Men have their fantasy football teams. I have a make-believe burlesque troupe. And I worked damn hard to pull this group together. Although Miss Q. (above) and Portia (below) look sensational in Dilly Dolls’ Amaya—the troupe’s de facto uniform—my other models look like men in ladies’ underwear. (Loica’s shoulders resemble a linebacker’s and Anorak’s legs look like those of a tween boy.) So in order to fill all five dresses, I had to rummage around in my cache of shapes and stockpile of skins.
I didn’t appreciate the eye-rocking jewel tones and bold colour combinations of Amaya when Dilly Dolls first released the outfit.
But this week I was craving colour and the outfits inspired me to assault your eyes with this fierce hair and makeup combination! Milano in Sunset is my first Fhang Candy skin, a cheapie I bought last week at Cupcakes’ Monday Bake Sale.
Under Amaya’s lovely ballet tutu lies a pair of laced-up bike-shorts, which is much more interesting than the trad bodysuit. Cupcakes’ Bake Sale is a great event for anyone looking to pick up nice shapes for only 50L. To my eye, this Body Doubles shape is nicely proportioned, if a bit on the skinny side. Her pretty face quirks up nicely with this hand-painted skin from LH and hiply unflattering hairdo by Clawtooth.
Every good troupe needs a sexy mime, yes? (/me imagines my readers cringing.) Sileny of Mango, Mango sent her subscribers the Decked anniversary skin, which comes bundled with this lovely curvy body by Shape it Up. Unfortunately, there is no redelivery option. My mime makes a sad face. Told you she was indispensable.
Amaya is finished at the back with lacing and a simple bow. Elbow-joint pins are not included with the outfit.
What?! You’ve never seen a burlesque troupe with a misshapen, shadow-lurking, tequila-hogging apprentice fashioned out of plastic and pins from Ikea?! You’ve gotta get out of SL more.
