Yarrr, I’m bringing Sexy Back (Those other seadogs don’t know how to act)
By Jaydei Benmergui | June 12, 2007
I’m so sorry for that. Apparently not sorry enough to replace the title with something respectable, though. The reason for my silliness? Fab new releases, and a good dose of sugar. (If I start to mutter unintelligibly and drool, you’ll know the sugar has run out.)
When Patrice Fierrens, designing fool for Gracile, dropped these boots on me, my first thought was “ZOMG, pirate boots!”, although it likely wouldn’t occur to anybody but me, because I’m weird. Fashion-wise, these boots (called Marlene) are very much a classic style with a twist, showing off a simple suede fabric trimmed with chunky straps and buckles. I modeled two different looks for these, so you can see the versatility - wear with your favorite jeans to bring out the trendy girlie in you, or with a fun skirt and corset to play pirate wench. And like her other boots, these are color-change (menu-driven) with a click…not just the boot, but the straps as well. Wheeee! Wait…I mean, yarrrr! (I promise, I’ll have some other phrase to annoy you all with in short order.)

I was also lucky enough to get a copy of her new (sculptie!!) hat, named Justin after Justin Timberlake, and is dead sexy (not unlike Justin…oops, did I just say that? >.> <.<). I had hardly wore hats pre-sculpties - they were too much of a hassle to deal with unless I had to for a theme I was going for - but my opinion has completely turned around, as one prim hats make adjustments fifty thousand times simpler (you have the ability to resize a sculptie prim just like you would any normal single prim - up, down, sideways, without having to do an equal stretch across the whole piece.) The hat is sized for men so I had to resize in the back to fit my hair, and it took all of thirty seconds. Perfection.

Okay, time to stop listening to my rambles, and to go take a look for yourself! Hat and boots available at Gracile.
