It's ONLY…SKIN FAIR!!!

1 Reply


Through the skins we choose we define who we are. Or, who we are on that day. When I joined the Grid four years ago I had two skins which I wore for over a year.
Thankfully, those days are over and now we’re chameleons who change our colors like we change our minds. Just like in real life, we can paint on a different face to show you the version of beautiful we want to be today.
I thought I’d kick off with a boutique skin from IDIOSYNCRASY which is owned by Ashia Tomsen.
Ashia is a long time resident of the grid as well and one of the loveliest people I’ve ever interacted with. She’s released ELLA for the skin fair so I thought I’d share with you some of the beautiful makeup options available to personalize this release to your taste.

First – the NON traditional looks I love!

I think the version that looks like lizard or cracked stone – on the right………..is so compelling. I can’t figure out what I reminds me of but I love it. Continue reading →

Two Moons Island

I wandered around the beautiful Two Moons Island wearing a lovely purple suit from L’Abel called Chaya. The suit is a classic jacket and skirt with modern details such as the exposed zipper up the front, the bold shoulders and the belled sleeves.

Such a beautiful outfit deserves a truly spectacular place and Two Moons Island, home of the always inventive MiaSnow, is just that place. There’s nothing like strolling in the moonlight under two moons in a nebula filled sky to remind you how beautiful Second Life can be.

Scarecrows & Navajos

I have no words of wisdom about scarecrows or Navajos, but Navajo is the name given to this luscious top from Peqe and, well, there is a scarecrow in the photo. I just liked the sound of the two words together. The top is really luscious, isn’t it?

Week 13 – Emerald

Leave a reply

This post is a two for one! First things first – this weeks color is Emerald and this skirt from GL Designs.

The skirt from GL Designs was a sale item last week and was what brought me into the store.  The tight fit and high waist are just my style. And the texture is gorgeous.  For the second part of the post… we move to the shoes.  I was fortunate to get a valentine gift from Je T’aime of a similar pair these gorgeous pumps.  So I had to run to the store and get a pair in black.  I am forever looking for well made, good fitting pumps, since I love to dress vintage, pumps are a must have and these are perfect.

Skirt:  GL Designs – High Waisted Pinstripe, Emerald

What’s soft, snuggly and so-so chic? My answer is the lovely fur poncho from Lelutka. Called Rea, it’s Rea-lly perfect for a chilly walk at Roche, the lovely sim where I shot the pictures.

The dress is equally perfect for the chilly weather, a lovely striped sweater dress from A-Bomb called Cold Embrace. Isn’t it fun how A-Bomb names all their outfits after song titles?

Lost in your cold embrace
I’ll perceive your light
Burning my life inside
You will see my fire fade away

There’s a reason everyone waits expectantly for new releases from Lelutka. There are always deliciously beautiful clothing to excite and tantalize us. Among my favorites from the releases last month is this gorgeous dress aptly Oman, with its waves of luscious ombre fabric with a rich black taffeta overskirt. It’s lush, romantic and oh-so-exhilirating.

I shot it at the lovely Barbee sim that is one of the rare black and white venues in Second Life. A warren of shops and buildings with little nooks of trees and foliage, the only exterior flashes of color come from peacock feather trees. It was a lovely place to highlight the lovely colors of the skirt.
