It’s another quickie today. I decided to wander around and see what is what on some of Cajsa’s notecard of photosites. Continue reading

Saturday Slacker
I wanted to wear something casual and laid back today because it’s my first day home with my family after being gone for a while.
Thus – today is a quickie from me.
But I picked up the cutest watch at Miel at FLF and so I built my outfit around it!
I rezzed my old photostudio to shoot this and was laughing hysterically the whole time. It’s an old N30 – and omg, it was poofing stars. I haven’t used it in OH ABOUT FOUR YEARS so I coudln’t figure out how to turn it off. Every time I tried- it shut down the whole studio.
I need to studio shop hahahah. Continue reading
We'll Always Have Paris
Rick and Ilsa will always have Paris and so will you if you check out the new Paris skin from Chaisuki for Vanity Universe Skin Fair. With 18 skins, 18 tattoo layer lip shades, 21 special layers, 4 cleavage layers, 3 pubic hair layers, 4 brow layers and 4 hairbases in 6 warm and lush tones, you will have enough options to wear Paris everyday for a year without ever repeating yourself. Chai Kazan, the skinner behind Chaisuki, must have worked her fingers to the bone to produce this much variety. It took hours simply to shoot the pictures of the skins, I can’t imagine how long it must have taken to create them.
Six luscious skin tones. One of the things I really like about Chaisuki skin tones is that they remind me of warm and gentle hand-colored photographs. Continue reading
My candle burns at both ends
I woke up at 3 AM. Then I thought: OMG. I actually have time to do 50L Friday before work! At least that was an upside, right? I’m heading back to bed shortly, but I’d like to point out that the stripey cute shirt is a group gift from Honey Kitty, and the cute little boots are new at that shop too. My scarf is a 50L Friday item from a shop I hadn’t visited before, Theosophy. Cute idea! OK, back to bed for 45 minutes. Another photo and credits below the cut.
Mesmeric Fingers Softly Touch
Still, is the bustle in the Brook —
Sealed are the spicy valves —
Mesmeric fingers softly touch
The Eyes of many Elves —
Emily Dickinson, Poem XLIX
Emily Dickinson wrote about elves more than once. She truly saw the world in a grain of sand and was inspired by the natural world and by her fantasies. Emilia Redgrave has been inspired by fantasy lately. Whether you look at her dramatic Trinity skins inspired by vampires or her rugged action hero King skins for men complete with blood and bruises or her latest release for Vanity Universe Skin Fair, Avie, the Fairy skin, these skins are important contributions to the fantastical lives of Second Life residents. Just as Trinity is the quintessential vampiress, Avie perfectly expresses the naturalistic world of elves and fairies with her fresh, glowing healthy skin and that healthy outdoor blush on her cheeks.

What a Girl Wants…..
It was with a lot of excitement that I unpacked the MELISSA release from Belleza. The previous release, ERIKA, had just suited my shape so much that I couldn’t wait to see what Tricky had made next. Melissa didn’t disappoint me at all – it’s a beautiful face with a soft feminine body. Once again, I’m in love.
I’m trying out the sunkissed tone, which is one of the few sunkissed tones I’ve ever been able to comfortably wear. I’m normally a pale girl. But Tricky makes a gorgeous sunkissed that even the most die-hard fair girls should try.
Tricky is offering a great range of base skin makeups – which I’m showing here without any tattoo layers except lashes. Continue reading
Game day at Mother Road High
I really love boy clothing because it looks so damned comfortable. I love it IRL too. This morning, my avatar rolled out of bed, neglected to shower, put on some facepaint, and headed off to tailgate for the game. Right? His jacket is brand new from Arai, and his hair is something he put his fingers into and just kind of messed up. Actually it’s by Plume, part of a new set that includes beard attachments and different kinds of tattoo-layer face and head hair. I went with basic blond today, but the whole pack is fun to play with. Another photo and outfit credits behind the jump!
Skin, Skin & More Skin
Vanity Universe Skin Fair got off to a busy start – with a full sim of excited skin shoppers delighting in the new releases and swimming in a sea of demos. PXL Creations newest release for the Fair is Linda Gen3. Hart Larsson released it before the Fair, so many of you may have seen it. I was sick, though, and only got to unpack it until Sunday. I had to blog it even though it’s been blogged several times because it’s such a beautiful and elegant skin. It’s exactly the sort of skin I love, luminous and elegant with many options to allow us to get the exact look we want.
It’s not just the elegant makeups that make me fall in love with PXL Creations skins, it’s the soft and tender sexiness of the body. The tummy and the derriere are delightfully sexy. Special touches are a few stray moles. There’s also a full body tattoo of freckles and cleavage tattoo layers for those who want more uplift.

It's ONLY…SKIN FAIR!!!
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
A Tale of Two Kitties…or Three…or Four….
Ok so I had the turtles but I just could never remember to feed them. So, they died.
But I got my first set of kitties, SNAKE PLISSKIN (pictured above) and Flo, and well……….
now I’m hooked. Continue reading
