Halloween 2008 - Intermission Part 3

Hopefully the cut works this time, because I've got a lot of 'highlights' to share. ^.^ Not all items are Halloween related. I've received a couple of items to review and they will be included in the round up. There are a couple of items that I bought and won that are used in almost all of the pictures so I'll mention those first. All shoes shown are from Truth and are available in the clothing department for $0. The hair -excluding where noted otherwise- is from the lucky chair at Here Comes Trouble. The style from HCT is Lavonne. You'll also find a wealth of styles available in both the male and female hair stores for $1 on up. (Truth - http://slurl.com/secondlife/Truth%20Island/224/44/751 & HCT - http://slurl.com/secondlife/Troubled%20City/228/235/25)

Behold the dress that took over 12 hours to win! Granted I sat on a roof watching other A's slowly win and listening to rants about chair ganking, but I was determined not to let this chair get the best of me! And thankfully I finally won the dress from Evie's Closet. It's so pwetty. Shown with the ebony skin from [KA Skins], eyes from Kuri Style, & HCT lucky chair hair.

This is not only a good hunt for guys & girls alike, but because of the ease of this one I'd recommend it for new residents!

Axion shoes from Jeepers Creepers


The latest release from Jeepers Creepers, the Axxion boots are in essence, some of the more versatile shoes to emerge from Eponymous Trenchmouth to date. Upon getting these shoes, I tried the blue pair on with the outfit I had on, and I was so impressed with how they matched to what I had on already, I immediately cammed them just like the shoe fiend I am, relishing in the details.

As we come to expect with every pair of JCS shoes, the texturing is first rate and in some ways these boots remind me of a laceup pair of Oslos, although the buckle and strap almost gives me allusions to the Nikes that were popular in the 1990s, but in the instance, instead of being primed for the basketball courts, these boots are made for something more like trekking thru rugged terrain.
The detail on the leather parts of these shoes is totally amazing, featuring ultra realistic creases just like a pair of boots in RL would have. I totally scratch my head at how once again Eppy can come up with such realism in his shoes, and I urge you to take a look in world to see what I mean.
I played around with the different colours seeing what pants I had in inventory to match the various shades and of course I found these pants from Shai's Southern Comfort suit to be the perfect match for the Sand coloured boots. So even though these boots are more gritty and urban, the use of suit pants showed they can be more versatile than first impressions could lead to.

The Gray coloured pair, with its two tone grey and black leather, reminds me of the Air Jordan IX, I had to play basketball as a teenager. These are one of my favorites colours but they are also available in the Black, Blue, Sand, Olive and Brown. As always I recommend the fatpack just for versatility.

Edit: I have been informed by Eponymous that these shoes can also be used by women as well as men. Just click on them to get the resize script (which I overlooked to mention as the default size fit me perfectly) and set to the smallest setting to fit your av as needed.



Another item I would like to draw attention to is the new Prince Abioye ring from Alienbear Designs. This is the first ring for men from Alienbear, and I must say it is nicely detailed and features a huge diamond perfect to let people know you have style and class.
