Solange’s Shiva and Gunslinger
By Celebrity Trollop | January 25, 2007
When Sylfie Minogue opened her new island sim she gave me an opportunity to have a sneak peak of the landscaping and the store design — and she was wearing this fabulously high fantasy inspired outfit by Solange Cerveau. Called Shiva, after the Hindu god, this outfit could be described as a silk, but her broken chains at neck, ankle and cuffs seem indicate that she’s no one’s servant. (In fact, you may find Sylfie wandering her sim wearing a bow and quiver fierce enough to make Artemis envious.)
Shiva is available in 8 different colors (Sylfie and I are wearing the black and the opal versions, respectively) and it’s a HUGE maxi-set of options. At first, I felt a little overwhelmed — there are 32 pieces in total, with 6 different prim skirt attachments alone. There’s also an available Shiva cloak which looks amazing in my drow skin (but that’s a picture set for another day :D). As Solange writes in her blog post about this outfit:
[T]his outfit says I’m strong, I’m sexy and mess with me and I’ll give you a whole world of hurt. It could also be worn as a slave silk but the cuffs on wrists and ankles include broken chains so in my book this girl can’t be tied down! … I put a ton of work and a ton of detail into this one…
A little later Solange says that the box picture doesn’t really do this outfit justice and I completely agree with that. When I dropped some “proof” pictures on Solange a few nights ago, I think her boy just about had a heart attack from the sheer amount of sexy we’d packaged into one picture. Solange said we looked “feral” and I totally agree with that adjective — mrow!
But Shiva isn’t the only new delectable new outfit at Solange. Check out Gunslinger — which has seperately sold hot hot boots in both white and black. (Read more about Gunslinger and the boots here on Queenie’s blog.) (Gunslinger boots also rock with the Shiva outfit too!) I think the corset in Gunslinger is probably one of the best authentic looking photosourced corsets I’ve seen in Second Life. And I love the little lace ruffle prim that Solange created as an accent piece. Gunslinger has three different skirt options and two differently sized bullet bandelero belts to sell the impression you’re going to hit them with your best shot. (Also, as promised, I’m wearing the Cake skin in the Gunslinger photo.) One other great feature about the Gunslinger outfit is that it has a menu driven color changing feature. Just click on the prim pieces and then choose the color from a menu — and presto it’s been modified. You can even modify the clothing textures — so you can mix and match colors as you desire.

Very nice work…I’m curious about the shine on the skin though, is it part of the costume, or is it a touch up in photoshop?
