Song Of The Syrens

This is post is so far 'off my toes' that it doesn't even have feet, but that doesn't mean it is lacking in the stuff that gets your heart racing. When I first got a peek at the Erare Project, the latest venture from the creative people behind Celoe and LeLutka, I was quite simple in awe. It has been far too long since I climbed into something this breathtaking, the Erare Syrens, as they are called, are sensual and dangerous creatures... this isn't Disney folks. They have the appeal of a mermaid, but they have the kind of creative edge that makes them full out fantasy, rather than simply another SL costume event.

 

These eight beautiful creatures are; Flora, Foam, Fury, Ghost, Glory, Pretense, Mercy and Spire. Each of the Syrens comes packaged with everything you will need to drift away, minus the skin and shape, and for many that is ideal. The mesh parts of the Syren are beautifully realized, the system layer body texture is hauntingly detailed, and the flowing flexible prims are something out of a dream. These are well suited for anyone seeking inspiration for photographs, but equally great for dressing up with your friends and going underwater dancing at one of the mermaid friendly sims in SL, some of those mer-men are worth checking out too!

 

I decided to embrace the fantastical and resurrected the Trinity/Vampire Skins from Redgrave, they have a eerily pale iridescence that worked really well, and I love the dramatic look of them. Naturally you can wear your favorite human skins, or why not pull out some of those exotic gatcha prize skins and customize your look even further. Whether you create your own lore for your Syren, or derive inspiration from the included notecard, I hope you will take a closer look at them when you visit Mayfair tomorrow (Scheduled release date is March 1st), they are the stuff that songs are written about.

Major Trouble

Kinda went a little spike crazy, but I swear my intentions were good! I was inspired by the great new dress by Rebel Hope, another great release at faMESHed, and I was drawn to the great olive color which seemed to work so well with the fun metal details. I was able to find just the right shoe, another one of those great multicolor change options from Redgrave, this one has a killer spike of a metal heel and cute metal pyramid spikes scattered all over the shoes. You get silver and gold options with these too, so they can be a fun addition to your shoe wardrobe, whether you wear them in pink and purple or just basic black!

 

The hair bow was a gatcha goody from Auxiliary at The Arcade, I am pretty sure you can still find these at the main store. I won a mustard color one but I was able to 'select face' of the bow part and tint it to a brownish olive that really pulls the shoes and dress together. My collection of booN hairpieces is once again the perfect setting for my exciting bow topper, I have managed to throw a few together and get some fun height, a few stray tendrils and a great braid across the front. Finally, the earrings, another  faMESHed find, are some more scandalous metal spikes, created by Maxi Gossamer to add a great finishing touch!
