Lady in red... and green.

My latest acquisition is this lovely evening gown from Pixeladict, I'd been looking for this style of dress for a while and when I saw someone wearing one while out and about on the grid I decided it was the one I wanted. After browsing the available colours at the store, I was torn between Emerald green and Ruby red. I settled on the latter, and set about building an outfit around it.

I started with the skin, I'd just got my hands on a new group gift from MyDear, the Ella skin (although visiting the store later its gone, wonder if it limited edition?) I added some red flexi-prim hair, Ruby red lips by MissMurder, Tesla 'Jane' shoes (fire) Aqua blue eyes by Xolo, and some diamond jewellery.

The prim hair was OK, but it was starting to show its age, since the vast majority of viewers these days are mesh capable, I decided it was time to take the plunge on some mesh hair.

I'd seen some nice demo's in the past from Wasabi Pills, and it didn't take me long at the store to Settle on a redhead pack in the 'Orion' range. The great thing about good mesh hair is that it flexes with your head but doesn't clip through your shoulders.

I had my new outfit and I loved it. I was thinking about going back for another colour when I got an IM from the creator, Ms Rosie Scott. You see, I'd found the store from the SL search. I'd originally looked in her profile, but the LM in her picks was (at the time) out of date, and I'd sent her an off-line IM just to give her a heads up.

 

She thanked me for letting her know, and asked me to pick a complimentary item from the store by way of thanks. How's that for customer service? Since I'd already got my eyes on the Emerald dress it didn't take me long to choose, and I soon had a new outfit to build. I decided, 'If it ain't broke, don't fix it' and simply swapped my blue eyes for green, the 'fire' shoes for 'lime' and a lighter shade of the Orion hair.


Since I got the second dress as a freebie, I think I might go back and buy yet another colour, since up until now I've neglected to mention that this dress is ONLY L$59!
