For scenery!

So here comes Giorno Brando's newest release (available here). It has a very gorgeous asiatic feeling, specially if you picture it in front of a sunset!

Giorno says he's made it by mixing elements from the five-stories pagodas of Houryuuji (Nara) and Touji (Kyoto), but also from his own parts. It's a stupa, so in RL it may contains relics; for that reason in SL as well only the first floor can be visited (the front doors open).

Anywhere bath

You know you smell like rotten eggs but there is no public bath around. We have the solution for you: Carkmoon's new release, an "anywhere" bath.


It's an attachment, so you can really bathe anywhere: your avatar just takes a bathing position upon wearing it. Perfect for an AFK status, specially while you might be away in RL doing just the same thing. It is made of guenine Japanese cypress tree, and a different version is painted in gold.

P.S.: It is advisable, though optional, to undress before wearing it, except if you want to raise eyebrows like on the picture above.

Kabukimono

D15 Koba has released three kimonos. The design comes from Japan's early 17th century kabukimono.



The kabukimono were eccentric men who attracted public attention with their eye-catching clothes, peculiar hairstyle, and weird behavior. They dressed in colourful outfits, often accesorizing with women kimonos. This is the leading idea here, since the fabric relies heavily on patterns.

The collar and sleeves are made out of prims, and their size and inner kimono layer color (3 colors) can be changed through a menu triggered by a long click.

Just the perfect kimono for enjoying a fireworks festival or spending some time in the red light district!
