Vint and I finally did some shopping yesterday and this morning (at least in my timezone). From the Dress Vint project, it turned out to be a lot of fun - at least for me. It did become surprising (and I think sort of intentionally) amusing at several points. The dress was pretty easy at Paper Couture. It’s pretty nice, dark, rather short skirt with an interesting poofy collar to it. That went pretty easy. Next went the shoes.

We did try Dark Eden, but Vint appeared to get cold feet with the place in general, except for an outfit she did buy to surprise someone with in the store across the mall…. (How those pasties will ever come off I’m not sure….)

Anyway, we went to my favorite place for stilettos and bought these really nice pair of shoes. Of course, there was some arguing over the shoe color. I suggested black, as that works with just about any outfit, and of course, she wanted purple (at least it wasn’t the yellow). Which I believe was some form of negotiation tactic. Anyway, we settled on the silver pair. I was really impressed though when she had panty hose to get her legs the right. Then I said - time for hair. Which then I knew the wailing would begin - and it did.

I heard about how Dalien bought the hair “style” she’s wearing and then she tried - in vain - to colorize it to fit the outfit to fend me off. TP’ing into Calico to go shopping for hair, there was a stream of protests about how she didn’t need new hair. Then I pointed out a really nice hair style, with hair put up. Then the wailing really cranked up. Something about - “Not hair put up!” I said, don’t worry, it comes with this veil.

Back and forth it went for some time. Vint would get some demo hair that was wrong, and I’d say no. We did finally settle on some hair I like a lot and I actually have myself. Another one down. Then she mentioned that her ears don’t match. I said, you’re right - loose them. Ooohh… Lots of noise. Then resignation must have set in, as she did put on a human skin, much to my pleasure.

Vint was starting to look pretty killer now. Next stop - Miriel’s. Eyes and Jewelry. Eyes started more moaning, but now the volume was down. She got this nice pair of blue eyes and a nice set of attractive earrings.

We did make a stop at Solange to see if anything else would fit in. I might want to go back there. I think we should also stop in at Insolence for some underthings - just in case…. We both ran out of time this morning, but I’m pretty pleased with the results so far.

I am tempted to get a really nice human skin for Vint. It would be the coup de grace to get a Naughty or at least a X3 skin on her. The skin she has on now, is good, but we could do better. But skins are expensive, and if she’s not going to wear it hardly at all, who knows if it’s worth the investment. Perhaps.

Last thing we need to setup is a photo shoot for our Vint model. We will need a photographer. Maybe Looker is available….
