Second Style Magazine

 I have met Kim food on occasions when I was hanging out with some Canadian friends at the SL Tim Hortons. Goth girl, quiet, sweet. A builder. Since I never go to Timmie’s anymore (probably it doesn’t even exsist any longer), I lost track of some of the people I met there. Until last night, when Kim dropped me a folder with some really lovely goth jewelry pieces (The Coeur Noir set). So totally not my day-to-day style, but so well made that I had to hop over to her newly opened shop and picked up some more things to share with you.

So without further ado, take a look at some of the detailed full prim pretties that Kim has been making

Coeur Noir is a set that is made of 4 pieces, all of which are available as separates too. This is the earring, which for me is the best piece of the set, further there is a necklace, a bracelet and an anklet, all executed with great eye for detail. I had to smile at the little label on the earring and the necklace… It really makes this set the signature set for Kim. All her jewelry is scripted for resizing, so whereas it might appear non mod… if you click the pieces you can adjust the size to your avie.

The reversed Gothic Cross is very intricate. The microprims have al been aligned by hand, not using a loop rez or other script to make the chain. When I talked to Kim earlier she told me she has been putting in a lot of time and effort to make her textures, and with success, there are a lot of unique details in her work. I’m always amazed to what people are capable of with the tiny prims. After almost 2 years in SL, I am still a total building retard.

Maybe my personal favourites are the reversed cross earrings. I admit, probably because they are less goth  in the look and feel than Kim’s other work. I really zoomed in on these for you to see the lovely textures on the gems and the meticulous build of these pendants. Usually I just like to show you stuff and then leave it up to you whether you go see for yourself or not.. but in this case, I am really so pleasantly surprised, that I can only say.. please… go take a look for yourself and do the ctrl-0 thing, because these photos just don’t do justice to the real pieces.

I’m not really into gothic, as you will probably have noticed by now, so I don’t really know the places where to shop for quality goth content. If you do.. please leave a comment, as Kim is looking for a new place to set up shop that fits her brand and has some decent traffic. Your tips might help her to find something good and affordable.
