Nicky Ree - Dragon Princess Bodysuit

I've loved this catsuit since the day I bought it and no, I'm not going to mix it with anything in my wardrobe simply because it is so many options in itself. Plus, well, it's a catsuit - those pretty much stand alone and this one will definitely put you in your own league. Now, I didn't go into Designing Nicky Ree for a catsuit, I went to look at the gowns. Well, as they say, a funny thing happened on the way - I saw the Dragon Princess bodysuit and couldn't reach for my Lindens fast enough.
.
The full outfit has 13 pieces, including multiple layer tops (bikini, midriff, open and closed jacket) and pants (bikini bottom and pants), stockings, gloves with bands and a brushed metal belt that finishes the look. Equally good with ankle boots or thigh highs (or anything in between), the array of options in layers and styles also makes it great for combining with a variety of tattoos and piercings. Sleek and subtle with a muted silver dragon winding its way down the length, the suit manages to look both revealing and understated at the same time, giving you far more places where it fits in than you would think initially.

You get a ridiculous number of options for only L$380 per suit and, even though I didn't mix any of the pieces with other separates, it can certainly be done. The suit comes in six colors, all with dragon in corresponding complementary shade - purple, blue, black, aqua, green and earth. The earth toned suit is particularly spectacular but didn't seem quite right for my coloring, though I think it would be amazing on tall, pale redheads...

Bobbysocks - Thigh High Straps

In a metaverse where anything is possible, my search for the perfect thigh high boots seemed incredibly long. Not that there aren't a lot of great thigh highs out there, but I wanted something that would go equally well with latex, leather or a plain ol' pair of jeans. It was also a challenge looking for something that wasn't either very plain or very ornate - simply because I wanted a lot of versatility and options (I just don't have a need for multiple pairs of thigh highs.) Enter the Thigh High Straps by Bobbysocks. Wow. Just wow. Exactly what I was looking for - subtle detailing but with plenty of oomph. (And, again, my apologies, my graphics card does not do either the boots or the clothing justice.)

Now, when you go to pick yours up - get the Bobbysocks boot fitting information card before you buy your boots. It gives approximate leg sizes for avatars, including a second set of measurements for petites (which is a good thing, since that was me). It also explains their custom fitting policy which is free for the first fitting on the majority of avatars. I was a little worried about the fitting process, but a quick IM and a little bit of instruction (to me, LOL!) and my boots had gone there and back and were on my legs - completely painless. At L$575, they aren't cheap, but considering the level of service and the fact that I just sigh happily when I put them on, they are well worth it.
