StyleCard: J's Thigh Highs

There are certain areas of SL fashion where I rarely venture... these would include the fetish gear, latex, rubber, etc. But sometimes an item can crossover into the other areas of virtual fashion, and be unexpected treats for the occasional RP or themed party. When JB Gazov of J's Boots sent me 2 variations of his latest Thigh High Boots, I wasn't really sure what to make of them. They are sexy, they are high, and they really show how far the clever use of the 'system shoe' has come in the past couple years. With a beautifully shaped foot piece and wrinkled ankle prim these hardly look like any system shoe I have ever seen, but the great texturing of the leg portion which is part of that system shoe and the added bow make these a nice pair of sexies.

The boots come in 2 variation as previously mentioned, a Lace-up and Non-laced version. Though I expect this type of boot lends itself well to the fetish fashion world, I chose to take mine in the direction of 'Future Sexy' . The great corset and mini skirt from Mekanoize Labs (hey, where did they go?) and the upper part of the Bare Rose Decadence Maia Silver Jacket were just the thing. I added my new favorite hair, Shirley from Zero Style and headed to INSILICO for a few pics.

Visit J's Boots to pick up a pair.

The stuff; Redgrave Skin, Zero Style Hair, Bare Rose Jacket, Corset and Mini from Mekanoize Labs.

LOVE and LUST: Stiletto Moody Spring Preview

The past 24 hours have been pretty spectacular in the life of this shoe blogger. Last night I had the privilege of meeting the head siren on Stilettos, Stiletto Moody, and her boutique manager Dancer Dallagio. I was escorted into the inner chambers of the Stiletto Moody headquarters and given a look at the very top secret and utterly fantastic Spring Preview, a collection of 4 new styles that will satiate those among us who have just been salivating for something new from Moody... some of us more patiently than others.

Instead of my usual creative shot and straight shoe pics - time being of the essence here - I have decided to tease you with some sexy photos of these mini masterpeices of footwear, in hopes that you will run, not walk, to Stiletto Moody to take a closer look for yourselves before scooping them up as soon as they hit the shelves tomorrow at 4 PM game time!

Top to bottom are; O Wedge (Black), Foxy Wedge (Pink), O Wedge Tie (Silver), Elegant Slingback (Rose Gold).

The O Wedges are absolute pieces of art, amazing crossover footwear that appeals to both a fetish driven buyer and those of us who see them as sculptural masterpieces we can wear. Moody herself is referring to them as "fashion-meets-fetish", and I couldn't agree more... even though my fetish is for fashion! The sleeker heel cup version(shown in all black) is my personal favorite, while the option with the heel ties allows for custom fitting, versatility and added bling factor.

The Foxy Wedges (shown in pink) pack a whole bunch of goodness into one shoe... the familiar Louboutin-esque uppers mated with a knock out wedge in 9 color combinations - these are spectacular!

And then there is the sweet darling of the Spring Preview, the Elegant Slingback. The keen eyed among you might remember seeing a sneak peak way back when the store first opened, you will be happy to know it's back, better than ever, and in 3 colors - including the Rose Gold shown here, which I adore.

It seems so fitting with Valentine's Day just around the corner that Stiletto Moody has given us more to love... err, lust after. Stiletto is also giving us a celebratory 3-day end of season sale and offering a 40% discount on previous season stock to members of the “Stiletto Moody Shoes” group, join up if you haven't yet and wear your tag while shopping. Sale will run from 4 PM on February 1st, until 4 PM February 4th. Oh! and guys, if you are looking for the perfect gift for your ladies this Valentine's Day remember that Stiletto Moody has easy to use gift vendors in store.

Phew! Could anyone else use a cold shower? ;-)

also wearing; Minnu Skin, Hair by Cake... and nothing.
