I like finding new places. New places that sell nice things are especially fun. New places that sell nice boots make me fall to my knees in a state of demented worship.
CREATiVE DECADENCE isn’t entirely new to me: I reviewed some boots from this store a while back on my personal blog* and have to say that Metal Gynoid’s skill has significantly improved since. Not that there’s anything wrong with my Slick ‘N’ Wickeds, but for something a little more detailed and adventurous, the newest additions really have to be considered.
The Dragonblade Thigh High boots cater entirely for your inner dom. The thigh highs sit on a slight platform base, with relatively low spike heel. 
Steel banding secures the foot above the rounded toe and in front of the heel, with buckled straps loose to the ankle and binding the upper and lower legs. Lightly curved spikes protrude on either side to ensure everyone keeps a healthy distance. Centred at the front on a layered lunette, strutted and spiked to the sides, there are dragon-head medallions to provide a focal point. To finish, you’ll find a pair of matching daggers sheathed to the side of the upper thigh, the hilt of each adorned with a meshwork of metal, melding into the guard which is neatly inlaid with a blue gemstone.
The boots come complete with hand daggers in the same style for all your sadistic pleasures: scripting on the boots allows for you to draw your blades, with appropriate pose. Very smooth.
Metal also sent me a sneak preview for a flat version of this style: they include some very clever scripting that allows for release of a toe-spike on a voice command, plus an armoured/no armoured option to the front of the boot. This feature kept me amused for many minutes: eventually I thought I’d show off, and pulled on a leather catsuit to hit the streets. Of course, I got an ample number of “Hey Sexy” IMs to indicate that these are indeed as attention grabbing as I had predicted.
It isn’t just boots that make a girl happy: futuristic armour which offers little more body coverage than your average fig leaf also does it for me. Enter then Battlequeen Armour, the answer to my naughty prayers.
I adore this. I love the way it works around my curves, amplifying, propping and generally promoting in all the right places. Its gentle arcs are extremely complimentary, contrasting with the spiked ends that lay in almost antler formation to the front, with side talons that bend inward as though to kiss the skin. If that wasn’t enough to keep your admirers completely occupied, a disk of red light moves in mesmeric circles to the front: you’ll really have to excuse anyone who has a conversation with your chest, as with this for an excuse they simply won’t be able to help themselves.
The lower coverage really isn’t very modest, but it keeps well with the tone; jutting spear heads flank the triangular kitty-keeper, with side bands curving gently to an onyx cabochon at the rear, and dropping to… well, your naked backside, as it happens. I’m sure no one in the vicinity will be complaining: just stay away from those PG sims.
(Shoes are available separately from the talented Storm Schmooz.)
If you fancy yourself a little piece of CREATiVE DECADENCE, you can pick up the boots for $525L and the armour set for a reasonable $475L. There’s more in store, so get yourself over there and have a good look around.
