What a Knock Out!

The arrival of the Stiletto Moody BARE© has really stirred up a lot of discussion in the fashion community. Talk about who was first, who is or isn't revolutionary, and as usual about value for our Lindens spent. One thing I want to clarify before I launch into my review of this particular item, is the quotation provided by the Stiletto Moody team that suggests it was the first sculpted shoe in Second Life. The official press release contains the following "...the designer who brought sculpted shoes to Second Life introduces Stiletto Moody BARE ©...", at the time I included that in my Rumor Mill post I was relaying the leaked information as I had received it. And although I feel comfortable saying that Stiletto Moody is responsible for bringing the first hyper-realistic and highly detailed sculpted footwear to SL, I do believe it was not the first footwear to use sculpted components.

And now for the details of the new release, and all things considered, I do feel it warrants the buzz it has generated. We are talking about something that is a complete foot in shoe system, now i know there is something out there that has a foot and shoe, but Stiletto Moody has as always sought to go a bit further, the elegant ankle wrapped shoe, the wisp thin sole, the highest of heels, and a perfectly manicured and beautifully shaped foot and ankle are really sensational.


Something of this magnitude can only be fully realized with the special features that allow for custom skin matching, ankle fit resizing, complete toenail polish set and toe ring options, and then the usual bells and whistles associated with the SM brand. The ones shown here are the BARE Greta one of three new styles, and I found it fairly easy to match my skin tone (note these were done in a bit of a hurry, I could easily have fiddled more), and was positively blown away by the elegant look of the foot and wrapped ankle straps, the subtle shadows across the toes where the strap sits. I noticed very few glitches with the joining of the avatar body with the ankle/foot, particularly after I resized the ankle slightly. There is a nice range of shades here; Bad Seed Red, Black, Midnight, Silver, Gold and Taupe. An amazing bonus here is that these work extremely well with almost all of my standard and artistic modelling poses, the potential for photography is great here.

As with other SM releases, this one coincides with a 40% rebate at time of purchase sale for all previously released footwear. For more details on the 'Members Only' sale please join the Stiletto Moody group for access and information. (click images to enlarge.)

What A Slouch!

It's official, the boot loving public at large now has ample reason to curse my name for tempting them to spend even more dough this week. In the spirit of Thanksgiving, I hope that at least they can hold off on the public stoning long enough to appreciate this very worthy addition to Stiletto Moody's Fall Release, the Slouch Boot. One look at these will tell you that these are a variation on the previously released SMG2 Tall Boots, but with the look of a slouchy soft leather upper and some great Fall inspired shades, the Slouch Boots have a very special flavor all their own.

The full colour range on these is already available, and features some fantastic new shades L-R; Russet, Beige, Tan, Taupe, Black and my personal favorite the Aubergine which I am wearing . The boots come in a small and a larger 'super slouchy' version (worn), which can accommodate a bigger leg or just add a fuller boot look. A superbly detailed chunky ankle chain with signature heart charm that can be gold or silver is a great final touch, or can be removed. It seems that this will be the last of the Stiletto Moody temptations for Fall, so we can begin saving up for her next releases which should come in plenty of time for Holiday gift giving.

Shop for these at Stiletto Moody.

Python Perfection

As promised, some more releases from Stiletto Moody's SMG2 line, the sexy fun Pin-Up Pumps get a shiny new Python printed wrapper, a few spectacular variations and some exciting new colours.

The basic Pin-up Pump comes with the optional ankle chain - which can be toned in gold or silver, or removed completely. Other nice touches are a 'striped' version of shoe with authentic python colorings, and a variation that has a full black heel to contrast the amazing bright 'bad seed' red among others.

I love the grey striped version with the black heel, it would be a really versatile shoe to have... but the 'natural' brown shade that seems to have an opalescent sheen is simply amazing! I sure hope you saved up some money after the Stiletto Moody sale, you might just need to bring a few python's home!

Visit Stiletto Moody when the sim re-opens for the preview of the Patent Python Pinup Pump at approx. 3 am SLT today, vendors will be online this evening at approx. 6 pm SLT - watch for group notices!

Also wearing; Giusia Skins, Hair by Detour, ::69:: and Mirai, All clothes from Bijou, Accessories by Giusia, UM Mode and Fresh Baked Goods.

Jet Set: Sexy Shoes & Lingerie from Stiletto Moody

They have always gone together, like Sonny and Cher, Peanut butter and Jelly, Beenie and Cecil... but I digress. It's beautiful shoes and scalding hot lingerie that seem to find each other in the sexiest of pairings, and it is no accident that Stiletto Moody has released a line of stunningly sheer and daringly bare lingerie to accompany the hot hot sexiness of her footwear line. Seems like a natural combination to me.

Unless you have been hiding in a blog free zone lately you will have no doubt heard the wonderful news about the SMG2 launch and sale of previous styles that should still be going on for another day or so. It's been a crazy frenetic little beehive of activity over there on the Stiletto Moody Sim and shoppers have been waiting through delays and occasional technical issues to get their hands on the new line, and anything else that might be missing from their collections. Pure shoe bliss for many when they laid their eyes on these.

Naturally the new releases are spectacular, I wouldn't expect anything less from SM, but clearly we have a achieved a whole new type of realism here... I apologize for not giving you tons of delicious close-ups, but I wanted to tease with a glimpse of the new lingerie too. And the showroom is only a TP away, I encourage you all to go take a nice close look for yourselves, these things are really breathtaking.

The really important stuff is this portion of the official press release;

"Stiletto Moody Generation 2 (SMG2) is not just a new season, it's an evolution. Welcome to the next generation of Stiletto Moody design, with added features, & refined techniques. It’s about fashion – a hot new range of towering heels, in amazing new colors and textures our Pre-Fall ’08 line. It’s about accessories– add them or remove them to your shoes.
