i tend to find dudes running around willy nilly in sltuxes a little creepy (perhaps because they're usually accompanied by system hair and egregious party in the pants, which naturally screams "i'm here for the e-bukakke!"). but for whatever reason, marlene dietrich be praised, i find chicks in menswear delectable.

this first suit is one of the gifts available at the 1925 chicago roleplaying sim (the other is a flapper dress). the landmark will take you to the OOC area, and make your way to the two wooden crates which contain the gifties. and have a wander around the charming prohibition era build, but do be careful to read the sim's rules regarding dress code and roleplay, and behave accordingly. the skin with its pale sheen and bee-stung lips is a comme il faut group special, dulce - join up, go to the store with your tag activated, and click the appropriate store poster to receive your copy. also check out the red sale for good deals on some of moire georgette's beautiful work. it goes on through the 12th, so get your skin before then!


[hair - comme il faut (50L at aforementioned sale; shoes - unique needs (subscribeomatic gift; check archives for availability)]


this second suit, a lucky chair gift, is something for which i have second style's express zenovka to thank. after getting himself about 3968 red lucky chair dresses in an effort to get this tux for himself, he tp'd me into cascade rezzable to help speed along the process. i also ought to mention the shoes - if you're like me and missed ::line::'s converse group gift, you can now get them for 25L during their sale.. i have no idea how long it'll run, so i'd get over there quick. even if you're not into chucks, there are several other more girly options set to 25L.

I've said it before and I'll say it again - chic ladies in menswear is as "fashion" as it gets.

Plus, it's super hot.

Got that converse from :::line:::
and compared it with the one from UBU...
You'll see it when you go to the edit mode and highlight the edge...
and take pics and compare them

If :::line::: didn't steal the mesh from UBU then there might be a converse mesh sold on the 3D market...

It was grass last night. Today "no valid parcel can be found".

And another treasure slips into the ether.

There are only so many ways that a Converse shoe can look! (if it's going to be based on rl Cons) I, myself buy UBU & also own these - as far as I can see they're not identical.

Very reluctant to use the word 'steal' for obvious reasons, having worked in a legal field myself.

There are huge resources selling many shoe meshes in SL full perm.

i had NO idea the sim went poof you guys.. i'm really sorry to hear that the land got sold, susie... not that i roleplay but it sounded like a great concept. :/

sienna, i just walked in the door so i haven't had a chance to investigate anything yet today but i'll try to do some digging when i get back inworld.

ubu lover, to my eyes, and as anon pointed out, a chuck is pretty much a chuck is a chuck if you want it to look anything at all like converse. not a lot of construction wiggle room or whatever there. *shrug*

adaiiiire we miss you!

No need to apologize Olivia ^^ Not your fault that it disappeared overnight, although it was very unfortunate and had horrible timing haha. Do you know the creator? Maybe it could be tracked down that way ^^
