Outfit Outlay: The Eyes Have It

While Linden Lab has provided a number of avatar customization choices, among them is not eye colour. Every standard avatar has the same dull brown eyes.

Fortunately, a number of talented Sansar creators have come forward to address this issue. Both Debi Baskerville and SIN have a number of eye colours as avatar attachments (click the links to see what they have to offer). There are also eyes offered by a few other people, including a free pair of black eyes by JackTheRipper for free!

Eyes on the Sansar Store 23 Oct 2017

One of the current limitations of Sansar is that you can only have one attachment at each avatar attachment point (unlike Second Life, where you can attach multiple items to each point). This means that, until today, I could not wear these beautiful eyes at the same time as my glasses, because both items attach to the eye attachment point.

But today Debi Baskerville messaged me to tell me that she had created a set of blue eyes that attaches to the ear attachment point on the Sansar avatar, so that I could wear both my glasses and have blue eyes! Thank you, Debi! Here’s my new look:

Debi tells me that this one pair will be available for free in the Sansar Store for a limited time only…. so grab a pair while you can! Here’s the listing.

Outfit Outlay: Necklaces!

Time for another Sansar fashion blogpost! Today Vanity Fair is going to model some of the necklaces available for sale (even some for free!) in the Sansar Store. (All pictures were taken in the Valencia experience by Theanine.)

First up is a gorgeous nature-inspired necklace with gemstone flowers and leaves by Cora, only S$50 (US$0.50 or CDN$0.62):

Outfit Outlay: Witch

Hallowe’en is coming soon, which is always a big deal in virtual worlds such as Second Life. Sansar will be no exception! (I do know that Hallowe’en is one of the favourite holidays of Jenn, the Lead Community Manager of both Second Life and Sansar.)

Linden Lab is helping to promote Hallowe’en in Sansar with not one but two big contests: one contest for top avatar attachments (including a best Hallowe’en attachement) and a second contest for scariest Hallowe’en experience.

So today we turn to the Sansar Store to pick out three items by Debi Baskerville that you can use to create a complete witch outfit. First there’s a witch’s hat complete with netting, selling for S$100 (about US$1.00 or CDN$1.23):

You can add to this a witch’s black cloak, also for sale for S$100:

And as a finishing touch, a witch’s broom (also for S$100):

So for a total outfit outlay of S$300 (about US$3.00 or CDN$3.70), you can put together a look that is ready for the trick-or-treaters on Hallowe’en! Here Vanity Fair is sporting the complete witch’s outfit at the Lord Byron Vampire Village, a suitably Hallowe’eny experience! Note that the black cloak is a static attachment, and so it doesn’t move with the avatar’s body the way that a fitmesh clothing item would in Second Life.

But Bjorn Laurin, Vice President of Product at Linden Lab, has apparently gone on record at last Friday’s product meetup that we can expect to see an avatar fashion market (complete with cloth physics!) before the end of 2017, which is exciting news! This is sooner than Bjorn’s original estimated delivery date of March 2018, as reported earlier. I’m eagerly looking forward to this development!

Outfit Outlay: Be A Rock!

I’m in a goofy mood tonight, and this just fits the bill perfectly! Silas Merlin has put his wonderfully goofy rock outfit up on the Sansar Store. For only S$100 (about US$1.00 or CDN$1.23), you too can “not be seen”!

Wearable Rock 23 Sept 2017

Shortly after Silas created this rock attachment, Linden lab foolishly restricted the size of avatar attachments to less than one meter in any dimension, so nobody else can make or sell this size of attachment anymore. I think that was a short-sighted decision and I am appealing to Linden Lab to loosen that restriction.
