I'm back...

For those who are close to me, knew I didn't really leave. It has been some difficult weeks for me. I have lost someone dear... To get over it, I just buried myself in work, rl and sl...

It's no secret, that I love SL fashion and photography...and all photographers know that a mesh avatar is one of the best to shoot... At ApplyMe this September round, you will find this gorgeous JUMO mesh head that fits the Maitreya and Belleza mesh body perfectly.  

This beauty is not only sexy but near the natural realism, with high quality textures, creating a look very young and attractive with sinuous curves and soft to look sensual and delicate. It comes with a matching eyeliner and lip hud of 5 different colours. You can also wear the skin with Classic Avatars too.

Now, for a perfect picture, I am wearing this mesh steampunk gown from Lybra... It comes in 8 different colours and available at the Mesh Avenue till September 31.

When I first started SL, mesh wasn't invented yet. As a model then, one of the most tedious things that I have learned is to edit prims. I would be standing on the pose stand for hours just to get the perfect look.

With the invention of mesh, things get easier. It is even better with fitted mesh clothing that can adjust and fit to your avatar's own personal shape and style. Of late, along with the craze for mesh bodies, fashion designers are now designing appliers that wear on mesh bodies with just a click of a button. 

This trend is the start of the SL fashion revolution in my opinion. What I love about clothing appliers is that you can adjust your shape to any size or move your body in any way and yet the clothing stays fitting to your body like it's custom made for you. No more editing of prims! and the wonder of texture huds to create a unique piece each time you wear your clothing and shoe is definitely a dream for every shopper in SL.

Head down to Apply Me, a monthly event where all the mesh bodies compatible creators in SL showcase their new and exclusive masterpieces all in one place!

Masoom ~ Siren Lingerie

One of my all time favourite is this sexy Siren lingerie from Masoom. Moving forward with the current fashion trend in SL, Masoom's Siren works well with classic and mesh avatar and comes with Omega, Maitreya, Slink and TMP appliers. 

A good quality skin sets you apart from the others. With well defined eye brows, eye liner and a fuller lips, Amelia from L'Emacity creates a look of a classic beauty that you will surely love... Amelia comes with LoudMouth, NyamNyam, SweetLips, Slink and Omega Appliers. Love this!

The world of Appliers

In one of my posts in June, I talked about how to be fashionable wearing just Appliers. For those who have missed that one, you can read it HERE. I am very fussy when it comes to dressing up my avatar. For appliers of clothing, I always look for how well the clothes are joined at the waist and how well textured the clothes are.

I love this Nima Dress from TWS not just because of the colour pink! and it looks nice on me, but because it comes with appliers for Belleza, Maitreya, TMP, Physique, Omega, and Altamura. For us who owns a few mesh bodies, this definitely is one of the factors that we consider when we shop for dresses.

I love this Asian looking Barbie Doll look with the Ten Hair from Tableau Vivant, VG Michelle heels from VG Shoes and Mila skin from Kirei which comes in 5 skin tones and both Head and Body TMP appliers. There isn't many designers for asian skins. I am glad I found Kirei. 

What is your style?

If you are a Mesh Fanatic

Apply Me is an event that you cannot miss if you are a Mesh Fanatic. I have put away my TMP body for awhile as the Maitreya takes a strong presence lately. There are comments that the TMP system is difficult to use. In my opinion, the learning curve is steep but once you get the hang of it, it has actually a wonderful inventory system. However, I do hope to see more designers for TMP. 

If you own a few mesh bodies, you would definitely love designs that you can wear on as many of the mesh bodies as possible. Today, I am going to introduce few of these brands that you can find in Apply Me and The Black Dot Project.

Gwen from Suki is a super sexy tight fitting lace bodysuit that comes with TMP, Slink, Belleza, Maitreya and Omega applier. A versatile piece to wear it on its own or with a skirt or remove the shoulder pad and throw over a jacket for a more formal look.

I found Michelle from VG shoes to match Gwen perfectly. Michelle comes in both Sling and TMP ouch version. Remember if you are wearing the TMP ouch, you have to have a foot size of around 45. 

As we all know, we cannot edit mesh heads too much and to stand out from the crowd, a good quality skin is very important. Leviosa from Pixy Stix comes in 10 skins tones and each skin tone includes no brow and brow versions, 3 tintable brows, nipple and no nipple version. It comes with major appliers for Maitreya, Belleza, Wowmeh, KL and TheMeshProject, etc.

Have fun styling!
