Harajuku Boy

(click to enlarge)

Once in a while I get a really good challenge that takes me outside my usual comfort zone. This post was inspired by Swagga's Harajuku Boy. Harajuku is a district in Japan where cosplay meets innovative streetwear. It's a great place for people to dress up and hang out with their friends. One Harajuku style that has really taken off is Decora. (It's like the Lisa Frank of fashion styles. lol) It's colorful, youthful, mismatched, and over-the-top in accessories. Basically it turns fashion into a toy, in fact, wearing some toys is a good idea too. lol And it's not just for girls, the guys are rocking this whimsical style too. The Swagga Harajuku Boy shirt, pants, and jewelry are on sale now at Sanarae. You can pick them up in either of the 3 color options for shirts and pants.  Adding a cool J-rock touch to the look is the Mateo hair by Ayashi. I used the wild colors from the Summer pack.  Animated Chainsaw by Nerox is a gacha at the Gacha Garden. From Jian is the delightful Silly Shibes gacha. This little guy will follow you and sit when you sit. He even barks every now and then.  The swagga pants come with a lower leg, but I wanted to add the legwarmers by Krankhaus. They are actually made for Avatar 2, but I was able to make them work. They come with a hud with many excellent and colorful texture options.  From NOMAD is the Tossing Barrels arcade game backpack. It's animated! Very cool. From Neverwish is an older gacha with fun shoes that work great for the Decora. Sometime in the near future, a new 2016 version of the shoes will be released. From Apple May is the bandaid gacha. You can find it at her mainstore in the guys gacha section.  From [ni.Ju] are the face sticker stars gacha, and the group gift metallic nails appliers. The group is free to join.  For the head, I used the COCO Doll Male face with Ikon eyes. Feeling like you want to try this style? Check out the video linked below for more inspiration. This picture was taken at the lovely Blur sim that recreates the sakura lined canals of Japan.

A Strange Occurrence On the Galactic Frontier, 2

STORYLINE: The alarm had been triggered by an unknown alien artifact. Oucie suited up and went outside to investigate. To his surprise, he discovered the object was a lifepod and it was not empty either. Sleeping inside, with arms crossed over it's chest, was a majestic looking pale alien. A deep blue blush stung Oucie's cheeks. He had no doubt discovered a rare treasure. He immediately took it back to the moonbase. His pet jellyfish, Twinkles, flashed angry colors at him the second he brought the pod indoors. Oucie had never seen his pet so upset before. He shrugged it off as jealousy. Afterall, for three years, Twinkles had been the only friend he had. And in all those  years, nothing this exciting had happened before. He turned his attention once more to the sleeping alien. He had so many questions. There was something about it.... Then finally he couldn't stand anymore, he begin to touch the dials on the side of the pod. Twinkles circled around him frantically flashing red over and over again. He ignored Twinkles. There had to be someway to revive the alien. 

Today I have more goodies from the Multiverse to show you. First, you guys will love these brilliant Mech Arms by Swagga. They are perfectly tailored for the TheMeshProject Male, and for the ladies there is a fit for the Maitreya mesh body.

From BluPrints is the Status Pod from the Humanity's Arc gacha. It hovers over the ground, and has a pose for laying inside. (Also a handy Space Vampire coffin! lol) The Raygun Go Go Blaster is the Rare from Kitty's Claws. The Soul Emmanuel - Cypher skin I am wearing is packed with appliers for TMP, Omega, Catwa, and Adam. The skin texture comes with brows, no brows, face tattoo and no face tattoo. The tattoo can also be applied separately if you want to wear another skin. From The Nebulae is the Domain Belt. Its a non-rigged attachment you can adjust for a good fit. From We <3 Roleplay, is the Neck Belt by Gabriel. It comes with a fit for Default and TMP. Also at WLRP are new mesh fangs by Axix!

STORYLINE: What happened next was a haze. Oucie lay helpless on the floor in a pool of his own blue toned blood. The creature had attacked him. It had strange powers. He understood now the alien was a Parasitic lifeform, and he just stupidly released it from its prison. As darkness threatened to overtake him once more, he whispered a prayer for forgiveness.  (For the next part of this continuing story from The Multiverse, head to Aarya's Dark Phantom blog.)
