visit would have to be Sleepy Hollow, home of Grim Babies. YAY!

This nifty wearable is a freebie! It's called the Bloody Body Chandelier. With bloody hands and toes. Can't beat that with a stick. No!

And then we had a peek over at Grim Dolls and I present to you, (sigh) me in 1.) white 2.) some sort of hybrid BUNNY costume. Grim loves it. It has a fluffy skirt, so it's somewhat tolerable. It's called Paper Bunny. Ha!

I like this one oh so very much. Paper Spider! Hardly any white here, and it has a spider web! A really big one! You have to love the spider and web on the bodice. And it doesn't come with animal parts for the the hands and feet. Bonus!


Pop on over to Sleepy Hollow to getcher stuffs. Oh, and there is a trivia contest to win 50 000L's. Wow! Also, check out the Freddie Grim Babie. He is obviously the BEST Grim Babie available now, so you really need one!


Look, Ben from the Works made this nifty every day belt (unless you want to do really bad things then you go to Virus Company. He calls this the Gothic Skull Belt, but it has a really BIG skull and then lots of little ones so you need this. Very scary, skulls are.

Next you can walk around looking quite fierce with this baseball bat. So you can be pretend fierce, or just BE fierce and smash some horrible person right in their horrible face! So for some of you, this would be a great addition to a costume or for me, just everyday wear. ^^

And JUST in time as I type up this blog, this fantastic meat hook with sound and realistic blood drips is available for your happy fun time Halloween decorating! And not pictured, a realistic morgue cabinet, with open and close sounds and lying pose. RAR!

In case you forgot... Dead City whee!

Even Chicanery has gotten into the Halloween spirit, because he made this Frankenstein dolly! He must be worried about copyright infringement, because the doll is simply called Frank. It even comes with a free sculpty pumpkin bucket, with candy inside! The ad says Halloweenies, so we can assume there will be more.

Get Frank and your pumpkin bucket at Koreshan!


And check out what Noam over at Gritty Kitty put out, and it's FREE! This nifty sculpty (and flexi!) witches hat, and matching scarf. It looks really keen! It covers my face so this is more of a disguise. Oh, and the hat changes color, too. <3>
Head over to Koreshan and get your stuff!

Ok, now we head over to Nothing Shocking, and this guys name just screams Halloween! It's Cemetary, and he makes som really sweet masks. I mean, there are so many masks to choose from we could blog into next year, but that would really suck. They come in two pieces, so you can actually flip them up. Cool!

I love this one, it's called Jack Attack. Don't let the fact that it's bright orange put you off, it's really scary, see?

Here is the Immortal mask from 300. It's really well rendered.

Oh, Voorhees mask! Haha!

And the wicked Hannibal mask! Like this would keep me from eating anybody, I don't think so!

Seriously, the prices are decent, and there are SO MANY to choose from, it's staggering. They all look really great. Head on over to Nothing Shocking and check em out!

Like the shirt I'm wearing? Visit the smallest, and and most offensive T shirt kiosk in all of SL!

Dead City. With only FIVE shirts to choose from, you can only imagine just how vile they could be! Very! Too bad Tenshi didn't have one of these for Stephanie's birthday party, she turned up the complete opposite of offensive. Granted, I could have have given her mine, but there was no way I was gunna part with the whole 50 L's I spent on this shirt!

Next up, is this brilliant skin by Lacey Mertel. This is one of the most unusual skins I have ever seen in SL. It's actually chilling. It's called puppet skin, and the pic speaks for itself.

Boys can wear this too! Go check it out atInsula Inferi West.

Lastly, this is hya's vision of the Bride of Frankenstein's dress. It's really quite beautiful, and it has BLOOD on it. A very first for hya! You can pick up the wig there too, a really fine version of the bride's hair made by Calico. Like the bouquet? It's a wonderful wilted bouquet made by the lovely Fallingwater Cellardoor! These girls think of everything!

hya also created an incredible black spider web outfit to compliment a drow skin from Tête à Pied called Spider Queen. The skin is available from there also, picture not posted to make you go look!

Head over to silent sparrow to check these out!

Go see all the lovely new skins from Tête à Pied.

Bye!

Fabulous New Things from ZsaZsa

Hello darlings, Swirly here. That fabulous goddess of style, the divine ZsaZsa Withnail, has lots of new treats available for the discerning fashionista at ZsaZsa's House of Beauty. As the most stylish woman in Second Life, ZsaZsa always has her finger on the fashion pulse, which means that you should all rush out and buy everything in her store darlings. NOW.

ZsaZsa's Timeless Updo could best be described as a timeless updo. Reminiscent of those 1960's Hollywood glamour queens, it was just made for Swirly! Never fear, it still looks divine on you mere mortals. ZsaZsa has as always generously included several colours in the pack, and Swirly is wearing Yellow. No, not blonde darlings, YELLOW.

Splash is a sleek and sophisticated style which surprisingly, has nothing to do with swimming pools or the beach. It comes in all of the natural colours a girl could desire - blue, green, purple and platinum. Just divine!

The most exciting of ZsaZsa's new releases is her Halloween Ensemble. Now while Halloween may be an unknown event outside of Second Life (Swirly had certainly never heard of it before), there is just no excuse for not celebrating this special occasion. ZsaZsa's ensemble will transform you into the sexiest pumpkin known to man, and it includes the hair, which incidentally has a little carved pumpkin face on the back! Swirly couldn't be bothered taking a picture of it for you though darlings, so you will just have to buy the outfit yourselves to see. Swirly just loves the little pumpkin belt, and the cleavage revealing top. No need to wait for Halloween to wear this one dears, it's just perfect for all occasions!

*smooches*

Swirly's Guide to Colour

Drab. Dreary. BORING. These are the only words that can be used to describe the style of the two "fashionistas" shown above. In fact, it describes their personalities to a tee as well, but Swirly doesn't like to get personal, it's beneath her. Dakota Buck in her dreary dress from Savvy? and Stephanie Misfit looking bland in Casa del Shai and Last Call. Oh, they talk about "earth tones" and "neutrals", but honestly darlings, it's all rather dismal.

Swirly is here to educate her devoted readers about colours. Beige, brown, caramel, taupe and those other so called "neutrals" are NOT colours darlings; it's a common misconception that they are, but nothing could be further from the truth. They drain the colour from your face and will drive you into an early grave. These non-colours should be reserved entirely for use by librarians, government employees, and people who work in IT. Boring people.

For the rest of you, liberal use of colour IS required. Some colours you should try are orange, yellow, bright green, purple, hot pink, cherry red, leopard and peacock. There are others as well, obviously, but Swirly can't be expected to remember them ALL. Luckily for you, Swirly is here to show you how to make use of some of these colours. A picture is worth a dozen words, and requires much less effort too.

Swirly is wearing Nicky Ree's Summer Breeze in Rouge. Not only does this stunning dress feature three colours, the delightful satin fabric makes the colours positively glow! A bright dress like this demands even brighter accessories, so naturally, Swirly teamed it with the Pink Neck Hug from Masks and Feathers, and the Whisp Hat in Red from Elegance Hats. Swirly is also wearing the Spikes Eyelashes from ZsaZsa's House of Beauty, her hair is Flapper from ETD and the skin is Rita - Pale - Flapper from Gala.

This glorious gown is Evening Petals in Mango from X3D Apparel. Digit Darkes is a colour GURU darlings, and makes some of the best colours in Second Life. Swirly loves the Bird Nest Hat from Chapeau Tres Mignon, but it isn't very colourful so make sure you don't wear too many of them at once. Swirly is wearing the Feather Necklace from Yummy, which goes so well with the Green Peacock Earrings from Microphage. Swirly's skin is FruitLoops: Sweet Tarte in Medium from [miw] and her hair is the fabulous Rave in Pearl from Sirena.


Yellow is one of the best colours darlings! And it goes so well with orange. When worn together, the effect is almost acidic. Swirly just loves the Decadance Maia jacket in Yellow from Bare Rose, which can double as a rain coat. It's worn here with the Petal Pusher Shorts in Orange from Tete a Pied, and the Paper Couture Logo tights in yellow for a subtle look. Orange shoes are hard to come by, but fortunately Tete a Pied sells these marvelous Maryjanes in several colours including orange. Swirly is wearing Queen Couture's new Starry Night Earrings - they are big and adorned with diamonds which means they are perfect. Also from Queen Couture are the Aviator Frames in Gold. Swirly's hair is Wildebiene in Blonde from Bewitched, a sleek and simple style but still very nice.


The lovely Koyomi dress from Tweet uses multiple colours which really makes it a must have. It even includes the fabulous stockings and arm warmers shown above! Swirly was delighted to find more orange shoes at Nicky Ree, these are the Julia Spring Romance Shoes. Swirly loves her Bubblegum Necklace from Decollage, but was a little disappointed to discover it contains NO bubblegum at all - a very bad case of false advertising from Marcelle DeCuir! Of course, no outfit is complete without the Daddy Long Legs Eyelashes from ZsaZsa's House of Beauty - tint them orange darlings. ZsaZsa also made Swirly's fabulous hair, the Exotic Diva Wig, which comes in a pack with all the essential colours including yellow.

Swirly had SO many other colours to share with you, but decided that she really couldn't be bothered, so you will just have to make do darlings.

The Works and other things...

Ok. For those of you who have seen the movie Trainspotting, does this toilet look familiar?

Right, because I went to the Works for the sole purpose of picking this thing up. It's called Ben's Shitty Terlet. Ben was kind enough to adjust the pose on it so my ass wasn't perched on the rim, and while he was busy at work I took a look upstairs. Ben makes accessories, too. Sculpty ones! Check this out, the Pirate Belt and the Pirate Bracelet. What's nifty is the sick detail he gets with the sculpts. The rocks look like rocks, not beads. The skull and crossbones aint too shabby, either.

This belt is called the Medic, and modding this thing to fit me made both me and the baby Jesus cry.

Because the detail is just sick. This belt is pretty much entirely sculpted. That's a lot talent, people!

You can pick up all of Ben's things here at The WORKS Urban Filth. He has put together some really great urban furniture as well. If you feel the need to pester him, why not not bother his business parter, Orchid Zenovka instead? While you are there, explore the sim. Some creative new talent is there.

Lacey Mertel has been busy making skins. For those of you who have heard of Lacey, she has put some really great art out there in SL. These skins are just in time for Halloween, or for those who just like looking dead. Very dead. Nothing wrong with that!

First one here is called Beauty Queen Crime Scene. Poor dead beauty queen! I like this one ok, but I am really excited about these other two.

Broken Doll! This skin is beautifully rendered, with broken capillaries and mottled lips intact. Kudos to Lacey for not ruining this with tarty lipstick.

Ok, this one is my absolute fave called Eulogy. The muted shading on the face and lips is just perfect. It's really quite lovely.

Lacey's skins are for sale at lost property, as well as some really great art and other odds and ends she has created. Hell, even the boxes the skins came in are works of art. Thanks, Lacey!

Haha! What a great chair!

This moment brought to you by Chicanery. And Cabbage the hugging bear chair. You know you want one!

Pop Feel

cyam Amat is a new Japanese designer who opened her store Pop Feel a few days ago. Her clothes are fresh and cute but have a sophisticated, almost European edge. I'm really excited about the work of many of the new designers from Japan, and the influence they are exerting on Second Life fashion in general. cyam's work is impressive for a new designer, and the prices are right too. This post was a little rushed, that's what I get for shopping right before the Lindens kick everyone out of the pool.

The Chidori Knit Dress (130L) is a simple woolen dress with houndstooth pattern, comfy knitted collar and contrasting red ribbed tights. The Odeka Lace Shoes are from Feather, which is located right next door to Pop Feel, and are a steal at 80L a pair.

The Retro Jacket and Black Knit (195L) continues the houndstooth theme. I will point out that the texturing on the jacket could be better, it's a little blurry, but it's otherwise a well made piece with a great flexi waist and prim cuffs and collar. I wasn't disappointed with my purchase and will definitely wear the jacket. The shoes, which as best as I could tell are called pan-bered, are also from Feather for 80L.

Retro Green Jacket Set (150L) is a shorts and jacket set. Again, a well made flexi waist and cute cuffs and collar. The shorts appear to use quite a bit of photosourcing, probably not something I would normally wear but they do look great with the jacket.

Most of the items shown above are available in other colours, and there's a fair bit more in the store as well. Pop Feel is well worth a look, and I can't wait to see more from this new designer.

Cinnamix: Punk'd Goth'd Stoopid!

Hey bitches! Its me and I have finally made my return to da' EffVee. I know, I know, you have all missed me so much. My dear fans, I have decided to bring something new to you and it is called "Cinnamix". (Cinnamix © has been copyright by Cinnamon Coffee. Any unauthorized use will result in a swift kick to da' nutz!) Cinnamix is my way of taking some of the best things in Second Life fashion, mixing them up and spewing them into a beautiful vomit creation, like when you stir up Fruity Pebbles, Moutain Dew and Velvetta Cheese.


If you're like me, you have herpies... but also you tend to mix and match your outfit together. Combining various items into what you and I call style. Many of what you call "sluts" tend to do this, but it may only be panties and a tattoo but thats not a complaint. Heck, I hope it starts a fashion revolution! Viva NO CLOTHES in Second Life!


This first Cinnamix is based on all those Goth wannabe whores, damn I love em so much. All with too many daddy issues and just beggin' for some luvin'. Good thing Dr. Coffee gives them a shoulder or lap to cry on. This is also the perfect little outfit to get ready for the upcoming spooky and evil holiday that isn't that far away. Yes, I am speaking of Thanksgiving.


I get the heebie jeebies just thinking about all the poor turkey's that run around beheaded. Those damn pilgrims took my land and raped and pillaged stuff. I honestly don't know what pillaged means, but it just sounds naughty. Yes, I am 1/68th Native American. My Indian name is "One Who Spreads Eagle". First we have a great vest from Refuge, even comes with flexi prim ties for the back. With a little tug for quick release. Oopsie, the girls got out ;)


Keeping it back to the basic black and white, typically of most goth children. Keeping it evilish, you got great Skull Armwarmers from Canimal. Her stuff is always great to mix, even if it is just her selection of clothes. Continuing with the skull theme, you got a great little Skull Purse from Artilleri. Das Boots are also from Shiny Things... Great for matching up with a number of different outfits... or just walking around in your panties and tattoos. Yes, VIVA REVOLUTION!


Rounding the rest of the mix up we have this little skirt part of Caliente Express's Rosa Outfit and Mischief's Insubordinate Outfit set with these great striped stockings. And thats how you Cinnamix! Remember ladies, be careful on what you wear and how you do it. Especially if your planning to take it off for me later ;) Till next time, and hopefully it won't be months later... xoxo my bitches!
