Hide & Seek

I don't find buckers naked sexy, I don't mean tasteful nudes, I mean full on in your face "here's my bits"! To me, sexy is more about what you hide then what you show, and hiding a lot and showing a little is sometimes the most tempting of looks. This outfit is all about showing a little, hiding a little, and being a total Fashion Diva. Let's start at the top with this Vanessa Hair from MMS in Pitch Black. A previous group gift, what I like about it is that it let's me peek out from behind sleek straight pieces. This fantastic skin from bianca. F is called Mask quite appropriately, with a sweep of smokey shadow over the bridge of the nose, it adds drama and artistry. Eyes are Freak Fantasia's Glassy Mustard Green, framed by [Detour] Love Lashes.

Hiding a little, and revealing just enough with sexy glimpses of the soft sides of the torso and smooth shoulders is this stunning Le Fashionable Python outfit from [MG Fashion]. I love a hot little mini-skirt, that lets a whole lot of leg show, particularly when your legs are clad in Stiletto Moody's NEW Gladiator Boot. I had a chance to model these when they were beta versions, and wore them in this month's issue of Vain Inc. Magazine and I was patiently waiting for them to be mine. Stiletto dropped a pair on me after release, and I could not be more thrilled with them. They are so well done, textures are lovely, and the sculpted pieces are used ingeniously to wrap and caress the leg, drawing the eye up the leg with delicious cut-outs revealing small glimpses of soft smooth skin. If I didn't have to blog and therefore change my outfits on a daily basis, I might be caught wearing them every day.



Accessories are sleek and minimal, with these ~*Fresh Baked Goods*~ Copper Coloured Sculpted Sugar Bangles, which I touch scripted to Onyx Gems. I am wearing the Diamonde. Gillian Ring, that I once again tinted, this time to a copper orange colour, and think it goes perfectly with this look. Finally, this great simple clutch served me well on my trip to the RFL Fashion Expo 2008, where I spent as much as I possibly could. It is the PV Portfeuille ‘Oceane’ Black by Precious Vukovic, but I was unable to find a current in-world location.

So what have we learned? If you are seeking attention, hide a little skin.

Working The System

I was all geared up for shopping, when my sister Anessa sent out notice that the NEW Paper Couture line had dropped. My heart did little flippity flops, and so off we went, wading through the laggage to grab up some fresh baked goods! I was wearing this little number from *ICING*, called Puma Jie, and I had been waiting for an opportunity to look sharp! I think Miko Omegamu's work is exceptional, and her skills are improving with every release, I have to hold myself back from buying everything she makes, it really is a dangerous but relatively safe addiction.

I paired this look with my fabulous Barcelona Slingbacks from Armidi, in a colour called Falu, they are just a nice deep red and I love the shape of them. I am also weating a great Onyx Necklace and Gold Bracelet, available separately from aya V., who's work is really interesting and very affordable. I also have this adorable PV Oceanic under-arm clutch, a gift from Precious Vuckovic months and months ago, and it is so great when you want your hands free to shop with! I threw on these great freebie hoop earrings from Paper Couture, not sure if they still give them away, but they were in the Fall Campaign Gift Bag.

This hair is NEW from Diversity, and I was lucky enough to nab it in the sale on the release date for about 25% the normal cost. I love the off-set bun and the long tendrils of hair tucked behind my ears. I strongly urge people to join the Digit Darkes & Diversity Hair subscribe-o-matic group for these limited time offer notices, you never know when you could find something new and fabulous. Skin from Celestial Studios, and still grooving on these eyes from Detour.

Tip: On a side note about the System Skirts, a lot of people avoid them, and someone commented recently on my Flickr stream about how I managed to make it look 'normal' on my avatar. This is a trick I was not aware of till my sister Anessa started modelling, and told be about a "skirt shape". If your shape is Mod, simply throw on a system skirt, and reduce the size of your bum a bit till it looks as if it were the same size as without the system skirt. Viola! Embrace the System Skirt, it is your friend!
