FLW
You know I have to be honest, I didn’t know who Frank Lloyd Wright was before Second Life. It’s not that we don’t have influences of his in Australia, I mean we must. But not until Second Life did I ever really consider where those influences came from, or for that matter in how high regard a man such as he was; was held.
I am probably very underdressed for a field trip of this nature, but that is the other joy and learning experience that Second Life allows us, don’t judge a book by it’s cover, actually; just don’t judge.
Imagine what he could have done in Second Life had he lived to see it, but he is actually not only immortalised here by the place I visited today, but because of the NEW FLW Museum I actually learned that one of our esteemed Designers names ‘Fallingwater’ of Shinythings, is the name of one of his more famous builds. I wonder if she is a fan too and that’s why the name ?, the irony is that her last name is Cellardoor and from what I read, he actually got rid of most basements and attics that were in usual American architecture, now I need to know if Fallingwater actually had a cellar …argh – someone has to let me know.
The FLW Museum in Second Life is a beautifuly dedicated build to his memory, the large pictures of him are full of facts about the man, and his life. There is a tour of his work, and just a really nice vibe to the place. I do not know how the Museum came about, but if it is what I think , then someone who admires the man greatly has dedicated their time and energy to show and share that admiration with us..we are truly lucky that we can do that here.
The outfit that I am wearing is a mix, the skirt – which Ashia claims is NOT a skirt – is by Paradisis, isn’t it arrest worthy..the only pout worthy thing about it is that the panties do not come seperately and they look awesome, and I want them. But aside from that it comes on a billion layer combinations.
The incredible thing about Paradisis is that everything is sold either transfer or copy, depending on which vendor you buy from, so be aware that you do have that option, and don’t buy the incorrect one. The Skirt comes with the garters and fabulous stockings in three different colours. Incredible prices and everything , and I do mean EVERYTHING is handdrawn by the creators at Paradisis.
The hoodie is a release shortly after the skirts, and they are equally fab, coming on numerous layers with a great range of colours. The skirt also comes in other colours, I bought them all, one is the U.S version with red and white panties, with a blue denim skirt, very cute.
The Vogue Tank is by Cynful and comes also on a billion layers, in with or without garter straps option, I obviously didn’t wear that one with this look as I would have had way too many straps going on, but it will get a revisit soon. The tops also have a lovely lace trim as well as at the cleavage, but you can’t see it because of the layer combo I am wearing.
Lovely Tasha, is a skin that many know and have from LAQ, recently redone in the Glow series, it deserves a revisit…or a first. Due to it being a redo , the fat pack of this skin and a few others in the Glow range are a steal, and all come with the hair base option, that looks awesome with the latest release of the hair that goes with hair base skins…so much so that I was able to convince Arabella to try on the skins when shopping for the hair, and it was a win lol.
The nose on Tasha is adorable, and the make ups are just lovely, the lips will win your affections, as they are full and pouty and just incredibly done, they are a rich and full covering lipstick which is great for those that want to look like they are making an effort for a night out, but also giving you a day option in lighter colours.

Loose fit and Lovely
With the recent updating of the skins at Laq, I couldn’t wait to take them for a spin, but also wanted to show the clothing that I think is just super duper.
Claudia is one of the hair base skins, you get the option of with and without in the pack, and at the moment the prices on the fat pack are just great, allowing those that had the older version to update without a huge expense, and those that never had them before get a bargain indeed.
The overall detailing to the body, is beautiful, the attention to detail is evident, especially in things like the elbows and backs of knees…which for some reason I am drawn too all the time on skins. The bum is FABULOUS , the perfect bum for swimwear this summer. I am actually showing off the body in the White Lingerie set from LAQ also, it is a silvery white, that has a great thong style .
Just as I was about to get up on my VR Posestand tonight to shoot the LAQ items I had planned I got the notice of the New hair release, and OH MY GOODNESS, if you have need for hair to go with your hair base skins, this is the YUMS. I couldnt resist getting all three styles, I am showing Kira and Claudia in this post, but also Tasha is a must have.
Speaking of Must Haves everything I am showing today is…the Denim Dresses are fantastic, I thought they looked really nice in the store, but on is a hundred times better. Denim dresses like this were huge in the mid to late 80’s , everyone had a denim fetish back then, and these dresses immortalise that look in such a dynamic way. The denim texture is fantastic and the colour options are excellent.
Teamed up with the Cypa boots from Enkythings the look is wicked. Also superbly textured are the loose shirts, another item that had appeal on the rack, but up close and personal they are just wonderful. The detailing on the texture is kind of country, but without being overly so, which actually makes them even hotter. The shadow details on these shirts is excellent, giving a realism to the design.
I am wearing the magnificent Mo Pants from Miel, ahhhh another item where the ads don’t do them justice, and in no way am I saying the ads aren’t wonderful, all Miel ads are, but these pants are off the hook gorgeous.For such a casual concept they have such a classy stylish quality when worn. The sculptie work is excellent and they have the same adorable buttons as their jane shoes I am also wearing in the darks range.
As you can see the make up range on the Claudia skin will never leave you wanting, there is a choice for all needs, and the lipstick is lush, I really think Claudia is a very sexy skin, from not just the body perspective , but the character of the face itself. Try on the demos , especially when trying on the demos of the hair base hair… the two combined are gorgeous, and while you are there, if you happen to see Mela the store Manager , tell her hi from Sasy.

Seductiva
Rubberised and ready for Mel to come home. While I was waiting I decided to go on a quick run to some favourite latex/rubber stores. I always try to find new ones, but for all the tping around and finding such scarey places along the way, I have to often give up. Sometimes though , the same way I originally found this store, I get lucky and it all comes together marvelously.I’m shooting animations again today, so make sure you check those out.
Off the rubber for a moment though , YUM the hair. Both styles had me at hello, yes as corny as that is, it is true. Firstly the Beach short style I do not know if it is made for men or not, but I don’t care it is an incredible short style. The Babycakes, which has that song stuck in my head now, is just adorable, so cute but in that definite lolita up to no good way, one thing I have noticed about Curio hair in the past few years is that Rita always manages to release that naughty girl hair that is a MUST HAVE.
Oiled up and ready for time in the sun, and don’t you worry it’s designer oil created by Laq – that makes it acceptable right ? I swear as soon as the notice was sent that LAQ released oil I chuckled, because now people might stop picking on others that ask for it – lol , the oil is the light by LAQ as stated, and it comes in other depths of cover, I also have it in medium and wet, so much fun for photography and just lounging by the pool or at the beach…it also helps when putting on extra tight rubber.
The Key Largo Beach set is comprised of a pushed up tshirt slightly torn around the edges, bikini top and bottoms and very accentuating mesh booty shorts , and by accentuating you will have to find out for yourself.
The next set that I got today is the Womans Undergear set, this set comes with three tops and three bottoms options, on all layers. Due to the miracle that is Second Life, one of the tops is held on by a prayer and possibly spray adhesive…but that is what makes fashion in Second Life so much fun. One of the options of pants – not shown – are actually very wetsuit boardshort like in design, I am actually wearing them now beach side.
The Animations I have used for this post are again by Red Queen, the latest release today of the Seductiva AO had the sim packed to the rafters. The stands and different movements in each animation are just gorgeous, I especially love how the hands and arms mould themselves to the body. If you go and take a look, all the animations can of course be purchased seperately , so you can make your very own AO from bits and pieces.
