Friends and Fashion

About a year ago, I convinced a RL friend to try out Second Life. Then I dragged her across the grid searching out the best fashion and accessories. She tried to resist, but was powerless against my rhetorical skills. Now, a year later, we've just moved into a new Mudshake house and filled it with pets, friends, and awesome furniture. The house is enormous, and we're constantly running out of prims, but we love it. And the best thing about it is that there's two separate apartments, so we can share a house but still each have our own space.

So, as my first blog post that'll be syndicated to the Fashion Feed of SL (woohoo!) I thought it would be fun to do a photo shoot with my friend, the fabulous Aerin. She was kind enough to sit through hours of wardrobe deliberations, location scouting, and the like, and even knew that I was lying when I said she could decide stuff! That's a true friend!

In the end, we went with two shoots and two different outfits. For the first shoot, we headed to the beautiful build for Mon Tissu. I decided to showcase how different we are from each other in terms of our fashion sense. Aerin is very classically minded, and she loves evening gowns, retro chic, and full skirts. So in the two photos that follow, Aerin is wearing a gorgeous red evening gown from Miamai. As for me, I like a little more funk, a little of the unexpected. So I'm wearing my take on formal wear, complete with men's suit coat and shirt from Aoharu, and ripped stockings. I'm really happy with how these photos turned out.
