I was going to blog a look of the day but instead I decided just to do a post about these eyes. I love eyes. My first eye love was Tacky Star (rumor has it they are gonna be back soon) then my next love was Ibanez Eyes (Annie recently closed her store-very sad), my next eye romance and still standing romance has been with IKON eyes. I love his eyes, I love how realistic they are and they just shine. I was recently thinking about who does fantasy eyes and then I ran into Vitani Jun last night and I noticed the eyes she was wearing, I LOVED them and so I asked “dude, who made those eyes?!” and Vitani told me that SHE made them…so she passed over a few folders full of fantastic fantasy eyes she has made for her store ni.ju. These rainbow colored eyes called Depth Eyes – Rainbow Swirl are my fav. They come in a large size and a small size. These are going to be a part of my eye rotation from now on…I’m always excited when I find a great eye creator!!

Cajsa Fast Five: April 3rd

Leave a reply

Fast Five It’s Fashion Week, so I hope you are heading out to the runway shows. It can be dangerous, I spent nearly all my money yesterday and there are still more shows to come. But don’t forget to check out the Fast Five after the show.

  1. An Event to Remember: Harper Ganesvoort employs her writing skills to create a fun short story illustrated with Second Life photos. I love to see creative and singular approaches to blogging and that is what she brings. 
  2. Meet This Sim: Memenot Mori with Finns: I almost did not click on this title in my reader because we have all seen Memento Mori so very many times. However, guest photographer makes it new again in this first post of a new series from Leda Carter.
  3. My SL Pet Peeves Meme: Strawberry Singh has a new meme. People are sharing their pet peeves. This can go two ways – into a spiral of negativity or into a storm of catharsis. Let’s all try and make it the latter.
  4. Spread Your Wings and Fly: Carthalis Rossini brings to life another amazing alternative avatar – an avian being this time. More than anyone, he consistently makes alternative avatars appealing.
  5. Loovus Dzevavor for AVENUE Spring/Summer 2013 Fashion Week: Mokatana Boa does a fabulous job highlighting some of the collection. I went to the show yesterday and was blown away. I spent way more than I can afford, but if you look at these pictures you will understand how that happened.

Barnesworth Anubis created the Haight Apartment Skybox clearly to remind me how lovely simplicity and freeing myself from clutter can be.

It’s spring, and it’s time to slough off those dead skin cells, rid yourself of those dark winter colors and embrace the warmth of the world coming alive again. Continue reading →

It is time for the AVENUE Spring/Summer Fashion Week and the floodgates have opened as one design house after another releases the their latest collections for the season. The Spring/Summer fashions focus on a breezy casual look as you can see in this design from MIAMAI that paired skinny trousers with a short floaty floral top. The scooped in shoulder gives this a new shape and a modern edge.

Cajsa Fast Five: April 1st

Fast Five It’s April Fools Day. No tricks here though. Just beautiful dresses and beautiful pictures. Because it’s April Fools, I decided to skip the news articles today, because… However, I do have to mention Firestorm’s big new push to bring the viewer to your mobile phone.

  1. The 35th Opens the Heavens: Bodza Blackadder shows this amazing dress, a real show-stopper. Be sure to click on the photo so you can see it full-size to appreciate all the fabulous details. /me wants. 
  2. Outta Here: Lauryn Teardrop has a fun picture with just a bit of retro feel. And there is a poll!
  3. Springtime Romance: Teshan2222 Wycliffe has a fabulous trio of looks that are perfect for spring. I love that her photos are instantly identifiable as hers.
  4. Caught Up in the Whirlpool of Life: Wise Sandalwood’s photo is magical. She also mentions a new project from ADCreations to release an outfit inspired by a book each month.
  5. 065- Patchwork Ducks – This might be my favorite Where’s Dim Sum? yet.

Easter Hatology

It is Easter a holiday, a Christian holiday celebrated on the day of a pagan rite celebrating spring. We are told it is named after Eostre, the goddess of spring. Our source for that is the Venerable Bede who wrote in his book On the The Reckoning of Time “Eosturmonath has a name which is now translated “Paschal month”, and which was once called after a goddess of theirs named Eostre, in whose honour feasts were celebrated in that month. Now they designate that Paschal season by her name, calling the joys of the new rite by the time-honoured name of the old observance.”

 

 

 

You know, he could have been joking. He did a lot of fabricating in his book. I guess, lacking Google, he filled in with imagination what he didn’t have well-sourced. The only thing that is known that several cognates in other languages mean dawn, so it’s possible it could be the dawn of spring. This really is the only early evidence of Eostre. There’s Grimm of course, but he’s closer to our time and is even more certainly inventing as he goes along.

Still, the commercial traditions of easter eggs and bunnies and peeps are harmless fun that make a holiday special for kids who are not quite ready to understand the metaphysical aspect of the day. They also give the holiday secular components that make it part of the unofficial civic religion that people of all and no faiths participate in as part of being here in this society. That is how Easter works for me. So, of course I am wearing an Easter bonnet, courtesy of Gidge who sent it to me. Thanks, Gidge!

Cajsa Fast Five: March 31st

Fast FiveHappy Easter! If you want to celebrate, there is a free mesh rabbit avatar noted by SpaceCase M in her blog, but for the fast five, some great writing today as well as beautiful pics.

 

  1. The Many Faces of Eve: Leda Carter shares an intriguing avant garde outfit that perfectly illustrates her post title. In her post, she explores friendship, loss, loyalty and keeping promises to oneself. It’s rare for someone to share their soul-searching so   openly. It takes courage to lay one’s heart on the table. 
  2. Oh, Stupidity Alert!: Lizzie Gudkov has a new 100 word story that appeals to my sense of the absurd. I can see this scene in some surreal film. I love the picture she illustrates it with as well.
  3. Down the Rabbit Hole for Easter: Inara Pey brings us an Easter themed travel post with lots of photos. The first photo is breathtaking.
  4. April Fool’s House: Continuing the holiday theme, Ziki Questi introduces us to what looks to be a fun, must-see place to visit tomorrow, if not sooner.
  5. And I Need Another Look at Before: Magenta Devinna brings us an almost NSFW post. However she makes it safe for work with some careful posing and styling. She posts a stunning diptych that you just have to see for yourself. It is wonderful.

So this is an outfit to wear clubbing. The sleek, almost mirror-like pants look great under the moving colored lights over the dance floor. The top is about as sexy and revealing as is legal and yet cool, comfortable and perfect for dancing. I imagine that little bow could tempt someone to pull one end, but smart tailoring has stitched it closed so there won’t be an murder on the dance floor tonight.

The super sheer lace is lined along the facing, providing strategic opacity just where it is needed. Little chain button closures flirt with exposure but are perfectly secure. Because it is sheer, it has to fit perfectly and it does. There is no alpha with this top because the point is exposing the skin.  Continue reading →

Put on a little make up make up…..

Leave a reply

Some people would call me a skin whore but what I love more than skins are different types of make-ups. Not just like blushes and lipsticks and regular good ol add-on’s. I mean make-ups that transform your face. I love it when creators take chances and get crazy. One of my favorite places for insane make-up is La Malvada Mujer. I’ve used a few of their add-on’s in my pictures below.

I wish more people would take advantage of make-ups. It can take a skin in a whole new direction. Also, don’t be afraid to wear skins with the no brow option. There are SO many brow tattoo’s out there. Some of my favorite brow add-on’s are from Nuuna’s and Rotten Toe. A creative brow can make a whole new look for you.

In the pictures below I started with a clean base from Nuuna’s, it has no makeup on it at all and no brows. This makes it easier to apply add-on’s.
