Avoiding Gangrene.

One could say that I very rarely post to my SL blog, unless I have something to obsess over that makes my avatar look a certain way.  Hair, skin, clothes.  You name it,  if it goes on my body I have kvetched and ranted about it.

But you know something? I'm done caring about the substance of my content here.  it just so happens that one of the things I love about Second Life is customizing my avatar, and building a very unique avatar that expresses my inner geekness.

It seems that once I get something right, it stays put.  After all that hair I purchased, I wear the same hair just about every day, and I hate it when I take it off.  Inspite of skin tinting issues in different lighting and on different computers, I have dearly loved my prim feet.  But cold weather comes...  and I must consider wearing shoes again. sure, my leopard skin maenad cloack, will bea easy enough, as will be lengthening my chitons,

So being the tool that I am,  I have been researching online just what the greeks, who prefered not to wear shoes at all, would wear during the winter, and it turns out it is just a fur lined sandal really (snow not being much of an issue for them)  But oh...  if only I could reproduce some of these shoes.





I'm in love with both pairs! so naturally to the marketplace I went with my keywords, expecting nothing,  but imagine my surprise when I found this!



Toes and everything!  (as the only toed being in my family,  I have come to really love prim toes.  And I can have these sandals for the low, low price of L$3999



*sigh*


Alas,  I already have something very similar to this:



But


In my inventory from Caverna Obscura.  They were pretty much my staple before I got the prim feet,  but oh, how I shall miss toes.   But my old leather sandals are copy/mod, so maybe if I find some bargain toes...


Speaking of prim body parts, I have decided to "make" my own prim infant.  I found a full perm kit on xstreet for less than most scripted baby.  And since I don't need a super scripted baby, this is a good alternative.  Like an almost real newborn, it will develop as we go.  Though I am a little intimidated by the project now that I have all the sculpt maps.


So naturally, as I work on my most narcissistic accessory. there will be something to post about again!
