The day has finally arrived!  Which means my last Halloween post, it’s been a bit of a month but hey, it’s kept me reasonably busy so yay!    Personally I don’t really “do” Halloween, we tend to hole up in my ‘rent’s house and have a lil shindig for the kids, but that’s it, so that’s what i’ll be doing this evening.

This blog post is going to be basic and fast cos I have to go order a giant Halloween decorated cookie NOMNOM!

Firstly we have a Witch AO from Chicanery! I love this, I don’t think it may have much use beyond Halloween or if you’re a full time witch but it’s so well made, not just the broom itself the actual AO!  It comes with 10 stands (one of which is so awesome it includes a roly poly around the broom!), walk, run, hover and all those goodies and it also comes with a sculpted hat that you don’t see here.   My pic doesn’t do it justice, but that’s why you should go buy it anyway   There is a kiddies version available for any kiddie av’s out there

Next up is a FREEEBIEEEE from Torridwear and Kari, it’s got various poses and is an excellent prop for any photo’s, I love the lil black cat on the broom end, it’s adorable! Thanks guys, this freebie is excellent

Finally we just have my look of the day, a special Halloween one!

My hair is the new hair from Truth except i tinted it darker than it was, it’s a lovely style and I’m still really digging the new textures a lot!    The skin is the group freebie from Free Speerit and OH MY GOD I can’t wait for the new resurrected skins, this skin looks farking AWESOME on me and I didn’t have to fiddle with any bits!

Everything worn except the fishnet gloves including top, shorts, belt and bracers are from Nomine.  The bracers and belt are from the Bone Collector series and the collection is great and really well made, I will be going back for more OH YES.  The top and shorts are both from the Steampunkt section and I felt in love with the corest, it truly rocks my socks.

Ok I said it had to be a speedy one so that’s all folks!

Celestial Stuiods/Last Call – Witch Outfit

No fancy title this time, or indeed any title, just the names of the two stores this blog post will talk about, it will be image heavy so i’ll try to keep talking to a minimum (but totally IM me with questions or whatever)

First up Church of Luxe!   Lo Jacobs is back in business and Luxe was reborn Church of Luxe, it’s not a huge store at the moment but it has enough in it to put a pretty hole in your SL wallet, oh yes!  Without further ado, let’s get started!  Or.. before I start I will say that everything from Church of Luxe is available in a range of colours either individually or as a fatpack..

First up we have Genuine in Original, this set really stood out and caught my eye.  It’s a really dainty pretty dress with a tutu style tulle skirt and bead decoration paired with a kick ass Motorcycle Jacket.   I love it!!   It’s like you’re such a classy chick but you can kick ass too!   You can, of course, wear both of them individually, so it’s win win all round, innit!?

Next up starting from the left we have Bonjour in Tangerine which is a Jacket and Jeans set.   It comes with the Jacket on all layers complete with little neck tie attachment and the pair of jeans you see, the Tangerine colour is a lovely bright orangey red as you can see, paired with luminous pink for a really bright look!   On the right we have the Halloween outfit from COL – Chorus Girl in Gold!    A sexy little number complete with satiny sculpted tophat, teeny lil chrous girl outfit, gloves and stockings.   I love the detailing on the top of the dress, it’s beeeyyyoootiful!

On the left here we have Colleen in Chocolate which is a strange little number, but I found it intriguing.  It kinda reminds me of a fairytale wench dress with it’s choppy layers, poofy sleeves and laced front, but whatever the idea behind it was… works!    On the right you can see Chloe in Goldenrod, Chloe is a total winterbabe with a furry neck lining (which I tinted black, it wasn’t originally that black) to a gorgeous jacket complete with 2 versions of triple belt, one with and one without jacket frill at the bottom.   Also with it are the skirt with glitchpants and the full length stockings to wear underneath!

Next is Fairy in Pitch, not entirely sure what inspired this but I love it!  It’s a poofy lil number with a cut out midriff with fancy heart detailing (I hope I haven’t missed out a layer here, that would be embarassing LOL) a sexy satin style bra top and the most gorgeous scupltie bow, a huge assed one.. on your ass too!  Sexy but sweet!

Meet Sunday in Gold, she comes with 2 different types of skirt for your mix and match pleasure!  The top on Sunday is that tightly rouched type material that you often find on summery style dresses and the bottom has a lovely flower texture, so it’s a light lil number.  You can choose from the bell style skirt that kinda clings (but has no pokey out bits!) or the more flouncy style on the right.

Finally from COL we have, on the left, a freebie!! Yes the Itty Bitty bikini is a gift if you click and join the SoM in the store!! How awesome is that    I would totally wear the top with a pair of jeans too, it’s the sloot in me, sue me.    On the right are two of the casual separates you can buy from the store, the V-Neck in Yellow and Distressed Jeans in Sandblasted!

So there you have it, a quick round up of what you can find at Church of Luxe, all of the above and SO MUCH MORE, if you haven’t been yet. GO!

Church of Luxe

Next is Jaywalk, now yes.. I’ve been SLOW on this one, but i’ve been accumulating and now my Jaywalk folder is spilling over and I felt that I could wait no longer!!!! So here we have it!  Again fairly pic heavy, so i’ll keep the writing as short as I can!

First we have a collaboration of items here (collaborated in the pics, totally all made by Lyra’s fair hand!)

On the left we have Delora in Black paired with Beatrix in Gray… Delora is a corset top complete with fancy bow/tie attachment thinger and several layer options, and it also comes in a ton of colours, a sexy top for casual or formal times… The Beatrix Capri’s I love, and why you ask? Cos of the cute lil clip cuff attachments!   In the middle is Analeigh and Gwen both in Citrus.  Analeigh is a sexy satin style top with a fishnet twist, very sexy but again casual or formal works fine!   Gwen is a gorgeous floral type skirt and I don’t often do patterns in SL but I love it!   Finally on the right you have Isabelli in Sunshine and Nieve in Black!  Isabelli is a casual crop sweater style top with the main colour actually being on the arms, the rest in greyscale, lovely and cuddly.   The Nieve Capri’s are basic capri’s with prim cuffs and smexy button detailing on the pockets and belt!  A wardrobe staple, me thinks!

First up in this pic we have Tabatha in Blush, she’s a sporty style crop jacket with beautiful detailing on both the front and the back and stripes down the arms (the sporty bit of it ), she looks awesome with Nieve!   Then we have Kara.  Kara comes in two options, with or without tee, i’ve shown both, I think I prefer it without the tee, but it all depends on what floats your lil boat!   A sexy cardigan nonetheless.   At the end we have Tanzie in Chocolate and the Nene Skirt in Black.   Tanzie  comes with puffy prim sleeves and lovely patterning around the bust area, paired with the staple black to make it another casual/formal mix and match number!  I love love LOVE the Nene Skirt, but I didn’t get glitchpants?  So it was kinda hard for me to fit without my ass sticking out, but I managed, I hope I got it right!  It’s layered heaven with a tulle undercoat, sexy!

Tatienne is on the left here, shown in Red, isn’t she gorgeous?  A bright lil number paired with laced and ribbon and a cute lil bow attachment, walk down the red carpet in this and feel DIVINE, and also look it, pans out well, no?    On the right is Yvette, a lil something to wear AFTER the party (not for long tho ), it’s a sexy bra and panties set and boy are these panties thongtastical!   I think you can see my nawty bits!  I love them tho, I loe the lace and bow detailing!  Really nice.

Finally for Jaywalk we have some stockings and socks, from left to right you can see Tishia – White/Silver, Kitara – Citrus, Kelly – Hunter and Eliza – Powder.  These are some sexy and cute stockings and socks, they are available in a wide range of colours and I am in LOVE with both Kitara and Kelly and you’ll be seeing them on me more often, OH YES!

So that wraps up Jaywalk, Lyra has turned her hand to clothes designing and is doing soooooooooo well, I am jealous! JEALOUS I SAY!  I shall spork her with my spork of love.  Get to Jaywalk NOW if you haven’t and pick some stuff up… pretty please

Another Halloween post, apologies if they are boring you but hey… I LIKE COSTUMES. This one is a lil diff though, I thought i’d buy two of the Loco Poco’s Halloween AV’s and OH EM GEE, I love them!!! I already have one Loco Poco (one I named ) and was agog at the fantasticness of it, the fluid movement from the AO and gestures without any bits poking out, the shading and craftmanship of them and the fooking fantastic HUD!!

Anyyyyway, let’s have a look at the Halloween ones, shall we? I opted for the Mummy and the Witch:

Isn’t it like.. a work of art?!?!? I fell in love with it instantly and i’m NOT a huge AV person. The thing I love about it most is that the head, I know that sounds a bit daft but the shading under the bandages by the eye really made me think wow… theres work and a half gone into that!!! I’ll talk about the customization further down the page. I love the poses and gestures you get with all of the Loco Poco’s they are awesome! The Mummy looks particularly cute waving and sleeping, although i’m not sure that Mummies are supposed to do that >.>

This is the Witch, a fugly lil bit… isn’t she? In the nicest possible way, of course! The little bits you can see around the hat were actually smoke, cos that’s the fuming gesture.. but I failed at capturing it properly so SHOOSH. She looks so cute though folding her arms and huffing! She comes with male/female bodies and also the wizard robes in male and female, that are customizable using the fantastic HUD you get, as are most of the features including eyes, gesture sounds and more!

The wardrobe part of this doesn’t have any pictures, because I haven’t bought any accessories yet, but you get SO MANY options to customize your AV it’s not funny. You can buy hats, hair, glasses, shoes, clothes and more! You can have a whole Loco Poco’s wardrobe that works with ALL the av’s and they show up in your HUD and you can just click and change (I believe, correct me if i’m wrong, please!)

So there, it’s a short post, but it’s a post. If you don’t have a Loco Poco you SUCK, go and get one, they are BEYOND cute. I’m actually considering buying the fatpack >.>

GOOOOO DAMIEN AND WASHU!

Do you love that song? I SURE AS SHITE DO! I really loved the VMA performance and the outfit and was like WAAAH.. DO.WANT. Then I thought OMFG.. Arbers would make that outfit ROCK and you know what? I asked her and she DID! Arbers (or Winter Moon if you like) made the Disturbia outfit and I FOOKIN’ LOVE IT!

Arbers didn’t only make an outfit, she made an entire Disturbia AV, she really outdid her self and I think I love her even more than before which technically isn’t possible cos she’s my bestest friend EVAH and I heart her to teeny bits.. but enough gushing about our love.. more about the outfit:

You get a ton of bits in the Disturbia “Full” pack but you can also buy most of the stuff separately too! I’ll do a quick run down of what you get in the pack: Hair, Skin, Shape, Full Outfit, Boots (ears in the pic NOT included ). This is the first time Arbers has ever made boots and they are smexy as hell, full of buckles and laces and sculptie goodness, I still love my shoehat™ but these boots are sex on a stick! The hair is based on the VMA performance too and might not be your “regular” cup of tea with it’s high quiff and long over the shoulder draping strands, but I saw the amount of work going into it and man, it sure did pay off! It’s not only available in black/blonde either, but all colours have the blonde streak

The outfit itself actually rocks my socks, and like.. I mean rocks my socks. The feathers on the top are just divine, including a lil feather bustle attachment you get f or your chest, which is optional.. and the skirt! The skirt has so much detailing from the fine tassles on the front to the sexy bustle on the back, and it’s all mod too so if you don’t want to wear the shape you don’t have to, but I tried modding a copy of the skirt I made and I ended up messing it up, so … oops. But it’s all mod/copy/no trans, so you can try to your lil hearts content!

The above pic proves that the skin looks awesome even on your own shape. It’s a base Eloh Another Skin with the Disturbia makeup, which is high swept coal eye makeup and smexy rich and pouty lips. It comes in several tones from china white to deepest tan. You can also see from the above pic that you can wear the Disturbia top with a comfy pair of jeans and sneakers and still look hawt as fook. Yes? YES!

Overall Disturbia = WIN and I LOVE it. Remember you don’t have to buy the full pack, you can buy bits and bobs! Get to Winter Moon in Koreshan or the newly opened (and under construction) Tikvah (SLURL coming soon) store, complete with lucky spinning chibo wheel! WHEEEE!

Now… onto the non Halloween stuffage – NEW HAIR FROM ETD, HOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

2 new hairs today, the first one you can see above is Laine and can I say OMFGLOVETHISHAIR? I think I just did! When Likachu showed me a pic of this I think I actually squee’d a lil in RL. I adore it!! It’s kinda messy bed head-ish, with a colour change headband, it’s just freakin’ gorgeous I think you’ll agree and I am SO happy to see her back in SL (although I will be stealing her for killing bears.. yes.) and this hair just proved to me how much i’d fookin’ missed her releases! There’s nothing I can say apart from LOVE IT. The top you can barely see is from Jaywalk too, and I have a whole other post comin’ up on that subject.. soon!

This style is Vasha and it’s been highly sought after, after Elika posted a pic of her in it on Flickr! It’s a long wavy ponytail with long face framing bangs with a centre parting. It’s a gorgeous casual style, although i’m sure you could pair it with a dress, pop on some heels and dance the night away and look like you’ve pulled back your hair so you don’t thwack everyone with it Vasha is every bit as gorgeous as Laine, so overall a GREAT lil release from ETD! The sweater you can see paired with Vasha is from CKSD! It’s the Essential Wrap Sweater, shown here in Toast but available in 22 (23 if you’re in the update group) colours that you can see in Kit’s blog post about it. Kit goes on to say she hopes it becomes a wardrobe staple and I can tell you something, it’s one of mine!! Yes it’s not the first wrap sweater on the grid and it won’t be the last, but it’s a really sexy one and if you don’t like the cleavage aspect of it, pop a tank top under it, or a bra… it comes in all layers for your mix and match pleasure and 2 sculptie sleeves that you can’t see in the picture (much)!

Another duo post here, something Halloweenish and something not!  We are looking at a Refuge/Sinistyle collaboration and a lil something from Noam from Gritty Kitty.

First up we have Mistress of the Dark, a collab between Refuge and Sinistyle, just in time for Halloween it’s a full AV with all the bits you could ask for and that includes everything you see in the first picture, all the clothing and various prim attachments to go with it including a gorgeous dress with skirt/top combo with multi-attachments so that it sways just beautifully and the raggedy prim sleeves too.   Also included is the prim belt complete with jewelled dagger, the gold and ruby ring you can see and of course it comes with the skin based on an Eloh Mod, the bouffant vampish hair in black, gorgeous silky stockings and the black stiletto style shoes…. you don’t get the neko ears, sorry .

You do get the shape seen in the above picture too, but I usually wear things with my own shape, I find other shapes that differ from my own too odd for me to keep on, is that weird? probably So below you can see the goodies on my shape.   Willis has a lil more junk in her trunk than I think the AV was intended for but hey, more cushion for the pushin, yes?

So that’s the Halloween part out of the way, and now for the non Halloween!   This is a new hair from Gritty Kitty – Maxx!   Maxx is actually supposed to be a male style and Noam said “I don’t know how well it would work on girls” but I happen to think I look super cute so YAY.   Maxx is a short style tucked in under a knit hat/bandana duo with little cute mini braids at the side.   The bandana and hat are both texture change on click, so the combo’s are fairly endless!  I say girl or boy this style rocks, so there!

Ok, I decided to stray from the Halloween posts for a bit, there’s only so much Halloween you can do without wanting to stab your own face in before others get there before you, isn’t there? (Don’t all rush to stab me now)

I love poses, I have many.. many many many, from LAP, Torrid, AnaLu, Tuli, DDD and of course, the person who will ALWAYS be mistress of poses to me.. Luth Brodie (Reel Expression).  I say that because Luth was the first person I ever really stalked for poses and there hasn’t been one set that I don’t really love (although that is true of almost all poses I own… i’m a loyal pose lover!)

Luth just released the Railing set and again she made me fall in love with her all over again!  I love poses with props, I have various sets from the above pose makers who make them and I have them all out in my skybox and play with them daily, like they were a set of boobs or something! (wait.. not boobs.. i’m not a man.. cookery books, hmm yes, cookery books!).  There are 12 poses in the set and as usual they are in the prop and the poses are also “loose” in the box incase you want to use them sans prop.  Not only that, there are 2 different kinds of railing and even the railing texture Luth has used incase you want to try doing your own (gluck with that ).

I can’t really say much about this set except if you want railing poses, these are your man.. or something like that.  So excuse my pics, I did this in a non coffee induced spurt of cheese grater feeling throat energy this morning, but you can always check out Luth’s Blog for more info and better pics

Oh AND… Luth has 3 limited edition poses out in various forms of gamey type things, YAY, somewhere else for me to stalk/camp out (dance)

Roberta Beauchamp, or Berta! as she is better known to me, recently dropped a gift on me and oh em gee, it was so generous! I already owned a few bits and bobs from Love. Love. Love and Wax Poetic, so it was with great pleasure and thanks I accepted these too

To me, Love. Love. Love is the type of store that caters for the more demure, classier dressers… with high waisted skirts, gorgeous ribbon dresses and basically just a bunch of stuff that you won’t usually find in my inventory cos i’m a casual kinda gal, but I really enjoyed playing with these and trying them on.  You must excuse any partial nudity you see, I wanted to just show goodies from the store that i’d received, so yeah.. ignore the nips

Both the skins worn in the pictures are from the Wax Poetic line and we’ll talk about those at the end

First up we have the Denim Jumper, a collaboration with Redd Columbia, and a cute one it is.  It uses the systerm skirt with the shirt layer to give off a highwaisted look.  It has overall style straps, 6 cute shiny new buttons and a sculptie bow over your ass, what more screams class? .  I admit i’m not a huge fan of the system skirt, yes yes I KNOW it doesn’t have to make your ass look fat, but I just don’t dig system skirts as much as others, but this is really nice and something different than I’ve ever tried on before, so YAY!

The little Yellow number is actually Mustard and its a gorgeous highwaisted skirt seperate that you can buy!  A perfectly formed cocktail skirt with the mesh on the underside and available in 6 gorgeous colours.I particularly love this one for the way it dips at the front instead of just being a plain old horizontal cut skirt and I think paired with the right top would make an EXCELLENT wardrobe staple.

The first tee in this set is a fun lil thing that just says “I blogged Love.Love.Love and all I got was this lousy tee” and you know what? I LOVE IT, its fun <3.   The second top is the Abigail Cropped Jacket in Teal.  As you can see it’s a Houndstooth style and comes with scrunched up sculptie sleeves and is cropped just above the waist.  Now on a personal level this isn’t really my kinda thing, not in Teal anyway.  It also comes in Hunter, Mustard, Raspberry and Sky, so I will be popping by to see if I dig any of the other colours more, but as a jacket it’s great, no jagged edges and some cute shiney button detailing!

The final top in this picture is the Zebra Cami, also available in Tiger, Lynx, Leopard, Giraffe and Cheetah.  It’s a basic cute tank included on all layers for convienience and was apparently made on a whim   I love anything animal print, I don’t know why, I just do!  So this made me smile   Not a dodgy seam in sight, wrinkles in the right places and for a cami tank, it does the job just great

This final picture is my fav of the whole bunch, it’s the Bethy Dress, named after Bethany Heart.   It’s a strapless cocktail dress that SCREAMS sexy but not a hobag.  It has a tubestyle top to it, with a slightly poofed out prim long babydoll style skirt with the cutest sculptie bow attached to it, you can also twizzle the skirt around for the bow to be side, back, front or wherever you want!   Shown here in Mocha/Cream it also comes in Smoke/Crimson, Magenta/Crimson, Grape/Crimson and Pumpkin/Mocha.  The perfect party dress, I really like it!

As I mentioned the two skins shown here are 2 of the Wax Poetic Makeups:  Licorice Skin in Praline and Sugar Plum Skin in Truffle.  Prailine is the medium toned skin and Licorice is just dark eyeliner and the classic smokey style eye with shiney, fairly muted lips.    Truffle is the darker tone and Sugar Plum is a sexy duo of Plum and Lavender, perfect for the demure party girl that doesn’t like to look like shes made too much effort, but clearly has   The skins are based on Eloh’s Another Skin.

Love, Love, Love in SL!

First off, yes I know it’s lunAtic, but this post is about LuNi… see what I did there? lawlz. ANYHOOSERS… I have blogged a few bits from LuNi, a collaborative effort between Nimil Blackflag and Lucas Gerard they haven’t particularly released anything for Halloween BUT… it’s kinda Halloweenish all year round, so huzzah!

We’ll start with the Bunny Slippers… there are two sorts to buy, Clean and Bloody. You can buy either individually or you can just buy both in a pack. They are what they say they are… Bunny Slippers! Not so cute and fuzzy in the bloody pair though, as they have blood splattered all over them, but I guess it is cute if you like dead bunnies? Iunno! I found it cool because they leave behind bloody footprints, so I purchased both!

Also in this picture is a tattoo from LuNi called Graphophillia. It comes on several layers for mix and match with clothes goodness and I love it!! It looks like you have some kind of ancient scribble on you, a bit like Ang in Wanted I guess, but not quite. The writing ISN’T legible tho, so please don’t stand there waiting for 20 mins for it to suddenly become legible, like I did lol. It’s a gorgeous tattoo though, and I really think it would work well for artsy fartsy type pictures!!!! I had to buy it the moment I saw it!

Next is the Love Kills Balloon and AO set! I freakin’ love this, it’s so emotional and dark.. yet adorable at the same time. The Love Kills set comes with it’s own AO including:

(completely animated – no static poses)
Walk, Stand, Hover, Run, Fly, PreJump, Jump, Land

So yes, it comes with AO and Balloon attachment, you can use one without the other, but it might look a bit odd. I adore the AO, the stand is actually a dangle, and the walk is just a ghostly hovering version of the stand, perfect for if you want to pretend to be a ghost! You can wear the Balloon without the AO but you might look like a bit of a tool with a heart balloon tied around your neck without the corresponding poses, but then again, you might not! Worth a try, innit? Not something i’ll be using all the time, but I felt I needed it in my ever bulging inventory anyways.

Overall LuNi doesn’t carry a HUGE amount of stock but what they do have is dark and heartfelt and if you haven’t popped on over, you should… browse and buy people…. browse and buy!

Next up isn’t from LuNi, it’s a FREEEEBIEEE from Amplify!

I haven’t shown the whole body cos well… it’s black, you can’t actually see the detailing all that great, but what you can see is great so YAY! I *think* it’s ELOH based, if that helps. Anyway, it’s a freebie Candy Skull Skin and it rocks my socks, very nice and Halloweenish and free! *dancing banana*

Yup, another Halloween post but DO NOT FEAR, it’s nearly over and then i’ll have to think of something else to blog, although something i’ve wanted to do for a looooooooooooooong time is now in the pipeworks and getting on it’s feet, FUH-INALLY, but we won’t talk about that just yet.

Nomine released more Helloween goodies, not freebies this time, but not far off! Munch released some really freakishly wicked cool looking Skeleton skins! Available in three different varieties and 9 skintones: bleached, blackened, and burnt… the ones you see here are burnt in Medium Tan and oh em gee, I fell in love right away! (click on the images for a bigger version)

First up the face, isn’t it pretty…. in a halloween kinda way? (I must say these are useful for anytime you want to look half dead, not just halloween!) I chose the burnt as I mentioned above, purely because burnt is a mix of both bleached and blackened, it’s the white skeleton look with a black edging… sorta? Either way I love it. I have said this before and I will say it again I LOVE the lips on Nomine’s newer skins, they fit my av without a tweak in sight and are just goigeous! Of course on this skin they’re kinda sewn together but I still like em (you can get the skin without the sewn look btw).

So the body work on these? To be honest you can’t really see the finer details (if you even care about them) but from owning other “normal” skins from Nomine, I can tell you they are perfectly acceptable if you want to flash your cooter or baps at anyone, or just admire them yourself The bodywork is kinda sheilded on these by the bones, which is the entire point.. I believe. You get good detailing of the bone structure of a human from tips of fingers to toes, hip to spine.. it’s all there (ok before anyone starts picking, maybe all hte TEEENY tiny ones aren’t but shoosh ffs).

Overall I think it’s a great halloween get up and I, for one, really dig it! The Skeleton skins are $L500 a pop and there is also a sale on the regular skins and they are now also $L500! WOOTERS!

Ok so maybe it’s not the best AV EVAH… but it factors on the effin’ cool scale, doesn’t it? Well I don’t suppose you can answer that until you scroll down.. hmmm.

I found this on XStreet (or whatever it’s called this week) and I also saw it on Nimils Plurk timeline and was all DO WANT, so I got it!   It’s from Curio Obscura and it comes with various options of skirt length and 2 diff types of hair, all shown in some form in the pics below.

Ghostly Avatar 1 - Black and White

Ghostly Avatar 1 – Colour

Now bear in mind, this AV is best viewed at midnight, in the day it just doesn’t have the same effect.  I set my settings to midnight and I aslo post processed the pics into Black and White for added dramatic effect, but i’ve put a link under each one for you to view in colour, not that there’s much difference.

The Ghostly Avatar AV is basically all prims, AWESOME PRIMS.   You do get the shape and skin base to go with, which is thin and uh.. white but hey you don’t see it so that’s cool.   It really is one of the best looking AV’s i’ve seen in a LOOOOOOOOOONG time, something a lil out of the ordinary and most definately thinking outside of the box, yes?

Ghostly Avatar 2 - Black and White

Ghostly Avatar 2 – Colour

I love the fact that everything sways, well I say everything I mean the skirts and hair, you walk and it sways, you stand and it sways for a while, it really did fascinate me for a long time (I’m easily pleased, yes) and then I thought OMG this hair would look SO COOOOOOOOOOOL if done with “real” hair, but I figure the textures wouldn’t work but lo and behold, you can COLOUR the hair (and the bits for that matter) cos they are MOD!   It doesn’t do much but it does tint it to a recognisable level and i’ll be having fun messing with that!

Ghostly Avatar 3 - Black and White

Ghostly Avatar 3 – Colour

Overall there really isn’t much I can say to do this AV justice, but if you want to see it in world i’ll happily show you it, or you could pop along to Curio Obscura or visit the XStreet listing.   It’s $L900 and well worth every penny, I won’t wear it that often but I feel not one ounce of remorse over this purchase, not one!
