Abby Gothic



This is a pretty racy costume. I based it on some photos of Bianca Beauchamp, left, (official website), then took a lot of liberty with the whole latex concept. There's a lot of transparency in the shirt and skirt. The costume uses the actual skirt mesh from Second Life, but I added the transparency with textured TARGA files. The skirt is as short as I could make it and still have it look like a skirt.

This is the second costume in the Abby line, inspired by Abby on NCIS.

The costume also contains a tremendous number of prims in the attachments as well as flexi prims in the armbands. The boots are similar to the ones from Abby's fishnet, but they have more studs.

This is also the first scripted costume I designed to sell. All of the attached objects have a "Bling Script" embedded in them. If you're not familiar with Second Life, Bling Scripts make the prims sporadically emit a brief starburst, like a light source reflecting off gold or silver.

I also included an earring that has an animation override script in it. The AO override script, prevents the avatar from using the default "at rest" pose and instead cycles through five other model-stance poses.

I think this is my best designed outfit, but still it's not my favorite.

Nishi's Unlimited


One of my Second Life avatars, Aireanna Nishi, once ran a clothing store in Second Life called Nishi's Unlimited. Due to the fact I've been extremely busy in 2008, I closed Nishi's Unlimited in January. The screenshot above is from the shop I was running in Dakari Coast Estates at the time. I still get occasional messages from people that purchased clothes from me, so I may reopen the store this fall.

Check this page in September or October of 2008 if you are interested in purchasing any of these clothes. You can also usually find my avatar in the Sand Box at Ed Tech or at Abbott's Aerodrome. I love virtual skydiving.

Second Life Clothing

Ever since The Sims came out, I've been fascinated with skinning character models. So, from time-to-time, I skin clothing for avatars in Second Life. At one point I opened a clothing shop, Nishi's Unlimited, but got too busy to keep it running in the simulation.

I decided to post some advertising shots from the shop for each set of clothing I designed. Over the Fourth of July weekend, I got the urge to work on some new outfits. I plan reopen Nishi's in the fall when I'm not so busy in real life.
