All of My Friends are Heathens

It seems like everyone is talking about Bento lately with good reason. If you haven't heard of Bento by now crawl out from underneath your rock and join the SL World. Bento was released back in December I believe by Linden Labs as the new Avatar Skeleton. It makes for more realistic movement and makes the avatar as a whole more realistic for mesh creators. At least that's my understanding. With that being said let me talk about what Bento products I have tried.

I broke down and bought the Vista Bento Hands not thinking about seeing if Slink had updated her stuff. They aren't super duper user friendly like the Bento hands that come with the Maitreya Lara Mesh body. Slinks are more user friendly than the Vista hands but you have to buy the hand animations seperately or instead of updating all the hands you bought you suck it up and pay out of pocket for the big "Dynamic" hands. That too me is a bit excessive seeing as you're paying at least 500 - 700 L for each pair of hands before the Bento update. I've been a slink fan for a few years now but Maitreya's hands have won me over. So have her feet but Maitreya's feet aren't Bento as far as I know. I've talked to a few other mesh body users that own more than one mesh body, especially ones who own the Maitreya mesh body and Slink's bodies and all agree that Maitreya's is the most user friendly with everything controlled from one hud. I own the Slink Hourglass body as well and will probably do a post comparing that body with the Maitreya body, I just have a couple of shapes to tweak to make both bodies look proportionate.

Moving onto Bento Heads. I demoed a lot before deciding which one I wanted. I tried Catwa's Catya head which seems to be the most popular one by Catwa but I didn't like it. I didn't like how much editing I had to do for one head, it felt like there was too much editing involved for me. So I moved onto another company, I don't remember the name of, and although I liked the lips on the head none of the skin places I frequent make appliers for it so I steered away from it. I then tried two heads from Lelutka, the Simone head and the Chloe head. Chloe was by far my favorite and didn't require much editing to my shape's face. I liked that part but also liked how youthful it seemed compared to Simone at least in my opinion. It didn't take me that long to adjust my shape's face to fit the Chloe head and make it look more realistic looking. That made me happy.

All in all Maitreya and Lelutka did not disappoint me with their Bento. My suggestion to you is demo before you buy to decide. Be picky and if you don't like it don't buy it. Whether it's Bento heads, hands, feet, ears, tails or mesh bodies only buy something you're 100% happy with.

I've Been So Hollow Inside

So I've been debating on getting the Loud Mouth for ages and have been putting it off because it was another Mesh Body Part that I didn't think I needed or really wanted. I was waiting to see if more skin creators would make appliers for this particular product and I was thrilled when I saw that Glam Affair did. I'm not sure if Lara Hurley has yet but I do hope she makes the appliers soon if she hasn't. I'm honestly in love with my Loud Mouth and love that you can get different teeth for it. Being the vampire freak that I am I purchased the vampire teeth, which are sold separately, but don't worry the mouths come with teeth that you have the option of wearing or getting other teeth for. But yea I'm loving the Mouth and how it looks tons better than my default mouth. Don't get me wrong I also love the default lips but these look better like I'm smirking more instead of just frowning. So if you've been debating on getting this product but haven't completely made up your mind I say go for it because it's a well crafted and easy to use product.

Anywhooooo I've also been wanting these little ring doohickies for my slink hands. I saw they were apart of an event but since I don't log into SL as often as I used to I missed out on the event. Thankfully though they're now on marketplace and the creator has so much for the slink hands that are usable on the Male and Female hands. Definitely check them out. I also kind of went overboard on getting things from Suicidal Unborn and grabbing up their group gifts. My eyes are the newest group gift and I have to admit I'm in love with these. I love how they look and how you can even put in the mesh eyes and make your eyes two different colors. I also picked up these garters that I adore and finally have use for this collar. All in all I got the Wednesday Addams vibe going on that I absolutely love.... because it feels like Wednesday Addams after she hit puberty and discovered dark kawaii. I hope you all have enjoyed the look as much as I've enjoyed putting it together. Happy Shopping!

Talk Will Get You Nowhere

I'm going crazy I swear, there isn't snow on the ground where I'm at and it's perfect weather for picnics and going swimming. On top of that I've also started trying to get back into Rp and have found a new home for rp while I wait for Fallen to reopen if it ever does. While the photos aren't taken at my new rp home you should definitely go check out Convergence: The Lost City and put in an app to come roleplay with us. People are pretty awesome to roleplay with and the owner of the Sim (Zekkiel Zerundi) is pretty cool. I've been rping with him off and on for a couple years now and he's pretty friendly.... even if every so often he gives Liz's heart attacks. Anyways this outfit is something I plan on wearing to rp one of my characters since I'm trying to get her out of black and making her blend in a little bit more. I'm starting to swear by Delirium Style when I rp since most of what I wear or want my characters to wear comes from Delirium Style. Obsessed? Just a little! Anyways have fun shopping and come rp with me at Convergence. :3

It's Just A Little Too Wrong

Lately I've been watching The Walking Dead.... and trying to get caught up with the current season and feeling cold since it looks like this year might be a decent winter where I am in RL.... I've been wanting to wear warm clothes and snuggle up and watch walking dead where I can scream at people I don't like to die. Anyways [bubble]'s released these cute sweaters that come in many different prints and I've been wearing this one and one with a pentagram on it for the last few days hoping that would make me feel warm. I also stopped by Mute. since they're having a closing sale, I believe it ends on November 30th. Although you can't see them in the picture I got some really cute foot chains there, they're for slink high feet. The best part is EVERYTHING at Mute is 10 L including fatpacks, gachas and shoes. Hope you're keeping warm, happy shopping!

She's Divine, She's Super Lady

Hello November! This month feels like it's going by so fast and I for one wish it would slow down a little so I could at least enjoy what's left of 2014. It seems like just yesterday we were saying goodbye to 2013 and now another year has passed. Another year has passed and some great fashion has come out. With it being November we have Sad November going on and I'm not sure if this is an annual thing but I kept seeing it blow up my feeds on facebook and on flickr and hadda go. I picked up this cute knit dress from blush. and I saw it styled on a blog with a jacket and thought the look was adorable. Of course I added these cute stockings from Forever Young, these cute boots that are currently the group gift from :Reign: and this sexy leather jacket from Delirium Style and Bam I was in heaven. ONLY my look got better when I found this nail polish applier hud for slink hands on marketplace for 6 lindens. I love the vibrant colors and how there are animal prints. I've been wanting to put together a look that had animal print but I've been wanting to lean towards Zebra.... and couldn't find much of anything I liked.... when all of a sudden this little hud saved my life. Not really but yea I love it and you'd be crazy not to pick it up. Anyways happy shopping and be safe.

How You Remind Me Of Where I Used To Be

Halloween has come and gone and I gotta say I can't wait for next year. I already have what I wanna be picked out already and am formulating a plan for what I wanna do. I do admit that I'm glad that the Halloween events are starting to die down and things are mellowing out for the most part. I can wait for the Christmas carols. Anyways I recently got my hands on this jumpsuit from Delirium Style and have been wearing it for like a few days and am loving the textures and color options for the belt. It's simple and classic and I'm in love with this jumpsuit.... feels weird to say but it's gorgeous. I also took a trip to Spellbound which was having a 50% off sale for Halloween.... don't know if it was just for Halloween but it's definitely worth a go look. I love the color packs and may end up picking up 1 or 2 of the hairs I have already in other colors at some point in the near future just to add a little color pop to my wardrobe. Anyways hope you all had an amazing Halloween and are having a safe weekend. <3

Staring into Forever

Finding that special place where you can hang out and all your cares, worries, stresses and problems melt away is something that is priceless. Finding a look or an outfit or a piece of clothing that you don't want to take off is even more precious. I've been wanting to find an outfit that was girlie and totally got out of my norm of black, urban and not all that feminine. Between the Big Show and the 100 Block... and Reign making shoes that make me become a shoe crazed fanatic it wasn't hard to find something that fit the exact look I wanted. I've also been looking for a curly hair with bangs and love how this one looks on my avi and love that it ties the whole look together to perfect it. I hope you enjoy the look and wish you happy shopping!
