    Going to the Chapel

    Chap

    Due to the fact that Fia wasn’t around today, I couldn’t get myself a custom wedding set, so no purple other than the backdrop in this one..but I will make up for it in other posts. I really was in the mood to shoot this tonight though, so I went with it, I am sure that Ashia will be a sport about it :P.

    Somehow this evening, the conversation steered its way to weddings and partnering, so with that in my head, I pulled out the Waterfall Wedding Gown by Sascha Designs, also because of the fact that the beautiful new skin by YS & YS has a hair base with matching bun, that just looked such a perfect wedding bun style.

    This gown has many options of wear, but this combo was my favourite, it has a real va va voom thing going on, sort of what you would expect a hollywood starlet to wear in the roaring 20’s. This gown could also be worn to an event, because of its more silvery sheen than pure white, that would totally work.

    While at Sascha Designs I camera’d across and landed on Tally Hoo, the name alone made me smile, and I thought it would be a great accompaniment to the wedding gown. If Johnny Depp was a girl, and was getting married to another girl, this would totally be what he would wear, ok maybe not, but in my silly fantasy it would be.

    All of the wedding floral items are from Essentia, there are bouquets, bouttonnieres and corsages, all matching and demos available in the store, all prim and no alpha, so it makes taking pics a breeze.

    Speaking of pics I played around a bit with this pic in ps, so the prims laying properly along the floor as of course prims usually sink into the floor or just hang there, this gives it a bit more realism for the pic, but just so you know they will not do that in sl.

    The skin again is new by YS & YS , three tones available in 14 make ups… freckles options , hair bases and cleavage enhancements, so you have so much choice, and the skin is just beautiful. So pretty, so feminine and with a really diverse look …DEMO DEMO DEMO.

    I am using some new modeling poses from Body Language Sweet Lovely Cute, I actually would have shot so many more fun wedding shots, but again with all the alpha and prims, I wanted clean looks, so I will just have to use these fab poses in other shoots, the packs are great, so make sure you stop by and splurge.

    Honestly if it wasn’t for the generosity of the designers that send fat packs to be blogged, I would have a hard time doing this so called punishment purple week.  But luckily they realise that we can go back to an item long after originally being posted, and feature a colour we may not have shown the first, second or third time, nothing like that added exposure to your brand lol.

    It is also the easiest way to send stuff ….right click take copy of the vendor and send, easy done, no need to make up folders and stuff …I don’t know how people keep all that stuff straight sometimes. It is also wicked for making back ups of your vendors as singles for customer care and sending to an alt, but me and my belief on all designers sending everything they make to alts is a whole different post.

    It is fun revisiting older items, especially as it is something I enjoy doing often, showing older things so they can become new to someone. Such is the case of the top in the first pic, and the bottoms in the second. With some newness thrown into the mix.

    The pencil skirt by CoCo is new, and wow on the fabulous shading on the system portion…system skirts aren’t easy, and we are lucky to have some incredible designers who appreciate them, so they do them well. Purple and Grey go so well together, it is actually purple that I think does such beautiful colour contrasts, think Purple and Yellow, Purple and Pinks. It also gave me a chance to wear the lovely Ganked jewelry set – see I do buy purpley things – and these very cool new Homespun glasses, very cool shape and texture change options for frames and lenses.

    Ok it’s a bit nuts, I am still awake and of course seeing everyone from your yesterday again already after they have slept, even though it is still my today, which is now your today, but was your tomorrow a few hours ago :P.

    Ok so what was I saying ? oh yeah….the second combo again using grey and purple, is actually part of a set up top, from Crazy – fun store that one – and the bottoms are from BOOM, which I so neat because I was only thinking about BOOM earlier today and up they popped when I searched purple.

    I did some tinting – YAY FOR MOD – with the beads and the armwarmers. The hair didn’t need it as the fabulously floppy bow in the Dorothy hair by Magika actually had a perfect plum in the texture change menu.

    I am wearing the new skin by LP Designs, these skins have a cleavage that is made for a much larger bust than mine, but with the right outfits you can totally work it. I really enjoyed the fun purple make ups on both of these skins. There are actually three in the release , in two tones each and a handful of lovely make ups. DEMOS DEMOS DEMOS and especially if you like a skin that enhances your bust , these ones certainly do that and more.

    Ok so I am in the sin bin for a week. The punishment is that I have to wear something purple in every single post. Now purple lovers don’t get all persnickety, I have an issue with one particular purple, not all…it’s just become such a thing for me, that I tend to shy away from most automatically now. I had a purple coloured room, and my best friend growing up loved it, it was such an 80’s teen girl thing for sure.

    So I never had a problem with it, I also love plums and the shades that vary throughout the purple spectrum, but I hate one particular purple and it is because it has a violent memory spark attached to it for me. So when I say I don’t like it, don’t misunderstand me, it isn’t a hate for the colour, it is really a hate for the memory. So Ashia 😛 this isn’t really a punishment *grins*.

    Featuring lots from Whippet & Buck today. The Lesley set is a delightfully fun romper, that is made a little old school in the trimmed edges and terry cloth like look. I was trying to think of times a romper would be totally perfect for the occasion and I realised what better place than a mosh pit. Ok seriously my brain went there, and wasn’t going to come back until I put together a look that had me jumping off stage into a group of sweaty headbangers.

    My combo has its practical points too, such as Posture collar by Plastic, when flying around in the air into a tight knit group, you never know how you may land, and this thing could totally double as a brace if injured. Then you have the fingerless leather gloves, putting a nice little germ barrier between you and the masses.

    Studs often are an essential, kind of like porcupine spikes… they are great for warding off other dancers from getting in your way, you may need to head butt someone , so headbands with studs totally rock, then shoving people out of the way with swift hip movements makes the belt a plus.

    Don’t even bother wearing socks or tights that are in one piece, sheesh are you kidding. Torn is the only way to go , and these sex appeal socks are perfect, not only pre torn but the arrows show off your kick butt boots to the enemy, in case they have any ideas about taking your space.

    While all of this is going on you are perfectly covered up with your romper, keeping all your bits protected and yet staying cool at the same time, wooot terry cloth. But if mosh diving isn’t your things, well then you can always just go out for the day in yours, the style is adaptable for all needs.

    I am sure I mentioned the show Greek the other day, and the sexy in a mans shirt episode, well in following along that train of thought, the Shay contrast shirts are perfect. They are of course from the Whippet & Buck mens section, but honestly I love that side as much as the girls side. MORE PANTS PLEASE !

    I could totally see walking around the house with one of those on over my lovely Agnes Lingerie, also from W&B – see that I got lazy there. The Agnes set comprises of the pieces shown as well as garter straps on the corset, they are just for decoration though,  as there were no stockings with, but I am sure I can hunt for some that will work…sometimes a bit hard to match up garter ends to stocking tops if not same creator.

    I am wearing the corset/cincher over the top of a boater top I went and grabbed from W&B during taking pics for the post, yes it is true I needed to get more purple lol. This is actually the shade of purple I have the issues with, but I made an exception, the style of the boater top is great, and there is a huge range of colours to choose from, I have it in other colours already.

    Are you liking the skins I am showing today as much as I am ? They are the latest release from Fishy Strawberry, and you totally need to go hit her SOM today, because a group gift is going out at some stage that is just beautiful. The body of these skins is so well done, the options are of course enhanced in the cleavage area, with light and dark brows as well as hair bases. The make up on them is beautiful and even with the down turned lips they come across as really character enhancing.

    I am really liking the little bit wild side of the latest hair by Fri.day, the studded headbands are so cool, and the options for without and colourchange make them very wearable all the time.

    Now I hope I remember to do the purple thing the other days this next 6 days, I wrote myself a note RL lol. Have a fun day everyone, and don’t let bad memories influence you forever, you may miss out on some incredible things because of it.

    Whenever I say it will be a quickie, it ends up almost if not longer than my larger posts…so I am not even going to bother with that today. It is only one pic because I actually took it the other day, and then switched skins mid shoot and thought that was just all too aesthetically muddled.

    When I saw the notice for this skirt it was instant love, I say that a lot I know, but when I do it is true, it’s the lieing sacks of poo that think pretending they don’t you have to watch out for. You know the ones, they sit in plurk or twitter, or some random group they made to backstab those they call friends, then put down a designer because they think it is ‘cool’ but guaranteed next release of that designer that little parasite is the first to tp.

    I love those people, like ringworm. Too dramatic ? probably, but last week I decided that I was going to pull forward that age thing, you know the age you get to say whatever you want, scary for reals, because if I actually did do that, all hell would break loose lol, so don’t panic, I am just not that into you.

    What I am into, is this skirt. I love tiered skirts like this one. Incorporating the peasant girl, gypsy look in all its swooshyness. Sn@tch released these in not only one with tops in different colours, but also in a pack of just skirts, and seriously every colour, even the purple I am all for. It is great when a pack works that way, mind you I don’t think there was a singles option, but the price of all of them was in lines with what I paid for one skirt similar a few months back on it’s own, and yet have never worn it since.

    It comes with three attachment points, but honestly unless furry, you really don’t need to worry about the leg parts being taken up, unless you carry a firearm down there, and that just has to be dangerous right?

    Moving upwards we have the new OhMai tube bra, not made to be ‘pretty’ it is a basic that I have already worn upwards of three times since release, it is just a great ‘grab it and wear it’ piece. When I put the skirt on, I knew what top I wanted to wear it with first off.

    A much older item from my inventory, this bolero was released by Bare Rose yonks ago for their ten L store. Talk about love, I damn near broke something trying to get to it, couldn’t find it because I didn’t read the ten L store part…thank goodness they have such great customer service over there, they helped me find it and I bought them all, they are just beautiful at many times the price.

    Also loving the swedish nanny hair from Epoque, ok it is totally not called that, but how cool is the design, the braiding that forms a perfect bun is just beautiful, and the one click colouring hud is easy to use.

    In whose mouth?

    Innsmouth 1

    I had the most amazing day yesterday. First off Happy Rezday Ashia Tomsen and Newdoll Nikolaidis, fancy that, they both joined SL the same day and didn’t meet until a year or so later – thanks 60 minutes for the cover story that brought them both here.

    So I went off to do some shopping, and came across some lovelyness, TP’d over Whimsy and before we knew it we were off and roaming the sim. Our hearts leapt inside our chests when we came across one store, and we ended up TPing Newdoll over to join us for a day of roaming the grid, dressed like we had come straight off the plantation, see us HERE .

    So in our travels we went to a fantastic sim via the search showcase,/editors picks, he/she did a good job on that selection. The sim is called Innsmouth and it is incredible, an old fishing village overrun by seamonsters, or something like that, The monsters were so not scary, that I kind of expected Scooby and Shaggy to come flying around the corner.

    The sim is not only incredibly beautiful to visit, but you can also buy the buildings and recreate your own, at such an incredible bargain price.

    I went back today, running into the talented hair creator Catty Loon, and took some more pics. This time wearing a little less fabric, but equally as pretty. The flower strapless dresses by Aoharu come with two skirt options, and are just lovely for by the waterfront strolling. Mind you the weather can turn and turn fast, lightning and torrential rain are what make this sim even scarier, I actually screamed yesterday walking back up the overturned bridge, when I heard footsteps behind me lol.

    As much screaming went on today with the falling in love with the Audrey hat, old old old LeLutka , but so darn beautiful I had to buy two , and will probably have to get more later, I am just lucky that it’s woven, so the umbrella arm slid right up in there 😛 . I have no plans to show you more of Innsmouth, but I do urge you to go visit, with friends or solo, the sim is breathtaking.

    Using the VR Studio Library HUD I was able to take pics on location with ease, the great thing about it is that no one knows what your up to as it is silent. Just link and pose, and you are good to go.

    Ok so the asset servers are playing silly buggers. I have taken back to inventory the same boxes about 12 times now, I gave up as they weren’t going there anyway, just vanishing, so now I am just dragging them out of the way, it looks like a delivery truck overturned outside my door. Actually I could totally do that, because I am so in love with the NotsoBad rezzer that I keep it out full time at the moment.

    As fun as SL can be during times of nothing working, it is unfortunate for those that have had plans made, a date set etc. Tuli announced last week that today would be the much anticipated release of her Eva skins. So far, not a peep out of Tuli as she is probably trying to tackle opening her new build and releasing of her new products, not just the skins.

    The skins come in seven beautiful tones, from very pale to dark dark tan, and with a blend of make ups that compliment all. The brow options vary from tone to tone, as some wont work on all…but all that info is very clear when purchasing, and you can always check edit, or demos to find out if the brows you are after are part of that tone package. Eva also has a lovely full cleavage option, that just cries out for attention, so don’t be wearing the b version and covering them up, that just wouldn’t be fair.

    Preparing this post I got to fall in love with all sorts of items, I mentioned the other day that Sabina Gully of Magika had been training up her sculptie techniques, and one of the outcomes of that is the hat hair on the right of the first pic. A beautiful loose beanie style but with a lovely rich texture that doesn’t make it too wintery, and is colour/texture change on click.

    Most of the clothing today is also featured at Clothing Fair, either RFL items or just regular, and the fair is still going strong, I popped over earlier today, and the crowds are having a great time. I love the semi casual to dressy pieces being released at the moment, depending on how you add to them, they can be fun for running around in, or going out in.

    That is definitely the case for the clothing released by Elate recently. The Kaia dress is perfect for slipping on and taking off – by taking off I mean going about your day :P. The two tone stripes give you ample opportunity with accessorising them, and using one of both colours as compliments to the look. I could totally wear these over a fav pair of  jeans too.

    Another LOVE LOVE LOVE is the gorgeous Mermaid set jewelry from Biensen & Maitai , this is a set to be had by all fishy lovers, pisceans which is now by the way, and just fans of all things water related. I love this necklace and earrings combo, and the image on both is just beautiful.

    Next up another big love – don’t you just love that show, it spins me out, but it is fab – are the Alex skirts , again by Elate. This is a MUST HAVE staple for the remainder of the year, the kind of item you have on hand in your go to folder, as the style and the fit is perfect. Not only is it high waisted, but the belt is superb, and even with a long top over it, covering the high part, the belt can be worn as a cinch and just enhance the whole look… bravo Kellie on this one.

    Changing into some beautiful hairstyles from Tiny Bird. Autumn has really been producing some really feminine styles lately – not that she doesn’t usually – but these have a little something extra in the girly girl department of twin sets and cameos for sure.

    The rest of the Jewelry is by Addict, Kianna has updated all of her necklaces and made them colourchange, so if you were oooing and ahhing in the past, but didn’t follow through, now is the time. The doll necklace has always been a fav of mine, and now I can make it match a variety of looks when I want.

    Boots Boots Boots, the Prestige ones have been featured here before, and the choice of either leather or suede is a hard one, but as you do get so much wear out of them, it is more to do with what colours will best enhance your wardrobe. The leather option is just perfect in the brown version, and I did make lots of squeely noises when I went from the skirts to the Trek outfit from Nyte n Day. How gorgeous is that safari look dress. Just going to show that thats two outfits in the same day that I get the use of the camel colour.

    I adore the trek dress, it is just gorgeous, and I was able to cheat and use the lower portion of it as a skirt with the new Boyfriend Racerback Tanks by OhMai. Be careful of those, Miss Anya Piglet made them sheer so you will need to wear a bra or the other fab layers to cover up – or not – the split sides and back of these are just perfect, it is funny how when you see something done so well, like side splits on a top, that you realise you don’t see them that often.

    Keep your eyes and ears peeled for the announcement that Eva is released, as the skin is just beautiful and I can see it fast becoming a default skin for many.

    Here I am again, continuing my clothing fair post from earlier , which isn’t really earlier as I still have both tabs active lol. The next dress had Whimsy wondering if there was a theme to the fair, and as much as one would have been cool, to my knowledge there isn’t for the creations.

    Very 80’s rocker this dress is, which would be strange for a dress I guess, but this was totally the fashion back then for those girls that didn’t want to do the frou frou but couldn’t escape from the frills. Tiered was all the rage, and funnily enough this style print very much made coordinating with your partner a whole lot easier…damn mens shirts were ugly mid 80’s I tell you, but the same or similar print on dresses and skirts somehow worked well.

    Sachi of Adam n Eve did a great job on this dress, it is easy to wear, and easy to accessorise. Whether girly girl with a bow in your hair, or tougher with that punky edge of zippered boots, I went both ways.

    Picture 7 technically

    Has me oooing and aaaaing for the love for Mel. He absolutely nailed it when it came to this blue drop down last weekend. I had been secretly coveting the gorgeous Hydra necklace choker set from Rozoregalia, but really wanted Mel to see it first, and without him even knowing he bought it for me <3. My only concern is of course that it is no mod, but it does have scripts for resizing. Lucky for me I have my own aLu Necklock so I don’t have to worry.

    The necklace comes in three styles and all three are just gorgeous, if I could wear them all at once and all the time I most probably would, but then I wouldn’t be able to wear anything else, so I will have to save it for the special moments .

    I am totally taken when it comes to good silver clothing, and this is gorgeous. Fake has a shared space at Clothing Fair, and this is one of the RFL items as well as available seperately of the 3 pack in the vendor. The way Dream uses sculpties to enhance the Fake or Fantasia clothing always excites me, and this dress has the added beauty of a breast piece that allows for a smooth line across the chest, rather than the clothing texture dipping and covering the mesh.

    It is those little things that will make Fake a store to be reckoned with in the future, the styles created for both lines of clothing brand are just fantastic. More Exile hair, actually all of the remaining styles are Exile and this updo is just gorgeous.

    Picture 8

    Ok the other item in the Fake/Fantasia store as a RFL vendor item were these INCREDIBLE throw me over your shoulder and ride away with me in your chariot style skirts – ok that isn’t the real name of them, but it should be – they are so beautiful and again just goes to show the talent oooozing out of Dreams fingertips.  The hair I thought was appropriate too with the name Giselle it just suited the theme in my romanesque fantasy.

    Another of the stores I had not heard of before was Likka House, Whimsy and I were looking about and some great pieces were there to be found, but as soon as my eyes hit the Shaula skirts I was all about the gimme fingers. The fabric, the style, and the overall look of this set is great… there is something about that fabric and that skirt that reminds me of being little, I don’t know if it was my Mum who had one, but someone I know had skirts the same and I just love them.

    Nowadays though this look is pure Bondi markets , and that is just perfect wherever you are from. Even down to my toes I am channeling the beach…and people they are called THONGS not flip flops, that is the sound they make.

    Lastly and meant to be, the little red dress Madison by Stellar is the perfect way to celebrate such an incredible effort by Nevar and all those that work so hard each year on Clothing Fair for RFL. This dress has a beautiful style, with its poofed out skirt and strapless bodice, a lovely mantle for the divine Jewelry by Alienbear Designs that I wore in part earlier. But in full now as this elegant dress needs equally elegant accessories. The hair, is a masterpiece, and I am not taking it off for now…an updo like this one needs to be seen.

    Have an incredible day and remember to spend spend spend for Charity.

    Clothing Fair pt 1

    RollUp
    RollUp2
    RollUp3
    RollUp4
    RollUp5

    Wowza, I have no idea what time I started, but I am seriously starting to see spots I have spent so much time taking pics. So damn worth it though. The talent new and older at this years Clothing Fair to raise funds for Relay for Life,  is off the hook Yo! – I think I watched too much Scrubs this week .

    Many of the items being shown are from RFL vendors at the fair, so the money goes to help Relay for Life. I blended in a lot of Accessory Fair items at the same time, lol two birds and all that jazz.

    The first outfit is Nyte n Days RFL item, a special colour from the New Release Nyte did yesterday. I just had to have this look, as the top is just perfect for lots of things, and the shorts are musts. I especially like the thin belt and matching choker parts, as they make great accessories to use with other items.

    The hat/hair is from accessory fair, and by the talented Plurabelle of Bliensen + Maitai , the hat also comes without hair, but it is such a cute bob in this cabaret style, and as they are mod you can edit as I did to match your outfit.

    The Earrings are also from there, and have a hollywood theme to them, and are just perfect jangle earrings. With the outfit I am wearing stockings and garters from another Nyte n Day set, thats also at the fair…leading downwards to the gorgeous new shoes by Urbanity. Their first foray into footwear and so sexy with those super duper tall heels. I had to get them in this colour as Mel liked it so much, and it ended up matching perfectly with the clothing, so how is that for luck.

    The skin I am wearing is also from Clothing Fair, and also a RFL item and incredibly priced. The Plus skin Hope by Sn@tch is just gorgeous and I ended up keeping it on for the whole post. The lovely lips and mesmerising eye make up are just wonderful combination’s for a RFL skin, so make sure you try the demos available.

    Now onto pic two & three , fasten your seatbelts it is a long ride today.

    Kate had us at OMG, Whimsy and I snapped it up on the naughty, as we got to the fair earlier than we should have, don’t panic we only stayed long enough to see two stores and then left. All the different notices and what not confused us mixed with timezones etc.

    This set was designed especially for the RFL item, and is just HOT HOT HOT. It is by Indi designer Jamie Holmer, and we are so glad that Indi got the London sim location, because if not english the sim definitely made an impact. Not lost on me that trafalgar square the home of the Punk Culture of the 80’s is right outside the door lol.

    The jacket and all those pieces are just fabulous, and the boots I am wearing are also from Indi and at the fair. The Lombardi booties come with two options, studded and not, studded shown with the Kate set, and without in the next pic. Quickly though how HOT is the new Drew hair by Exile in the pic, mans hair that totally needs to be shot with a girl, Kavar you so need to do unisexy vendor pics , your short styles are wicked on women.

    Not a RFL item, but totally at the fair, the Freya set by Indi is OMG also HOT HOT HOT. I am so in love with the jacket especially in the brown, it is like vintage leather and yummy, and snuggly and just sexy. You get most of what you see in the set, the jacket YUM, the two coloured tanks with their ripped look of more YUM, the pants, and the belt…and the variations and layering options are well taken care of, going above and beyond.

    Teaming it up with the Turquoise Jewelry from Ganked I was so loving this look I could have stopped there. Everything was working, the way the booties fit under the pants cuffs, the jacket and hair, it was enough to want to make me convert my whole style. Actually now looking at it in print, I would have to say I was channeling Jeli as this would so suit her down to the ground.

    Picture four

    Now this dress was just too charming to not snap up, Vitamin Ci releases some beautiful pieces, and this is no exception. I love the style of the shorter dress, with the slit in the front to the side, the billowy sleeves and the option to wear jeans underneath if you can’t do mini, that come with. Very retro in colour pallette it is definitely a fun choice for the fair. I am actually wearing a wide leather belt over the top of the dress, it doesn’t come like that, but the belt pack from Sascha Designs is just gorgeous and a steal at the price. I used it to bring together the leather in the boots, and it really did ad a bit of a different look to it overall.

    Playing on the red, I went with more beautiful pieces from Ganked and the uber cute new glasses from Sand Shack Surf. These are rose tinted only to enhance your look on the world, not to cloud it. Also from the accessory fair I got another cute hairstyle from CriCri, one of many…and people if you have it, and you didn’t look past the hair OMG the trolley that comes with is super awesome with an inbuilt AO that is just wild fun. Honestly if you have no love for any of the hair – don’t know how that would be possible – buy one anyway just to get the trolley , trust me.

    CriCri hair is option city, you not only get to click to change colours in the pack you chose, but also in some cases change bangs, and add or remove bows and ribbons and whatever else they added…too cool.

    Picture five

    Ok the best thing about fairs like Clothing Fair, is the little stores you would otherwise never ever come across. That happened more than once last night, but this one was the first. It is Tomoto and the dress I have on is just  sweet and really pretty. The way it moves is divine, and the almost glettering star/diamonds are done in such a way as to move on their own, it is really like watching a star filled sky.

    I hadn’t been to P/a in ages, so to see newness by them at the Accessory Fair I was happy as a clam. This neck frill like choker in peacock feathers no less is wonderful. I love the idea that you could add it to a steampunk style blouse instead of the collar it may come with , and totally come out with a new look.

    Ok I am going to have to break this into two parts otherwise it will be hell.

    Rising

    Ball
    Ball2

    Clothing Fair 2010 is approaching fast, 13th of March to be exact. One of the bigger events of the year with the donations going to RFL as they do every year, this is the 4th year and they are getting bigger and better with each one. The landing point this year is amazing, it was like arriving at the Olympics.

    One of the stores taking part this year is Phoenix Rising. The gown I am wearing is a sparkly strapless combination that just works beautifully. The texture on the skirt is like falling light beams, and the bodice is gorgeous.

    I decided that with that expanse of neckline, I didn’t want to go with the more traditional formal jewelry. But opted instead for some of the new Recluse collars from Plastik, these come in various styles and colour/print blends and are just lovely…you know I love posture collars, so these will definitely get featured again in the other variations.

    The second outfit comprises of the top of one of the newer dresses from Phoenix Rising, I decided that the jeans and top looked so cute together that I went that route for now. it also gave me another chance to wear the waist belt from cobrahive, this one actually more of a high waist belt.

    New hair from two stores, the first is Vanna a style from Pazazz, the textures are that tight curl look, and as an updo it is really nice. The second is really new from Exile, and I am so loving the pixie like bangs, very vintage and so hot. I pray that Kavar does a lot more styles with this bang look, because the possibilities are just OMG.

    What I learned today :

    Dot Lane plans on moving on;

    I am sad now, but I understand why.

    Dot Lane Girl Reporter:
    I want to write something special, I want to express how much someone like Dot Lane can mean to people that see her for what she is. See her use humor as a way of protecting herself, a woman that even though pint sized could fill ten thousand servers with her charm and charisma. A woman that reached into my heart all the way down here, and has now filled it with heartache that I didn’t get to tell her every day how incredible she is. But I know that she doesn’t need me too, that she knows I adore her so much, and that she would think me silly sitting here typing in tears just because she isn’t going to log in her avatar anymore.

    I am sad that she will be in plurk and I can’t spend lots of time there, but I do know she is happy, and that she is finding new adventures with her life. It is funny because I can just hear her in SL , and imagine her in her safari shorts and jacket from CKS about to take on the new world she has planned for herself. I imagine each day her sitting by lamplight writing down her memoirs and experiences with the wildlife she encounters. One day maybe I will come across some writing that will be by someone not named Dot and I will just know it is her, that no one else in the whole world could ever be the same, write the same, or have the same outlook on life…she is outstanding.

    Not only shakespearean

    Portia

    I have mentioned in the past that I started out my Second Life as a redhead. I have red naturally through my RL hair, so it was just a normal thing for me to do, especially with the fun reds back then, which I now know where largely in part to tinting lol.

    Anyway, since then with all the different textures and the lack of naturals packs …BRING BACK NATURALS PACKS PLEASE HAIR PEEPS. Whimsy and I often cry about the loss of such a valuable hair pack. I kind of moved to black as a safe colour, but spend most of my time in a large range of colours, yay for dyeing your hair without the chemicals lol.

    Anywho, I was running down my folders tonight, and came across the lovely portia skin by Adam n Eve, blogged before, but I hadn’t paid much attention to the brows options at the time. I  realised that there is red as a hair base, and brow option, and as I had never done red brows in the past, I wanted to give them a whirl, for all those diehard fans out there.

    With the beautiful red hair textures from Fri.day, shown here in the latest Summer style, you really do get a nice overall look with the red brows – demands Sachi now makes red hair lashes -  I often wonder why there aren’t blonde and brunnette lashes in SL only black, not everyone wears mascara all the time.

    Fia calls this my librarian look, I put it together early this morning, and only now had the chance to take the pic. Last week when shopping with Whimsy for her Oscars dress, we went to Reale, and I picked up these skirts. I really like the detailing, and have been throwing it on every chance I get since then.

    A few months ago, there was a need for a hairstyle in Fashion Emergency. The funny thing was that when they supplied a pic to ask which one it was, all I could focus on was the jacket. So off I went and snapped it up. Naive does such lovely work with this cropped style look. The detailing on the coat is exquisite, I really love that all the detailing is done on the coat itself, and not reliant on prims.  But I would love to see some sculpted cuffs and collar as an option too, for a fuller effect.

    Accessory Fair is still going strong to my knowledge, and the item that called me to it in the first place was the ‘Where are my glasses’ necklace by Sissi. Not only is it a wonderful and humorous accessory, it has such lovely extra detailing and overall style, with the added bonus of being scripted to change as much as you can handle. The c0lours of the glasses, pearls and character all have multiple options in a drop down menu, so coordinating is easy.

    What I learned today: Today I found out that you do not have to be a premium member to own estate land, only mainland. I argued this point like a crazy person earlier today, as it was always to me, and most of the people I know, the absolute rule. I do not know where or when they changed this, because I swear it was not like that back when I started, or dreamland and all those other estates would have never made money.

    The whole basis of ‘leasing’ from the land barons, was that you didn’t have to become a premium account holder. Now what I don’t understand is, why is this the case at all ? why would linden labs put their highest priced item in the hands of people that have no commitment to them, who can buy privately with lindens, and then also pay tier with their lindens, by turning them into USD on the website, and not taking them, as LL goes to your USD balance first. So with no info on file, or ID needed, what is going to safeguard them against possible fraudulent behaviour ?

    I am just baffled by it, so thought I would share :).
