Date Night
Wow the weekend flew past, I don’t even know what we did, I know I turned SL 4 that’s about it. I do know though that I introduced Whimsy to the dark side, now that she has a WoW account we have been killing things and such, and to find her now I have to go looking there. I have also been reading a lot more lately, and a lot of what I read is total rubbish, I am the first to admit it. But I enjoy it and that is the main thing.
I am looking forward to this weekend though, as it will be our celebration of The Deck being around for just over a year, and many of the designers that have stores there are going to be giving gifts over the weekend, so I will enjoy getting to see many people come back and revisit The Deck…it is amazing how fast the year has gone. I also cannot wait to see what will be given as gifts, it will be like birthday pressies for everyone, so exciting.
The Larin skirt by Zaara is so beautiful, it isn’t just because of it’s highwaistedness, or the beautiful textures, but more so to do with the incredible workmanship of the prims. The creating of proper draped looking alpha textures; without losing to alpha glimmers, or any of the other things that limit the true beauty of SL creation. The prim work is so smooth and fits to the contour of the body seamlessly, I haven’t had to resize or edit in anyway and yet can barely even see where the skirt meets the glitch pants.
What I think is an absolute shame though, is that the Larin belt and cinch part of the skirt are not separate… I think that personally the texture of that part of the skirt is wonderful, and it is such a shame to be not able to wear it over other items. I wish Zaara would get those files out, erase all that is not the cinched part and make it in many more colours on all layers, I think that could even liven up the skirts for many that wore them to death on release, there are print ones that if the upper portion was in the colours of the pattern may make an interesting combo…or even if the thin belts on the same bases were different, imagine the ivory skirt with a red belt or turquoise and so on, MORE BELTS please Zaara .
I went with three different looks, these for me are perfect early evening to wherever the night takes you looks. Something that you feel comfortable in, but extremely feminine and stylish. The perfect Date night look.
Recently Whippet & Buck (gosh I love that store) had out some bustiers in solids, that previously had been print only…they were part of the 50L friday, but if they are out now as a regular priced item and you didn’t get them, go get them now, well worth it. They make the perfect balance for extending a look like this one, into a dressier look, or as a modesty covering such as in the second pic.
I adore the Ontible dress from Le Lutka and this is the first time I have actually worn it with the sleeves, as previously after release I never did. Looking back HERE I realise I have never worn it the way it comes in the box lol. Loving layers, wearing the bustier from W&B with the shirt layer of the actual Ontibile dress that just tucks up under the breasts, and still having the room for the jacket layer of the skirt, that is total win.
I hope you have been noticing my beautiful new skin, this is the latest release from UnBra. Mayara is a gorgeous skin with not one, not two but FOUR cleavage options. This skin goes all out on accomodating the needs of all. With the beautiful body work, and I am totally happy that there are different cleavages, but also hair bases, and as far as going all out to show you the major details of the product there is included an image showing the RGB value of the skins, not only does this benefit for shoes, but also when tinting gloves for nails.
There are enough make ups in this skin line to please everyone, actually I could do with about twenty or so more, but it definitely covers from day to night and a little bit of fantasy thrown in for good measure.
The poses are the new poses from /Geez by Grazia Horwitz, she recently reopened her pose store during pose fair, and has been creating poses for men and women ever since, so make sure you check it out.
Now speaking of tinting feet, Maitreya has recently updated their Shanti and Esprit -XTD shoes, so if you go to the redelivery terminals in their Maitreya Gold store you can press the machine and get the updated versions. The updates have less scripts and more win, with the fat pack version having an all in one click-able pair that is great for fast changing, as well as V2.0 options getting rid of the invisi prim look.
Further updates will follow, but make sure you get your Shanti and Esprit XTD as soon as you can.

Fudge
I was feeling chocolatey tonight, has to do with having a headache probably…when all else fails crave something that will make it worse lol.
A few weeks ago G’field sent out some boots as a group gift, they were so pretty I had to go and grab some more, in wearable for me colours. I really like how they set up their shoes/boots, in mini packs of tones that work together at a saving, as well as being able to get in singles or a megapack. These are so lovely with everyday fashion, but have that total steampunk Victorian look down pat, that if you tend to go for theme dressing, they will come in handy for sure.
Some newness and older pieces mixed together. The League Thermal collection has been added to recently, and if you didn’t give it a go the first time, you should so totally go back and rethink it. The textures on these pieces are just so snuggly, and the skirts and tops mix so well together with other pieces, as shown here with the new Early morning cardigans by Fishy Strawberry. The cardigans come with or without shirt underneath in black, but I went for both with and without but with the added turtleneck in cashmere by BOOM.
The billy denim shorts are another new item from FS and they do come with a belt, but I opted for without this time around. The great thing about the belt though is that it comes in scripted or MOD versions which is just awesome.
I am a big fan of the clothing pallette of Miel, the colours they stick too work so well when blending their own items together, which just work so beautifully… but then you can also intersperse them with other items from elsewhere along the same spectrum. Such was the case with the newish Urbanity Camo high waisted skirt. The top from the Tulip set of Miels went so well with the Camo skirt I was very happy with the blend.
make the most of the cooler days, because everyone is going to be cranky with the heat, and all of us down here are going to be freezing in the cold, and yeah yeah it doesn’t get that cold according to you lot down here, but it doesn’t mean we don’t suffer and complain :p.

Elegance
I miss the days when we used to wear a gown at least once a week in Second Life, where did those events go? did people get busier or leave? I know that we often talk about those days gone by, and I do know that people do still go out dancing and on dates in Second Life, and thankfully because of that we still get creators making such beautiful items for us to wear and enjoy.
As soon as I saw the latest hair release from Maitreya I was so glad that I did not already shoot the Nadera Gown the other day when showing other DCNY items…my bloggers fate I guess, because the hair and gown go hand in hand together.
The stunning french twist hairstyle is so incredibly beautiful and yet you could easily wear it to the office as well…a tight updo such as this is always a crowd pleaser, and this one definitely had me at hello, as Mel loves updo’s and he really likes Maitreya hair textures as he thinks they look so soft and pretty.
The Nadera Gown was another item shown at the fashion show recently, that time in a gorgeous navy blue, all the colours are as breathtaking as each other…so whichever one draws you in you will be more than happy. The plunging back with the crisscross lacing is stunning, and the fishtail bottom just divine. Make sure you have a look at this gown and all of the other beautiful formal and semi formal items at DCNY when you are next in need of something so beautiful.

For the Boys – Stuff like that there
I was so excited to be able to blog the pieces that I have on today, but it wasn’t until I was up on my VR Studio stand that I realised what it was that made me so fond of the pieces as a whole. If you have never seen the movie For the Boys starring Bette Midler and James Caan you have done yourself a disservice. Not only is it incredibly music and comedy, but an emotional ride over many decades. I myself have seen it probably half a dozen times, and wish now I had a copy on hand, because I would enjoy a good sunday sobfest.
Not only is the title relevant for the looks, but also because most of it is just that, for the boys. All of the clothing except for the obvious lingerie pieces are by Casa Cheerno, a menswear store that I have enjoyed watching ever since they graced us at Hair Fair a while back. Even then trying on all the hair, I just had to find a style that was wearable for girls too.
Well today I am giving the clothing a run around town, and I tell you what you would have to pry the clothing from me if it was RL and some guy wanted his stuff back. The sweaters are just gorgeous, the fabric choice that you know is totally rocking for that kind of overstretched cowl neck look. The pieces are scripted for resizing and a few shrinks and a tiny tweak with the rotate and push down and forward, and I was good to go fit wise.
Now if you had seen me in world yesterday you would have possibly seen me in the black combination, because I was so rocking that all day and night. The Olimpia wide legged pants from LeLutka are so versatile and stylish. I really like how the folded top of them looks to be a part of the sweater itself, for a bit of an extra smoosh.
The hat is adorable, it comes studded or not and again totally rocking out my inner Bette in that, I even went with red hair for that me without thinking. The other accessory of mention is the Sunglasses from Casa Cheerno as well, they have a great shape and come studded or not also, full sculpted and a great overall everyday style, but very sleek and upmarket style wise.
The second look has given me the chance to wear the gorgeous new lingerie as outerwear pieces by Maitreya, released earlier today. It is always way too long between clothing releases from Maitreya, and these would have to be some of the best work Onyx has done IMO they are so beautiful constructed, and so much thought went into the collection as usual, and I know Onyx has wanted some lingerie that you can wear with lots of looks in the store for a long time.
Traveling downwards to the new Allure shoes with Tights also by Maitreya Gold. There are three types you can choose to buy, the bare ones having the beautiful prim feet and toenails to tint with hud etc, or the Allure Socks version which has ankle length socks in an abundance of colours, and then lastly the version I have on with tights, not only stockings but also knee highs which look adorable and I have to control myself from not wearing with everything.
The open toed with socks look is so retro disco diva I just love it. You even get a full leggings version as well, so fun…cannot wait to see what people do with these outfits wise.
Skipping across to my pants, OMG these pants also from Casa Cheerno are just amazing looking. Now I have to tell you the pants aren’t full covering up top, but that is what makes them even hotter, the finish on them is wonderful, they don’t show too much bum cleavage just the right amount. The pinstripe is excellent and faint enough to be stylish and not too patterny looking, but it is the cuffs that are my favourite as one leg has the most gorgeous button detailing you can see in the pics. They even have creases under the bum for a realism you don’t realise you miss until you see it. I LOVE THESE PANTS.
The hair I am wearing is the second style I mentioned the other day by Tiny Bird, the hair is loosely braided at the back and has a semi french braid without being one, look to it.
No more talking….get thee to the shopping.

The One Days
When I was little I wanted to be Ann Margaret, I also wanted to be Doris Day, Sophia Loren and most of all Gidget. To be honest, I think I wanted to be all the women of the silver screen, at one time – until I read a book by her housekeeper – I even wanted to be Marilyn Monroe, seriously that book ruined that, I have never been able to enjoy her since reading that book * McSadface. There is just some stuff you should never know about your heroes.
I used to watch a show called Time Tunnel, it also starred the actor that played MoonDoggy in Gidget, probably why I wanted to BE Gidget lol. That is him on the right Click to see . With the items being shown today, I definitely would need a Time Tunnel, with the outfits being from decades apart, but both have definitely been featured in small and large ways ever since, there is one hit wonder fashion, and then there are timeless classics, and both of these looks are classics.
Tres Beau as a store is a bit like that, as I have mentioned before in a past post, the store has been around for many years in SL and with the creations forever flowing, I am sure it will be around for many more. At the moment there is a sale for some items, one which is the gorgeous Daffodil set I picked up earlier today. The items that are on sale are in a separate section, there is a TP board at the entrance to the Main Store, so you cannot get lost.
The Daffodil set comes with the hat, purse and pearls, which adds even more to the outfit, and as you can see I wore the pearls again with the second look. It is such a beautiful full skirted dress and there are other floral prints as well as a divine check I may have to go back for before the sale ends.
The hair I am wearing in that pic is from Magika, the latest Linda hair, so pretty as a ponytail, but with the braided bangs adding a lot more charm to a common style. I am really loving not only the style of hair, but the colours in which Magika does their releases now, they really are enjoyable in their own right.
The second look is the most amazing flapper style dress I have ever seen, RL or SL. Ok well maybe 1920’s styled is more descriptive. The colours and texture are just incredible. It even comes with an adorable cloche hat, which in the picture I am holding, because I wanted to wear the latest hair by Tiny Bird instead of a more traditional kiss curls look. It is called Two Weeks and is one of two styles just released, both are braided and both are so beautifully girly.
If trying to match some shoes to this dress I would look no further than the Ixkin in champagne, the colour works so well with the feathery falls of the dress. I wish I had somewhere to wear this dress too right now, instead of just my posestand, but one day I will dance in it, it is just one of those incredibly beautiful sets you just have to have for the ‘one days’.

Hey Jean
Enough looks for a week. I have been doing some other things with Whimsy all week and it has been exciting. But really wanted to take the time to put together a whole lot of different looks featuring one or two items all the way through.
In the first pic I am featuring hair from Magika, her latest releases are just stunning, Sabina has totally nailed Sculpted hair and I am so looking forward to seeing what she has in store for us in the future. I also would love to see more of the wavey styles such as Kelly on the right, that style is super sexy, and those waves are perfect.
The latest shoes from Orange Creations are really pretty, with their strappyness and really nice colours. I especially like the option to change the straps to brown or black, and played on that throughout the post. The presets for skin are very helpful as well as nails and size options, the HUD works really well, I did have to move mine though as it took off my VR Studio HUD and that just won’t do.
When I last went to BP* I just about threw myself at the wall to get the adorable cropped denim jacket, it is so cute, makes you feel all little and stuff. Not only was it perfect to wear with the Jeans version of the Melanie shoes, but the Jules skirt by Maitreya matched in denim so well I was stoked.
I also wanted to wear the jeans texture with something a little dressier, so the vintage dress from Niavi was perfect, I hope Zoe is making lots more clothing, her style is fabulous, and her talent can only get better. This dress is simple and yet perfect for date night.
Whimsy and I went exploring the other day, and I came across Mikan. I haven’t to my knowledge been there before, and the hair is just gorgeous, especially the one in the middle which I couldn’t get enough of, the texture the curls, it has that straight from the surf dried by the sun look about it I love.
All three wonderful styles are from there, and the one on the left which is incredibly striking was only 1L and a gift hair on the floor near the lucky chairs. The latest releases from Fri.day remind me of Canimal and her trip to the UK, when she came back she did a huge punk themed release, and this one totally reminds me of the mod girls of the 80’s.
The pic in the middle should have a blouse but I couldn’t resist the without it look, but still keeping the collar and tie, and how awesome does the Byzantine Cross necklace look poking through the tie, I look like a Catholic Girls Gone wild promoter. The reverie dress has so many options, you get the shirts on their own to wear as shirts, you get the inbuilt shirt with top of dress look for that uniform look, and you get the dress on its own, and it is HOT HOT HOT. The simplicity of it is what makes it so sexy.
Now onto the white Melanies, this is where I ended up stopping only because once I got the middle look; I refused to change from it lol. On the left though we have the Tease dress by Luck Inc, and you only get a tease, because no way will you see the front. It is definitely an exposing dress, I can wish that CK had done a more modest version, but pfft not likely. But I do get to save it for private time :P.
The jumper on the right is a delightful casual look for those that love the Luck Inc style, It is modest enough, but the back cut out still keeps it all sexy, and it is something that can be worn at anytime. Even the sexier stores have to give their customers something to sit on a couch and cuddle in watching tv, cannot always be looking like you cannot wait to tp to the next party.
The middle look is what I will spend the rest of the day in, even though the jeans are cheek flashers, the tank dress totally covers that, and makes the whole look a touch more stylish especially with the new Lucid belt from Fri.day. I love mid torso belts, and this thin one is aces.
The skin I am wearing throughout the post is the latest Elle skin from Belleza. There are twenty make ups on this skin, with hair base and cleavage options. I think that Elle has a style to the face that means you can be playful and youthful, or classy and mature, which is exactly what one wants in a skin line, especially if you do like to play around with lots of looks, but prefer one skin.
Make sure you try all the demos, and if you haven’t done Belleza before try them all not just Elle, because you never know, an older skin may be more to your liking.
I am wearing the latest nails from Exodi, in the silver, which gives you options of embelishments such as glitter, you can buy them as singles ( I couldn’t find a pack ) for only 100L they have three sizes and are MOD MOD MOD so yay for real fitting capabilities.
Have a great weekend…

Kiss My
Some stores just blow you away with how they present their product. Lately I have seen a few stores level up in that area, from how they present their items for purchase, as well as just the clean and crisp way they produce their ads.
One thing that absolutely floored me was the level to which this designer presents her work, not just by the info on the vendors, or the nice pictures, but the fact that every single colour is shown with different hair, skin and pose…really capturing the look and idea of the outfit. Not only is this really eye catching, but the chance to really snare the attention of the customer is much greater, because looking at the vendors you can imagine yourself as one of those girls and the item becomes more real to you.
The store is Veschi and the latest release by Alla Ruff is just incredible. The colours are rich and pretty, with spring in the air the corals, oceans and soft greens are perfect. A true grecian theme with incredible draped dresses in solid or two tone – they are GORGEOUS – the whole collections reminds me of Dynasty.
Not only did Alla feature all her colours in different looks, but two of the major sets came with an abundance of extras options if you feel like adding more to your look, and if not then you don’t have to. It is like a one colour extras pack option, with belts and trim in other colours to change your ensemble enough to be a different palette, much fun and totally lovely to wear.
The collection also comes with separates and the handbags are also by Alla, with all prims in the whole lot modify, because Alla is concerned about scripts being overused in SL at the moment… and by making them mod if you have any issues with editing them to fit you, she has offered to help you out if you contact her with purchase details, how cool is that :).
With this release I am wearing the latest from LAQ, the Elena skin is just beautiful, she is like the more mature version of Tasha which makes me very happy. The lips are fuller and the make up has a deeper range that is just gorgeous. As usual they come with hair base options and the body is stunning.
On my feet another look at the La Sauvage by Courtisane. These shoes have both the ankle strap version and the shoes only look, the colours went so well with this release of clothing too, I found that their goldish sole also worked so well with Veschi offering gold or silver versions in the jacket and bags.
With pose fair still on I am using poses from Avant a collab project of various designers, and Olive Juice. Olive juices release had me in stitches the names of these poses are so entertaining, and I am starting to think that the creator is in her mid to late 30’s because the names have way too much going on in that direction lol either that or she is staying up too late watching reruns, because Alice has not been on TV down here since the early 80’s lol , too funna.

United Colours of
Do you remember those United Colours of Benetton ads? They hit the airwaves mid 80’s for us down under, and we were all besotted by their diversity and wow factor. I mean that was the point right, to show the diversity in the world and the fact that their brand saw that there was a need to show everyone in advertising campaigns, example here .
There is girly girl in all of us, even those girls that think they don’t have any in them. When Emma Gilmour was talking about her latest big release, there was giggles as we spoke about that surfer girl mumbling and grumbling as on her hands and knees she had to rummage in their closets for a dress and proper shoes to attend some party or dance she didn’t want to go to in the first place.
She is kidding herself of course, because that dance/party is going to be the one were the boy she has loved forever finally looks at her as a girl and not just one of the boys. It will be her first kiss as waves crash down as the moon returns to the other side of the world…it is going to be that night, the night she realises why women buy pretty lingerie and shave their legs other than being aerodynamic for sports lol.
She is going to pull out this dress, the one her mum bought her in hopes that one day she would turn into a young lady, the kind of dress that suits all girls, the colours the fabric, the way it isn’t so constricting that you can feel uncomfortable in it, but not too loose that you look frumpy. It has enough swish to make you want to walk a little slower and imagine what it would be like to dance in it with that boy.
She may be the kind of girl that grabs a colourful scarf and ties it around her waist with a bow at the back just because it adds a different element to her look, and that way she feels a little bit more herself. She knows heels will be expected, but she is going to cheat a little with the vintage style wedges that she might have gotten out of her mums wardrobe, or even picked up at a jumble sale once because the colours reminded her of her favourite surfboard.
The dresses, the shoes and the belts by Surf Co. are just so fabulous you can really see how my story could be possible, totally inspiring and I got to shoot my own United Colours of looks. Which wasn’t so hard with me on my VR Studio roll, straight after the tutorial all I wanted to do was more more more, and I got to show you again how incredibly easy it is to use the VR Studio HUD to achieve things like this :).
The Glance skins gave me a chance to be as many girls as I could manage with no sleep, again the diversity is wonderful and I hope to see lots more from this skin maker. I really liked how with these particular skins without changing shape I did take on a different look, some of course I still look like me, but it is remarkable how the skin and mesh work in Second Life. The bodies of the skins are just gorgeous too, and wow you should see Whimsy in the Beyonce one , that post coming soon I hope.
The fabulous poses and animations used to do this pic are all by Body Language, they have a great big release at the Pose Fair starting 2nd April so make sure to check those out, full AO’s and poses that are just gorgeous , especially the two breast covering packs, we can never have too many of those.
These dresses and shoes make me glad I am a girly girl, and even if I wasn’t I soon would be.

Breathe in and HOLD
Purple Punishment week is almost over, but as I said before I am having too much fun. I still don’t think I will go to one purple as a first choice ever, but I don’t think I will entirely rule it out, and I love how the other ones look. Today somehow ended up being a corset post, I love corsets, in all of their styles, I especially love them when the designer makes them on all options, so that they work with everything, as was the case with these ones today.
With the Addict corsets in the first pic, it is lucky that Kianna did them on every layer including pants, so that I would be able to wear it over underpants layered jeans, and still wear the fabulous new no collar leather jacket by Aoharu, or if I had opted for a cardigan or shrug on the jacket layer. Layers really enhance the experience on how you can get the most out of your wardrobe.
The skinny jeans and frayed come on both pants and underpants layers, so this makes them fun and versatile too. I could have kept layering and mixing and matching these four pieces all day. The second pic veered away from the purple, but again showed the beauty of layer options. Wearing a cropped top on the jacket layer, over a corset on the pants and shirt layer, over a mini skirt on the underpants layer. Eclectic Apparel, Dark Eden and Urbanity all having layers for everything made that so possible. With the large expanse of skin in this look, you may be fooled into thinking not necessary, but the trim on the corset is actually on the underpants layer.
What is fun, is that the corset by Eclectic Apparel is in fact a full breast covering corset, but with the cropped shirt over the top, it looks like an underbust cinch belt style one instead. Whimsy and I took a trip to Xplosion, haven’t been since way back, and wow have they grown in leaps and bounds. Mind you the store was huge already, but I couldn’t resist the cute tank girl stockings, which don’t cover the feet, so I wonder if they are stockings at all, maybe calf coverings ? I don’t know, but they are hot.
Addict has been updating a storm lately, the doubs gloves are another of their great new releases, with either gold or silver buttons they can be fun and funky, or a little more stylised depending on look. I pulled out the older sculpted Anklets by Maitreya, I have not worn these in ages, and mentioned them to Newdoll the other day, and decided I needed to show them some love today.
A Bargain today is the Fawn hair in the last pic by Adam n Eve, this hair is great and it allowed me to get my Cher on. It is part of the 69L humpday promotion, so don’t miss out on the savings there. Other Adam n Eve items are the C ‘mere shoes I have so much fun with, as well as the leather pants which are just beautifully made. Dreams has released a new set of corsets as well this week, with houndstooth as shown as well as ribbed and animal prints.
I also have on one of the latest collars, neko style with adorable diamond paw print dangle. It comes with bling or no bling options, and has a colour change menu. Lots of fun and the cute Cat box that some of the neko items are packed in is awesome.
I love my Ife skins by LeLutka, but today went with the first love on that line Estella, with the beauty marks that are just so lovely. Great hair bases too, with light and dark options.
All my poses today were created by Miseria, I cannot wait until she produces more poses to play with, hopefully she is in the pose fair coming up on the 2nd of April , not sure though, will have to wait to see.

Grape Jelly on your belly
So I slept for like 16 hours, logging in at the end of everyones day is so weird, but I also guess so aussie too. I am having way too much fun with this so called punishment. I might even end up wearing purple a lot more often in posts if it comes in packs that way.
I wonder why you have to have full bright on to get a tint to tint properly, I mean what Linden worked out that that was the only way it would work, and night time be damned. Nothing sillier I am afraid than turning night to night for a romantic dance at some beautiful location, and seeing people hair on full bright.
Half the time it isn’t even because it is tinted, it is just because the creator thinks it looks better…no joke I had a 10×10 sign up at Aleri’s platform in the old days saying “Turn off Full Bright ” it took me over a year to convince her, and habit was habit – I miss Aleri , hopefully her new college courses will lead to bigger and better things.
The Mel shirt was so popular at Berries Inc. that Summse decided to make it into a dress also, with a great side stud belt in light and dark. She is up to amazing things at her new location, and I have been privileged to see some really lovely hair she has been working on, and for first hair, look out she is really talented.
The hair I am wearing now is Exile, and the hair Kavar is doing lately is killer hot, I tinted the first style purple, and it came up fabulous with his new textures…yay for Mod.
I am all up in these wide leg shorts by Eclectic Apparel, how neato are they, the plaid the gaucho leg prims, all win. High enough fit for the conservatives, and still low enough for the not so much. Grandma’s Cardigan is also hotness, if grandma was getting around showing off that much tummy, she would be a rager…I am sure it would be worn over a blouse or something, but lucky us, we get to wear a bit raunchier.
Running around in Natalie by Fishy Strawberry again tonight, I actually went shopping in my lingerie by Opium, yay for Alaska making stuff again. If you haven’t grabbed demos of the Natalie skin, be sure to do so and see how it works for you, as I said before, even with sad face lips, I am really loving how it works on my shape, and the body is divine.
