The Geoffrey Monocle

I've desperately got to actually get my skin to where I'm happy with it, so I actually make a male version I can stand. This is, er, rather obviously from the eye makeup, not exactly a guy skin (and the only reason the lips aren't covered in lipstick is due to a little photoshop splicing). Ok, I also have a severe weakness for guys in makeup, I admit, but I'm not sure I really need all my ads to feature drag queens, so eventually I'll get around to something.



(Freebie tuxedo from, er, somewhere. Phat Cat? Caledon Steamcity backdrop.)

The Geoffrey Monocle is a somewhat decorative monocle with odd little fiddly accents for those who want something with a touch more character than a more simple one.

Now when you touch the monocle a dialog menu will come up offering you the choice to change the lens or the rim, and then more options as to what colours you can pick for either. This way you don't have to refer back to the instructions contantly, or simply remember all of the options. The rim now changes between gold, old gold, copper, silver, pewter, gunmetal, black, and iron. The lens still changes between the nice common and useful clear, but also features amber, brown, smoke, a lovely bottle green, and the yet more odd solid shiny black (for all of your extreme villain needs!), and pink and baby blue (for those manly enough to pull it off- or girly, as the case may be). You can also still tell the lens to change to a particular shade by the vector value, and it will remind you how when you choose the "Custom" option in the lens menu. /55 <1.0, 0.0, 0.0> will turn the lens red. (The rest of the vector instructions below still hold, but now it's /55 instead of /49 monolens .)

It changes colours on my regular channel 49: monorim addresses the metal rim, changing it between gold, silver, copper, pewter, and black, and monolens addresses the lens, changing the tint. It has the nice common and useful clear, but also features amber, brown, smoke, a lovely bottle green, and the yet more odd solid shiny black (for all of your extreme villain needs!), and pink and baby blue (for those manly enough to pull it off- or girly, as the case may be). You can also tell the lens to change to a particular shade by the vector value- /49 monolens <0.0, 0.0, 0.0> for instance, will tell it to be a semi transparent black, whereas /49 monolens <1.0, 1.0, 1.0> will tell it to be a semi transparent white. To figure out other values, take the colour in the colour picker, and divide each variable by 256, and plug in the values. Of course, it's also mod, so you can simply edit it straightforwardly, but some might find the vectors to be useful for colours that they use often. (Do note that /49 all will not address this item at all, unlike other items.)

Available in stores (La Reina, Area 51, and Le Cadre') and OnRez.
