Be hip not hep

Anorak wears Rani, a fresh-faced new look from Lilo Glom of JesyLilo. Rani features three makeups, each of which boasts a red lip. I added the pale-pink lip tattoo included in the pack because it worked better with The Secret Store’s mini-dress and Lelutka’s Bouffant hairdo. Damn I love this combo of black and blue fade.

Don’t powder puff (NSFW)

I reconnected with an old virtual flame, someone I thought I’d never speak to again, and we’ve been tearing through my erotic fantasies. (Which these pictures don’t even come close to capturing.) He’s afk this week, just when I’ve gone all chastity-belt-curious. I figured Portia could feel things out for me, but I made a disastrous purchase from Repressed Designs of an inexplicably enormous belt that can’t be reduced, even though it’s labeled modifiable. Determined to scratch my itch until it turned bright red, I kitted Portia out with some of MetaTheodora’s cyber bits, which make nice substitutes for the belt and for clamps. Although they are not made for Lolas, the nips bits fit the falsies just fine if you tweak them. (The bits, not the tits.)
Portia shows off her new riding crop in a dollarbie pose from Rack. If you like erotic imagery but aren’t one of creator Kirsty O’Herlihy’s Flickr fans, mistress is never going to spank you again.

Nobody’s wife (nsfw)

My friend Sian Pearl had the nerve to name her devastatingly strict new collar after Portia. I knew that Sian would not be satisfied with a shot of Portia on her way to the opera in a floor-length mink topped with the collar. Even if the mink was dip dye. Not surprisingly, the collar recalled me to my kinky side (which I was keeping in a box with my crooked smile). Back when I was having SLex, I discovered that it was impossible to RP with a fashionable woman. When the man who had set up my first ménage à trois suddenly went AFK, my newbie imagination floundered. There I was in bed with a hot goth hermaphrodite (too many choices…), and all I could think about was her astounding pair of pointy patent-leather booties. Killed the mood, but found out about Bax.

The Portia collar is available in dark and light versions. It’s rigged mesh, but it’s also modifiable if you rez one on the ground: you can resize and tint it to your dom(me)’s content. The pack contains a version compatible with RLV and other scripts. I still don’t know what RLV stands for. Must be something technical, like rather large vag. [This pic looks lousy small. Please blow it up.]

Gotta love a chimney

May your days be merry and bright. And may all your holidays be hella tight. If Portia is looking a little too sexy this Christmas eve, it’s because she finally made it onto Santa’s third list. There’s one for good boys and girls, there’s one for bad boys and girls, and there’s one for very naughty adults. Portia’s just heard the sleigh land on the roof. She can’t wait for Santa to slide down her chimney.

The Gallery Gift Shop has started its new rotation, and this hot cocktail dress by 22769 is available in red, black, beige and mustard yellow. Recently, I mistakenly reported that Dutch Touch closed on December 13th. In fact, it’s open till the 31st, so I am hoping to show off a few of Iki Ikarus’ skins. She’s always been my favourite creator of darker skins. This one is Amber v2. If you like a more innocent look, check out Jaliah.

Cushioned for the corners

Tonight I was in the mood to see what kind of mischief I could get up to with a pair of breasts, two models and a couple of pose boxes. Anorak shows off in new hair from LeLutka and new boots from h.m.a.e.m. Jasmine is based on Princess Jasmine, who is some kind of royal chick from a kid’s movie. The hair, which can be worn with or without the long pony-tail, comes with two necklaces and the metal-and-gem-changing earrings you see here. Luxo, the over-the-knee zebra-stripe boots from Riri Ninni, get their appeal from the deliciously perverse contrast between no heel and lots of leg. Anorak also wears a Dressing Room Fusion skin from Al Vulo. It comes with an applier for Lolas Tango falsies. I’m starting to realize why appliers that match an av’s skin are such wonderful time-saving devices. I’m also starting to realize that creators who charge 100L for the applier in addition to 200L for the dress make big bübage a very expensive proposition.

The high cost of bigbübs inspires me to urge you once more to check out the Hunt for Your Inner Slut hunt, which ends on December 15. Not all of the items have been updated to fit Tango, but this little number from Rack City is good to go. Portia, on the other hand, is good for nothing but sleep.

The power of no

Some violence against women and girls is overt, immediate and terrifying. Unfortunately, much of it is covert and pernicious. For instance, I have a friend who once accepted a ride home from a man she found creepy because she didn’t want to offend him. And she didn’t want to take the subway alone at night. In the event, nothing happened. Not until I jumped up and down and flapped my arms and said “No. No. No. Say no. Sometimes you must say no.” Violence against women proliferates because we live in patriarchal cultures. Here in North America, my friend can’t say no because she is reminded a dozen times a day that pleasing men is the key to her welfare. It’s a very good idea to demand that governments around the world make and enforce laws that protect women and girls from violence. But we also need to raise awareness about the root of the problem, which is male domination of women. To put it in the worst possible terms: we don’t signify unless we are prey. If we recognize this, each one of us can combat the oppression that legitimates violence, and threats of violence, in all its forms. We don’t need to depend only on the government and the police for safety. We can also depend on each other. And we can harness the power of NO.

How hypnotic

This was supposed to be my literally black Friday post. But I spent so much time at inworld sales that I ended up feeling disgusted and desperate. It was so bad that I paid $4.99 to watch The Campaign on TV. /me hangs head in shame Somewhat recovered today, I am offering you a look that combines the new, the free and the bubblicious. Portia wears Ella, a fab new retro ‘do from LeLutka, and the stunning new gold-digger lashes from Lucky #7. These are available as part of the new round at The Gallery Gift Shop.

Portia’s corset, pasties and necklace are part of Avarice, The Plastik’s gift for the Seven Sins Hunt sponsored by Hard Alley. The hunt gift for The Dirty Turkey Hunt is a red version of the same outfit. The post-Thanksgiving sale at The Plastik is still on. All items in the main lantern are half price, with fatpacks either 500L or 1,000L. I got a huge fatpack of mesh corsets for 500L. There are also some special 99L skins and eyes for men and ladies. You may even be able to win this skin from the Halloween gifters, which are still in place!

Tiger by the tail

I faint at the sight of orange and purple combined with black. This makes me feel not festive. So every Halloween, I have to wrestle my eye into (temporary) submission to the combo of black with either orange or purple. Today I’m featuring free or cheap orange items from The Plastik and Ho Wear. Portia’s Dusk Heels are a cheap gacha item from the Depraved Nation gacha festival. (There are many other colours and patterns to win.) Portia’s corset is a gorgeous shiny version of Aikea Rieko’s Cataclysm corset. It’s part of a dollarbie (or was it the gift?) available at The Plastik booth at Depraved Nation. You should also visit the main store and join the group to hit up the gift giver and apple bobber. Many prizes are candy, but some are Halluwin items from seasons past. Portia’s hat is part of a free Mystic of Dread avatar from Ho Wear. There are actually four free outfits available at HeidiHo Huet’s Halloween shop. If you can’t handle an orange gown with purple accents, you can buy the ensemble in other colours.

Madding crowd not included

I shot the fashion pose, which showed off the clothes and accessories. Meh. I shot the action pose, which made it look as though Portia was dancing. Meh, but on my Flickr page. And then I noticed that my av—who stood unposed and AO-less, swaying slightly, with her little fists balled on her hips—looked for all the world like a weirdly tall version of the young Julie Christie. What could be better than that?
