Ruby Red!

After a friend suggested using *hiressnap thingy to improve the quality of my pics, I used my mad Photoshop skills to put a nice combo together... it's freaking haaaaard! It took me so much time, I think I will have to go through some tutorials before I can redo all the previous picture compilations I've posted. Hope you enjoy it :)

Links to my avatar, head and eyebrows have already been posted here.

Skin

This is Muddy by Lollirot, who is a well-established IMVU creator. Her shop is full of high-quality stuff: skins, clothes, eyes, accessories, you name it. Her products are suitable for all who enjoy dark, goth looks with a PVC twist. As for the skin used here, I absolutely adore the cat-eye make-up and kissable lips: ) Really great purchase, I tell ya'll.

Eyes

I usually prefer to use more natural-looking eyes but these Wrath eyes from Lunacy's 7 Deadly Sins series caught my attention. To be brutally honest, eyes from the mentioned series are the only products worth checking out - the rest of the (really poorly stocked) shop contains pretty n00bish creations. Even the eyes themselves won't make you gasp in amazement... but they'll do. They give my avi this ruby dreamy look I was going after.

Figured I'll mention the ruby eye bling here, and not in the accessory section. Just a lil something made by HarleyViolet to sparkle up the eye area. Let's move along...

Lashes

Diamond lashes by AlexisHours used to be my favourites until I found out that AnnaSassin also deals in lashes and got myself these gorgeous Gothic Tops :) AH's product is still exceptional and really worth having... especially since they look great on my custom head + avatar combo that makes everything else look retarded :P Seriously, only a few products don't mess up my avi's face...

Hairstyle

I got this Dark Demon Rejoice hair for a totally different outfit a looong time ago. It was made by MagearaBlack but I'm not particularly familiar with this creator. From what I gather, she's created more demon-related items but since it's not really mah thang, I don't know how to comment on them. Can't even be bothered to check 'em out properly, sorry...but I do like the hair, though it could have a lighter texture. It makes me think of PH's Beyonce hair I mentioned in this post.

Top

McShifan is an outstanding mesher, really... I only just noticed it now, but many amazing outfits were made basing on his meshes. He's also the creator of the sexy Lady in Red dress presented here - you just gotta love that ornamental piece! Such a shame this is one of the very few decent products made on the same mesh... such a shame.

Shoes

I've already mentioned these Red Pumps in my Jessica Rabbit post... I'm fairly sure I bought these Synner shoes especially for my Ruby Red outfit. They match the dress perfectly and are uber-sexy :)

Accessories

The Ruby Red outfit was supposed to be sensual but also a bit vampy - hence I decided on Janetted's unnaturally long and shiny red nails. Gorgeous, aren't they? However, they made me wonder how the hell one would manage to wipe properly with such talons...

Anywho... as for the jewellery, it's a mix-and-match of products made by Abathyr, JDMGeek and BurntDoll respectively. Both the cuff and garter come from Ruby & Diamond collection - not particularly breathtaking, but fine nonetheless. I have no idea why I didn't buy matching earrings (here)... instead  I got these Ruby Bangle Earrings, which I assume were the best I could do at that time. Even though they're more expensive than the Abathyr's, their quality isn't better. I dunno what possessed me, really... Don't get me wrong, they're nice but not really stunning. Lastly, the cute Red Rose Ring that wasn't really meant for this outfit (but since it was red, I decided to throw it in). I realise all those bits and pieces of bling bling do not match, but I don't care, lol :P

As a side note (mostly to myself) - Abathyr has some awesome furniture in her catty
