One of the things that makes Collabor88 a hallmark event each month is that the releases from the core group of designers are certain to be high quality, must have items. It’s a combination of talent, reputation and love of what they do that they put into every piece they release. Events get tired, and worn out. Collabor88 roars back in every month and it’s always the same chatter “I can’t get in.” “Someone leave Collabor88” “It’s been two days and I can’t get in”. This isn’t because of the cache of simply going. It’s because there are a core group of designers releasing great things that add beauty and style to our second lives, head to house.

When they add people at Collabor88, it’s never “Who?”. It’s “OMG YAY!” That’s how I felt this month when Maitreya was there releasing their signature awesomeness into the wilds on the 8th.

My love of Maitreya is deep and wide and it’s one of those places I never demo. It’s Maitreya I know it’s awesome. The leggings and the coat for Collaobr88 were perfect for this morning as my RL is covered in a thick layer of what looks like permafrost. I’ll look for mastodon footprints in it when I leave for work.

Bubbles Clawtooth brought me joy with a warm headband that’s a bow (because BOWS!) for his flowing hair this month.

I’m also wearing one of the Tara skins from Belleza available at THE ARCADE.  I love skins being available at the Arcade – skins are expensive and it’s a great place to pick up a very gorgeous skin without a ton of lindens invested!

And now I must venture into the RL cold. I wish I had a cute headband like this one!
