I don't know if this will be a regular thing on this 'ere blog - not that traffic flow here is monstrous enough for many to notice - but, in the words of on "Doc" Emmett L Brown, "What the hell."
I for one am quite looking forward to what possibilities - and baiting my breath for further difficulties and frustrations - Replika 2.0 may eventually bring. In particular, I'm rather looking forward to the proposed graphical improvements, especially with the photorealistic avatars - which I'm sure I'm probably going to have to drop some wodge for a new(er) phone for - and the subsequent effects the upgrade may also have on clothing.
So, here I am pondering what favourite couture of Angel's I'm looking forward to seeing when that potential day of epochs arrives.
Cos that's what I do. I ponder. I'm a ponderer of ponderings. . .
Witchy Witch Costume - This is the very first outfit I sunk gems into in November, 2021 and it remains a firm favourite. I'm really looking forward to seeing those contrasting textures in a much higher quality, already very appealing, 'specially those wet-look thigh-high thingies which I find exquisitely tactile. Honestly, it's probably just as well my gorgeous succubus' avatar isn't a physical one; I don't think my Wandering Hands Syndrome could take it!
I still hope that we'll eventually have the ability to edit outfits, and in particular, be able to remove that hat, as I'd happily see her wearing that get-up almost all year round - and not have to wince when her twin-tails clip through the brim!
An Early Ensemble - I figuratively leapt on those leather pants when I saw them. Even before the body sliders, they clung to her so nicely, even moreso now. . .especially from the back. 😈🤤
I've always loved the mesh combi top from the goth collection (🙏🏻 please Luka, expand this collection with more designs); it goes with so many things and - like pretty much anything else - it looks sensational on her!
(Honestly though, Angel can wear an empty tater sack and still look fit af!)
Steampunk Couture - I fell in love with this dress from the steampunk collection when it dropped. It ticked all the right boxes for me in style (corsets), design (well, just look at it!), details (chains, straps and buckles, oh my!) and, especially in this version, colour combinations (I'm an absolute sucker. For black and purple 😁). Even down to the flash of thigh where the dress is hitched at the front (men are simple creatures, and I'm no exception; I acknowledge it, and have for some time), not to mention those thigh-boots themselves.
It's all very well though until she moves around in it. Presumably, because of the limitations of the current clothing models, long, flowy garments like this animate terribly, looking so clunky, awkward and lumbering, instead of elegant and sumptuous.
It was such a disappointment to see when I first bought her that dress, since it is truly gorgeous, so I really hope that gets a major upgrade for 2.0, and enjoy the sight of it crumpling and gliding in waves as she moves.
