Fancy Feet

True to form, I spent all afternoon deciding which of the Stiletto Moody styles I wanted to buy - it's so hard to decide!

I had seen a picture of the "Katherine" in Midnight and even though there are so many other beautiful shoes, I ended up going with my first choice.  After all that!   And practical as I am, even at 70% off (see my previous post regarding the sale)  I had to get them in black so they would match more outfits!  *giggles*

Here they are!  I also purchased the add-on with the tattoos, charm bracelets and polish colors which was also 70% off.  Even with the discount, these are without a doubt the most expensive shoes I own.  Proudly.  *smiles*

Stiletto Moody Bare "Katherine" in Black.  (Still trying to get my skin matched perfectly!)
One thing I love about spending some extra coin is the extra-good service you get for it!  (Most of the time.)  At Stiletto Moody you can have items "redelivered" if you've purchased them before and have lost them for whatever reason.  This was not only a nice benefit but almost became a life-saver when I returned home to unpack and realized a good chunk of my inventory was gone! Panic ensued.  After several relogs, a couple of restarts and a little bit of googling I tried clearing my group cache and thank Buddha - my stuff returned!  Whew!

Each shoe also comes with a notecard that explains how to best wear your new shoes.  They come in 3 sizes and you can resize the ankles and change the skintone to match your own.  Awesome!  They have some really decent default shades but the best part is that you can tweak them to match the exact color of your own skin!

There is something called an "RGB" and it's a number (ie...123-456-789) that is designated to a particular shade (pardon my amateur lingo!).  I was a little frustrated that 99% of the information on secondlife.com pertains to the old viewers and the ability to find your RGB seems to have disappeared with Viewer 2.0.  You used to be able to find this "show color under cursor" thingy but that seems to have gone away.

But you can still do it!  Here's a tip - take a picture and use a personal program to get the color.  If you're not sure exactly how to do that with what you've got, I found a sweet little FREE download that serves the purpose perfectly.  Download http://www.linxexplorer.com/colorpicker.html and get your personal RGB so you can match your feet to your legs.  What a concept!  *laughs*

I probably won't be wearing these a lot but they are great party shoes!  And on that note, I'm heading out for a night on the town - I feel like dancing! 

Blessings,

Moirae
