blog – I challenge YOU
When you have already done half of the work, why not proceed all the way? That is my thought for this year so far, and nothing could be more obvious in this post for that exact thing. I was piecing together bits and pieces last night, and again finding so much love and attention in older items. I spent the night on my stand while Whimsy was on hers, chattering away…I love when we can do that. Mind you I then took her to see the most incredible sculptures I have ever seen in SL , and I lost her …because she went wandering off to explore with her new pc power :). I am so glad she got a new computer and now gets to enjoy even more of SL.
The first picture is not so old though, newness actually. With a little bit of older around the middle. I was swapping back and forth and trying different things, and ended up keeping on my favourite waist sash. Seeing as the skirt is so sculpted, the sash gives me that comfort zone when changing poses, to lessen the sometimes dug into the waist that can occur…this is more to do with AO’s than poses, because I avoid that.
Thinking that even the highwaisted leggings from Zaara’s would work in the same regard for a lot of things – note to self .
I am all up in that jacket, I grabbed it last night, and adore that it comes with an extension much like a tails coat. Worn on or off the jacket is a beautiful Must Have, with not a touch of fitting required…yay. I was tempted to go with shorter hair, or even an uppydo for this look, but found that I preferred the medium length style so much more, and honestly the softness of it is great.
Then it was time for the absolute showstopper. There is something about new skin and new poses, that really makes me just so excited to blog. Poses definitely, we couldn’t get by without them, and I honestly do not know how we managed earlier on. I remember my first big poses purchase was a set from Digital Dragon Designs, 500L for thirty poses – what a bargain…and I so loved them.
Today I have new poses, and as you can see in the pictures, they are just lovely to work with. Putting the hands just were they need to be for my shape, which is definitely very cool.They are a new release , as is the hair, by fri.day, and both are equally delightful.
The Skin is the about to be released IFe by LeLutka , and as much as I have wowed in the past about Estelle, and Eclat and every other skin since skingloss, this one is just OMG wonderful. The ONLY thing that I would have to say I want different, would be that I wish the beauty marks from Estelle were on this one too, but then if that was the case I wouldn’t be inclined to back and forth, and I am so doing that. The make ups on this skin are from the base to rich beautiful red lips, and a whole lot of details in between.
I will be featuring more of the make ups in the future for sure, and even though they are different and I did have to tint, I just had to wear that hair extension again from the Eclat skins pack. I just had to get my hair out of the way to show off the NEW and so sexy collar by Sissi. As soon as I saw it on release I was intrigued, and then last night when I put this look together I knew it was perfect. So if anyone lagged on the Luck Inc sim for a few moments around 1am ish it was me and my four billion prims tping in and out again lol.
Ok not that many , but let it be known…the skirt alone is around 700 prims, so be very careful of where and what you are attending in it. I checked map before I tpd, the sim was actually empty for the first time ever that I have seen. Do of course go to events in it, just not something like hair fair lol.
Now the outfit itself is all win. It is actually a skirt from a gown by House of Nyla. I have previously shown the full gown, and knew that I wanted that skirt for this shoot, but wanted more of a solid look than the detailed one that comes with. My only obstruction was that the lower portion of the corset like top is actually on the pants layer/glitch pants, so that made it more complicated. But then the saving grace, and after only two tries elsewhere, one being the waist sash from Persona again. I thought LUCK INC does perfect layers. You see the other option even though they had a jacket layer, didn’t extend it, and relied on the pants layer to do that.
That sounds like my theme right, well it actually isn’t but could be lol, if you are extending with a jacket layer, then please actually extend it, because you never know what someone is going to want it for, to put together a look.
Anyway I found perfection in the dress by Luck Inc, it was not only the right layer that went all the way down to where the skirt started, with the glitch pants of the skirt still wearable under. but it was also a perfect shade of black , so that I could actually wear this out and people would think it was made that way.
Now the reason for my thought process was actually this, Luck inc and stores like it have so much talent, and yet stick to one concept because it works so well for them, but CK Winx I am challenging you to challenge yourself…I WANT A LUCK INC GOWN!

blog – After the Party was over
So last night at The Deck Cajsa Lilliehook of It’s only Fashion, and her partner in crime Gidge Uriza held a Burlesque event.It was so much fun, Whimsy, Ashia, Sofia and Mel did an incredible job setting up, it was a definite transformation to the once open space Deck House.
We had a fantastic night, with Cajsa playing the most amazing DJ set, the music was fantastic…for me who is not into doosh doosh doosh lover, I was in music heaven. We had so many lovely guests turn up, and dressed to impress which was so much fun. That was the whole idea for Cajsa wanting to do it, so I am glad that many made that effort.
I awoke to not only an offline from Whimsy declaring that she must have more parties, which we are excited about…and of course the latest release from Fri.day which to me was the perfect snuggle wear for the morning after. Comfy zip up pullovers, 3/4 sweats that are that nice soft tshirt fabric that aren’t too heavy…and adorable arm warmers, in both plain and nordic, yay for more Nordic to combine with other styles.
As well as NEW HAIR, this style being an ever so cute pinned and clipped style, that could totally be the aftermath of last nights bob from Lamb. I wanted to show what I ended up wearing for the event too, I have blogged the Burlesque set from House of Nyla in the past, but it is so sexy it gets another shot. If you want to check out the others at the event you can at my Flickr here.
The fans I have on are part of a free item from Four Yip, all her items are free and I couldn’t have had so much fun decorating if it wasn’t for her incredible gifts to Second Life, her generosity and creativity is exceptional, thank you.
Chillaxin in my living room, on my delish Artilleri furniture, listening to Mel work… it doesn’t get better than that.

Oh Oh Oh OooH Oh Oh
The release is fast approaching, the show featuring the latest releases from Anya Ohmai was such a huge success. Not just because of the production and new items; but also because watching someone emerge from; an up until then creator of more casual styles, into one of true glamor was a delight.
The Silhouettes collection was awe inspiring, but then so far everything Anya has done has done that. Myself IMing her at the opening of The Deck to tell her her avatar was adorable, to then her being everywhere. Her creations, blogging, art work and visual presentation has been captivating to say the least.
My favourite thing about this collection, is not just it’s overall sleekness, that of course is wonderful. But it is the ability to interchange many of the pieces, and if not with themselves then definitely with others. I got to speak to Anya a little bit before the show, and she really pushed herself for this collection, being showcased at the LeLUltra Show by LeLutka would be nerve wrecking for even the most seasoned Second Life Designer, and she nailed it.
Hats are going to be more popular too this coming year, big hats, small hats…sedate and over the top hats, Whimsy is going to love 2010 because it is going to be the accessories year for sure.
Soccer Mums in your SUV’s get out of the way, because my darlings Glamor is back..and 2010 is going to be it’s year.

Tickle my Ivory’s
I am really delighted in the New Ivory skins, there is something incredibly beautiful about being this pale, but with such a divine porcelain like quality. The Ivory skins come with soft make up that just accentuates the concept of the skins. I have always veered back and forth into silvery hair, going white often as my choice for fantasy play.
If you wear a lot of black hair, for the most part you will have a considerable amount of white to silvery/grey styles as well, what with it being so popular to make them a pack together in many hair stores. Todays silvery delights are both from House of Heart , they have a definite softness to the texture that really works as a bealievable mix with the brows of the Hope Ivory by Tuli.
The first outfit I put together comprises of the Margo coat, this had myself and Newdoll zooming over to LeeZu as soon as the notice came through, I swanned around in this for a day and a half, and am so glad especially now that I opted for the silver. Everyone in the world needs ruffle panties, and my favourite are the ones Kit Maitland made years ago, that actually have ruffle prims…but a few months back when shopping for a skirt for Meko we went via Katat0nik and I just couldn’t resist these panties with the ruffle as a texture, perfect for a look like this one where you couldn’t wear prims as well.
Yes I do realise that I am wearing panties and a jacket as an outfit, but if it can be done anywhere it is here in Second Life. The dress I am wearing in the second picture comes with that adorable pillbox hat. So perfect for the skins make up I actually modded the hair to remove the large net bow it had, Yay for select linked parts and shrinking and alpha textures….that way if you cannot rez the hair to mod you can just hide what you don’t want…don’t do so without making a back up copy first.
The dress itself is by Prelude and is the Estelle dress, this comes in a myriad of colours, but in keeping with my theme the silver was perfect. I had the pleasure of meeting with the designer Polaire and her good friend Angelli at The Deck one day, they are such delightful ladies, it really was a great afternoon/evening chatting with them both. Angelli has her own teen themed blog which she only recently started HERE .
This dress is so stylish and elegant with it’s vintage lines and classicly beautiful fabric. We all know I love system skirts/dresses, and this is truly a marvelous one.
