New at Last Call
By Celebrity Trollop | February 21, 2007
I’m not usually one to moon over a house. A dress — definitely. Shoes? Certainly, there will be plenty of admiration. It takes a pretty special house to make me swoon rhapsodically. So — it must be true, given my swoon :D — Charlotte Bartlett’s new house is probably the most completely fabulous house in Second Life. It’s a custom build by Scope Cleaver with furniture and interior work by the equally talented Max Milosz. One of my very favorite features of the house is the interior atrium — which consists of glass panels inclosing what must be at least a 20 meter cube of space filled with the most delightful pond, with lots of bamboo, the occasional lilypad and flowers. The house is spectacular in the daylight, but it’s most impressive at night time.
I felt like I should shoot photos of outfits worthy of the house — and Ginny Talamasca’s new releases at Last Call proved to be the perfect starting point for my photo tour around the house. (You may have noticed that my post from yesterday about Fifth Avenue also has a wide angle background of the interior of the Bartlett house.) The new releases consisted of five new outfits — and I’ve pictured two of them here: the Supermodel gown (shown in platinum on the right, inside the aforementioned atrium) and glamorous Kerry outfit (shown left, pictured just behind the central hearth of the home.) As usual, Ginny delivers top notch texturing and beautiful Lightwave enhanced color depth and shadowing. I was especially impressed with the corset inspired bodice on the Supermodel gown which softens so dramatically at the waist line. Kerry is also a bit of a paradox — it has just the tiniest hint of transparency in the flare prims and that added a lot of intrigue to the overall look. It’s casual, but gauzy too — as if the avatar wearing it can’t quite decide if she wants to cover up or show off.
Something else that has really been fun about Last Call outfits is that Ginny’s been including more “comes-with” accessories in each outfit combination. Just as an example, Kerry comes with the strand of beads the cameo and it comes with a pair of fashion forward sunglasses — in short everything you need (aside from shoes) to look totally put together. The Heiress outfit (blogged here by Willow, and much loved by me too) comes with a lot of prim accessories: wrist cuffs, prim ties on the pants and another fabulous set of sunglasses.

oooh yeah.. i love that house and everything in it. i might be a little baised, seing as i share a bed with the interiour creator (rawr!), but i think everyone will agree that the place is spectacular. i went there for the opening party and even tho i got caught in the land of lag, i was in awe of how awesome the place turned out.
