Celebrating Talent

mar11_009

Fashion For Life brings together the best talents in Second Life to raise money for cancer research – something that benefits us all since it’s a rare person whose life is untouched by this cruel disease. LeeZu Baxter of the eponymous LeeZu! is known for her fashion forward designs that combine innovative sculpts and rich textures into fashion fabulosity. Something about her that is less well-known is that she shares her incredible talent through a series of tutorials which are all gathered in one site with the easy-to-remember name LeeZu! Tutorials. As you can see from this dress, that’s learning from the best.

I shot the photos at the Monastery of St. Michael the Archangel. This is a place I found thanks to the amazing photography of Domitalia Jinx whose photosteam is dangerous. If you go there, you will be trapped there for however long it takes you to look through her amazing images.

Fashion For Life 2011

Fashion For Life 2011 Sims
I walked through the Fashion For Life sims during the wee hours. Taking advantage of the quiet and emptiness, I shot photos of the builds so we can remember their beauty long after they are gone. I added the pictures to the Second Life Stock Images group on Flickr so folks can use them as backgrounds for their blog pictures.

Forward To Fashion For Life

Mar10_005

Fashion For Life is starting in just a few days and this year looks to be bigger and better than ever. Not only will there be wonderful designs such as this dress from Clio, but the organizers seem to have taken everything learned from every event and incorporated it into their planning to make your experience as wonderful as possible. I read the article at the Fashion For Life website on what they are doing to combat lag and was so impressed by the thought and planning. Bookmark that article because it has useful tips for steps you can take to improve your experience as well. Now, back to the fashion.

Clio Cardiff is fond of color, bright and bold saturated color. So, when I was thinking about where to shoot her Berry dress, I immediately thought of Two Moon Island. I headed back for the shoot and fell in love with it all over again. There’s several landscape photos of Two Moon Island on my Flickr.

Sn@tch Freckles Put You In The Mood


Ivey Deschanel at Sn@tch has recently released a line of freckled face makeups with lovely lips and eyes to boot. I’m wearing her makeup over Belleza’s Erika just to show you how pretty and subtle the freckles are – like a kiss from the sun.

As a Southern Belle imma have to bathe in buttermilk to get rid of them. šŸ™‚

I’m also wearing the gorgeous earrings from MOOD – ENDLESS GLAM – which come with a cuff bracelet and beautiful color change options. These are available at the Pure Juice event. Continue reading

Post No. 2261

lelutka kit makeup 7_010

It’s too early, I guess, to come up with a clever post title, so I settled for naming the number. There’s no settling, however, when it comes to the gorgeously foxy Kit skin from Lelutka or the detailed swimsuit from Vogel. Both are exemplars of the best of Second LifeĀ® craftsmanship and creativity.

Menswear Monday Kicks OFF NOW!


Gabe Bookmite and I are proud to bring you the first ever MENSWEAR MONDAY sale event at AMIRA. More vendors than I can properly count (seriously just ask them, I totally forgot to put carts out for everyone, I’m lame) and nothing over 100L! Great stuff for the guys, or ahem, the girls in guy AVs.

I’m totally wearing boy pants! From FEAR AND CLOTHING – the YEH YEH tartan roll up pants are awesome on boys and girls. I’m not wearing the cuffs because I suck at editting prims. Forgive me Johnnny!

It is my opinion that both boys and girls will find good things at Menswear Monday Today!

Here – Take a ride!

SEE YOU THERE!

I’m wearing:

  • Shape – Savoir Fare – Gidge
  • Hair – Truth -Aiyanna – Grape
  • Skin – Belleza – Erika – Pale 4
  • Tattoo Makeup – Sn@tch – Freckled Makeup
  • Pants – Fear and Clothing – Yeh Yeh – Roll up Tartan Pants
  • Ink – Katonik

 

Sunday Morning Coming Down

Belleza Melissa_004

One of the exciting bonuses of Vanity Universe Skin Fair is that you know that Tricky Boucher of Belleza will have a new skin to fall in love with all over again. Tricky is not one of the skinners that rolls out something new every few weeks. Instead, he spends a long time on each skin, perfecting it so that when you go to Belleza, you know you will get one of the finest skins on the grid. And this skin, Melissa, does not disappoint.

….As Long As You Love Me


Although loneliness has always been a friend of mine
I’m leaving my life in your hands
People say I’m crazy and that I am blind
Risking it all in a glance
And how you got me blind is still a mystery
I can’t get you out of my head
Don’t care what is written in your History –
as long as you’re here with me Continue reading

Purrfect Idiosyncrasy

Idiosyncrasy Ella

I am not sure how this affected this post, but in the interests of full disclosure, all the photos were shot, cropped and edited while I was laying down sharing a pillow with my cat who purred loudly in my ears while he watched me work. There’s something so relaxing about a purring cat, but that doubles down when they are laying so close you can feel every rumble of their purr. Of course, there was also the delight of discovering the fun new makeups in this lovely new Ella skin from Idiosyncrasy for Vanity Universe Skin Fair. I really was in a good place.

Idiosyncrasy Ella
Ella is a gorgeous skin from Ashia Tomsen of Idiosyncrasy. It comes in three shades, Pale, Medium and Dark. I think I was purrfectly neglectful and forgot to shoot a pic of the dark tone, but you can see it on her Flickr photostream. I am showing off the lovely Kim lingerie from Baiastice and the fun flats from Periquita. The many fun makeup options and lip tattoos are after the cut.
