Skin Fair: quirky cute

Leave a reply

tadpole1

Fade Lei of Ugly Duck has a habit of playing with people’s expectations. Sure she can do gorgeous, but she can also do quirky, because there’s a range of motion with those avatar sliders that most of us just don’t use. “Try on Tadpole,” she suggested to me gleefully.

I bought it without even looking at the demo.

“ACHA! What the heck, try on the demo first. You deserve what you just got,” Fade said, more or less.

So I put on Fade’s Tadpole shape and laughed and laughed… But after a while I realized that (a) I like it. It’s got a lot of personality. And (II), the face looks gorgeous in Fade’s Olive skin, with or without the squinty eye. Nice try, Fade. Nice try.

I made my way back to Insight Forest, the striking art exhibition space on Visionaria. It’s such a peaceful and serene spot to shoot and turning on the region’s own windlight settings enhances that pacific mood. I wore the new skirt from Baistice. I have shown it before, but this is one of the two-color versions. I added a cream system layer top from LeeZu! The top is very sheer, but it becomes opaque by layering three layers.

The soft yellows, pinks and greens of Easter are upon us, signaling spring is coming. Despite the snow storm that just swept across the north of my part of the world, today it’s  a barbecue and socializing that is on my calendar. Continue reading →

Skin Fair: Ugly Duck Olive skin and Calf shape

It’s that time of the year where your fashion feed fills with porn — no wait, those are just all us fashion bloggers reviewing our loot from the Skin Fair! That’s right, in order to better show you what the skin looks like, we’re compelled to post all nekky and in sexy lingerie and stuff. (I secretly suspect we’re all just exhibitionists.)

I’m not even me in this photo. I’m wearing a gorgeous skinny-model-esque shape by Ugly Duck (called the Calf shape, Fade Lei’s professed favorite), and the new Ugly Duck Olive skin too. I’m kind of addicted to both. (By the way, I threatened to blog her shapes in demo form, because they look so cute and gollumy with the enormous hands and feet.) Go check it out at the Skin Fair!

Sitting next to me is a new mesh plushie from ~Silentsparrow~, keeping me company while my partner is busting her ass all day making mesh corsets and necklaces and stuff.

Shape: Ugly Duck Calf
Skin: Ugly Duck Olive (makeup/dark)
Hair: Lamb Black Magic in my little pony
Birdie: ~silentsparrow~ Chymri Mesh Plush Bird
Lingerie: Luxuria Caer lingerie set, vintage

When Shopping Is Your Profession

New Shoes Blues? Never, I Chose Pink.

 

With so many things going on this weekend, I decided I wanted mellow shopping day without too many crowds or lag to disrupt my experience. But first, I had to get a touch up at the aesthetician to make sure I was cute in case I ran into any of the fashion mafia.
Getting My Hairs DidI got my roots touched up and decided it might be fun to go check out the Boutique event, especially since I like the idea of a Boutique with cute things you can’t resist. Continue reading →

Cajsa Fast Five: March 16

Leave a reply

Fast FiveI hope some of you can drop by Fashion For Life this afternoon. I will be DJ’ing from 3 to 4 and have pulled together a fashion-centric set. Meanwhile, there’s great stuff on the blogs.

 

  1. Clover: Grazia Horwitz shot a striking headshot that you really have to see. She always does an excellent job, but this one is breathtaking.
  2. I’ve Been Walking… : Belen Ackland has stunning fashion photos that work so well in the setting, they could easily grace a fashion magazine.
  3. Transformed: Xeriko Melnick takes the treehouse from Trompe L’oeil’s that’s one of the hot items at Collabor88 and transforms it into a beach house. Who knew?
  4. Wiskee’s Journal: Citta Wiskee’s tumblr is worth visiting for a long time and often.
  5. Tameless: A dream kawaii post from Manolya Preis. Most items are from the Pink Fusion Hunt. And seriously, the most detailed credits ever.

I know all of you have seen this top many times over. When it came out, it was so new and distinctive that fashionistas rushed to buy it, including this one. It was blogged over and over again. That happens when items are exciting and fresh. The thing is, though, that this top has qualities that make it good investment dressing, too. It’s something to hang onto for the long haul, to be pulled out next year and the year after that because it is not only well-made, but it is made to play well with others. The relatively short waist keeps it from conflicting with skirts and pants. The lack of a collar lets it fit with lots of jewelry and even several jackets. It’s a keeper.

Today I paired it with this fabulous new pencil skirt from Baiastice. I love that she put in this soft version of a kick pleat in the back, adding an extra bit of stretch when you walk so the fabric does not get so streched. This skirt was released in five solids, six bi-colors and six leathers.

Pink Fuel – Alyx

Leave a reply

All is right in the world again. I was like emo about not being able to get into the skin fair early, which is obviously my fault because I’m lazy and didn’t apply to be in any of the blogger groups. Anywho, tonight Mochi passed over the tone of my choosing (pale of course) and I’m in love. This skin called Alyx in the porcelain tone is so adorable. The shots are raw shots, I’ve edited nothing on the skin.

Hybie’s Seven Second Life Facts – Meme

10 Replies

I wasn’t sure what I was going to write to go along with these pictures I took last night then I remembered there was a new meme from Strawberry Singh floating around. ( I would link it to you but it appears the link button is broken, it’s greyed out and I don’t know why). On that note, let’s get started.

1) I NEVER know what to write when I’m blogging. It frustrates me to no end when people say bloggers should write. lol. I just want to post pictures and say a few one liners and be done with it. I don’t feel I have anything interested to say. Honestly, I might make up some shit here because I’m already struggling.

7 Facts or Opinions

Seven Facts? Sure.

 

I wasn’t much in the mood to do the Seven Facts Meme but, I couldn’t think of anything else to say, so let’s see:

  1. Gidge is my first avatar. I’ve said it before but some of you might be new, Gidge is also my RL nickname. I didn’t realize I was supposed to be creating an alternate person.  I’ve been told recently that the fact that I’m so just “myself” in world that it’s off putting to people living their fantasy on the grid.  I think that’s why I spend most of my time alone lately.
