Androgyny

I've always found there to be something incredibly and indefinably sexy about androgyny. From my wrong-generation obsession with David Bowie (my mother also has a crush on him...awkward!) and his yummeh blend of masculinity and feminitity to women like Shane on the L Word...It's just HAWT.
I've experimented with it in my rl, but I tend to be proportioned in a way that that sexy edgy boy/girl look defeats me. I can have my hair short, minimal makeup and boyish cut clothing, and I still look like a tavern wench.
So, because SL is awesome like that, I wanted to show you my androgyny obsession. I started with a staple from my inventory, these phenomenal jeans from T.A.R.T. I think this fatpack was one of my first purchases in world, and I still love them. High and tight, with straight seams and multiple colors, these jeans are definitely casual, but well done.
Witness the sexiness :D





I'm also kinda in love with this hair. It's boy hair, but SO WHAT?! It's mine now!




Details:
Hair: MADesigns Garrett STBL II
Pants: T.A.R.T. Straight Leg in Indigo
Tank: Atomic Simple Tank in Black
Jacket: Fishy Strawberry Minihood in Red

Getting Sprung

I have always had a passionate love affair with the Steampunk look. Cogs, gears, and gorgeous bits of corrugated metal...yummeh.
So, when I saw Coffeesmoke's highlight of the amazing new moving shoes at Grim Bros, I immediately tp'd over and made them mine.
And this...well, this is what came out of that experience.








Look at these wings!! I mean, look at them! I happened to find them the other day when exploring the Steampunk festival sim (alas, I tp'd when nothing was going on, but oh well...still fun to check out!). Each cog of the wings move independently, creating a rather fun effect.











Coggy goodness:


Outfit: League Steampunk Apocalypse
Hair: Red Queen Rage in Cacao
Shoes: Grim Bros Vapour Vanity
Wings: BlakOpal Animated Steampunk Gear Wings
