Site News, Nocturnal Threads, and Mischief by RPD

Well I've lined up contacts with a few more places to review some of their designs. One of which I'll cover in this post (Nocturnal Threads), though I'm also talking with Canimal. This pretty kitty can't afford to buy out stores on her dancers budget! Well I could if you all come and tip me everyday, but I don't expect that! I also had the club owner at Castle Hornet take a few of us dancing girls out shopping and we ended up in Mischief (a Rising Phoenix Designs line). Where he gave us some $L and let us play... It was awfully nice of him. ^_^

Now for the clothes (Lingerie first!):

First up is (fill in the name here, yes, yes, I forgot it!) from Mischief. This design is hot... It's semi-sheer so it looks like your showing off all your assets, but you don't... I love that the top isn't just some sort of bra, but a wrap around section of fabric ala a tube top with nice red lace trim. The panties are more traditional in design, if not look, and duplicates the top for it's detailing and fabric. This also comes with the stockings to complete the look, though they aren't semi-sheer like the top and panties are. They do however have the same detailing.


Next up is (yep, forgot again!) from Mischief. This is awfully sexy with what looks like black velvet and with red and black lace. The top is a corset design which uses a jacket layer to add the lace corset fishnet part, so this can be converted to just a velvet bra look. The panties of course match the top and the red and black work deliciously together. Now this design has sheer black stockings with a red and black lace band along the top. In fact I was tempted to use those with the first outfit, but it didn't quite look right...


The last lingerie piece is this attractive number called (of course I forgot!). It's made of leather done to a shine to look like PVC with cut out slits under your bust and a zipper down the middle of the top! Who can resist showing off the underside of your breasts and zippers?! It comes with matching leather panties which look like they have a zipper on the front, but when you look closely it's more of a metal design rather than an actual zipper... I was kinda disappointed in that... I mean zippers are handy... Anyways... the extra for this set is the wrist cuffs made with the same styling as the rest of the outfit. It did not come with stocking, I just decided to keep wearing the ones from the previous design because they were nice and this design didn't come with any...

Now for something a bit different we have a 'club' outfit from Mischief called "Call of the Wild". Oh and what a call it makes! I just had to toss my spots back on for this one... It has a leopard spotted fabric under-layer for the top with a 'bra' type design in black over top of it, which is just all animal sexy... It comes with leopard spotted panties to, which are hard to see as a separate item in the picture because they are meant to stick out from the low cut black pants, which has it's own sexy leopard spotted trim. My only wish is that I could have the pattern texture match my red and black neko colors... That would look incredible on me...


Now onto some Nocturnal Threads Loving! Since I wondered into the Nocturnal Threads store I've loved their stuff... But I always seem to run out of cash before I manage to buy much of anything from their store... Such is the life of a neko clotheswhore... Well Kaia was nice enough to solve this problem for me by tossing a few outfits my way! She also included a few men's outfits, so I had the owner of Castle Hornet do a bit of modeling for me! Show Louis some love for lending a hand. ^_^

First up is a sexy design called 'RAWR' if I remember correctly. I love the concept and this comes with several parts to play with. Black leather textured gloves that come down to mid forearm lead into a sweet fishnet accented top with a interesting black and white spot patterned banding making up the edges. Their is also a second top which does away with the fishnet for when you want something more revealing! This is designed as a 'one piece' that ties into the panties included with the set whether you wear the fishnet or non-fishnet tops. It also has lovely black stockings with a fabric band above the actual top of the stockings themselves, which I thought was a sexy touch! ^_^ My only issue with the outfit is the 'skirt' which looks like not much of anything... Sorry Kaia, but I just didn't like that part... Luckily their is no need with this outfit to wear any part you don't like.


Next up is a new outfit from them called Salmonelle Which is a lovely design, though much to pinkish for my usual taste. I still think it looks good on me, but a bit more red would be awesome! ^_^ Hehe I love the reds and blacks a bit to much I think... Kaia if you ever do this in red base with black let me try it on! Anyways... It's a cute pink bodice style top that links directly to a prim skirt, the bodice has black stripes leading down the front and a nice 'black star burst' effect leads into the pink on the skirt. It also comes with the pink stockings/thigh-high socks that you see in the picture. The black velvet looking jacket tops off the design with it's nice riveted buttons and pink lacing on the arms. It also includes that pink 'neck scrunchie' prim that is very sweet... If not for the jacket, and way short skirt for that time, I'd almost think I was back in the 60's or performing in 'Grease'...


Followed by this male/unisex outfit, which I felt was so sexy with all it's straps and zippers that Louis couldn't have it! ^_^ It's ok Louis I'm sure she'd love it if you bought your own! It only has two parts, a jacket and a set of pants... But you don't need more! The jacket is a sweet leather texture with all sorts of highlight pieces in the way of buckles, straps, and zippers. The pants match, though they have these nice giant ring buckles with zippers... I wish I had a real outfit that looked like this... Oh and before I forget there is also a nice collar built into the jacket that is a different texture, much like real jackets, but sometimes lacking in SL...


Now this next one is the latest from Nocturnal Threads called 'Whisper' and it includes a ton of options... First it's a wonderful dark black... Second it has skull images on the shirt and the backs of the gloves, though it's subtle in design since it's a darker grey color, so it mixes in fairly well with the dark black of the normal texture. As for pieces, it includes a jacket, a matching dress (shirt and skirt), a pair of pants, and thigh high socks/stockings. The jacket is a little black single button shrug/crop top style, perfect for showing off what your wearing under it... The gloves are nice open finger types and the pants look like a nice pleated design, though they are fairly plain. The dress though is sweet and can easily be worn with nothing else from this set. Besides the skull emblem top the skirt is a sort of black and grey plaid pattern that is lovely...


Next up we switch to men's fashions with Louis Modeling for us! He was mildly unwilling even for free clothing, so the pictures look a tad dark... This is the 'Mael Rouge' which is a nice goth look for men. It includes a nicely detailed jacket (and shirt underneath) with elbow patches and lovely red button tabs. This jacket also uses the 'skirt' layer to make coat trails... It was so hard to convince Louis to wear anything with the word 'skirt' attached to it., but in the end I won and he put it on! It also includes red gloves to match the jacket. The outfit is finished off by a pair of black pants.


Finally we have the male version of 'Whsiper'. For men it's a long Tee with the skull emblem much like the women's version and a pair of long pants. It also has a pair of gloves almost identical to the female version... In fact most of what I said about the female version applies here. I just love the female version more, since I can wear it... ;)

Well I think that's it for now... Kaia feel free to give me more stuff any time! Like maybe... Summer Plum (which if I can ever find some spare $L I'm buying anyways), Black Parade, Bad Gretel, Leeloo Noir, Star Studded, DEATHrock grrl, GDC Ven Bowler, Petal, Whimsical.... Uh well just anything you feel like... ^_^

I did find a bunch more of the Pixel Dolls outfit pictures (that I thought I'd lost) and will post those soon as well in a part 3 to my mega update series... So expect those soon...

Hey! I like your blog. At first I didn't care for the pictures until I started reading. I like the way you describe the clothes... it's obvious you're passionate about them! I'll be coming back. Coolies.

Thanks for visiting my blog and I'm glad you like it!

I know my SL photography is a tad rough... I'm working on it though and I hope I am getting better... I also hope you like the newer layout (with pictures alternating sides). I think it looks better that way the way the blog renders the page at different resolutions...
