Hawt Denim
By Jaydei Benmergui | March 15, 2007
Jeans…nothing hugs and flatters a great pair of legs quite like jeans do. (Except leather, but when the day is done, I like to take my pants off and not take my skin off with them.) Dress them up to go dancing or out to dinner, or toss on a cruddy t-shirt and lounge around the house playing World of Warcraft all day (if you even wear clothes for that >.> <.<) Here are two newer pairs of jeans that I have fallen in love with:
- The “Perfect Sister” Jeans -
Ladies, this is what you’ve been waiting for. These are the jeans that all other jeans look at and despair. Launa Fauna of LF Fashions does a brilliant job of telling the pants template “bite me!” and using prim cuffs to add length and realism to a set of jeans that is quite well done as is.
Because I was bored, while kicking back in these a few days ago I zoomed in on the prims to see how well they matched up. And gawked when I noticed that the detail was a nearly perfect match to the pants, right down to the seams. Whatever Launa did to make the tones match so well (after hardware lighting caused a lot of prims attached to clothing to light up and look a bit silly), I want to see more of…it’s fantastic.
In each set (and there are nine different color sets) she provides the basic pants layer, an underwear layer to use with boots or with the prim legs, and of course, the lovely prim legs, in a long and short version.
And men? She didn’t leave you out, hooray! Check out her Apollo Jeans, right above the display for the girls.
You can buy “Strict Jeans” at LF Fashions.

- The “Sister you stay up at night worried about” Jeans
These jeans are the pants that the family calls “a bit *too* popular” in hushed tones, whilst sighing in frustration. But oh,
they are way too cute to keep hidden!
Liquid Velvet Studios has long been one of my favorite places to browse…Ravenlynn Templar seems to have this unlimited well of creativity that she pulls her work from. She has another store called NekoTails, which caters to the cute, whimsical side in all of us.
Her new creation for that store, “Peeka Kitty Criss Cross Jeans”, is definitely all of that, with a humongous splash of sexy. Silver studs adorn the pants alongside criss-crossed slashes, slashes which are meant to show off your…assets. (And for you shyer girlies, there is a version with no slashes in the back.)
These naughty little vixens can be bought at NekoTails.
And by the way, the tops in both of these pictures are part of the ladies’ shirt/tank collection at [Renegade].

Update [CT]: It was uncanny — when I met Jaydei in world last night, we just happened to be wearing the exact same pair of these jeans. I’m super impressed with these as well — and that was just when I thought I needed another pair of denims in SL like I needed a third arm.
Launa says there’s probably more denim on the way too — which I definitely will be keeping an eye out for. These are as impressive technically, construction-wise as they look. As for the picture to the left, I just had to giggle a little since Jaydei’s top and this one are both by Renegade. Plus, more on the new Silver skin by Portia Sin seen here in a forthcoming post.

Moire - the hair’s by Kin Keiko…I *think* it’s called Tomi, but I’m not in-world right now, so I can’t verify that. I love it…the textures look soo silky soft.
