Designers United 5 has arrived and with it, a veritable plethora of goodies for the beloved odd person in your life. Why? Well, the theme is 'Surrealism' and below you'll find just a taste of the breathtaking clothing, decor, accessories, and hair you'll find there. There's a distinction between 'surrealism' and 'freaky' and it was delightful to discover that this event is about surrealism.
From !Ohmai: Nezumi (mouse), Usagi (rabbit), Neko (cat) ice creams! Now as far as ice cream is concerned, you wouldn't usually think 'hey I want a cat/mouse/rabbit in it', but Ohmai makes it work. In each pack there are 5 versions included: a food version, pet version (head), pet version (hold), and finally an ice cream you can rez and click or an ice cream you can wear and click to make the cat/mouse/rabbit pop out. It's really quite cute!
From Nuwiggles you have this awesome 'Trapeze Telephone Pole Pose Prop' which, as I'm sure you guessed, is exactly as advertised. Six poses, and in case you're still waffling despite it being a Nuwiggles product: it is stunning aesthetically as well as being a fabulous photography prop.
Now here we have two Beetlebones contributions that are both such kooky accessories that you do not want to overlook. The first is a class pipe that blows bubbles (what else is bubblecco for?!) and the second is 'Koi Bag' in four styles. Let me add: the koi tails wiggle. THEY WIGGLE.
From Maitreya we have 'Hera' and I've got to say I might have a new favorite 'dress up' outfit in SL because of this. In my mind: who WOULDN'T want to look like a walking piece of Dali art?
This is BBQQ's contribution and while you might be thinking "...gramophones? Really? Why?", you should just listen to them. Each one plays four retro chinese songs, and if added to any build or home, will only enhance the beauty of the build with its own curious soundtrack.
From INK we have three hair styles: (from top to bottom) 'Surrealism' 'Moses' and 'Worldview'. I went ahead and grabbed 'Surrealism' because it is difficult to find a well made 'windswept' hair and this one might be the windiest.
Secret Store released this 'E-Motion' dress, and it is animated. Let me repeat that really quick: it is animated. While wearing this, the sky texture will roll across your dress.
Duboo added these two 'helmets' (though don't let that description fool you, both versions come with the glass or without the glass). 'Space Wanderer' and 'Sea Wanderer'. They are not animated, but don't let that deter you. They both make excellent photo props (or accessories if you're like me).
There is plenty more to see and find, and still more that needs to be taken home. The event runs from September 15th to October 4th 2013.
