I recieved a review copy of eyes from Mayfly, and I liked them enough to make a post just about them. Mayfly has four “darknesses” of each eye tone, and I’m wearing the lightest here. Go check them out! (SLURL to Mayfly)
Eyes: Mayfly – Liquid Light Eyes (pale true grey W1)
Skin: BCC Latte Heim 07 from The Arcade
Dress: Nylon Outfitters Little Black Dress — One Shoulder from Collabor88
Hair: Lamb Gemini – Mango
Before I ever began blogging, I was an avid shopper. One of my favorite designers was Aphrodite Outlander and I had fatpacks of her Vintish pumps and her Sasy mules as well as many of her dresses. Early readers would find several posts with her clothing and shoes back in 2008 and 2009. I loved her bold, painterly use of color – as if Gauguin had decided to make clothes in Second Life®. Like many early creators, she closed her store. Luckily for us, though, her retirement turned out be a sabbatical instead. She’s launched a new store named L’Alph which she opened with several mesh shoes and dresses. I was so excited and am thrilled to be wearing one of her new dresses – Eva. She made it in twelve striking colors, but I chose the black one with the silver print. That gorgeous ring is from [glow] studio and can be found at FAIR – the new monthly design showcase from Chic Management. It opens at 4 PM today.
Waking up in a new house is so weird, isn’t it? It’s too clean, doesn’t have enough dust and…just, having been lived in yet. You can hear your own thoughts echo off the walls. I wandered around my mostly empty house this morning, wondering to myself what I wanted and what I would do today. Continue reading
I don’t often do skin reviews, but when I do, I hold a sparkly unicorn plushie. (Insert appropriate gif here.) At any rate, I really like this Cupcakes skin. Instead of going through it pixel by pixel, let me tell you the story of when I first met Rosemary Galbraith. She was a n00b, and so was I. She had a shop with an enormously long name, and when I met her she was bald and buck naked, working on her very first skin. I thought she was drunk, but it turns out she’s actually just that friendly and awesome! One thing that I’ve noticed about her skins over the past five years is that they have some of the most awesome derrieres in SL. Do check them out, and the sparkly unicorn plushies from ~silentsparrow~ too!
If you wanna see proof…
A tiny bit not safe for work under the cut.
Edit: OH LOL, here I am talking about arses when Hybie is totally all up in other body parts. We’re a hot mess tonight.
I got stuck in Ivey’s sn@tch earlier today. No really, I did….I went there to get this lovely new release called slow ride corset dress and I couldn’t teleport home. It wasn’t so bad though…her sn@tch is lovely. Anyways, she has an awesome concept going….purchase by size, I’m usually a medium and this was the same. I know her and others have been kinda blah about the whole standard sizing thing but I gotta tell ya, she makes a fine ass and I mean mesh ass…she’s not an ass…she is super.
I put on this dress from Donna Flora and loved the whimsical fabric choice. This inspired me to leave my box and head off in search of a fun, whimsical place to shoot. I started at Linden Endowment for the Art by opening my map and entering LEAn in the search window starting with 1. By the way, LEA1 is gorgeous, just not whimsical. Anyway, I ended up at 13 where I fell in love. I was so excited I mass broadcast a SLURL to everyone online telling them I found a great sim if they wanted to check it out. Several folks showed up for a peek, enough to make me crash.
And some of us danced! Yay for mesh skirts that skipped along with us. As you can see, Gidge and I, completely by coincidence, wore the same dress – and look very different. She’s wearing a much more classic feminine style while mine is casual and playful.
I couldn’t resist checking out LEA13 between Honour McMillan’s post and Cajsa already being there and insisting that it was amazing. I wasn’t prepared for the stark beauty or the enchanting whimsy the place would inspire. Cajsa loved it so much she sent some blasts that people should come join us.
Our friend Hart Larsson of PXL Creations did just that!
Hart must’ve found it to be as playful and fun as we did, because he lead a bout of random dancing that must’ve gone on for nearly 45 minutes. Continue reading
I got some gacha from The Arcade. The amazing part is that no matter how many gacha posts I see (like Zazneny’s adorable post and Till’s broodingly handsome one), I keep seeing new stuff I kinda want. Wanna see my haul?
Stuff:
(NO) Doll Head Vase – Mother Nature
(NO) Doll Head Vase – Cherry
EVEN MORE STUFF under the cut.
After days of getting the “Full sim” message re: The Arcade, I finally got in and got some Lightning Bolts from Deco. Score! I also busted out my trusty umbrella, bought once upon a time at Trilogy. Once again, my blog takes place at the wonderful Zigana sim.
On Till:
Poses by Del May and the umbrella
Hi!
Tonight is the deadline for the Mon Tissu Blogger Search contest, and I couldn’t resist giving it a go. It’s my favorite store on the grid, a virtual Anthropologie! How can you not love that? The contest ends at midnight, so you still have time to throw your hat into the ring. There are some amazing entries! Even if you don’t enter, take a moment to look at the beautiful work everyone has done in the Mon Tissu Flickr group.
These were already posted on my Flickr account, but I wanted to post the looks here. It’s not often I venture out to do “on-location” shots, so I thought I’d share the lovely locations in case you’re looking for a new spot for photos!
