Rock the kasbah
Trying the beautiful new skin by Glance, this is Emanuela, a darker tone skin that has a very sophisticated look to her. I am not one for changing ethnicity too often, but when a new skin so pretty comes out, you have to share the info with the masses. There are many make ups in the range, this is just a taste, and don’t forget to DEMO DEMO DEMO.
Bare Rose has come up with the goods again, such a gorgeous release is the Mimo set, the tops and harem pants on the left in various colours are just stunning. The top is going to become a firm favoutire for many, it has a low back with even the extra detailing of a single clasped strap as though a bikini top underneath, it is just perfect and the sculpted base to it is awesome and so easy to fit. If harem pants are not your thing – Mel said if they are Harem pants they should have more than one girl in them lol – , I went to show it with the Anouk pants from Michami, similar in style but less flared out, then also some new Nora highwaist shorts from Addict, not showing the highwaist option yet, but you can see the cute rolled legs look so fun for upcoming warmer weather.
All of the luxurious locks are from Exile, absolutely stunning styles, in length and waves. The shoes are all adorable soft leather slip ons by Teefy.

A pirate life for me
Like anyone I love a great deal on incredible clothing, and this one was certainly a surprise. Not a day deal or a hunt, not involved with anything else but withing their own store. Ok maybe a little bit of a hunt in the fact that the colours are spread within the store in such a way that you cannot help but admire all the glorious clothes you have most likely admired for years. I ended up walking out of there not only with 4 different colours at an incredible price each, but also another dress I had coveted forever, so it may have not ended up costing me so little, but it got me there and I loved it.
The outfit is the Lacey Lace mini dress, which is more of a two piece than a whole dress, but the style of this is so cool it can go from work to play so easily, and in the white and lighter brighter colours to choose from, can easily be considers resort date wear. Nicky Ree fans will already know that for the rest of January the set is 50L and there are so many colours to choose from. Large black boxes with red ribbons all throughout the store, and seriously it was fun tracking down the many colours and admiring everything in there. The skirt comes in either system or micro, and it is such a lovely mix and match item.
Adding the pashmina belt from Veschi that I tinted red, and some Jewelry, I was all gypsy lovin or about to join the Pirate King, in the new scarab hair from LeLutka, also new in the hair department is Charlize the banana bun as Thora calls it. A stylish updo for work professionalism or formal affairs, and by affairs I don’t mean being naughty, or you might mess up your hair. I am watching reruns of Dawsons Creek and it is up to that part where he finds out his Mum is cheating …dun dun dunnnn, seriously though as much as his parents were hot for eachother , the dad is smkin hot and the mum whatever.
The earrings I am wearing are the incredibly stunning Statement earrings from FuLo who will be opening a main store soon, cannot wait these are HOT. More of the beautiful Tasia skins make ups, so many to choose from and again all those different cleavage options, hair bases, and bonus lipsticks on tattoo layers…so much to love.

Not pants, trouserrrrrrs
When something feels so wrong, it can end up soooo right. I love fate, how a day can be a disaster because people just make you feel all heartbroken and stuff, and the next day starts off golden with new people changing that, and slipping right into the space the others left behind. Mind you I cannot tell a lie, once over the hurdle of destruction that started yesterday, it ended up on a high actually, and I am looking forward to seeing where all the things it brought forth turn into. Face time makes me happy, actually spending time looking at the person I am chatting too, feels so much better than the constant IM’s, it is what made SL so inviting in the first place over other chat programmes and has to happen more often.
One thing that kept happening to me yesterday was admiration for my pants, true story, I was out and about and three times got asked where the different pairs I was wearing came from, sure enough both styles came from Mon Tissu, and were their latest release this week. The twill trousers up the top pic are gorgeous, the fact that they are also called trousers make my heart go pitter patter. The detailing on them is wonderful and the colours they come in are perfect. The sweetheart tank is beautiful with lace trim and such amazing fabric it is like soft velvet, so pretty and perfect to wear with pants or a boho like skirt perhaps.
Have you seen Lou Lou ? well you have now. The jeans in the second pic are called Lou Lou, and if you are old enough you will remember those fragrance commercials too. Great thing about these jeans, again complimented, is that they come with both pants cuffs options, often it is varying types of straight cuff, like flared or bootfit etc, but in this case you get the rolled or straight and both are excellent, as well as the denim washes chosen, light grey and used were my choices, so nice.
Both looks I finished off from just the tanks underneath, even though the tanks on their own are so cute. The shrug on the left is the latest from Riddle, I love that she has gone into focusing on some seperates lately, and this shrug has such lovely sleeves, making it a little more standout than others. Mayden couture comes out with this amazing racing style jacket, and it comes with a variety of bases, with each collar cuff colour, so neat, and the pink is Yum. I went with the blue though because the make up on the new Tasia skin by UnBra is HOT HOT HOT.
A billion different cleavage options – exaggerating – and brow and hair base choices all come with the abundance of really rich make ups in the UnBra range, I will be showing more of those later. The glorious hair I am wearing is from Clawtooth by Clawtooth, do not despair ladies and lovers of all things hairy and vintagey, the Clawtooth main store has moved to LuLa temporarily until tableau is finished remodelling. I love the straight but so thick locks of both styles, and the bangs are just bonus, either sleek and tucked or thick and bushy, it is all win.
I am using Frooti poses today, and decided to go with the laying down pose up top, I don’t shoot often enough laying or sitting, so gave it a go, and it came out really cool, thanks Frooti.

Long and Lush
To be inspired it awesome, often is the case that those seeking inspiration can get discouraged and lose their way, not such the case with todays items. Nearly everything I am wearing was inspired by something, and they followed their instincts and produced it perfectly.
First off the ChiC Management event is starting tomorrow and has a group of incredible designers under one skybox roof, with a theme. The items are beautiful and seriously the skirt from Berries Inc is now one of my top ten favourite skirts of all time. BUT not how it was created lol, due to some serious viewer issues on my end the white frills that are supposed to exist between each layer at the back did not rez for yonks, but I fell so in love with it that way, that I took copy and edited them away. The crisp military look of this Amalia skirt is just divine, and even though I could have mixed it with some serious LeLutka Military stuff from their last release, I went further back to an old fav blouse.
The grecian dress on the right is all Royal Blue love, she has been creating up a storm lately both in RL and SL, her poor sewing fingers are aching. So that she has been able to do anything for us is a bonus. The skirt comes on two attachment points, but also has an alpha layer to take away your bum, so that your ao wont effect the look.
Now the Hair OMG it is about to be released in moments and is the new styles from LeLutka and they are STUNNING Must Haves, omg so sexy and just totally addictive wearables. The scarf hair Scarab is texture change and both styles are just awesome. You can also get them on Marketplace if you hurry and want to get them before anyone at the store lol.

Ugg boot DNA
Over the years, well all my life actually…I have been a total American Fan, all the way U.S.A. Then you came along and tried to take our Ugg boots. Then the doona, that was just not on, seriously the only time in 38 years I have been cranky with you has been over those two all Australian items, you can have the hillshoist, I don’t much care – I leave my clothes on it too long and they fade – but to actually go out and try and trademark what has been ours forever was just RUDE. But we won them back, and I forgive you.Now those of you that have them, or have worn them, can never truly appreciate the Ugg boot if you aren’t, or haven’t lived in Australia for a long time. You can think you do, and you can get close to being right, but nope, it is ours and it is something that just runs through every Aussies DNA. For a start they went out from the mid 80’s until the late 90’s and you cannot convince a city dwelling Aussie otherwise. Indoor wear only was the Ugg, an expensive slipper, that allowed you to run out in the middle of the night and put out the trash when no one could see you in them. One night a house mate and I drove to the local chook shop for dinner and once out of the car I realised my feet were wayyyy too comfy, looked down and screamed, in the next split second there were two Uggs flying across the carpark because bending down too pull them off would have taken too long, I had to kick and flick and fast. If anyone had seen me I’d have died, and if anyone had been in the car park to see me retrieve them, I would have left them there forever.
But I cannot tell a lie, they do so have their practical uses, and now that it is ok to wear them in public again, they are great for ducking out to the shop because you just tore your last pair of stockings before a night out, so it’s a quick dash and slide into franklins and back to the house to put them on with whatever 6inch heels your going to actually go out in. I am not exagerating about the slide, Ugg boots and polished supermarket floors can be way dangerous, and super fun if you have good balance. There are some sexy looking Uggs out there now, and in SL that is no different.
My favourite Uggs of the moment are the ones by Bedlam an Aussie owner so true blue for sure, these have so many texture and colour options that they can co-ordinate with all your clothing, and even if you are frocked up for a dance, well depending on where you are, these are great for getting too and from without blistes because your new shoes haven’t been properly broken in yet. Speaking of frocked up, the second pic is me in the Queensland Party Frocks that are part of the Extend a Helping Hand fundraiser for our flood victims up there…these are by fellow Aussie Whippet & Buck they are so pretty and the fat pack is a steal, had to have it. The really pretty wold necklace around my neck is showing off a beautiful deep green leaf, and comes in both Male and Female options, also part of EAHH.
In the top pic I am wearing a mix of Mon Tissu, Riddle, Whippet & Buck and Fishy Strawberry, the Geisha belts from FS are so cool, they are an older item but do not date in their style and quality. The fun shorts by W&B are so cute, you can tell it’s summer down under with these being released, and even though I wore with the new Riddle leggings, they are still so fun and playful. The park ave shirt from Mon Tissu has a lovely line and length with curled up sleeve caps and its own waist belt not worn, but so cute for other occasions, I have actually worn the belt in a different post.
Another New skin by YS & YS this is Megan and such a different face than usual, I love the make up in this one, and its another that comes with matte lipsticks, you can either buy seperate or included, as well as new eyeshadow packs that match a few of the newer skins. The hair is also older from LeLutka, but I tell you what the styles about to come out will have you screaming for more more more.

Extend a Helping Hand II
Today I am wearing beautiful clothes, with stunning accessories, skins and hair. They all deserve to be praised and talked about as I usually would. But I don’t feel worthy of the right words today, I have read Newdolls eloquent post about how it feels to be up there in Queensland right now, and anything I say will just seem forced, but please do go and Extend a Helping Hand whichever way you can, whether it be purchasing an item, dropping some lindens in a donation kiosk or adding your own items to sell, Sanura Sakai is letting people add throughout the event.
My heartfelt prayers go out to those who are in the area, as well as those that have family or friends there, it is a scary time right now in Australia.

Extend a Helping Hand
Over the years in world I have seen Australians pull together in support of international charity and events without hesitation, no matter what the cause we try and do as much as we can, when we can. Well now we are going to ask for you to Exstend a helping hand. In Queensland they are suffering through floods of outrageous destruction, and it is summer for us, so we were not prepared for anything like it – not that you ever can be.
Sanura Sakaii of the store Sanu that adorable one near Scribble, has gotten together an incredible amount of people to organise an event starting on the 11th of this month, and anything you can do to help is appreciated. More info can be found at her blog HERE …there are also donation boxes around SL already I have one at the landing point at The Deck , every little bit can help.

Derby Girl
The other week when I did the Ballgowns and Ballgags post I alluded to my next mixed theme. Mel of course coming up with it, but to my surprise there is not one of the items on marketplace at all. Now this is bizarro world to me, because I would assume this would have been made dozens of times,but either the spelling of the listings are wrong, or google can’t spell, because I checked my spelling twice just in case.
His theme was Lederhausen and roller skates, no kidding it was, and such a fun and frollicky idea too. But alas no lederhausen, and I couldn’t handle tping all over the place, so I improvised and then changed completely. But to my surprise also Mel was the one that found the awesome Rollerskates I am wearing that are actually also scripted to be iceskates, an all in one pair that has its own hud to change colours of boots, wheels, laces, and warmers, all so fabulous and the price is fantastic.
The skates come with their own AO and they are so easy to use, not only do they look great, but the all in one is a wonderful space saver. The railing I am leaning against is the latest from Diesel Works, the railing comes in both three piece arch shape or straight , the fun thing about it as soon as I saw it was that you could build your own rink lol. The style is very stylish, it could also work on a ship, on a balcony or even a runway… all so much fun and great poses.
The hairstyles I am wearing are the other two released on the weekend by LeLutka, again anime inspired and lots of fun, I especially love the sweep up high front of the Pam style. Claire by Tuli is the skin I am wearing, another recent release, and be sure to check out the new build over at the Journey Sim, Tuli has worked hard on it as usual, great changes to many sims at the moment with the new year.
In the top pic I am wearing the white loose shirt from Mr Poet, such a nice casual look, and just the right side of sexy being a mans shirt and all, the closes I could think for the lederhausen was the shorty overalls from Ivanka Akina, but then I decided last minute to go with the denim shorts from the same store. I stopped by Bubble yesterday and picked up this fun ruffled bodysuit that works so well for skating, and adding a shrug from sn@tch for added warmth with all that ice to skate on.

Rock Star
Sometimes you just have to bring out your inner RockStar. These outfits are way fun in that regard, especially the one on the far right, the Jade set allows for mixing and matching with other items, and what is not to love with the individual pieces of it. I love the jacket and pants, and can totally see using the belt for other looks.
A great pair of heels for this look are the open toed backless ankle boots from Adam n eve, they are called New Yorkers, and I can totally see these babies strutting up 5th. They come with a hud that allows for change of skin tone, also allows for change of nails and the fun beads laced up the back.
With all these looks I couldn’t resist wearing Tokyo, the latest hair release from LeLutka, inspired by it’s namesake and probably way too many hours kicking peoples bums at Tekken , this style is a frenzy of kick bummedness – yes that is a word, coz I say so. IN the 80’s high ponies were the craze, higher the better, it was almost like a free facelift for older women lol. This style is so excellent, very anime runway inspiring, and seeing as I have been watching hundreds of hours of anime lately, I am deeming myself a professional on the matter lol.
The skin I am wearing is Julia, from YS & YS what I really like about the make ups on this skin is that you get matte lips as well as the glossy in most of the make ups, and they are excellent as soptions, you can also actually purchase the lipsticks on their own in matte, as they go with a range of the newer skins. All of the excellent add ons that are so usual with YS & YS freckles layers, cleavage options and hair bases.

War war is stupid
Elikatira released new hair the other day, and the style is one that works as both a professional pulled back look, as well as an adorable youthful style.I really enjoy the colours of Elikatira’s range, there is something sun touched about this one, even though a brown it has the makings of a blonde.
I was having an 80’s flashback with the look today, tulle and military looks, what more can one fashionista over 30 ask for.The skirt is tres fab because of its solid sculpted structure underneath, mixed with the whirly flexi tulle above. The jacket made me giggle, because I imagined what I would get medals for, I have in the past seen such things with their own giggle worthy info, but these are left sleek and shiny and up to your own imagination. I know Whimsy deserves a medal for trying to save all the Paper Couture shoes while they burned Tableau to the ground earlier this week, that was a hoot…you can see some pics of that on my flickr.
This is definitely a fun and frivolous outfit, and I am looking forward to more fun from LeLutka in the future, there is a definite slant towards mixed aesthetics coming from over there of late, yay for 2011.
