Be the glamor girl of the evening or the mobster's moll in this beautiful ensemble, built around the "Duchess Lace" dress by PixelDolls.
The skin, one of a few new ones I purchased while shopping last week, is from Belleza Skin [SLurl: Owen Lars]. It is from the "Vanessa" line in Medium skin tone, and the make-up is Cat 9. Skins at the store sell for $L700/apiece.
Also at Belleza Skin [SLurl: Owen Lars], I picked up the "Eyelash Electric" eyelashes by Ema's Secret for $L100.
The sexy, pin-curled bob is "Betty Boop" in Black from Curio [SLurl: Curio]. Color packs (3-4 colors) will run you $L200/pack. Available color packs are: Blonde Pack (Ash Blonde, Blonde, Wheat Blonde, White Blonde), Red Pack (Copper, Strawberry Blonde, Natural Red, Light Red), Brown Pack (Dark Brown, Golden Brown, Auburn, Light Brown), Black Pack (Black Brown, Black, Black Blue), Vamp Pack (Vamp Red, Vamp Pink, Vamp Purple, Vamp Blue), Fairy Pack (Fairy Pink, Fairy Purple, Fairy Blue, White), Cool Pack (Muted Green, Dark Green, Muted Blue, Dark Purple), and Warm Pack (Red, Muted Pink, Magenta, Muted Purple, Grape). You can also buy all available colors for $L900.
Once more, I am wearing a set of eyes from Poetic Colors [SLurl: Strata]; these are "Sunny Glade" in Medium. PC eyes cost $L200/pair (comes with Small, Medium, and Large eyes), with entire color sets of any type of eyes in the store for $L1,250 (8 eye sets) or $L2,500 (16 eye sets).
The entire outfit is one of a newer set of stunning dresses at PixelDolls [SLurl: Port Seraphine]. The particular one is the "Duchess Lace Dress" in Antique, worn with the long skirt (each comes with a short and long skirt attachment), and costs $L150.
The shoes, I call them "frankentoes", because only the toes are franken-footed (see here) are "Bonneplaid Toe Heels" by Curious Kitties [SLurl: Curious Kitties], which sell for $L250/pair. Each comes with an attachable HUD that allows you to change the skin and toenail colors as required.
The earrings and necklace came together as part of the "Nighttime Gems" set in Black from Shiny Things [SLurl: Shiny Falls]. The jewelry is scripted with 11 different gemstones, so that you can very much tailor your look. The versatility makes the set, at $L600, quite a steal as it will match just about any outfit.
The sleek, golden-accented cigarette holder is one I have had for awhile, and comes from my preferred smoker's store, Foxy's Smoke Shop [SLurl: Manhattan Beach]. When I first came into SL, I had quit smoking in rl (something I need to do yet again) and so I indulged by constantly virtually smoking every chance I got. Foxy's became my go-to place for all the latest and greatest in virtual smoking accessories, including a very highly-customizable smoker's HUD that let you control everything from how you puffed, to the consistency of smoke, and the length of inhales and exhales. The store also sells a wide variety of smokes and smokers, lighters, ashtrays, and even separate attachment smoke-exhalers for nekos and furrys. If you are at all interested in being a virtual smoker, I cannot recommend Foxy's highly enough as the place to shop for all of your smoking needs. Here, I am using the "Alyssa Gold Bitchstick", the Enhanced version, which will run you $L225. The Switching version, which allows the cigarette to appear/disappear apporpriately from your hand/mouth as you smoke, costs only a little more at $L290. All of Foxy's smokes can be used with the aforementioned smoker's HUD.
