OMG, Pinstripes and Review: New Sirena Hair

So I did find something fun today before work - hot pinstripe pants for a really nice price!

Theses are the pinstripes. They've got matching zippered pockets on the rear, and they were only slightly modified to fit properly inside the boots. They were from a small wall vendor in the Pulse shopping mall. Its sort of out and to the right of Sn@tch, the company is called
True La La, and it doesn't look like there is a main store or anything.

I also picked up the shirt I'm wearing there, and though its kind of hard to see entirely there aren't just slashed holes. There's a bit of white over the holes, that cuts away kinda like its been frayed or is fraying apart. The back is a racer back style, with the same kinds of slashes going up and down it as the front. The frayed parts of it are more noticeable on my back due to the dark tattoos down my spine, which is right in the center of the shirt.

The shirt was 50 L$ and came with a pair of gloves I'm not wearing while the pants were 75 L$. The belt is part of the pants, painted on and not prim so no tail conflicts, which make me a happy kitsune. The whole area seemed a bit geared towards Neko so that's probably why it doesn't conflict.

Now the hair is from Sirena, and its called Felina. Its got some fairly fresh ideas as far as its construction goes. Its scripted for colour changing, so you can make it different every time you wear it, with 66 colour options. It also is two separate parts - there is the main hair, which I chose to wear with blonde tips, and then additional fly away bits that I chose to use black tips for. The various colour combinations between the two along with two different set ups for the fly aways allows for a great range of versatility in style each time you wear it.

The boots are still the same ones from
::69::, and no, I've not made the charms for them yet because I'm very indecisive about what should go into them. I actually was pretty torn between using the boots or using the sound effect Gladiator heels I got at Shoefly the other night - I think either one would work with the outfit.

Behind me in both images is the sign for
Nocturne, a nightly Gothic/Industrial dance club. There are several DJs and a regular compliment of dancers as well as several regular club goers that frequent the establishment. I've considered being a dancer there a few times, however up until recently my work schedule really conflicted with most of their nights. Now that it doesn't, I may re-apply for it.

While I was at Sirena's, I looked at the new hair that was announced via Fashion Consolidated today. Its called Faith and its another scripted hair style that is an updo that drops down into a long style with the click of a stylish comb in the back of it. There are a lot of good pictures aside from this promotional picture available at Natalia Zelmanov's blog. It seems Natalia's getting into scripted hair a lot lately as her last few releases have had scripted colour change items or hair itself, or an updo scripted into a long style like Faith here is. Not that I don't love the idea of scripted hair, I just haven't seen it done quite as often by the many hair designers I've frequented.

Natalia's blog is more than just fashion release notices, though. She does a lot of travelling in SL and always writes up something about each location she visits. For a lot of them, she'll make new outfits specifically for the trip or the trip will be the setting for some sort of tutorial or photo shoot. Just don't be surprised when there's more than just
Sirena to her blog!

A short, fairly quiet night all and all, but I'm grateful for that as I'm still not feeling too well.
