Pit Babe

What more could I have wanted with my VR Professional Kit ? me personally, nothing. I was happy as a pig in mud with all of its functions already, but then the latest update blew me away. I have never been a location blogger -  and others do it wayyyyyyyyyyyy better than I do, I mean sometimes in the past I had shot outdoors, but I always get really frustrated with it, not just never really finding exactly what you have in mind, but then all the limitations that the location may or may not have.

There has always been ways around it for the posing aspect, other wonderful creations that people have made, but again never really my need so I had never had to get one. Then there was the other option of just playing in world from inventory, but that never really works too well when you have one like mine, or just the inability to stay still lol.

So the last update of the VR Professional HUD/KIT changed all that for me, there is now a Library HUD that links to the VR Professional HUD, this one is a bit different than I have heard about in the fact that you do not need to fill in notecards, ok thats the other reason for me, I am lazy lol. All you have to do is rez one on the ground ( they are copy) and name it then fill it with poses and take back and wear, it will even tell you what channel its linked to on the hud.

Then voila the ability to change poses anywhere you are that allows scripts, so I was thinking Oooooooooo I wonder ? and yes it worked too. I dragged one to the floor and named it Stands Only , and threw in 45 stands , the fab thing is that with the item you get a script you throw in your Zhao and it will turn it off and on when you are using either the Library or the Posestand – how cool is that, no more getting stuck in AO sits when you are trying to pose.

Ok so with that function and the library full of stands , I now have a 45 stand AO lmao. Seriously when you have to stand with people and talk for a long period of time,  I hate that even though I make sure my stands don’t change until maximum time, I still feel weird looping back to the beginning so fast. So now I click on the library when I am staying still and go into auto and type in chat how long I want between each stand, and then It could be an hour until I get to the first one again lol. Then when I want to walk I just click it off and my AO comes back on, BRILLIANT!.

Ok so it was time to use my VR HUD Library for outdoorsyness, and so when I saw the Newish Alessandra Pit Babe set I was smitten, I mean halloween is over, but how could you not want this look. The yellow was stand out my fav but there are lots of other yummy colours also, it’s very sexy and gorgeous texturing, and when you have on a skin like the New Angel skin by Adam n Eve the more revealing the better, don’t pay too much attention to my bum, go try on the DEMO and check out your own.

The hair is NEW too, from Here Comes Trouble (HCT) and its called Katlin, I am so loving that Babyboo has moved into Sculpted hair but merges both into such beautiful styles. Ok so it’s time for you to go shop.

Ready Steady Gooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!

The Dela Grand Opening was a HUGE Success with over 50 people in attendance. The fashion was Fabulous, and the NEWest items to the Dela range are just beautiful. In the show both items were worn together , but I wanted to show them as seperates, so you could see the versatility.

The Emilia sweater is just gorgeous, with the sculpted collar and sleeves, adorned at the neck with beading in a lovely arrangement, just adding that little touch of class to the look. Coming in an abundance of colours, I matched it up with the Sherry leggings also part of the Dela fashion range. Tucking them into the Bow Boots I am ready to tackle the day.

The Short Bob Aveda from ETD, has always been a great style and at the moment it like all items at ETD is on SALE, sleek and sophisticated it allows for really seeing the collar in this sweater. I can see wearing these sweaters often in the chillier weather.

The other New item is the Liza Skirt , this is a fantastic sculpted skirt in divine silk like textures, with the contrast bow belt at the hip, tieing it in. Word of warning on this skirt, is that this is made on ALL Layers, giving you the option of shirt layers as part of the top of the skirt, so do not do like I did and wear all, as you may just find yourself half naked lol – thankfully I wasn’t out and about at the time. Those upper layers are just extras so don’t despair you do not have to wear them to get this fabulous look.

I have teamed it up with the Jill tank, a stylish mod look tank, also from Dela with stunning leather/pvc like panel stripping down the front. The combination for me tied in beautifully with the black belt. The JuJu clutch is another new item in the Dela range,  and for those attending the show they were given one in a limited edition colour combo as an opening celebratory gift YAY Kura and Eitaro .

I adore this clutch for not only the beautiful texture and sculpted work but also for its size, as those little ones dont hold much. The hair I am wearing with the skirt is the Lily style from Dernier Cri a lovely layered cut. The shoes are the Polina Sandals from Dela a fabulous wedge heel from earlier releases and still just marvelous for daytime wear. Even though you can only see the tops the Liza skirt also comes with thigh highs , so looks incredible with boots also.

In this pic I am wearing the NEW Release Skin from Adam n Eve called Angel, a big change from the other skins at Adam n Eve a Hybrid if you will, a more photoreal skin but with all the incredible handpainting that Sachi does so well, the back and bum are as usual Incredible, and the detailing on the overall body is just gorgeous, I havent revealed much in this pic, so you will have to demo demo demo but just look at how fab the legs are for a start and her toes and nails YUMMMMY. You get so many extras with Adam n Eve skins too so make sure you check them out, and they are also having a SALE so don’t delay.

Angel really is a wonderful skin, the face is striking and could just be what you are looking for in a new or first skin.

Dela NEW Main Store

Aries:

Time for advice from those you admire for their smarts this month. Be it the decision on new purchases or just seeking direction in a new endeavor, go to them and ask for advice, but be willing to hear it. Taking advice doesn’t always mean you have to follow it to the letter, but don’t just change it to suit you either.

Taurus:

Things may come to a halt this month, but that fast and sudden stop might actually give you time for self assessment. A new direction in relationships with an existing or future one is much needed, that could be in the form of taking time off to just spend the time together, or bringing some spice into your wardrobe, don’t stop dressing up just because Halloween is over.

Gemini:
It’s all about change this month, Mind,Body and Soul. Clear your head by doing those tasks you have been putting off, when you have sorted through all those things that have needed sorting you will be able to guilt free move on to more desirable activities, this includes people as well as things. Pamper yourself this month, get a new make up for an existing skin or perhaps spend a day or two gathering demos from all over, and spend some hours in a good light setting naked – doesn’t have to be alone – find something that you want and go for it – be careful of too dramatic a change though, no remorse wanted so be sure its something you can live with down the line.

Cancer:
It’s time to nest, you know that the home is where the heart is, so make your heart full, don’t go overboard, but really look at your surroundings and make the changes you think are fitting. Maybe add some colours you wouldn’t have thought of ( http://www.colourlovers.com/ ) or ( http://www.patterncooler.com/ ) make your own fun cushions etc, find some mod copy ones that you can alter. Make some of your favourite snapshots art and decorate your home with those to compliment some of the fab new furniture and bits and pieces you find on your expeditions. Then when you are all done, invite some friends over for a house warming, it might not be a new house (or it might be) but be proud of it enough to show off.

Leo :

It’s time for a much needed break, but unfortunately you are going to have to make sure you are prepared for it, this being said plan plan plan. If you need items to make that vacation what you truly want it to be, do some research and find the good stuff. You don’t want to have to tp off to some location in the middle of a seaside romp because you didn’t get yourself a new Bikini or you don’t have any casual shoes to wear with said bikini.

Virgo:
It is your month to share, but not so much the material aspects of your life, but the knowledge you have. If you have ever thought about teaching now would be a great time to look into what would be involved. If you have skills that you know others would benefit from, go about making some tutorials and list them on the forums and a blog.
You may think that you have nothing to teach anyone , but you would be surprised to find out how many you have taught already. Discuss with some friends getting together once a week and swapping things you know, this could escalate into not only a useful knowledge base, but something far more gratifying.

Libra :
You have your groove on right now, things are good. Image is what you are about projecting in a desirable light this month, so a style make over may just be what you need. It doesn’t mean exactly changing the one you have entirely, but freshening it up. Treat yourself to some accessories this month and while you are at it , look at some pieces for those near and dear to you, they have been your anchors of late in such a positive way, it’s time to show your appreciation.

Scorpio:

Balance is key this month. You are seen to be a Social Butterfly and that is great for you, you know there is more to you so that image gives you time to escape into the fanciful and glamorous. Time to look at some jaw dropping pieces, this doesn’t always mean barely there, but think 1920’s sleek suits and perfectly styled short hair do’s, and yes ladies these suggestions are for you. Walk tall and exude confidence, because that bounces from person to person.

Sagittarius:

An ability to gather people around you with like minded interests this month will serve you well. Share some new ideas with people that embrace such things, and those ideas could manifest into golden oppurtunities for you as a single entrepreneur or as a group. You are going to get very busy very fast, so make plans, have a clear goal and direction you wish to head.

Capricorn:

Movement and physical well being are your things this month, this would make it a good time to animate. Check out the technology around, update, and be sure that how you want the world to see you, is not limited by you not doing your homework on resources. Take a day or two to explore the grid and take pics – if you have to – of stands you like and look at them once away from the store, see yourself how others will.

Aquarius:

Water is the way of your world, so use it. Feng Shui your home using water as a way of decorating but creating harmony, look at ways to implement water into your wardrobe with some stunning shades of blues and green. Or maybe find some beautiful jewelry pieces that resemble or represent that mood.

Pisces:
Work has been a challenge of late, but things on that front are about to change, lightening the load and the mood, so prepare yourself for the impact of that. Dn’t celebrate the change too early, pace yourself, but first thing to do once you feel it happen is to treat yourself, change can be as good as a holiday.

** These monthly star sign thingies are made up by myself, interpreted by my reading of the month ahead, only to be taken as fun but hopefully something you find intuitive for you this coming month.**

I have done another Movie.
Many of you have already been to the Loco Pocos Halloween Dream trick or treat hunt, but if you haven’t this is your last chance, after this weekend it will be gone, and I wouldn’t want anyone to miss it. I have been back three times, and enjoyed every moment from the first.
You also do not have to be a Loco Pocos Character to enjoy it as Damien Fate has taken that into consideration too, making available adult sized trick or treat bags.

Get on over to Loco Pocos at some stage this weekend, you have the ability to win an incredible for this dream only Avatar.

Those Darn Wabbits!
I HAD to do this, I just HAD TO ! LOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOL I hope you get as much of a kick out of it as I did.
So the other day I was doing goodness knows what, when a thought occured to me. As you know I have my random thunks all the time, but there are other things that come to me in flashes – and no they aren’t hot- often I am lucky enough that my flashes of inspiration get made, sometimes it can take a long time to happen, sometimes it happens fast.  Then there are the rare times like this one, that my flashes come too close to deadline and aren’t entirely possible, a bit too much and a bit too complicated to get done in a day or two.

Ok so there I was and was hit by the inspirational thought of “What happened after we closed the book ?”. One of my favourite movies is Jersey Girl with Jami Gertz & Dylan McDermott – really will never understand why they name two movies the same . In it there is a scene were Jami is reading to the kids in the child care place she works, and when it comes to the end of Cinderella, she ads to the end that Cinderella tells the Prince she will marry him but not until she gets her degree, or something like that, it’s been along time since I watched it.

So instant thought came to me of what did happen ? orrrrrrrrr *grins* what COULD ?.

I was never really one for Alice in Wonderland, I just didn’t get it and that bunny annoyed the hell out of me.You’re probably thinking ‘what’s to get ?’ well thats the point ” I DON”T KNOWWWWW” lol. If I think about it I can see random flashes of the story in all its forms , the cartoons, the movies, the book, but all that comes to mind for me is that darn rabbit.

So thanks to the fabulous Alice dress by Second Wave Apparel, and with a few little extras, I’d like to rename her Alice Fudd lol. Grandpa Elmer may not have gotten the rabbit but Alice sure did. So much so that she turned him into a coat, isn’t it just lovely – * No real bunnies were harmed in the making of this post*– I edited the Anesan coat from Bare Rose, which is a fab set and is a really old release well over a year, but I see it every time I go to Bare Rose and there is even a Mens Version.

It’s in a lovely leopard print usually but I used some Hair Textures to make it this lovely colour that is similar enough to a white rabbit. The ears which I also modded to add the blonde texture are from Dark Eden and are the Domme Bunny Ears they were a freebie many many moons ago so you may just have your own set, if not there are lots of great ears to be found.

This AWESOME Skin is a Group Gift I believe that went out to the AD Designs Skin Group, thats the lovely and talented Ashia Tomsen from Free Style’,so talented is that lady. It’s called the *AD* Timeless Halloween Special and it has a lovely porceline doll crackle detailing to the face that is just perfect for whatever you dress up as tonight.

The hair is Katya from Deviant Kitties a really cool combed back tail look which works well with the ears, and the Axe of fun and frivolity – not its official name – is made by Mel Vanbeeck My Hero, I remember when he made it, he had me in stitches, but for the life of me now I can’t remember WHY he made it lol, but I seem to remember some kind of Lumberjack reasoning behind it.

The fabulous Diva Heels are from Tesla and are just scrumptious in every colour they come in.

What would have happened to Dorothy if she didn’t make it home after all, or for that matter got back to Kansas and found that her house did in fact go to Oz leaving her homeless *giggles*. Seriously I would have loved for someone to make the anti fairytale collection, but when you have to have, you just have to adapt lol. I do know that some incredible sets are out there that are dark and anti etc, but my idea was more of the what if concept, than the dark – mind you making that coat up above was kind of dark lol.

I hope Sioxie doesn’t kill me for modding her beautiful costume, but I couldn’t resist, and she made it so perfect to be able to do that to. You get all layers and options in this set, with the addition of the fabulous basket as well. I also was really impressed that you get both prim and system skirt options for the skirt of this dress- one skirt which I of course made a copy of and edited lol-, and have I ever shared with you my LOVE LOVE LOVE of Gingham.

It’s a huge love, so is wearing my hair in braids, so much so that once upon a time in a cafe far far away I was having lunch and a little girl came over to my table smiled at me and ran back to her mum, when I turned around to see what was going on she was giggling and whispering to her mum, her mum grinned and told me that her daughter thought I was Dorothy lol , true story , didn’t hurt that I was wearing blue gingham and had my hair in braids at the time.

The hair I am wearing in this pic is a fab braids style called Stacey by Adam n Eve, the braids are flexi so its super adorable. The skin is a mix of Pulse, the Soft Ivory/Got Dessert skin which is freckled and streaky make up not really seenin the pics but so fab, then I changed into the Blissed Radiance for the memory shot. A few weeks ago I was invited to a trashed party, and had the nifty idea of trashing a pair of shoes, you know the broken heel kind of limp thing you get when you go out and get one stuck in a grate – don’t you hate that.

It took a long time to find a pair in my inventory that were mod, and thats cool I get why etc, but I did manage to find an old pair I had from Digital Dragon Designs, so through much editing I was able to remove the heel and then Fiachra Lach made me some loo paper to stick to the other heel, so for today both seemed perfect to reuse – tries not to think about reused loo paper.

Lastly the Wicked Witch saw the error of her ways and went on to Art School. This is a newish release from Second Wave Apparel called Red Tartan , and the set with the big and fab buckled belt and that high collar just screamed arty witch to me. Its a great and stylish look and actually has its very own beret also in tartan, but I couldn’t resist adding the NEW Witches Hat from Dark Eden. The pumpkins and skull are adorable and the feathers and actual style of this hat is very cool indeed.

The hat comes with two options, this being the deluxe , which has the addition of the feathers and tags, the other doesn’t have those but you get both in the set, with also option of mouth or chin attachments.

The Red Tartan set is a beautiful belted dress look , but when you remove the dress you have a seperate jacket and skirt look, great for mixing with other items of clothing, and the fab leggings make it wonderful for boots, I opted to go for the Alicia heels from Adam n  Eve, beautifully sculpted and a richly textured.

The hair is Rush from ::69:: a lovely loose pigtail look with really nice waves in an equally rich and fabulous texture.

A Notice came through this morning too that all of the Second Wave Apparel Costumes were on SALE weirdly the notices archives for fash con are wiped completely for me at the moment so I can’t get the exact details of the SALE but I do seem to remember they were half price and possibly only today, so dont quote me on that but go check them and the lovely clothing out.
