Yesterday, Ran and I attended the very fabulous parties (yup, there were two of them, and we stayed up much too late to attend both since the first one was so much fun) held at the Fleur sim to celebrate the rebranding of Tete a Pied as Fleur as well as their move to just next door to Nicky Ree’s sim. The event was a glamorous Casino Royal-style party, complete with a roulette table that all the guests were encouraged to bet on (for free, ensuring that no gambling rules were violated). The lucky winners, and there were lots of those, took home Fleur gift certificates.
The list of attendees, for both of the parties, read a little like a Who’s Who in SL, all very daunting for two relative newcomers such as ourselves. But by the second round, later in the evening, I was back to my usual self making entirely !PG jokes whenever the chance was given. For some reason, and I may have to take some of the blame for this, the end of the second party ended up in the gutter. I think it all started with the yaoi ... or possibly the eyepatches ... Anyway, it was late, so that’s my excuse. ;)
Unfortunately, our computers were not up to taking pictures at the party (they were barely up at all, in fact ;P), but we figured we’d at least include a few shots of what we were wearing. Besides, it gave us an excuse to play with the freebie couple poses at LoveLace Lingerie.
Skin: Grazia t2 Sultry by Adam n Eve
Hair: Vivian (retextured) by ETD
Outfit: Decollage Black by Adam n Eve
Accessories: Oriental Airen Black Pearl by Alienbear
I already reviewed the lovely Decollage gown and the beautiful Airen jewellery in my previous post, but it doesn’t hurt to repeat that I really like them. What I didn’t mention last time was how well the Sultry makeup for Grazia goes with the red of the belt (or the red of the whole gown if you wear that one). Its from the newest set of Grazia releases, and for me it has just the right amount of shine to the lips.
Skin: Scorpio Ra by the Abyss
Hair: Brian Midnight by Calico
Coat: Solitaire by Nuclear Boutique
I am not sure, however, that I am the prettiest thing in these pictures. The Scorpio skin is just to die for, especially in the two darkest tones, and together with that gorgeous mane of hair ... sigh. ;)
The Solitaire coat from Nuclear Boutique’s recently opened men’s section looks very elegant and just oldfashioned enough to appeal to me.
Skin: Vivant Cream Pin-Up 1 by Fleur
Hair: Karen (retextured) by ETD
Outfit: Decollage Red by Adam n Eve
Accessories: Oriental Airen Black Pearl by Alienbear
For the later of the two parties, we both switched shapes, skins and outfits. Well, I switched into the red instead of the black gown, but anyway. This time, I paired it with a Fleur skin, and I have to say I think the Pin-Up in Cream makes for an extremely striking combination on its own, and especially with the red gown.
Skin: Scorpio Ra by the Abyss
Hair: Sonja (retextured) by ETD
Outfit: Double-Breasted Tuxedo by SF Designs
Ran was supposed to be in the darkest Scorpio tone for this, the Osiris, but he forgot to switch. I can assure you both are very yummy, though. ;)
He did remember to switch his outfit, at least. Here he is in the recently updated and very stylish Double-Breasted Tuxedo from SF Designs.
We’re hoping that someone with a better computer took some pictures of the actual event, because there were a lot of gorgeously dressed avatars (both female and male) in attendance. All in all, a wonderful party, and we can’t thank Roslin and CJ (and Nicky Ree) enough for organising the event and giving away so many fabulous prices. We’ll be going shopping at Fleur very soon.
