I Got Life

Tuli Zoe 04 lips bare_001

The word Zoe means life and that’s a great name for such a lively, lovely skin. Life is rich and varied and so are these skins. A woman can go from “girl next door” to “femme fatale” with a change of outfit and a dash of makeup – and so can Zoe. Tuli Asturias’ skins are known for combining fresh-faced vitality with classical elegance, giving you the versatility that you have in your own life.

The body is lovely and, as expected from an established and experienced skinner, it is flawless. There’s an extraordinary amount of versatility thanks to the tattoo layers which Tuli uses extensively. Those options are after the cut.

We'll Always Have Paris

Chaisuki Paris NoBrowTattoo_001
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.
Chaisuki Paris Tones
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

Mesmeric Fingers Softly Touch

Redgrave Fairy Skin Avie 08 Snowstorm_001

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

Redgrave Fairy Skin Avie

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.

Jewelry Fair Faves: Violator

LeLookHoH_009

If you’re looking for a hot, sexy, edgy look, you should head right over to the Violator booth at the Jewelry Fair where Soraya Vaher has conjured up some gorgeous jewelry and accessories for the Fair. For this outfit, I chose the fabulous The Punk, The Ruff and the Beast collection of earrings, neckpiece and bracelet as well as the hat from The Dark Note set.

LeLookHoH_005

They are perfect accessories for the gorgeous House of Hucci exclusive for LeLook. The bold red, white and black is dramatic. The lines of sequins remind me of the earring design. It’s a dress that demands jewelry that is out of the ordinary and that’s the only kind of jewelry you can find at Violator.

Regal

sep29_015.jpg

Monica Outlander’s Black Label collection for her dazzling Spleen and Ideasm show is full of stunning and amazing outfits. The range in mood from the outrageously avant garde to the sedately regal. The Indrith gown is one of the most regal gowns in the collection with its rich colors, its fleur-de-lis textures and its massive panniers that give it majesty.

A dress of this scale deserves a setting that is also majestic – like ChouChou V – Memento Mori with a staircase made for long gowns.

Loving Virtual Decay

sep27_017.jpg

One of my favorite places to shoot pictures is Virtual Decay with its grungy urban verisimilitude. It’s just such detailed and high quality build in terms of details. When I tried on these recent releases from Kunglers for Modavia Fashion Week (yes, I know it’s past, but there were too many releases that week to even show a tenth of them) I saw that same high quality detail, particularly in the fabulous Soraia Jacket.

Texture Love

sep26_009.jpg

Oh, that Sissy Pessoa! Her new collection is jumping up and down and hollering at me for attention because it’s just so luscious I want to wear it all at once. The colors are right up my alley with lovely creams, olives and salmons. What really has me excited about this dress, though, is the marvelous texture of the fabric. I love the three-dimensional look of it – as though it’s been puffed somehow – more like paper in some ways, than fabric.

The setting for this shoot was Carpe Diem – a lovely pastoral sim with wheat, farm buildings, animals and like any good garden – a snake.

The Black Swan

sep23_005.jpg

Traveling on a space highway,
Three long years to this day.
A billion million trillion miles.
Home is a long, long way away.

From bow to stern she’s 20 miles long,
Ten miles high and wide.
A beautiful swan in a silent sea,
No water to slow her down.

sep23_001.jpg

Sometimes it seems we’re motionless,
Caught between time and space.
Other tiny star systems rush headlong by.
Signs are bursting in the rain

Luxuriating in Lingerie

Luxuria_007.jpg

The highly anticipated opening of Luxuria happened yesterday – with Roslin Petion’s release of her new lingerie collection. Roslin has been producing lingerie for her 5th & Oxford brand for a long-time and has a devoted following of people who admire her craftsmanship and skill in creating gorgeous hand-drawn clothing. The new Luxuria brand will focus on high-fashion, modern lingerie yet maintain the attention to quality and detail that often makes a person seek out vintage clothing. In the photo above, Gidge and I are wearing a sampling of all her releases, but I really have to focus on one in particular. Why? Vanity, of course!

Luxuria_022.jpg

Vanity, vanity, all is vanity! Of course I am going to focus on the Cajsa lingerie set and show you all the lovely jewel tones she made it in – because having clothes named for me makes my heart dance a little jig and sets me singing. I should point out that the pose box in the slideshow is from Dieselworks, but the many boxes used in the top photo are from Glitterati.
