I was really honored to be asked by Adorkable Peapod to answer some questions for an interview for the blog she shares with TrinityBelle Meriman called Bare SL. I hope you will stop by there and see my answers to her questions. While you visit also read all the wonderful past interviews, some of which you can see the names of in the pic above.

A store that does an incredible array of colours and prints is The Plastik. They also dabble in just about everything, from clothes to skins and accesssories. The accessories being the main focus of todays post, because the jewellery items are truly Must Haves. First though the skin is part of an all in one look, with eyes, ears – elf shaped, and skins with make up and tattoos of freckles. The skin has very strong detailing and an incredible looking stomach, so demo them and see if any of the looks go with yours.

Next we have the clothing, the skirts are the Misfit skirt, which is an a-line skirt with a great look and comes in a huge assortment of prints, from subtle to truly bold. The first top I am wearing is actually sculpted, so no alpha layer or rigging involved, but it fit me so well I didn’t have to edit size wise at all, just had to move it down a bit. The second is the gorgeous Daunting Fate corset, again so many different fabric choices and I went with this awesome Pious look, with crosses of various styles splattered all over it.

The horns are so adorable, probably not the intention, but I love how it is like wearing a fashion sketch. They come with a beaded option as well, and are just so cool to wear. Then comes the incredible Dena’ina Earrings & Collar. These are just amazing. Not only do you get them with silver, gold or black metal rimming, but you also get a base hud for the collar that has 15 amazing textures for the body of the collar. As you can see in the picture the top 15 squares are all the base textures shown. The rest of the pictures are just some of the gemstone texture choices you can purchase, so really no matter what stone setting you go with, you get 45 different necklaces when you change the bases or metals. I will not lie, the second I put it on I took off everything else – and I mean everything, and strutted around our house just loving this collar and incredible earrings.

Not really a perfect match but close enough is the bracelet and ring set that is actually part of the With Love Hunt at the moment by .Shi, so be sure to grab that in your travels. All of the hair worn is by Ploom, and both styles are just fabulous when wanting to keep attention to the right areas of your look.

So almost head to toe in The Plastik today, and if you haven’t been over for a visit of late, then don’t delay because there is so much shopping to do.

New shoes that take me back in time to the 80’s in the best of ways. The Liaison pumps are about to be released at Maitreya in the next few days, (possibly tomorrow) and they come in an abundance of rich colours. On top of the fabulous colour range, they also have four different wear options that make them very versatile from day to night and well into the wee hours.

First off the have the pointed toe pump look down to perfection, with a great steel heel that is nestled inside of the sole. The sole also has four options of colour from the HUD, you have black, red, tan or the default colour of the shoe. Then the shoes via HUD have an option for strap or no strap, and sock or no sock – the sock is more of a legwarmer look, which is so dance fabulous. Then the fourth option is to wear the straps over the socks look, which is just too irresistible to me. There are deep warm colours and vibrant colours that will have to running to them as go to shoes often. The socks option also has a huge choice of colours to choose from, so I took shots with different colours with different shoes, and then some with the straps only and without straps or socks, it was fun, and I always love to show as many options as possible, you never know which one may grab the attention of someone who may have been looking for just that particular colour/combo etc.

I had to revisit some older items with these, and the MAiiKI items are always a fun favourite for looks like this. You may not have been around when this collection launched in SL many moons ago, they still hold their own style wise today and the sets mix up so well with other things. New at this months FaMESHed are the Emma jackets by Baiastice, this jacket has a top included look, which made getting dressed so easy, a great look for the office, and the jacket is just wonderful fit wise over the skirt, I did have to go up a size though to get it over the hips.

Another new item is this divine clutch from Epoque. Epoque and accessories is going to be a very popular match in the next few months, if this bag and the necklace – also worn – are anything to go by. The hair I am wearing and the fabulous bee earrings which I will show again in greater detail, as well as the ring and bracelet are all Bees through the Seasons items. That event is so adorable, so if you have not yet BEEn you should get on over there. The hair I am so excited about, because it is BeetleBones hair, which means that she may do more in the future and more hair is always a big treat for everyone. The bee theme definitely had an influence on my first look.

Skin worn is the Princess skin Renee from the Glam Affair Gatcha machine at The Arcade, another of the really easy to wear always options in the release, so be sure to try your hand at getting this and first date. They are both so pretty.

Marathon DJ Event in Second Life and Real Life Raises Funds for Heifer International

Chicago, IL & The Velvet, Second Life, December 8 & 9, 2012 – What began as a joke 4 years ago has grown into a successful annual fundraiser for Heifer International. A conversation about who had spun the longest set inspired Maht Wuyts of The Velvet, one of Second Life’s® oldest clubs, to attempt a 26.2 hour DJ marathon, called the Mahrathon, a joking reference to his first name.

The first Mahrathon raised around $500 from tips donated by people coming to the club. Last year, for the third Mahrathon, he arranged to DJ at the Star Lounge, a Chicago coffeehouse while spinning at The Velvet, raising funds in both worlds and raised over $1500. This year his goal is $2000.

The Mahrathon starts at 3:48 on Saturday, December 8th and continues until 6:00 PM on Sunday, December 9th. The odd starting time is necessary for the official 26.2 hours that makes this a marathon, or Mahrathon to be precise.

In SL, Wuyts is known for his encyclopedic knowledge of music and his vast collection that he mines for unusual and eclectic sets. Over the last year, he has done a weekly set of music from 1960 to 2012, presenting the best music of each year week after week. Anyone attending the Mahrathon for its entirety would be happy to know there will be no repeats.

With Love Hunt has left the gate strong, followed by FaMESHed and then hot in pursuit we have The Arcade…I know it is way more serious than a horse race, it is Fashion. Sometimes though, and definitely down my end of the planet, the two are in strong partnership with each other, one does not go to the races without looking fabulous.

Another thing about us Aussies, is that we tend to dress exactly like shown in this pic. The other day I was out and about in this look and Gogo thought I was a bit nutty, but then she thinks that pretty much daily I think. But down under we tend to go with warm and snug footwear and very little else at times. Usually though you would see us with Ugg boots, and not these fantastic Mukluks ( the name so reminds me of those things in WOW ) by BOOM for The Arcade. They come in a beautiful range of colours, and it doesn’t matter how many times you go at it, you will love the choices, and you can always give the double colours to your friends, because they will love them too.

Other MUST MUST MUST have items from The Arcade are the Ewing hair by Tableau Vivant. This is their first hair, and OMG I adore the length, the layered cut, and the soft waves that give it an almost dried from the sun appearance. This is again another very familiar look for us. Right now I am trying to find the good things in my head about summer, because seriously at 4am this morning it was 81 degrees and horrible. The skin I have on is also from The Arcade, by Glam Affair. They did a whole slew of new looks on the Renee skin, and this is First Date and so pretty. If you can get your hands on this one, definitely a go to skin for everyday.

The accessories worn on this post are from three stores, the bag is by Sleepy Eddy and is a The Arcade item, the size is a good large, which you can modify to fit your shape. I left it at the default size because I was sitting. The other accessory is the Aviator glasses from Redgrave, these are new mesh items, and have not only the option to sit them up on your head, but also frame options, sizes and lenses, so they are very versatile…and look great on boys and girls. The combination of Aviator shades and these incredible Dog Tags from Mandala was fun…having my top gun moment.

The necklace is really lovely and has incredible detailing. The bracelets and tags are available at FaMESHed. The bracelets come in three options, on both wrists and also have sizes for males or females. I like that a lot about Mandala, that many of their items are unisex and they are always so superbly textured and created.

Lastly the poses I am using are from the Call Me pack of poses that are only 10L during the With Love Hunt at Adorkable Poses. Not only do you get a great selection of poses, but you get the mirrors and a cell phone that is already edited to co-ordinate with each pose…so don’t delay on grabbing those, also get over there now because they also started their FREE pose a day Advent thing they do each year. So every day for 25 days you can come and visit their store and get a free pose.

On the 30th of November the “With love ” hunt is going to begin. This event has been something many look forward to each year, a great group of designers all setting out an item in their store for only 10L. I have seen many of the items that will be available during this hunt event, and they are lovely.

The first item is the ruffle shirt by DCNY. The ruffle shirt actually includes 5 wonderful colours, so this is a definite must have item. A little bird told me that there will be other colour packs available at a later date, so be sure to grab this pack at this great price. It fit perfectly underneath this beautiful mesh dress by Baiastice, also a ‘With Love’ hunt item. The lace overlay look of the texture on this dress, just adds so much to its rich look. Whether worn this way, or on its own, it really is a beautiful dress. The stunning blue, made it so easy to wear with the skin.

The skin is from La Petite Morte, another hunt item. The make up has a bokeh look to it, and I added the eyeliner from Chelle to give the eyes a bit more depth. The make up definitely gives it a winter feel, so a perfect look for the colder months ahead.

Another event about to begin, is The Arcade. This is a Gacha event that was last seen in September/October and was a huge success, this next session will be amazing, and you can see the list of participants HERE . The Arcade will start on the 1st of December, so be sure to visit it often while it is on. The bag I am wearing is from The Secret Store, and is their item for the event…a stunning array of options to get, so pack a lunch and enjoy the event when it starts.

NEW Boots always make me happy. This is my favourite time of the footwear year, because boots are so hot, and these are just gorgeous. The new Snare boots from Celoe have just been released, and they have great detailing and are the perfect height for the fantastic leggings in mesh that I have on from MichaMi.

Because of the name, I went with a rock n roll kind of ambiance for my picture. The earrings and ring are by OverHigh which was a new to me store until the other day. I really like the ring and the earrings , as they are made with a nice tubular styling to them, and you get black and cream versions together in the one pack.

The great sweater top I am wearing is from DCNY. This mesh top has an ample breast shape, and seriously I was starting to get shy in this top standing around looking all fine. It is really great ribbing to the knit and I love the line detailing down the arms and the front. It comes in wonderful colour combinations, and if you wear slink hands, you just need to not wear the wrists for a proper fit.

I mentioned the Bees through the Seasons event in my last post, and it is now underway. The day it opened, Whimsy, Sofia and myself teleported over and spent hours there dancing, and meeting and greeting some new and interesting people. We met a guy called Little, he was hilarious. Whimsy was trying to corrupt him, and he seemed all for it…you have to watch out for that Whimsy Winx. Evion Ember also showed up and danced with us for a while, it was a great time under the large tree amongst all the fabulous bee hives, so be sure to visit.

One of the items that I am wearing from the event is the large bow by Pididdle, there is also an amazing one covered in bees that I wore while dancing, which is a must have. The clothing I am wearing is a mix of The Secret Store, DCNY and a collaboration of The Secret Store and Nyu. The sheer top is is a really beautiful top that has been featured this month at FaMESHed and looks amazing whether with great jeans like the Lean ones from DCNY, or with something a lot dressier.

The dress is also a great look, the shape of it with the beautiful collar detailing makes it a must have. The bell like skirt, and the great colours are more reasons to get this dress. A wonderful collaboration project, I am looking forward to more from these two designers. Worn with both looks is new Jewellery from Cae. This is a brand new store by Caelan Hancroft, and she has been crafting this beautiful Jewellery. What I especially like about the items, is that they look handmade, like in RL handmade, they are uniquely styled and really pretty. There are even metal options with a drop down menu when you click on the items. I also especially like that there are left and right options for the rings and the bracelets which makes getting dressed so much easier.

The hair I am wearing in the pics is the New Effect hair by LeLutka, that has an amazing hair stencil which has been hand-drawn for the hair. This is an on/off option you can use by just clicking on the hair. I love the sleek bob look of the style, and with the stencil it just brings it to a whole new level of fun. The skins I am wearing are from Essences, this is the Maria skin which has 8 make up options, which have some very vivid eye-shadows. I kept the lips bare as the lipsticks were more neon like in some cases, and it was a bit too over the top for the outfits being worn. The eye make-up also has painted on lashes on the upper lids, which just added to the heavyness of my own lashes, so these are definitely more night time looks than everyday wear.

The footwear I am wearing is the recent-ish release from Redgrave. The style has a marvelous cork sole/heel, with the usual mix and match hud features for colour. I showed all the colours the shoes come in, as well as six variations as you can change the texture underneath the foot. These are a great style of shoe, and wearable with just about everything.

As soon as I saw the Ella hair by LeLutka, I knew that I wanted to do something sex kittenish with it. I had a slew of ideas, and then a centerfold idea came to mind. Seeing as it is not that far from the way I have been laying out my pics lately, that seemed a good idea. The bed from Trompe Loeil even though not shown, made a perfect backdrop for the satin sheets look…also perfect was the silver they came in, seeing as I wanted the red on my lips to be the only rich colour in the image.

The hairstyle is divinely sexy, the high backcombed look is something I have always loved, being a big fan of Ann Margaret, Jane Fonda ( as Barbarella) and Priscilla Presley, all women who had great big hair looks in the past, and were such amazing women. Also to note is that there are some amazing highlights in the texturing of this style, which makes the Powder blonde especially platinum looking and so beautiful.

I was going to go with leopard or tiger for my animal print lingerie, but instead reached for the great Zebra print. The deliciosa set has been featured in the past on this blog, but not in this print, so I just had to again because I really like everything about the design and the way it flatters the body. Also what a body to flatter.

This is the NEW about to be released Amberly skin by Glam Affair…not a new body, but still HOT HOT HOT, and the face is even more so. The mouth on this skin is stunning, and the moist gloss effect is outstanding on the lips. There are 12 make up options as well as bare, and there are also freckles and body freckles as well as hair bases. The freckles are a mix of different types and for those looking for the all over redhead kind of look, these are definitely going to hit the spot. It will be out over the next few days, so be sure to try on the DEMOS when it is released, the mouth is just divine.

Every once in a while I put out a random challenge for people to comment on blogs. In the past it has been 10 comments in one day, but some find that difficult, so I changed it. I approached Katya Valeska with the challenge, and she was kind enough to put it on the SL Bloggers Support blog, spreading the word through the group, and letting people know of this idea. I was over the moon when I couldn’t sleep the other night, opened up Iheartsl and there at the top of the feed was this post by Sophee Mojo about it, I had not seen the SLBS post as of yet, so I was so excited to see Sophee do this.

I wrote:

This would hopefully turn into an ongoing practice. The idea is that ten times a week you comment on a blog post by another Second Life blogger. Each comment should be on a different blog, and should show support for what it is that bloggers do. A small comment such as ‘ great pics’ or ‘ really loved the styling’ or ‘ I found that information useful’ depending on what type of post it is, can really bring a smile to the faces of bloggers. If for some reason the blogs you choose do not have commenting available, then consider commenting on their Flickr pictures.

 We all know how much effort and passion goes into blogging, so with that in mind, go forth and comment your hearts out.

I do hope that you take on this challenge, and even if you don’t do ten a week, just one could really have an impact on someones day. It can be months of radio silence, and I have heard comments made to the effect of “does it matter that I blog at all ?” or “Do people like what I do ?” I think it is incredibly important to let people know that it is, and that it does matter. Without blogs Second Life can be a very big and overwhelming grid, and with the help of bloggers and their insight and tips, tricks and tutorials…it can definitely make it a little more manageable. I love when I get comments, and I love hearing from people in world about my blog, sometimes the IMs are to help find something I blogged, or just to ask questions about blogging, but it is because of blogging that those IMs come my way and I am grateful for that.

Now onto the fashion. This Electra hair is one of the three NEW styles released by LeLutka. I was lucky enough to have this one early, so for a week or so, off and on, I was hiding away in my sky platform loving it.. The longer I wore it, the more I became smitten by it, and especially the fact that the baby tendrils at the front are wonderful, if you also wear the hairbases that have similar tendrils at the hairline.

The style can be worn with many items, but I was definitely thinking of the Boho Baby dress from DCNY when planning the post, and it came out a great look. The dresses have incredible texture work, and the colours and vibrancy of the print, really make them something special. The solid contrast details add a lot to the look too, and I was especially excited that the blue was a great match with the shoes I chose to wear by Celoe.

The jewellery I have on is a mix of Epoque, which I am excited to see doing more mesh…with this great shard necklace and earrings on the left. It comes in five different colours, and this obsidian one was just perfect. The ring I have on is from LaGyo and is part of the fantastic Bees through the Seasons event that starts tomorrow…the designer list for this event is fantastic and the build is just stunning, so be sure to set aside the time to attend that, over and over again, as it will run for a month. The long silver necklace is one of the single strand versions of the Santa Fe necklace by Maxi Gossamer, that is at FaMESHed this month, so be sure to get over there before it ends, which is really soon.

I got a sneak peak at Bees through the Seasons, and it is such a charming build. I took a pic of some of the items that will be part of the event, not all of them as not everyone is set up yet. There is also a guest book when you enter and you can leave a message, which is so cute. I also could not resist a pic of the sign when you land, not sure if you can read the last line well enough, but it made me snicker, as that is what my friend did the first time he ever showed us SL via his camera.

In this post I am wearing the Geanna skin by Izzies. I had not featured this skin yet, don’t know how it managed to slip past me, but it really is a great looking skin. Be sure to try on the demo, and take full advantage of all the wonderful tattoo layer options for lips, freckles and eyeshadows that the skin has.

Visiting so many events lately, it is so great to see such marvelous home-ware items having an equal standing with fashion. In the past years, fashion and home-wares were often different ends of the grid. Now with the events mixing that up. We now get to see both under the one roof, and as a fan of both, I am very pleased.  The home-wares items in this post are both from Collabor88 by Cheeky Pea and Pilot, two beautiful sets based on the painted desert theme.

I have combined the two into the one setting, and even if you are not planning on doing up your home at this time, these are definitely pieces you will want to grab. The sweetwater set is the actual building structure that is so perfect and quaint, it has an open roof with beautiful beam work, that will create wonderful shadows – there are also shadows baked into the texture.Then you have the bed which is either pg or adult pose packed…as well as other bits and pieces to decorate either this home or any.The Larkin set by Pilot has the gorgeous hanging chair, which is beautifully shaped and also there is a great vase and cabinet that comprises of that set.

The colours of the sets together work perfectly in sync, and worked as a great backdrop for the slip dress I am wearing from Baiastice that is about to be released at the Fair event starting tomorrow…the inspiration for the slip was 3am as every store at the event has a specific time of the 24 hour day.

Also new and at an event is the Sophia skin by PXL, it has been a long time since I have blogged a PXL skin, and this one is a pre-release for the full line. So to get it in either of the two tones, you will have to visit the Around the World event. The skin comes in four lip colours and eye make up and freckles are on additional tattoo layers. The skin looks really nice on, and you can even now purchase add on features such as freckles, beauty marks and hairbases. In the Sophia set too you even get a buzz cut hair base tattoo, for a shaved head look, which I think is very cool for those half hair do styles that may not come with one. So if you cannot wait until the full release, or at least want to try it out early, then DEMO DEMO DEMO at the event.

The beautiful hair I am wearing is from Exile, and does come with amazing rigged flowers as an attachment, but I have saved those for another post, this hair is so pretty, so definitely grab that too.
