I can’t think of a quippy title. I suck.
Gospel Voom is one of the super talented designer behind GOS, a newish (to me, anyway) store that specializes on amazingly detailed watches and sunglasses, not to mention shoes. There are other non-avatar related items, like furniture, but that’s not what I’m focusing on today. Today, it’s all about the sunglasses because the summer is almost here, and it’s already gorgeous weather here on the west coast.
The Butterfly model is probably my favourite. I kinda like the oversized glasses look in SL, because the real me just does not look good in sunglasses like this. So this is me living vicariously through my avatar. There is a buttload of options for these and all of their glasses, including tons of colours for the lenses, frames, hardware, etc. Opacity is customizable, as is full-bright and glow from off to high.
The Compulsive specs remind me of Bono, except perhaps smaller. If you’re looking for that something special to make your glasses truly unique to you, you can buy an upgrade kit, which are available in a ton of colours for L$60 each, or a fatpack of all of the upgrades for L$500. So if you want zebra-printed frames, you can get them (that’s an example).
And finally, we have Intuition. For these, I got to try out the spray can and omg can I just say this is one of the coolest ideas ever! I applied the Tortoiseshell update, and it gave me Amber lenses as well as the tortoiseshell frames. After making the lenses clear, I’m ready to put on my serious face and kick some corporate ass!
Sizing is also menu-driven, as well as placement. So if you need to move them up or down or all around, you can do that through the menu. This makes me want to perch them up on top of my head!
Each of these pairs sells for L$600, a pretty good deal for such customizable eyewear.
Get down to GOS and check out their sunglasses! On your way, check out the watches and shoes, including their newest release, the Burlesque boots.
Now, I have to say a little something about the backgrounds. These are wall tattoos made by Wine and Roses, a very cool idea to jazz up some otherwise boring walls with a minimum of effort and prim use, but a maximum of cuteness! You can get these at the Wine and Roses mainstore.



Great sunglasses!
The pink one, can you tell me which skin and shape you use on this avi? I like it.
Thanks!
The skin is Laqroki’s Pearl, and the shape is my own.
Thanks!
