Spirits of the Season


It's the most wonderful time of year for amazing looks that are just a tad on the dark side. Okay, truthfully, my looks tend to be a little dark all year 'round, but October brings darker styles that will make your life much more interesting. If you tend to wear "normal" styles, now is the time to go wild!

  • The newest Hair Hell release from Aii & Ego is called Necromantic 
  • There are 64 colors in each of the tabs in the hud: Solid, Ombre, 2-Tone and Roots 
  • Left and Below you see streak styles using the BOM customization for the hair
  • Accessories for Necromantic are optional unrigged Horns in 16 textures and Hair Beads in 10 metals  




  • My outfit is from [QE] Designs. This is a Halloween edition of a long-time favorite and though it is labeled as a Nightie, I have never worn it to sleep. I use it for dancing or dates or demonic possession. The hud allows you to mix and match each section of the outfit in one of 4 Halloween colors 
  • [QE] platform shoes include 3 Halloween colors and 2 metals

Hair Hell Continues ...


You didn't really think you'd seen the last of Hair Hell, did you? 
Aii & Ego have released another amazing hairstyle for your consideration. You'll find this one at the Engine Room. 
Demos at the Main Store and the Engine Room.


Sonata*
is long, full, wispy and will work equally well for fantasy looks and everyday wear. One of my friends described it as "princess hair". Like the other styles in the Hair Hell series, there are 64 colors in each of the possible hair versions: Solid, Ombre, 2-Tone and Roots. The optional accessory is a moon-shaped clip in the back with 4 metals and 9 jewel colors.


All of the Hair Hell styles can be personalized using the included BOM colors. The BOM toggle button is on the regular hud under "customize" and the BOM colors are in a separate box.


I would suggest you spend a little time playing with the BOM hud and colors to become familiar with them. A tutorial card is included on how to use them. READ the instructions! It is essential to wear the included (BOM) Base Hair in order to use the BOM colors, though the special base is not necessary when you use the hair with the regular hud colors.

Colors used in the pictures, top to bottom:
1. BOM Monochrome 1 w Pastel 7 highlights
2. BOM Red 1 w Red 8 Highlights
3. BOM Blonde 2 w Prism 50%
4. BOM Red 1 w Red 8 Highlights

Body ~ Maitreya Lara 5.3
Head ~ LeLutka Evo X Avalon 3.1
Skin ~  DeeTaleZ Salma for LeLutka EvoZ
Makeup ~ Aii Mythical Mega Makeup Pack EvoX

Aii & Ego Chaos

As promised on my last blog, here's a look at the Aii & Ego Chaos Hair Hell.  This amazing hair comes with a generous knee-length ponytail styled with or without bangs. There are 64 colors in each of the possible hair versions: Solid, Ombre, 2-Tone and Roots.
The accessories for Chaos are jewel sparkles for the top of the hair and also for the face and neck

  • I paired Chaos with the Iron Rose Outfit which is also available this month @ Equal 10. Iron Rose is unisex body armor with intricate swirls and carefully placed roses
  • I'm wearing the armor over the Avian Ibrida tattoos, which you'll find in the Aii & Ego Main Store. I wanted more than just bare skin under the armor and the feathers with flesh worked perfectly. Avian Ibrida comes in 8 colors 
  • In the top and bottom photos, I'm wearing Aii & Ego Lily Devil Wings which are also in the Equal 10 display for your shopping ease. Or find Iron Rose and Lily Devil items @ Aii & Ego Main Store. The wings are unisex and come with multiple sizes and hud-driven texture choices for all parts.

Hair Hell from Aii & Ego


It may be called Hair Hell, but if you are a hair whore like I am, you will want to run, not walk, to the Aii & Ego display at Equal 10 to get this!
Serenity is one of the most amazing hair packages I've seen in a very long time! I say "one of", because Aii & Ego have 2 hair packages at this month's Equal 10 and the other one is also amazing. 
I'll be blogging the Chaos Hair separately. 

  • The Serenity Hair is wispy and wavy with optional buns. It comes in knee or ground length in multiple sizes and is rigged to move with your mesh body. The color hud has solid, roots, ombre, and 2-tone options in 64 colors with 10 metals for the decorative bands around the buns
  • The outfit I'm wearing is Aii & Ego's Night Glamour Lingerie, which is also available at Equal 10. Multiple textures for all parts let you personalize the set in wonderful ways 
  • For more information about the Night Glamor set, see my July blog HERE 
  • Demos of both hair packages and the Night Glamour set are available at the Aii & Ego Main Store or at Equal 10
Pictures were taken with Advanced Lighting (Materials). The textures look much richer with this option selected. If you don't ordinarily use advanced lighting, turn it on (Preferences/Graphics/Advanced Lighting Model) and see what you've been missing!

Body ~ Maitreya Lara 5.3

Night Glamour from Aii & Ego


To sleep, perchance to Dream; aye, there's the rub,

When we have shuffled off this mortal coil ~ Shakespeare

Pictures with Regular lighting and with Advanced lighting. 
Advanced lighting (Materials) brings out the sparkles in the fabrics and the wings and even affects the appearance of the makeup. 
Using advanced lighting only affects your screen. Others may see your outfit as duller and darker than you do unless you let them know to turn on Advanced lighting.

Aii & Ego Lunar Rabbit


The Moon Rabbit or Moon Hare is a mythical figure in East Asian and indigenous American folklore who lives on the Moon.

According to an Aztec legend, the god Quetzalcoatl, then living on Earth as a human, started on a journey and, after walking for a long time, became hungry and tired. With no food or water around, he thought he would die. Then a rabbit grazing nearby offered herself as food to save his life. Quetzalcoatl, moved by the rabbit's noble offering, elevated her to the Moon, then lowered her back to Earth and told her, "You may be just a rabbit, but everyone will remember you; there is your image in light, for all people and for all times."

  • Aii & Ego have another "better together" series of releases available in the Main Store. All Aii & Ego items include extensive texture huds to personalize the individual parts of each item
  • Lunar Rabbit Ears and Tail come in Bento or Animesh unisex sizes S-L. I'm wearing size L. A rabbit nose tattoo in 6 shades is included
  • Dainty Beast Feet are mesh body compatible for Male or Female. BOM picks up the color of your skin automatically and there are tintable tattoos and the texture hud to add even more interest
  • Iron Rose Outfit comes with Collar, Bodice, Sleeves, Legs to be worn separately or all together, as well as rose Earrings (not shown). For Male or Female, be sure to try a Demo to assure the outfit will work with your mesh body

Midsummer Enchantment continues

 

You have another 10 days to wander the paths between the Shops and Hunt for L$10 Potion Bottles @ Midsummer Enchantment.

The event is beautifully landscaped and offers numerous photo opportunities for you to model those new items you just purchased.



Wearing an EXCLUSIVE Skin from Edie's*. This is for the EvoX head and ears only.
Showing Cloudy browless worn with the default HD brows that came with my head. I'm also using the Shadow and Lip colors from the Lorna Makeup Pack available in the Edie's shop. 
There are 3 Fantasy Skins to be found in the Edie's Potion Bottles. These are also for the EvoX head.

My ears are lightly tinted in some ombre colors from Venge
*.


My outfit includes elements from two Midsummer Enchantment designers: Jacket and Corset from Sternberg* combined with a cute kicky Skirt from Zoom*.
 
The Zoom outfit comes with a cute matching top, but I really appreciate that the skirt can be worn separately because so many of our designers have also made cute tops this time and the skirt goes with all of them!
