Wrecked
Just over a week left of Skin Fair, and it has been crazy busy over there…just as well you have the Garden City Relief Fundraiser to keep you occupied while you wait…
Ok so SIA is a skin that is a teaser skin by League, the saucy wench Nena has teased and titillated us with this release, because the body and the face are just glorious. Alas the skin won’t be available in full until after the fair, so hopefully you can wear SIA Wrecked until then, because seriously this skin has the yummiest bum.
It comes in 6 skin tones and so many options, hair bases, cleavage, freckles and two different lipstick options. Make sure you try on the DEMO at the fair.
I am wearing the flickiest 70’s retro style hair from Exile, this hair is available in the naturals pack at the Garden City Relief Fundraiser, so be sure to get yours. Kavar the creator of the hair HOPE, is actually also a New Zealander, so this is a very important cause for him, we were all so worried about his safety when we heard.
Got me some cute Capri’s on by WoE, these have a great paint effect to the denim, and look so awesome with my sneaker boots from Duh that I completely forgot I bought ages ago. Seriously is it just me or is Linden Labs making things pop up in your inventories too? things that you haven’t seen in a hundred scrolls at different times are suddenly there.
A fun item to show off the SIA skin and all the tones is the catfight bodysuit from Miseria, this is a really cool RP item, and there are so many wonderful things at Miseria, so even if this isn’t your cuppa, something will be.
My great background is from the Second Life Stock Images Group pool by fellow blogger Aisling Macmoragh .

Corporate Chic – Sasy Scarborough – Look 1
Ok so the Garden City Relief Fundraiser is already on the go, I stopped by before this post and picked up a lot of great items. Some of which I am wearing in this post. I also ran around with Newdoll this morning and picked up some stuff from stores I adore, which allowed for a professional look that allows me to add to the Corporate Chic Challenge that Whimsy has going – it’s an ongoing challenge so that when people are looking for that kind of look they can visit the flickr group as a resource.
I love this Chunky Cardigan from Nylon Outfitters, it is so cute, utilising the system skirt in a brilliant way. I am wearing it over the top of an Indyra skirt that I just love, I don’t know exactly how she managed to make a pencil skirt with pants and prims but she did, and she did an awesome job of it…the skirt is part of a set though.
The delicate and beautiful bracelet I am wearing is from the New Zealand Garden City Fundraiser, from MOOD, it is made of Paua Coral which is native to NZ, and such a lovely piece, I am also wearing the gorgeous hair from Elikatira, also a fundraiser item, and only sold in the essentials pack for the duration.
To look all professionabubble I am wearing the recent Group Gift from Mon Tissu the Favourite Readers glasses, so Geeky Chic and it lets me see my new fabulous Mon Tissu shoes extra clearly lol. They are a perfect professional shoe, but so adorable that they work for all sorts of looks including vintage.
All of this wrapped up in the neat package of LAQs latest skin Susan, available at Skin Fair from Vanity Universe. You get all the make ups shown with hair base or none options, and you can always pick up the additional hair base and brow base tats from the main store. I had already taken all my pics and realised I should have worn the red tats I bought before, but I like dark brows light hair, I am fab like that.
Remember DEMO DEMO DEMO and take your man, because the latest Male skin by LAQ was just released and male skins from there are always delish.

Belt Up
Skin Fair is in full flow at the moment, the amount of people visiting is huge, which is so great for all involved. You still have time to get over there if you haven’t and grab as many if not all the demos you can. I also heard that the Skin Addiction Group in world has a lot of the demos in their archives of notices, so you can also go that route and plan ahead.
Firstly though some wonderful new boots from J’s are the belted ankle boots. These come with the option of belt on or off and to my surprise the colours of this release are unlike any I have seen before from J’s. I mean get a load of that hot pink, wowza. J’s has made these for both alpha viewers as well as invisi prims options, so yay for wearing with pants with prim cuffs.
These look so fierce with my mix and match ensemble from Glam Affair, the Nero collection from a while back, pieces that I haven’t shown in the past, but look awesome mixed together. The pantaloon like shorts are so cute too, I really like how versatile they are. I am really glad that one of the sets had the black pasties on tattoo layer as well, so that I could be a bit more conservative under the lace undershirt. This collection is so cool to pull to pieces and make new and fab looks with.
Of course it all looks wonderful over the Mary Skin also by Glam Affair and at Skin Fair. The make up options are divine and so many options in the skins pack. Blush tattoos, eyebrow colours and hair base options, so much included. There are many gorgeous tones and it really is a beautiful skin, so remember DEMO DEMO DEMO.
Three new uppy do styles from Exile, a formal do, a looser more casual uppy do, and this incredible bunches of buns look that is so fun. I am showing off the different tones and hair with the lovely Cynful kini’s in other colours not shown before, and I have to show much love for the green.

Support New Zealand and its SL Residents
A shocking disaster happened the other day in New Zealand, last I heard over 65 fatalities and the images were horrific as this happened at noon in Christchurch one of the largest cities in New Zealand. Shelly Toonie has organised an event to help with this disaster, by organising space at Jori Watlers sim, to be involved you need to contact Shelly Toonie, you can set out an item for 100% proceeds and it does not have to be new or exclusive, but we are hoping that many will attend and everything will be new to someone.
Also Puarangi Jewelers which is owned by Hibiscus Flossberg a New Zealander who is an ex Christchurch resident, is donating ALL money made in her store up until the 31st of March to this cause, so please check her out also.
A new skin at the fair by Gala of Curio is Pout, and also another skin pack is Yum 2, I am showing pout today though, and it is definitely pouty. What I love about not only the face is the names of the make ups, Pout, Tantrum, Whine and so on, so fun, and so true to their names.
Clawtooth by Clawtooth has released some delightful blowing in the breeze style hair, and it’s subtle enough to be perfect for overcast days like the background I shot for Second Life Stock Images a few weeks back. I actually used blur on most of it in PS, so the sky stood out more.
I am wearing a set from Sn@tch and I actually had these pants in RL in two colours and you wont believe me I am sure if I told you one of them was purple, I didn’t always have an issue with that colour. The pants were so popular down here and woven in such a way that they would stretch and lose shape so easily that to get them back you had to wash and twist tight and air dry, and boom back to new again. I loved them, wore them to death, but mine had a much looser leg bottom…anywho as soon as I saw them at Sn@tch I had to have.
I really like the cropped jumper too, yes we call sweaters jumpers down here, It is the perfect style to show off your divine skins body, or layer over the top of a dress or other top for a completely different look. More showing off of the body with the new Ooh La La lingerie, these sets are set out in the party area at Lula and are just gorgeous, there is also a gift pantie and bra set if you aren’t too late, so run over and look for the dance area and little market stands.

Dear Elika, I couldn’t control myself…
Ok before I get to the post some IMPORTANT dates you have to mark on your calenders.
Pure Juice – March 5th – 26th
Fashion For Life – March 12th – 22nd
Pose Fair – April 1st – 15th
Culture Shock – May 1st – May 22nd
Shoe Fair – May 14th – 27th
Hair Fair – July 2nd – 15th
There are so many events coming up, and I know this isn’t all of them, but they are the ones I know about, so be sure to make room for them in your inventory….
The play hairstyle from Elikatira is amazing, the fit is perfection, I have not edited one prim. I would love to see some more styles based off this one, it is so delightful. Now I may not have edited any prims on the hair, but I sure did on the Secret Boots. Thanks to the boots being mod, and this is something I did discuss with Elikatira in the past the moment I saw the boots released, but I couldn’t contain myself any longer.
I removed the foot portion of the boots, and then wore them over the top of her move pumps. I love this look and some stretching and moving etc made them perfectly how I imagined them in my mind…and because I love them lots I had to wear them with my adorably sexy kini from Cynful to show off the body of the great new skin by YS & YS.
This is Susan a beautiful skin as usual by YS & YS, the make ups on this skin are really subtle but enough to go from day to night. There are 14 in total as well as brows, hair bases and cleavage options on tats, also freckles and eyelashes, all tat layers, so if you have a 2.5 viewer you can wear them all at once if needed.
I already had on the top of an outfit from The Secret Store, and was in the middle of modifying that too when the Diigii High Waist skirts from Luck Inc made more sense. The thin white belt part of the skirt added that nice graduation between top and bottom. There are two versions of this skirt and in perfect Luck Inc fashion this is the long version LOL.
Using one of my own background pics from Second Life Stock Images Group, so thanks to me for having the foresight to need this a few weeks ago.
Right now I am listening to the playlist of Cynneh of Cynful clothing on her YouTube, I only discovered today you can finally share those, so yay, it is a wonderful mix you can listen too from HERE

What are your Idiosyncrasy’s
Skin Fair started with a bang, the sim is packed and people are excited about all the incredible options…
One store dear to many of us is Idiosyncrasy, creator Ashia Tomsen has been working hard on her newest release, and they are scrumptious and different than past releases. Not only in the options available but with some classic and dramatic make up packs.
I opted for the classic, and was loving the look with a teeth attachment from LeLutka, I found this beautiful background pic in Second Life Stock Images Group on Flickr, thank you ScrappyLucie and was dressed and ready for a moonlight date. The PIG wraparound shirt I am wearing is so beautiful and you have to get one just to see the detailing it has at the back for the wraps join, so pretty and so sweet for such a sexy look.
I am also wearing such an incredible necklace from Deco, way late in blogging this, but it is superbly made and I love it, it is called Her Conquest Chain and it is really amazing work. Now back to the skin because it’s hot, you get 8 make ups as well as cleavage options, freckles on tat layers, hair base layers in dark and blonde with matching brows on the skin, and 5 lipstick layers – you can see the lipsticks added to the base skin on the last pic. So that gives you a lot of make up looks and variations for a great price. I personally think that this is Ashia’s best make up yet, and I am in lust with the peeeenk lippy.
I bought new hair yesterday at Dura, this unisexy style is so hot and perfect for make up pics. I bought a whole slew of styles so you will see more, definitely take your make friends there also as the styles are very Uw and Find Ash looking, so if they are fans, they will be sure to find something they like.

Tiana Tude
We were discussing E-Cigs tonight, it has been over a year since I mentioned them to Ashia and forced a kit down Whimsy’s throat. They are an incredible tool if you can’t just quit, I just quit two years ago next month, but I can imagine that if I had known about these then I would have become a vaper for sure, If you are wondering about them, and not sure where to start, this kit is recommended and looks good too 🙂 HERE.
Skin Fair starts tomorrow, less than 24 hours away, and Tiana is going to make her debut…
Tiana is the last Aere line skin from LeLutka, and the last of the three sister skins, first was Kit then Gem and now Tiana. Tiana is the rebel in the family, the kind of girl that doesn’t ever do the walk of shame, who spends that extra time in bed without a snooze button because nothing happens until she gets there anyway.
She is petulant and pouty and for reasons unknown always manages to get a cab, and never waits in line anywhere. I could go on and on, honestly the moment I saw Tiana I had this whole story line for her in my head, she is a total character, and she is awesome, a really perfect finale to the Aere line of skins.
I decided of course to rock it out with her look, union jack tank from Muism with my favourite cut off jean shorts from Tres Blah. I was all about the Dandy cowboy boots today too, kind of take charge reversal of ‘who’s bed have your boots been under’.
Whimsy had tp’d over to Ameries Naughty tonight and I tp’d after her, seeing these manties and bra I was instantly ‘Yeah Tiana would wear that ” and off I went back to take the body pics lol, in my cowboy boots still of course.
The Tiana pack that is going to release at Skin Fair, is one of the few that will be released over all a sneak pack if you will. Four make ups and a base in the pack, with all the usual fabulous extras, lashes, cleavage, hair bases, brow options in dark and light and eyebags. The other Aere skins are also at the fair and it opens at 3pmSLT tomorrow.

Femme Fatale Fashion
( click to see bigger images )
When you say things like ‘Yo” around Mel there are consequences, this is what we learned today… HERE
Like my new hat? isn’t it cute, in a deathly morbid way,but what else would you wear with a skin tone called ‘Dead”. I am chuffed too with the matching of feet to skin, yay for the Maitreya Gold HUD being so easy peasy. These are the skins about to be released at Red Mints booth at Skin Fair, they are the Frost series and the fantasy aspect is wonderful. I do also like that there is a more subtle version, as well as add on make ups you can get seperately.
Perfect hair for this style hat is the Roxy from Exile, with its brushed to the side look, I had the perfect platform for the hat, without having to do any editing at all – other than actually swapping the hats side, as it originally was on the other, but yay for copy paste.
The dress I am wearing is the new by 24 hours Annie dress, and it is sleek and chic. Definitely perfect for a femme fatale, and so able to add too with accessories and what not, but I left it all about the hat and shoes, and skin, and hair and….

Zoe and the Collective Conscious
(Click images for bigger option)
Whimsy and I talk about Collective Conscious all the time, the fact that SL residents are such a wading pool of ideas and creative streaming…it is no wonder there is often an overlap.
Today I was taking all my pics of skins as the upcoming Vanity Universe annual skin fair is just around the corner, and I realised that I needed to locate the banners. Of course my note cards wouldn’t open so I went in search on Nadja Baxters flickr, and lo and behold there she was in her most recent post wearing the same lingerie I just shot for mine lol…funny part of this though is that it is not a new release, and I had been so behind in my posting that I hadn’t blogged it yet, so I actually did go in search of it in my inventory.
I personally never think it is an issue like some, one of my all round pet peeves is when I see a blogger say that an item has already been seen so they didn’t blog it, or something so crazy as that. Nadja has her readers, I have mine, regardless of feeds and what not, you should never deprive the designer of your take on an item, or the readers for that matter. I can see an item ten times and it can be the 11th that makes me go OMG wants. Feeds were and are only supposed to be tools to make it easier to navigate to the main source of a post, that is one of the main reasons I do a teaser up front, that and the fact that I think the less you put on a feed the lighter the load and memory needed for the feeds to function.
So back to the task at hand, the skin fair starts on Sunday at 3pm, that I am guessing is due to the time difference for Nadja and all of the other people responsible for the fair. It is nice to start later in the day though, it gives everyone that chance to build up momentum. You are going to need it too, there are so many incredible stores this year, and the sim is layed out in a three building stack, which hasn’t really varied from last years, so it will be easy for many to navigate.
One of the many stores about to take part is Tuli, and the breathtaking new release of Zoe will be at the fair, and for all you Tuli fans and future lovers, the skin is superb. There are so many options and variations in the skins packs, you have a bazillion eyebrow colours, and I might be exaggerating but she has gone so far as to include bleached and copper as options.
Zoe has an amazing face and body as usual, and there are other options created on the tattoo layers to enhance your overall look. Freckles, Cleavage, Lashes , Brows , and lipsticks, eyebrow shape and the actual shape that Tuli wears for the ad for the skins promotion, which is copy/mod so you can make changes as you need. This is a lot to play around with, and if you recieved her latest group gift of teeth and beauty spots and so on those can only make it all that more fun…apparently the teeth are still in the store for free.
In all the pics I am wearing Novel, a new style by Elikatira, so pretty are these victory curls that it is vintage love but in such a way as to have a modern twist. It has that half up and then lightly pulled back out of the face look Elika is so good at, make for easy showing of great make ups.
The chair and table I am showing in the pic are from the Chic Limited event Anti Valentine by Cheeky Pea, so comfy with a huge choice of poses. Cheeky Pea is not only named awesome but a great store to explore. But for these you will have to go to Chic Limiteds skybox.
Mark your calender for Sunday and prepare to skin shop like a crazy person….

Bookish
(click images to get larger option )
One of the best things about sales or discounted areas is the chance to pick up accessories you may not consider usually…
Such is the case with COCO’s outlet room upstairs of their mainstore, not an accessory on its own, but an actual piece of a combo that was a MUST HAVE for me. The tie scarf thing I have on is a divine piece and was actually part of a shirt package, but at the discount price you feel like your only paying for the tie and the shirt is a bonus, or vice versa, I grabbed two different coloured ones, but I may just have to go back for more, they are too yum.
Also picked up at the outlet are the gorgeous pinstripe pants, I never saw these when they were out normal like, or I would have bought them then, I am a pinstripe fan forever. They do come with a white belt and all that jazz but they are really easy to mod, but you can of course wear without.
Whimsy came up with an awesome Corporate Bloggers Challenge the other day, of course it was already after I did a post exclaiming how my outfit was great for work, the meany wont let me add those pics either lol. Kidding aside I did intend to go there with this post, but I ended up a bit more PR girl on the go, or whatever more laid back professional girl on the go can look like. Good timing is the new Zoe cropped jacket from Ingenue, layered over the RB Tank from Maitreya and I was good to go.
I am still wearing the Allure with socks, I did take them off but they work so well with the look they went right back on again. The other new hair from Maitreya is Lotte a gorgeous low slung ponytail with a side part. It is beautiful. Speaking of perfect timing, the new Gracie panties just came out for FLF today at Whippet & Buck – more with bras to come in future weeks – which gave me the chance to show off the new PXL skin Linda G3…this skin is not only wonderful looking, but has so many options. Hairbases, freckles, cleavage, lipsticks and eyemake up tattoos, as well as dark and light brows, I am not sure if I am forgetting anything, but you will see them all when you DEMO DEMO DEMO and do not forget the upcoming Vanity Skin Fair that starts this sunday PXL has a booth there, so you can see what is new and current on location as well.
