X2, makers of the popular Hyper-Fusion line of skins, has opened a new store and if you have even a hint of Goth Grrl in you then walk, no, run, no, teleport there now! X2 and the new store, Gothica, are both on Exotica Island (120, 131, 24).
Lead designer Storma Amarula explains that with Gothica they are trying to make goth stuff a little less severe and a little more mainstream. The store includes skins and clothes for men and women, and this stuff rocks. The clothes and skins truly do range from items that could be worn in most settings to extreme goth, and the selection is mind boggling.
There are five new X2 skin lines at Gothica, and they are gorgeous. They range from Light, which is a very pale but striking skin that could be worn as an every day, to Undead, which is tastefully off-white as a vampire or well kempt zombie should be. In between their new skins are called Bone, Alabaster, and Pale. I’m a fan of X2 make-up and they didn’t let me down with the new line.
All of the pictures to the left feature either the Light Collection or Undead Collection. In each collection are eight different make-up sets, like Darkliner, Dark Eyes, Tribal, Runny, and so on, with five different looks in each of the make-up sets. (So yes, for each of the five lines there are 40 different make-up combos!) There are way too many gorgeous skins here for me to be anything but overwhelmed, but the Runny and Darkliner make-ups are my early favorites. Individual skins are L$ 1400 or you can buy a set of five for L$ 4000.
X2 clothing is less well known than their skins, but that may be about to change with Gothica. When you enter the room for women’s fashion, the first thing you see are latex catsuits in Black, Red, Pink, Bright Blue, Purple and three shades of clear (L$ 800). Each catsuit can be worn several ways, and there are different tops you can buy to expand your choices further. I didn’t provide you with a picture because Celebrity already filled our latex quota for the week, but I did have a lot of fun going through the combinations of outfits available. The latex shines beautifully and features the attention to detail you expect from a high-end designer.
I mentioned the catsuits first because they dominate the room, but don’t be fooled, my favorite piece of Gothica clothing is just beyond them, the X2 Dress Shirt. The dress shirt comes in three colors, black, purple or red, and comes in two textures. Each box comes with three versions of the shirt, buttoned, open and almost opened. In the picture I’m wearing the textured shirt (L$ 400) with the striped black lace pants on the left (L$ 250) and the shiny zippered pants on the right (L$ 250). These same pants, and several other similarly funky ones come in black or muted red and come as latex, striped or shiny in both colors.
From the cute tops (see the picture at the top) to the corsets and low-rise latex with detailed prim buckles (below), you will find the outfit that tickles your dark side at Gothica.
