In my First Life, I can't afford trendy fashion. In my Second Life, I'll just learn to *make* trendy fashion.

It's a pretty gross understatement to say that these days, filthy is sexy in SecondLife. The grungier you can make it, the better, and the more it looks like you just crawled your way through muddy barbed-wire, the more compliments you're bound to get.

That's why, as I was attempting to stalk a Noam this evening (elusive being that he is, this is much harder than it sounds) I wound up at The Block. The Block is the place for urban grunge fashion, at least, insofar as I've discovered. And after a hesitant inquiry of Zabitan Assia (owner of FORM and co-owner of the Block) about which of his garments he thought would look sexiest on a girl AV, I came away with a mini-makeover to share.

This Before photo is my general kind of wear. A floofy skirt, a pretty top, and sweet hair. (Dazzle *Rendezvous*, .:fRUit:., Kin Keiko *Abby*)

After Zabitan got FORM's dirty paws on me...

I blended in so well, Jonny Dusk mistook me for a slum-maiden and whisked me away to his Grunge Castle (squatter hang-to).
Here you can see me decked out in closeup, looking totally at home in the slummiest of grunge-shui environs. The ShredR low-rise jeans, built for boys like all of FORM, are mouth-wateringly unisex. And, even pale as I am, the never-seen-Clorox grey of the Suspect tank stands out just fine, giving me some subtle hardass definition, too. (FORM*ShredR low*, FORM *Suspect tank*, Kin Keiko *Emi*)

So stark what just those three pieces can do. Sure, everyone knows that Kin and Zabitan are great designers already, that's nothing new. But the best part? Total cost of the main makeover (accessories not included: chokers, bracelets, bodyparts, tattoos) was $300L. Jeans - $75L. Tank - $125L. Hair - $100L.

I went to a social event in SL today. (Ru, social? Bah!) As a result, I got to stare adoringly at some of my favorite SL designers (Zabitan, Helyanwe *she's so...tall swoon*, Keishii, Dragontat, Antonia, etcetc). The highlights however, were DJ and Gear-shifter Don Brennan's sexy voice and Noam's new tasty mouse.



He's scripted for extra morbidness XD

Oh, and it also became known to like the whole world that I have my own Gritty Kitty/Noam Sprocket fanclub. I'm so shortbus.

As an aside, and something that will no doubt hinder any real productivity of ".:fRUit:."...I know nothing of Photoshop! Noooothingggggggggggggg.
