Blog – Work It, Like Wow
Footwear Expo starts at 10am HERE
Incredibly small prims are a challenge for anyone that builds, whether it be for clothing, Jewelry or accessories. It takes an ability to manipulate prims against all boundaries, there are of course nano prims now, and sculpties make that task easier…there are older creators who mastered it with regular prims though, and often it is just awe inspiring.
Whether old school or new skills, the task is hard, but the outcome can be incredibly satisfying. One creator doing amazing things with small prims and in this case shoes, is 2408 Alekseev and her store 24 Shoo Shoes. I know 24 from other endeavors and she has always been such an incredibly lovely person, and really cares about her business…seeing this progression over the past year into this incredible work is a delight.
Definitely catwalk inspired shoes, these are why we adore Second Life most I would say, the ability to wear spine snapping shoes with no aches or pains, other than making sure our skin matches, and believe me 24 has made that incredibly painless too. She has included two skin huds in her shoes, which genuis-ly (ok possible made up word) are on an alpha layer that you can move your camera to make sure your legs are behind and get the perfect shade, its fabulous. Like I said incredibly detailed and just beautiful, you will have to see them for yourself.
The clothing I chose to feature the shoes with, are the sexy and seductive Feather Dress by LeLutka, such beautiful details to this dress, I am though missing a part of it which covers the breasts, but I liked it without and with Jewelry that I chose to let it go. Definitely runway worthy, this dress lets you dress it up even more with things such as the Dramatic lashes from PanJen, and some lovely Jewelry pieces from Sigma and Hair Rose from Essentia finished the look.
Then we have a much older dress from Tuli, this dress comes with a long skirt gown option that I adore, but of course because we were featuring the shoes I went with the shorter option, still such a classic the Gwen gown is, it makes me want to beg Tuli to make more and more clothing, when she is able to create such perfect pieces as these.
Perfect accessories from Glow Studios in the KOS Set, it even actually comes with a handbag, but it was enough without, and a wonderful soft gold, that just enhanced the richness of the whole look. The vixen skins by Gala were an easy choice for that severe yet gorgeous look I wanted to create, BAM! I am a serious catwalk model BAM BAM! – laughs as I tip off the stage. But seriously it really has that look for runway, especially with such incredible make ups, my obvious choice for the gold was Majesty make up.
Just remember whatever shoes you buy at the fair – and don’t forget part of most sales are going to charity, in some cases all -Â make sure you WORK IT BABY!.

Blog – Zebra Moo
After a whirlwind trip for two weeks, she still managed to get back and release skins for skin fair. The Winter skin by Gala is a joy to wear, and the make ups are going to be adored by many as a little bit festive and a lot of Sexy.
As usual the Gala skins come in the dark and light variation of your choice of tone, the slight variation really adding to your range and mood. Each skin has a difference in the depth of make up giving each theme two options. I not only like the make ups but the names also, giving a real warm wintery feeling.
Now as it is hot down here, and as much as I love winter fashion, I decided to go a little lighter for the post. I am such an 80’s lover, I was there, I did it all. I was the perfect age at the perfect time, or in my case the perfect UNDERage ;). Anyway the fashion was fun, seriously don’t know why people picked on it for the last twenty years, but Emery definitely has the 80’s vibe going on , and this Zebra tshirt dress had me at hello. The gloves were an added bonus as they come with, and are rimmed with the red that is just fun, and flirty.

Riding in the Hood
Halloween is just around the corner, what do you have planned for this creepy and ghoulish day? We don’t really celebrate it down here, not the way they do in the states anyway, so it has always been a bit of a wanting to do it, and a not understanding the hype of it all.
Not until Second life did I really see how incredibly celebrated the day for so many really is.So for the last few weeks, amongst getting Halloween at The Deck sorted, and the launching this weekend of What’s New SL, I have been thinking of the Battle Royale skins by Gala @ Curio. I really have been, ever since I got them, how I was going to show you the wonder and creativity that is this skin release.
So many ways you can in fact show them, and not only in pic format, I mean I even wrote a movie/satire in my head for hours the other night while laying in bed, and the concept was so fun, and I was so excited, but at the moment I wouldn’t be able to truly do it justice, maybe one day I will get it done, I do hope so.
Anyway as I was tossing ideas around prior to that night, something so obvious hit me, well actually it was more like if it was possibly I would have stubbed my toe on it. The Red Riding Hood set from Stellar was on my floor so I wouldn’t forget to unpack it. I knew right then the only thing to do was to show that in the end Red always wins, and she doesn’t need a man to help her.
Then bloggers fate slipped in, you know I talk about that often, you see every so often as I have written here before, I get hat need mental, like seriously…it’s like those days you don’t have any chocolate in the house and you could seriously walk 500 miles to get some. Well today was one of those days, and rarely is that need sated, but today OMG was it ever, because lo and behold there in The Hat Mechanic – thanks Aradia for reminding me of the store name to find it – was this incredible Riding Hood set that totally shows who the victor is.
The set from Stellar actually comes with a hood and cape, hair, shoes, basket and the adorable and very naughty – flipping up showing the tartan panties – dress. However I did change the hood, cape and basket for the ones in the set from The Hat Mechanic. All in all the combination is the perfect way to not only take back your power this Halloween, but to show the true Diversity of creativity intended to be part of our ever growing talent pool.
If it wasn’t for skins such as this one, that allowed me to show off through continuity of make up, the steps from perfectly adorable, to bruised and battered after taking on a wolf, to the finished result of the mending process, It would have surely been a most boring picture…..or I would have had to spend hours in photoshop with skills I don’t have, or paid someone to make me a custom, or done some mods to an eloh which is of course more plausible, but by the time I got the look I wanted and deliberated over looking cute enough, it would have cost me way more lol.
Definitely the perfect excuse if you ask me to buy such an extravagantly ridiculous and marvelous all rolled into one item, crafted by a brilliant milliner.

Breezing Through
It seems like these pics have been hiding in flickr for weeks, everything has been on fast forward the last few days. Skin/Shape Expo has been going strong since the second the doors opened, and that is a fabulous thing. Right now though I am trying to not lose my mind, due to the fact that my pc seems to want to sound like a powertool all of a sudden and it’s so loud it’s scaring the hell out of me.
I have always felt that the Breeze skins by Gala @ Curio were more of an everyday skin, a bit purer than the Vixen or the Lovely. but by no means does that mean any less sexy. It was just as much fun to dress in different looks for the NEW Breeze 2 skins – now found at Skin/Shape Expo , than it was for the other two.
The first dress I am wearing is actually on my wallpaper, and if you have ever seen my flickr, you will find it familiar, as a dress I recently wore on a romantic dance evening with Mel. It is the Anessa dress by DCNY , named after the delightful Anessa Stine of On Your Toes.
The dress is designed to wear short or long, and has a definite resort/get away kind of romance to it. The colour and style made it perfect for this make up, and opting for bare feet for the evening walk along the beach as the sun sets just felt right.
A day spent outdoors is perfect for the Meeko dress from Bare Rose, I got so excited when I saw this dress, as our favourite pink fox is named Meko and it is such his style. All little girls have at one stage I’m sure had a frock just like this one. The style is so pretty, and the addition of the chest piece not only has the sheer patch but also a curve between the cleavage to actually make the dress more believable in style.
Again able to compliment the beautiful blues in the Breeze 2 Make ups in the Gala skin . The Mary Jane shoes from Miel and their fabulous colour change options worked a treat also, having a lovely cornflower blue in their lights option. The hair I am wearing in the – ok seriously I have been writing this post for 3 days lol – pictures except one are from Clawtooth by Clawtooth , they are the Good Morning and Good Afternoon styles, I really love this hair, there is also a Good Evening with bangs, but these two are my favourite of the three, I am also stoked I went for the red pack not black as usual, because how cute does it look with the kini lol.
The Next picture is the latest releases by Miel, seriously is there nothing those two talents can’t do ? The cali cords are such delightful sculpted skirts with a beautiful belt, you can also buy the belt seperate.
The hoodies, have a beautiful style to them, not your regular sweater hoodie at all. Recently Miel entered hair making, and they have taken to it like ducks to water. The styles I am wearing are either sold with hood attachment or without. So even if you aren’t into the hooded look, you don’t have to miss out on the lovely style.
I really like pulled back bangs do’s, and this one has a lovely widows peak kind of look to it, that is even hotter. The whole look is cool and casual, but with definite style, and the perfect neckline to show off the New at Jewelry fair Primagine Cascade set , this jewelry is really awesome and has that boho but elegant charm that is so in right now. It also doesn’t hurt that it draws attention to the cleavage.
Lastly the Retro Dots Bikini , also from Miel, and so prettyful, the colours available are delightful, and the style is vintagey fun. The top half is sculpted but not hard to edit and it does have a glitch layer.
So as you can see Breeze 2 Skins by Gala are fun and flirty in a ever so pretty way.

Lovely Nyte
I have been really loving the resurge of so many older designers lately. Whether its seasonal returns, or the fact that they have their passion for fashion back, either way I am stoked.
One such designer, who didn’t actually go anywhere, but has been releasing much more often lately is Nyte n Day creator Nyte Caligari, all the clothes I am wearing today are from her recentish releases, and one that I think is older, but I love no less than the others.
The first one is the Mini Dress, that is a stretch ribbed off the shoulder that has so many possibilities for wear, belt it , add layers to it, whichever you like it is a perfect staple. Sometimes it is the simple styles like these that can have such a broad appeal.
The Jewelry is from Bliensen + MaiTai and available at Jewelry Fair, the set has scripted colour change for the beading and metal, and it really is a delightful visit to older times in its craftmanship.
I was also able to match the beads to my eyeshadow, so how cool is that. The skins I am wearing are Lovely II the soon to be released makeups by Gala at Skin/Shape fair that starts in less than 24 hours.
The lips on these have more of a matte finish, but with a definite shine when reflected in a nice light setting. This skin has always to me been very character driven , it will be your shape that defines it for sure. The make ups are deeper , more sultry even though not especially dark, but you definitely want to dig deeper into the person behind the face.
The second Nyte n Day creation is Flamenco , a perfect dancing dress, but without any swishing skirts. This dress is hot, I had to get them all, and over a span of a few hours I think I managed to change into every colour while parading around in front of Mel while we went exploring sims.
I want so badly for Nyte to also make this as a tube option, only the black parts of the dress, so that we can wear anything we want under it. I would LOVE THAT.
Another perfect combo is the Slice set with the Sunday hair from Magika, recently Magika did a hair a day for a week , and this hat/hair style is fab. It’s kind of a sexy modern take on the old paperboy look. Also wearing again the fabulous Long Boots by J’s with the rounded toes.
The last pic is a set that I am not sure if it is old or new, but the Posh set is a definite fav. The colour is gorgeous and the set comes with pants as well as shorts. The style of the top is kind of like a reverse plunge. Was ever so excited too that straight out of the bag my hairwrap that comes with hair was the exact right shade of green.

A Vixen
More make ups to an already existing skinline, what could be better. With such incredibly inviting make ups to choose from it was a tad difficult to not keep taking pics today, and wow did I take a lot. So much so that I broke this post up into three, so as not to lose my way with info.
The Vixen II skin by Gala is one of my favourites, they are all incredibly inviting, but there is something so incredibly beautiful about this skin, and now that it is about to be released with new make ups at Skin/Shape fair, it just got a whole lot better.
The body of the Gala skin is beautifuly toned and rounded, in all the right places. I have such a thing for the Gala breast shading, as it has a wonderful and natural look about it. When you aren’t wearing tight fabrics, or the cleavage is a bit deeper than usual, they have a great and realistic look. Then when you do have tight, and lifted, they actually look as such.
With the new make ups in the Vixen II range, the lips are so deliciously glossy, and all the eye make up and extra detailing just enhances the whole experience.
Another huge fan of Gala skins, is CK Winx of Luck Inc, so I decided to team both stores up together for this post. The extra short and delightfully dipped mini dresses come in prints and solids, to be honest I can’t really choose a favourite as both have their time and place. I must admit to loving the brown with dots option though, those pink polka dots with the J’s round toe Long Boots in pink is just awesome.
Already a huge fan of the ankle boots by J’s these long ones are divine. They not only come in the gorgeous array of leather colours, but with the menu system you have the choice of square and solid heel or a stiletto heel, with and without belted strap as well.
Back to the dresses, I really like how even though in the vertical stripes one, I manage to look even curvier, which is a bonus , and in the Gala skin that just gives such a healthy and alluring look. Speaking of looks, my Thaw eyes by Fusemelon are now actually available – wooohooo – the Fusemelon store rebranded from Philotic Energy, opened its doors today, and the sim is wonderful.
I realised while in the middle of pic taking, that I hadn’t seen an announcement of items from Luck Inc for a while and thought that can’t be right, so I tpd over and sure enough things I had missed. The low rise Mini jeans skirt is just perfect to show off my Connect Me piercings from Skream. I had put these piercings on a few times to show you, but every time the clothing just wasn’t low enough , until now lol.
I grabbed the Leo top from one of the Naughty dress sets also by Luck Inc and just had to , had to get me some Half fishnets , these are so cool, and there are many many options in the pack. It is great that you can do things to one side of the lower body, I do wish though that you could do the same for the upper.
I changed into some LeLutka for this next, more revealing picture of the skins, the Zoe bikini’s are bright and beautifully colourful, they also have just that right kind of pull for the look of this skin. The poses I used for this last picture are part of the latest AO from Red Queen which is the super fun Bytch AO , this AO is not for the shy, it is all spunk.
These skins will be released at the Skin/Shape Fair that starts on Saturday so be sure to grab yourself some demos of everything and enjoy the fair.

Wipe Outtttttttttttttttttt
Going with a little bit of a theme in a round about way today. I actually blame Grazia for this one, I ran into her out shopping and she reminded me that it was about time I went to the store I kept saying I had to go to soon. So off I went and bought as much as I could before I got tpd away.
I actually snuck back again today to get more :P. The dresses the seperates, they all work. Also the featured items in this post are the beautiful new make ups in the Beach Skin range by Gala @ Curio , they are themed for the lovely beach/ocean creatures and forms of nature found in such places. The colours and blend of lips and eye makeups as usual are inspired. Ranging from dramatic black pearl, to the every present pure, from day to night you are covered.
Another feature is the fabulous NEW Ankle boots by J’s. These boots are just scrumptious, the colours available are a mix and match dream, and the texture of the leather is truly superb. My all time favourite thing though is that even though these are made with the invisi prim on the foot and the boot on the lower leg, which makes me cranky because I can’t wear my favourite boots with pants untucked, but JB has made a version for pants wearing, allowing the boots foot to be worn on the actual foot as you don’t need the upper portion of the boot anyway, YAY THANK YOU THANK YOU.
Lately Zaara’s has been providing us with not just beautiful clothing, but incredibly textured accessories, in the Jewelry department. The Vyomini chained bracelet is one such item, coming in gold or silver option, with onyx or turquoise as the choice of semi precious gemstones. The bracelet is a chain style wrapped around the forearm and wrist and threading its way to the palm. I really enjoy this style as well as all the other beautiful and inspirational pieces in the recent releases.
Hair has always been an addiction of mine, I watching creators grow, adapt and blossom is always a delight, and then there is the New to hair creators, Miel has just broken into the hair making market, via The Black Market, a new collab location of fantastic creative content. Also breaking into hair is our own Aradia Dielli who has recently taken up the styling wand and started creating hair for LeLutka, her first style is named after her much adored Sister Kiana of Addict.
Red Queen has been making requests of more Anime inspired hair, and Magika has been retexturing the whole store, with House of Munster having a 50% off SALE …it is a great time for hair :).
All of the fabulous Sand Shack Surf – I really have issues with saying that in voice lol – clothing I just loved wearing, the Dock dress in red was a second purchase, regret not getting all three now, it is a delightful frock, as is the Colleen. The Rachel one pieces are a divine swimsuit/leotard that I have paired with the foofoo tutu by Canimal, making a really adorable look.

Lifes a Beach
Kura had me at Sassyyyyy Newwwww. I love that girl, I cannot help it, she always makes me smile no matter what the IM is regarding. The New Alexis Jacket and Alexis pants sets, sold seperately are just too many shades of awesome.
The pants come as shorts, medium wide leg capri or trousers with and without cuffs options…but nothing prepared me for the bliss that is the Jacket. Vintage looking YES, beautiful ruffle style piping YES YES YES, but as much as all of those things are adorable, NOTHING compares to the flippy uppy bottom at the back of the jacket. Even without the pants, can’t you just imagine this with a system skirt…LOVE LOVE LOVE.
The sculpties and texturing is lovely, and so much so that I couldn’t resist showing it without the prims, which actually makes a nice looking shirt.
The new Beach Skins by Gala @ Curio are just another sensational product. The thing about the Gala line, is that she really does know what it is to be female, and that is so evident in how she packages her skins. Some women stick to a tone, they will not deviate from it, and if it is not similar enough in another brand they will do without.
I myself vary my tones dependant on mood, I can switch from pale to dark tan at the drop of a hat, but I do tend to stay around the sunkissed region. Now lucky for women like me, Gala not only does a wonderful range of tones, but she gives you a light and dark variation of each, as well as a slight variation on each make up, giving you so much more for your crazy days of not being able to decide on the look you want.
I swear this consideration of her customer base, makes for huge fangirlyness. I remember once a friend I worked with saying, you should never shop with PMS, because she came home with a faux fur bikini o.O , I kid you not , faux fur. So on those days when nothing sits right, your attachments wont attach, and you swear you want to go from light to dark or dark to light in skin, just coz, and no one can change your mind, at least you may be able to calm down a bit, and possibly save some buyers remorse with a Gala.
In the main picture I am actually wearing a special and exclusive to the Skin Fair that is now on for a short time, each wonderful designer was asked to make an exclusive to the fair skin/make up and Gala released the Beach Osprey make up, which is gorgeous, and a steal, where you get not just one tone, but all tones, in light and dark with two make up variations for only 1K.
There are slight differences in the Beach face, the mouth especially, whether already a huge fan of the Gala skins, or in the past them not suiting your shape, take the Beach for a whirl, and definitely do not miss out on the Osprey , the idea of getting all tones in one, is just fabulous.

What’s in a name
What’s in a name, well today lots and lots. A few months back Dove Swanson of Long Awkward Pose asked some of us to choose a rl picture that we like the real pose in, and she would try and recreate it for us. Yesterday she released the Wonder Girls pose set and I was so excited to see that my choice made the cut.
I decided it might be fun to do a pic with each pose; in a kind of look of the person it was named after, now I don’t know all of the people, and some that I do know I had to mix some things up, but it was my ownfun and entertaining way to cope with not being able to sleep.

You cannot see enough of the clothing to give it justice , but take my word for it, if you are into highwaist double buttoned sailor pants, THESE are a MUST HAVE. Also must haves are the thongs on my feet, they are FREE at the horror festival at Drowsy, get them in all colours , I was so excited to find a great pair , and free just made them awesome.

This pose, and the name, what else could I shoot but Lingerie, and fine a lush lingerie it is. Recently Blowpop released this set and it’s just awesome, seriously if Annyka doesn’t keep making clothes, we will have to stage a sit in. The lace topped stockings are sold as seperates, which is great as they come in different sheer depths and are a great price. Often you just need stockings because you have all the other pieces already.

The first time I ever saw this hair, or any hair by lamb for that matter; it was on Dakota Buck. This pose is fabulous as it has a definite, I’m waiiiiiting but I’m being very cool about it look. I mixed a lot of TRUTH items in this look, I adore the cardigan coat, big and long and wintery warm…it is so what I need right this second. If you look really hard I didn’t credit it, because you cannot buy it , but there is a sneaky touch of Savvy in there :P.

Lips that are full and poutyful, with a lovely and delicate skin tone, semi porceline looking but with some peaches thrown in.Also from the festival, I think I bought everything, the bag I am carrying was actually the bag the bandage eyes comes in, I thought the bag was so cute I had to wear it as an accessory.

Yes , not often or ever would you see me in a shirt like this one, Ryker made them a while back for fits and giggles. Definitely a pose in suiting with her character, peace love and mungbeans baby. I love these jeans by the way, they were made an eon ago under her Lix label, yes Ryker made them too, I don’t know if they are even sold anywhere as they were from her old store..but you should harass her if they arent.

Actually the first chance I have had to wear alllll the pieces to the Nizam set, it is primtastical but at my own home if anyone complained I’d have ejected them, well actually I wouldn’t the security would because they shouldn’t be in my house lol. Such an incredible set, and what better place to show diversity and your love for cultural pieces than in Second Life.

Cha Cha
Cha Cha Cha, ok only Cha Chaby Moonshine, but not even only. I’ve had this top waiting to be blogged for way too long, so here it seemed perfect especially in this setting to share it with you. The colours are fab and the two attachments give you the option of making it all one or a multi look.
Luck Inc Lowrise Capri jeans are smokin hot, and super sexy, the how low can you go music from Grease is spinning in my head right now, and the Cha Cha thing wasn’t even planned for that. The Lowrise Capris come in black, blue or dark blue denim, with retro screen printing and spray paint effects, or for the more subdued just plain, the tears and rips are great, but don’t expect to do a lot of sitting in these.
My footwear is a mix of the same designer, I am wearing The Caylla, and Maria by Ambra shoes in varying leathers, and whether heels or flats they are perfect for this look.
How fun is this pose ensemble, it is actually called Models Reunion, and I was able to of course take all the shots and layer to perfection with the VR Professional Posestand HUD, lock camera position and away you go, just as done with the face shots shown below.
I love hair, and as you know Hair Fair 2009 is days away, OMG I am so excited, and being on the comittee for my third year now has been awesome. I am going to try and be good this week, and prepare myself for the onslaught of fantastic hairstyles, but first I’m showing Samantha, Paris, Belle, Charming and Strippy by Magika .
June Skins as shown previously just got all degrees of Yummier, with new makeups added to the mix. Not only do you get the dark and light options, but also the freckles are superb. Also so exciting for this release is the NEW Bean tone, that is a darker skin that has been requested, if you have been looking for darker tones, and coveting the June skins, then get on over to Gala and try on all the Demos.
