Keeping Calm
I love when creators use elements of Second Life in their work, something that makes sense only in SL but can make you chuckle or empathise a lot. I remember watching the movie “The Castle” and when the lawyer was fighting with the photocopier, everyone in the cinema related to it – well those of us that have ever had to use one in a work situtation. That is what this Neon Sign by The Loft is like, ‘Keep Calm and Reset Scripts’ we can all relate to the feeling of panic when something scripted doesn’t work, and all the flapping until your brain kicks in and you realise you can just reset it and it will work again. I think this sign needs to be prominant in many stores in SL, just so customers know it is an option.
Anyone that has ever read my blog for any amount of time over the years, will know that I have much love for Hat/Hair. This latest style from LeLutka is a stunning style, sophisticated and just spot on perfect for the upcoming seasons. The hat has a texture change option of six colours, and while this colour was not originally my first love, it went so perfectly with the leather leggings by Emery. I am so in love with the two nude colours of champagne and provence.
The belted blazer I am wearing is by Fashionably Dead, it is featured at this months Collabor88. It has fabulous wide shoulder pads, very 80’s and there are some incredible metalic colours available. I was actually really torn with buying the black or the silver, but decided I will get more wear out of the black, and definitely more combination options.
The mid feet wearable Ankle Booties style shoes from Essenz are their New York shoes, so fierce and perfect for a pants wearing look. The zipper is available in silver or gold, and I should have worn the gold, because of the zipper on the beautiful clutch by Ison, but I was having a rebelious moment….If after all these years we can wear blue and green together, and brown belts with black etc, then I can use silver and gold together.
I have removed my head for the first time in months, it took me some time to get used to seeing my default face, and worth it to have a romp around in the Pink Fuel Group Gift skin for this month – if you are not in the group, you better hurry. I wore it with one of the luscious lipsticks that Pink Fuel makes in a glossy red – wearing the with teeth visible option. I have been meaning to wear the Pink Fuel skins for some time, as they released Physique appliers with many different options of stomach and breasts, which is very cool, especially for those that like a more athletic body look. You have the options of Regular, Regular + Small Chest, Athletic, Athletic + Small Chest, Ripped , Ripped + Small Chest and Curvy. Great options, and now I just have my fingers crossed that Pink Fuel will eventually release Visage head appliers too, I would love to see her skins on the Slink Head as well.
