The Sound'r Blog

More costumes… more golden oldies.

The next scene of Impressions, which was again shot on the Sound’r sim, was all about the windlight, and my favourite outfit at the time – Disturbia, by Winter Moon (who is currently, I’m very sad to say, having an end of business sale. Snap it all up, because her stuff is fantastic!) It went perfectly with a hunt gift skin Tuli had set out called Maya, with black bleeding eyes, and Naoki hair by Kin. The guns were by Breach and the boots – shocking, I know – were Ving Boots by Shiny Things. Further proof, were any needed, that I seldom took those boots off once I’d bought them.

The rose garden we found in the courtyard of a temple that’s sadly no longer there – a shame, as it was a very pretty build. It featured Roewan Silks in crimson by Analise, with Tiana hair by ETD and Belleza‘s Jesse skin.

The pirate scene was shot at Dead Man’s Chest among the ships – a brilliant place to play if you entertain swashbuckling fantasies. The whole outfit was a Halloween special last year by TCKZ, called Bootleg Annie, and is no longer available. I’m wearing it with one of Dutch Touch‘s gorgeous new skins.

Chou Chou is one of my favourite sims for its simple elegance – much like the dress I picked, Darken Bliss by Phoenix Rising, matched with ETD’s Tiana hair again and Laqroki‘s Lacie Glow Skin. Barefoot, of course, while walking through the shallows.

And finally Artilleri, my favourite retro sim and favourite retro clothing. Almost everything shown, apart from the Catalyst Thigh High Boots from The Abyss, came from Artilleri: the Lily skin in Kiss, Sabrina hair in black, Corinne poof dress and Leopard Pants to finish off the look – another of my all-time favourites.

One more set impending…

It was the clothes for me – but then, it would be, I’m a girl, and a shopaholic. Slightly more surprising was that the boys were just as enamoured with The Plastik sim; it bears the honour of being the only time in recorded history I got both of them to accompany me on a shopping trip (though they did spend most of the time playing with the giant ferret at the bottom of the tree).

I’ve been a devotee of Aikea Rieko’s wares since stumbling across the shop somehow and finding a billion freebies sat by the door. A skin, an armful of clothes and my very favourite wristbands later and I was making regular trips over to check I hadn’t missed any new releases. It is, in short, my perfect store. 

Though her texturing is sublime, the style fantastic and the clothes themselves have mostly found their way into various favourites folders, it’s perhaps her eyes I love best – and wear constantly. The ones I wear most often and am wearing here (which Ghost described as “a bit freaky, but good freaky”) were a Christmas freebie, but the selection is amazing, especially if, like me, you’re a fan of unusual eyes.

If nothing else, it’s got to be worth adding The Plastik to the shopping itinerary so you can send your other half to visit the ferret while you rummage through the goodies.
