State of Shock

Good Golly, Miss Molly! Canimal Zephyr has made shooooes... oh my happy little feets danced right on into these. I have to say that they are a truly remarkable first sculpted shoe for Canimal, a long time fave for fun punky clothes with amazing punches of color and hot style. The Shock Value Stilettos are a perfect extension of that Canimal style, all the color, all the fun (note the bow biting skull adorned toes), and an exciting square toed design for a nicely shaped stiletto. The shoes come equipped with a color change HUD for bow color options, a nice touch to extend the wear of the shoes. I can only say that these are a darn great shoe, and I look forward to seeing what Canimal's next surprise will be.

Shooz I Would be Caught Dead In

I recently saw the giant glossy ads in Second Style Magazine for ShOOz!, and I realized I have never actually visited Xekollo Shilova's store on addiXion, or taken a look at her newest releases. I was pleased to find these fantastic Absynth Shoes in 2 different styles.

Yeah I know, not my usual style... but seriously there is a lot going on here that makes these worth a closer look. Firstly, the basic Absynth Shoes, a soft caramel brown platform style leather loafer with hand tooled details and stitching, capped off with dried peacock blue roses and faded greenery. The shoes come with matching woolen sock and more attachments with the roses and vines, a few small tassels are thrown in for good measure.

The Goth version of the Absynth Shoes takes wearable tiny skulls to a whole other level, these charcoal colored shoes also have matching socks and are adorned with strings of tiny bones. A great element of these are the smears of blood on various spots on the shoes, they are not simply mirrored from the left to the right shoe, so they have a very authentic feel... you know, if I am ever stomping around in blood and stuff. :)

Visit ShOOz! and step into some cute dead stuffs.

Skulls and Bows

My little shoe sleuthing toes have carried me far and wide... across sims whose names I could not pronounce, and to places that I pray I never have to see again. Sometimes the great shoes are just a camera angle away. This morning on one such journey I spotted a poor ruthed girl... the orange hair helmet, the awkward stance... the shoe shape gone, but the shoes... my little heart started palpitating!

We have already covered my affection for detail, sculpties and bows, right? Well here it was an Anessa 'Grand Slam'... amazing sculpted pumps with bows... and skulls. Yah! I am assuming at this point that I am the only girl left in SL that did not know that you could click on a worn object and 'Inspect' it to find out who created it (thank-you Graci!), so I entered into a unique conversation with the wearer, who only spoke Japanese, to try and get the name of the shop where she got them. It took some work, but I eventually got a landmark. Fingers crossed I TP'd, I arrived at the Honmoku Sim and this shop named 69 (Sixty-Nine).

As the rezzing took it's sweet time, I became anxious... I needed these shoes! I was thankfully in the right place, and I grabbed up a pair of the amazing Succubus pumps in basic black. They come in some other great shades; silver, blood, dark cherry, olive, dark olive, snow and leopard for my fellow animal print fans. Here I am wearing the Dark Cherry, Black and Leopard.

I also had the pleasure of speaking with creator Kumii Yoshikawa who gave me a sneak peak at some other great shoes she is about to release, the MargueriteL Ribbons in Cream and Black. From the looks of these sweet Mary Jane pumps and the boots I saw in her shop - and some great accessories too - I can assure you that there is more to enjoy from 69 in the future.

Update!

I visited 69 again today to pick-up an additional pair of the Leopard Print Succubus shoes for a friend (the shoes are transfer!!!) and discovered that Kumii Yoshikawa had placed a special limited time only 1L item out alongside the Succubus Pumps! A Leopard Print Hat that is completely addorable! - Go get some shoes, and go get that hat! Yay!
