On HIS Toes

Tesla Miles is such a tease! She goes and gets me all excited about a new release this week, only to drop on me 6 pairs of... men's shoes. *groans* OK, I can do this! All I need to do is find some willing male feet - Oh! and looky... isn't that Caelen Mata and his adorable feet right there. Yay! So here it is, a review of Tesla's first steps into the land of male footwear.

OK for starters can we just acknowledge the fact that men's and women's footwear and avatar feet for that matter are very different, so for Tesla to tackle a new challenge like this is really admirable. And the truth is she has done a really nice job on these Leather Oxfords, they are simple and well constructed, nice textures and shapes - and in 6 wearable shades.

These come with a resizer script and I really didn't ask Cael to play around with it (thus, the slightly smallish feet in these shots), but it is a great feature and the instructions are easy enough to follow. Now I need to go take this handsome man dancing, in his nice new Oxfords... see how that works? :)

Gentlemen you can find these shoes at Tesla World. Enjoy!

Caelen is also wearing; Damiani Skin, -=H2L=- Hair (I think), Armidi Suit & Tie, I am wearing; Minnu Skin, ETD Hair, Ingenue Dress, Battered Boudoir seamed stockings and Maitreya Verve Pumps.

ChiChi, Yes Yes...Yes!

It feels like I have been living in lingerie for the past week or so, but really what better reason to take off your clothes is there… than lounging about in great shoes like these. When I first caught sight of the new ChiChi shoes from Maitreya it was at the GLAM Magazine launch fashion show. My heart skipped at least a beat, maybe two, my camera zoomed – I was in bliss. These shoes are like a little Valentine’s gift to all female feet across the grid.

Onyx LeShelle has really outdone herself, the styling of this shoe is spectacular and inspired by a real life shoe that she fell in love with on sight – no I won’t name names… but feel free to do some research! The amazing shape is a shoe lovers dream, and the details are completely ingenious, she even went so far at to have the inside textured to give the illusion of a shadow created by the straps and ties… I mean – nobody sees that unless they are rezzing them to take a photograph, but there it is, small gold logo embossed on the sole and all.

You really can’t go wrong with these shoes – my advice is fatpack these babies, but even if you can decide on one or two pairs – you get so much value here. The shoes are scripted – NO, not for bling or clicking! –so that you can change the color of the trim. There are 14 shoe colors, and 16 changeable trim colors… my math is rusty, but I think that gives you approx. 224 options… far too many to list here. And knowing how Maitreya continually experiments with new and exciting textures I am sure that it won’t be long before they introduce variations of the ChiChi. The ChiChi has just hit the shelves – make sure a visit to GLAM WORLD 2 is on your Valentine’s ‘to do’ list. Now please… I need some alone time with my shoes!

Also wearing; Minnu Skin, Artilleri lingerie and hair. The amazing cushions are by Neil Protagonist and are available at Fluff n Stuff.

On the CourtX...

My old friend Zach has a special eye for shoes...I think his wife, Lilee might just be one of the luckiest girls in SL. So when Zach let me know he saw some shoes I might like, I tp'd right over. He was as always, right. The CourtX pumps are shiny and sexy, and full of fire. I grabbed the venetian red, but they are also come in a glossy black. The CourtX are made by Adrina Welders of AW Design and run $415L a pair. Her shop has a lot of various items for sale and when I spoke to her she plans on releasing more shoes in the future.

All Fueled Up!

Those gazillions of Fashion Consolidated notices I get everyday can sometimes make me want to hit that 'leave group' button (let's not even touch the group chat spam situation). But I do read them, most of them, especially anything to do with footwear. Fuel released some pretty neat sculpted boots yesterday, I visited the main store at Envy to take a closer look.

Though creator Sandy Cleghorn offers some other nice looking shoes, boots and accessories - the new Tainted Boots are a unique combination of boot, open-toed shoe and slouchy leg warmer all in one, and they offer some pretty unique features too. Funny how the minute I see leg warmers I always think about Jazzercise, the Jane Fonda Workout & Flashdance... so i dug through my wardrobe and just went with it! Oh yeah.. I am a maniac on the floor.

Let's look a little closer at some of the neat extras included on this boot. Most obviously... the adorable prim toes, yes toes. The folder comes complete with toe shade and nail shade rezzable prims that allow you to customize the shade of the skin and the varnish... possibilities are endless here. The slouched leg warmer comes in a few neat variations for texture; Wooly (with bonus black & gold boots), Spots, Print, Fur, Gold Metallic & Tartan. The upper leg portion is scripted, a simple touch with raise or lower the leg warmers individually - gotta love that! Here I am showing the Special Edition Wooly Set and the Print Set.

Obviously, Lycra is not required to enjoy these boots. Sorry - got to go, I am running late for my 'Cats' audition!

Also wearing; Hair by ETD, Minnu Model Skin, Kitties Lair 'Call On Me' Outfit.
