Fashionable Relay Challenge
“Welcome to the Fashionable Relay Challenge, where we each in turn (order to be determined later) put together outfits that integrate an item from the Person who is on the list before us.”
Yes a challenge with an interesting twist. This one is going to take some planning because of the way it is going to happen, so please note, that to participate you will need to comment on this post with your avatar name and the url to your blog, and we don’t want anyone to miss out.
Also this is not only for bloggers of fashion to participate in, anyone that has access to a blog of some sort should join in the fun.
The cut off time for commenting to be included will be Wednesday 11th Feb, that gives everyone time to see and hear about it. Once that cut off happens those numbers and names will then be posted with links to their blogs, and then it will begin.
How it works : Each person will have a number, and that will be the order they are going to post in. Each persons post will show a look they create and then the person after them will choose ONE item from that persons post to wear in theirs, the item you choose is totally up to you based on their complete look.
You can choose to wear the same skin as the person that posted before you, that is up to you , the relay item is totally your choice, but in the description/rules I will refer to clothing and accessories.
Example:Â Person one wears shoes made by designer A , Person 2 wears same shoes, Person three cannot . Each person should try and make their look as completely different as possible except for their relay item this way there should be a lot of diversity.
The way it works is that only two people will share the same item, giving so many different looks over all but relaying from each other, passing the fashionable baton so to speak :). Mind you if Person 12 wears shoes that Person 2 wore that shouldn’t really be an issue, but try and mix up as much as you can :).
Rules:
1. All items must be able to be purchased as separates, this way there will be lots of range, but it also makes it less costly for the person after you to pick their relay item.
2. All looks must contain at least 2 accessories (not shoes ) such as bangles, earrings, rubber ducky, wings etc, but the two must be less than 200L each ( again we don’t want people to have to spend lots of money) if you have special Jewelry you always wear that is far more than the price limit please wear others as well, the more you wear the more options your Relay partner has to choose from.
3. All looks must contain 3 different designers in it, we know people have many favourite designers they like to wear, but this gives people the chance to branch out and find stores they may have never been to .
4. Each Person must include a link to the blog that they picked up their fashion baton from at the start of their post, and at the end of their post must link to the blog they are passing to, that way each person reading, even if they are not aware of the relay will be able to go back and forward to follow the progression. The last person on the list will post at the end to the first person on the list, for the same reason.
5. You MUST be able to post as soon as possible, as we don’t want the relay grinding to a halt, if you find you are unable to post please contact me asap :), we want this to be fun not stressful for anyone.
6. Colours CAN vary, if you want to relay the persons hair for example but they are blonde and you only wear black , then you wear it black :). Same goes with shoes etc, as long as it is the same item its ok.
7. YOU MUST SLURL to the stores you are showing the items of, you will need to make sure that at the bottom of the post you list all items by name and the stores with slurls that they come from, that way the Person after you has a very clear list.
8. You cannot wear items that are not for purchase at the time of posting, that just means those items wont be able to be relayed and thats no fun :P.
Again I know this seems all involved and stuff but really it should be so simple as all you are doing is what many of you do daily, see one item in someones post that you can’t live without.
I can’t wait to start this and so many are already loving the idea , so stay tuned and don’t forget to comment here to be included :).

Scribble me this
I confess I am a chewer in RL, this has always been a really bad habit, and I am not talking gum. I have a fixation for hard plastic, the kind like they make pen lids out of, you know where you get it and it’s like solid and hard and you chew and it breaks down and can flatten out.
Well I have to confess it has never really just stopped at pen lids, in my lifetime I have destroyed at least 3 remote controls as well *blushes* and nothing is worse than trying to change channels holding a remote together because you absolutely stuffed it.
So aside from that you just have to love men that like to shop, so much so that Aaren and Newdoll and I were out and about and he mentioned Scribble, me being out of the loop a bit lately had never been , and WOW just WOW. I wanted to eat the whole store.
Now not because there are food stuffs there, but just because everything in how the store is presented looks good enough to eat. Not only does Radio Signal – how cute is that name – make fantastic clothes and accessories, but hair and shoes as well, but its her overall presentation that leaves me wanting more more more. The sim is just fantastic and reminds me of Emilie Simon’s film clips for her Music , and if you haven’t indulged in those I encourage you to You Tube her.
This first look is Cozy Princess by Scribble, the dress comes in a huge assortment of colours, as does everything in Scribble, and the sculptie work in this dress and the rest of them is wonderful. This dress is a tiered style skirt with the option of with or without bow detailing on the cuffs, collar and skirt, which actually means you can mix and match to only have bows on any of the three, or parts there of.
The texture used is a lovely knit look , and I love the collar so much that wearing this as a sweater with dress pants would be a definite as well. The hair I am wearing is also from Scribble, it is the Messed Up hair, and the textures are thick and heavy looking which is wonderful for this style.
The addition of the Headbands with small bows was an easy choice, also from Scribble and really very pretty, they fit well and you can resize them to fit whatever style you are wearing, they come in lots of lush colours and there are all sorts of different adornment options.
The shoes to the far left are the Ping Pong Platforms by Scribble , which are a wedge espedrille style sandal, with different ankle wraps for each leg, giving them a more authentic look – I have tilted the skirt for the sitting animation, it doesnt do that itself, but I made sure to make a copy before I did that lol.
Now the fabulous Jelly Pens I have in my mouth are also made by Scribble, I know that a hundred times I have been in world with a pen stuck in my mouth RL , so as soon as I saw these ones they were a must have, because this way I won’t end up with a mouth full of ink, or get yelled at for chewing up the lids, which you should never do to Jelly Pens I learned the hard way , because they tend to dry out :(.
This is the Cozy Party dress by Scribble, as you can see the dresses are very similar, but they do have little differences that are enough to have you standing there trying to decide which one or all you favour. This one has the double breasted buttons that I love, and each colour has its own contrast colour buttons, two things to point out, the far left buttons I tinted black, they come normally in a creamy yellow colour, and the second thing and this effects all, is that there is only a shirt layer and no glitch pants, so you will have to maybe raise the skirt a tad like I did if you have some height to you, also the buttons were all in my chest because Radio is much tinier than me shape wise.
Best way to go about getting prims out from your body is to alt click on the ground near your feet, not on your avatar and then drag your mouse inside your body, once you see the items right click and edit and drag back out. The style of the dress didnt really need glitch for the pics, but when out and about I will definitely be wearing some panties as I did during the post – thanks Kit from CKS for having some in her latest release so they were handy lol.
One thing you will notice about Scribble is that Radio seems to be a big fan of a particular Linden , yep Torley gets big snaps in this store, the bright Green Cozy Party is Watermelon , and there are Torley named colour descriptions throughout the store.
The Slouch Socks I am wearing are fantastic, again different looks for each leg, so you have that real slouched feel. They are a wonderful knit fabric also, and the majority of the colours compliment the base colours of all of the dresses at Scribble.
Now for the Candy Flats, these are fabulous, no seriously fabbbbbuloous. They are a ballet flat style but with a backless fit, so more of a slide than anything, there are different options for each, there are basics with and without straps, bows or rosettes, so you just have to choose which you love the most to get.
But it’s not just the style features and the wonderful textures I adore, its the squishyness to them. There is something about these flats that looks so soft and padded for a really comfy fit.
The hair I am wearing is from Magika and is one of their newer styles called Amber, a lovely semi braided loose style that is so sweet and the colours are rich and inviting. I know its been ages since they changed textures at Magika, but I am just so glad they did, because choosing one colour over others was too darn
Really there isn’t a need for a favourite with the Scribble Dresses, BUT if I did have to pic one this would be it. This is the Cozy Pea, I am thinking it’s name and style is derived from the Pea Coat look, and that is one of the main reasons I love it.
Double breasted buttons look all the way down YUM, also a little extra length in the skirt, and then there is the bows options, bollar bows and the back bow, isn’t it just satin glory.Again the buttons on the top I had to fish out, but the ones for the skirt are attached so that wasn’t hard, I also love the contrast in the brown of the aqua buttons, a great combo.
The hair I am wearing with this dress is the Vanora hair by Philotic Energy, this style is gorgeous, a wonderful flicked up ends medium length do, that has a wonderful layered cut look to it, a fab style for those that like an all rounder to wear the majority of the time, and for the other hair addicts its another Must Have.
What I adore about all the Cozy Scribble dresses is they have a real vintage style to them, that will have you wanting more more more, and to definitely come up with great accessorised looks for them, and they are so definitely boot perfect.
With this one I put on the Ribbon Legwarmers from Scribble that I did have to tint the ribbons a little bit to match the ribbon on the dress a bit closer. I know boots would be perfect but this was a nice change and again so many colours to choose from, and they are also a fab knit so you feel all snuggly in them.
For the shoes portion I actually went with the Kensington boots base from Tesla , they warranted another look as there are also many gorgeous leather options in those.
The skins I am wearing in all the pics are from Pulse, they are the Bella 2 skin which has such a youthful complexion, and really soft looks to some of the make ups, especially the ones shown today, which are Dreams, Feel and Fortune, I love how Lorac names her skins and make ups 🙂 .
The Bella 2 Skins are different than the past Pulse skins, there is definite differences in the face, especially the mouth, and I really like the way she has worked the skin overall, definitely DEMO DEMO DEMO time if you have any love for Pulse , and if you haven’t already succumbed to them in the past, now is the time, there are so many wonderful skins and tones in the store, you could be there for days.
Have fun shopping at Scribble, and totally take the time to explore the sim, the cafe and the gift shop, with the wonderful trees and other items for sale from her build,also the photo booth is way too much fun, and there is a fabulous lucky prize board in one of the alcoves that if it is your letter you choose out of the three prizes which one you want.

All in the Lips
Valentines day is fast approaching, for many that means a frenzy of crazyness trying to find the perfect gift for a loved one, others choose to ignore it altogether. Me I like to just embrace the myths surrounding it, well not exactly sure if they are myths or not, but as I wasn’t alive then and people say it isn’t so, then I just want to believe in it just because.
What I like to think of is that apparently St. Valentine was a priest who performed weddings on people that wanted to go against the laws of the time, and get married. How weddings were illegal I do not know but anyway myth or fact, the idea that people were secretly getting married and that he put himself in danger for love makes me think it’s a sweet day to celebrate.
Bebae has released Limited Edition Valentine Skins to celebrate, and these will be taken away afterwards so do not miss out.
When I saw the rich red lips of one of the two make ups, I thought instantly of Marilyn Monroe, now this woman was so unlucky in love, or maybe she was lucky many times over, who knows. I was at Icing the other day and couldn’t resist this marvelous Marilyn Inspired dress, not only does it look the part, but it has a gesture built into the skirt that you activate and then can type woosh and up the skirt goes, its fantastic. Now as romantic and beautiful as it is, the wooosh features will have your partner chuckling, and that’s the kind of night to remember I adore the most, I make Mel laugh all the time, he calls me his Payday.
There are two different animations with the skirt, and the hand in front of mouth one is too cute, and you even get a prim grate to put on the ground to stand over , for a more realistic effect, Miko has thought of everything.
Now in the ad Miko isnt wearing Marilyn hair :O, but on a visit to Curl Up and Dye a few hours later with Whimsy, we came across the perfect Marilyn Style. Curl Up and Dye does amazing themed hair, from so many different TV shows, Movies and general themes, she even has the flying Nun which is too funny.
This is a fantastic look as I said to really show off the beautiful skin from Bebae, I am wearing the Cream tone in this pic, because it really suits the high glam pin up era so well, and again YUM on those lips. The shoes which are a fabulous summer sandals called Sulaco and they are from Enkythings, these are such a great sandal for the vintage retro looks, and the white goes well with this dress because of the subtle shades of grey highlighting the white.
A complete about face in looks, I wasexplaining to Fia a little incident that occured the day before, and took him over to Vellas, we both fell for the GamePlayer Belt, which is funny because when I got it he said he wanted it and I almost gave it up so he could have it, but he bought it anyway, lol Men , anyway that shows that it is transfer.
The texture work on the prims if this belt is fantastic, and I was stoked to realise after purchase lol that there is redbull strapped to the back, those that know me know that I drink way too much of that stuff. What I fell for the most though was of course the mouse and usb plug, it looks just like mine, and the disc and case and video card – which I had to ask Fia what that was – is really detailed.
Now one thing I have to point out is that it has lots of little prims, meaning resizing COULD be a pain, but because of the Scripts R Us free Resizer script it was effortless.
To compliment the buckles and metal attachments on the belt I am wearing the Bliensen+MaiTai Vintage Leather Gloves, these are so cute, you wear the glove base, and then the cuffs that are studded and buckled and have not only a resizer script in them, but also texture change and metal change according to your needs to match the gloves worn.
Yesterday I was blessed with others to get a sneak peak of the soon to be opened Festivale Sim, which is the soon to be home sim for Long Awkward Pose and Pixel Dust, WOW is pretty much all that needs saying, as soon as you hear it is open get on over there.
Now I have to admit that I couldn’t help shopping while there, I think I bought something from every store there bar two that I had everything from already lol. The Hartelied Flat’s from Lazy Places are just adorable, you can get these in different versions in the black, or there are fantastic fruity ones too, I got the lemon as well, couldn’t resist…also if you are a big LP fan then you need to make sure and visit because they have a only available at Festivale pair of Red boots there to buy.
Seriously it is a brilliant idea to do that, because not only does it bring people to every one of your satelites but you are promoting the sim you rent at too, if every single store that rents other locations did that, my goodness the shopping across the grid would be fabulous, it would also open up the potential for sims that have stores that are similar to other sims.
Also while there I came across Skanks R Us, I have not been to Skanks for soooooooooooooooooooooo long, its terrible I haven’t and I do always mean to, but tonight made it possible for a visit. Now I have to admit to buying these Stitched Jeans for a very strange reason that ended up not true.
Ok don’t laugh at me, but look at my left leg under the highest rip, I SWEAR that the following rips and stains look just like a Garden Gnome, I swear I was in the little store and immediately they caught my eye and I was convinced that that is what I was seeing, but regardless of the me seeing a crazy blindfolded and tied up gnome that isnt really there, they are great jeans, the stitching is large and messy and they have four different options of wear.
I am wearing them with the Kellie Tank top from CKS Designs which has a lovely ruffle look with sheer topping, but as delicate and pretty as it looks it totally suits a darker and dirtier feel. The hair which I have been meaning to show for yonks is the Bunny style from House of Heart, this style has wonderful full rich curls and is topped with the argyle beanie which is texture change on click, so you should be able to match it to other favourite argyle prints you have YAY.
The Bebae Valentine skin with the pink lips would be a perfect all rounder skin, the beautiful body work is all there, and the soft gloss of the pink lips is fabulous, not only that, but with the Limited Time Only factoring in, no one born after that day will ever have it lol. So make sure you check them out while they are in the Bebae Main store and DEMO DEMO DEMO.

Dolly
A Quicky today, it’s only taken me 14 hours to get it to you , what a day.
I went to the Pixeldolls SALE yesterday, and actually haven’t even done the whole room yet, but wanted to share two things that need showing, and are MUST HAVES!.A while ago Pixeldolls opened a seperate section called Avatar, and I went over as soon as it was opened to check it out, now this was a store were you could buy ready made avatars for 500L, shoes hair, clothes skins and shapes, eyes and in some cases even AO’s.
PIXELDOLLS 50L SALE LOCATION HERE.
There were a few I had my eye on but did the um and ah thing. Well yesterday I realised that they are also part of the incredible 50L SALE, and two I just couldn’t resist are this first one which is Yvaine. I am not wearing the shape that came with, but it is also wonderful. The other thing you cant see in the pic, because it was really too hard to take pics of to cut out, the ingenious use of flexi alpha prims attached to the body with dazzling starbursts sprayed across them, so you look as though you are surrounded by starts, its just beautiful.
The skin is just fantastic in this avatar it is so dreamy, and the hair is adorable.. the outfit I can so see getting worn when not in full Yvaine mode as well, so much for such a great price.
This is part of another of the Avatars, this one though I did change more than just the shape. This is Galaxie and whatever your motivati0n for grabbing it, at 50L it’s a steal.
The catsuit is from the set, and it is just fabulous, the texture work on this is amazing, Pixeldolls has fantastic futuristic looking sets like this one, but again for 50L even if you can’t imagine when you would wear it, that’s the thing with our lives here, it could be tomorrow lol.
The set does come with boots, but they are texture boots with prim base heels, so I swapped that out for the fabulous Skai boots from Adam n Eve, these are a fab boot style for this catsuit. Also from Adam n Eve is the marverlous Bliss skin. This is the Red Candy in tone 2, a photosourced/handpainted hybrid style skin, Sachi has been doing a lot more of that mix lately and it is really starting to take her in a new direction as far as flexing her skin muscles is concerned.
Now though a lot of the body is covered for these pics, believe me it has all the attributes that make Adam n Eve skins popular, body shading and details are just fab, and nothing more fun than taking the express elevator to one of the Adam n Eve change rooms and trying them out for yourself. DEMO DEMO DEMO.
The other day Kallisti Burns of Discord Designs mentioned new Braids and me being me did a big ‘MORE LONG BRAIDS” plea. Yesterday to my surprise a New medium to long style of the braids I love was passed to me in my usual colours, and the name is Sasy, thank you so much for both things, the hair is a great mix of braids in a pinned back style allowing for fast paced moving in this stream lined look, I can so see riding a motor bike in this outfit.
Just wanted to share with you two must have 50L items from Pixeldolls. Don’t delay as I am not sure how long the sale is on for.

Sheila- Cringes
HAPPY AUSTRALIA DAY!!
Don’t get me wrong, if your name is Sheila it is not meant as an insult…but if you are an Australian female like me, you will understand the cringe. Right now I have Alf Stewarts voice in my head, and that’s never a good thing.
Earlier tonight I was shopping with Newdoll, and we came across a store I had been to before, but when Newdoll told Winter about it, we discovered he hadn’t it all started like that I swear.
So he was tpd in and he was starting to put together his Australia Day look, which it officially became 3 hours or so ago. He wanted some thongs – flip flops for you other strange people – so remembering I had seen some recently I tpd him over, while Newdoll went to have dinner, oh my goodness what we got up to while she was gone.
We some thongs for Winter, and then he wanted an Akubra , so we tpd and found a store with lots of goodies, but it didn’t stop there, oh no.. we then tp’d to one of my favourite Mens stores called Jungle Wear because I insisted that he needed a shirt like one I now owned thanks to Fia – it’s taken me two years to get that shirt lol.
So we were running around and we found him a ripped sleeve flanno – that’s Aussie speak for flannel plaid shirt. I put on mine and my cut off jeans shorts also from Jungle Wear, and then OMGoodness Winter trumped me with his cutoffs, seriously you have not seen anything until you see a Vampires bum hanging out the back of some seriously ripped and frayed denim shorts.
When looking at the pic of the men in the shirts, we came to the conclusion that Winter was in much need of a Mullet, which leads us to Aemilia Case of Philotic Energy, another Aussie. She had a style called Autumn that she deemed worthy of being a Mullet and the games began, an hour later, we were all at the Pond – left there in a hurry let me tell you – Newdoll was back and we were tping in every Aussie we knew online.
Which ended up with Aems redoing her Mullet as we all got crazy and doing a black roots, bleached blonde version , and I am so serious when I say that if there was a blondes with black roots pack in most styles it would be popular I bet :P.
To celebrate, and we so did, Aems is offering the Autumn Limited Edition Australia Day hair for 1L so you to can Bogan it up.
Now if you want to know what an actual Bogan is , you need to take a wander over to Winters blog HERE , because he has nailed it, and I am so glad because he got nailed earlier himself by a Koala, the awesome Koala I am holding is made by Faery Sola of Studio Sidhe – another Aussie – and was a present last Aussie Day.
The Semi uggs are from ETD, and the skin I am wearing by yet another Aussie is from Slink and called Anya in the base make up.
Now as much as I love this look inworld, I would never, I repeat NEVER ever have dressed this way in RL, I once went to the store last minute during winter and forgot I had my uggs I wore as slippers on my feet, and damn near had a fashion heart attack. I sent one flying across the carpark in my urgency to get them off my feet fast enough lol… the shorts yes, the shirt, again flannos are to keep warm in the dark behind closed doors in winter, mind you I have no issues with others wearing them lol.
If you want to see the crazyness that we got up to, and of course the totally awesome pic of Winter in speedoe’s then go visit the set at flickr HERE , thanks to EVERYONE that came to have fun last night, it was awesome.

Prowl
A few weeks ago, well the same day Newdoll and I went to Nyte n Day we went to League as well, as soon as I saw this first set I was smitten.
What drew me to the set was not just the brownzilla yummyness, but also the fabulous ropes and leaf fronds. The set is called Steampunk Apocalypse by League and there are so many ways to wear it. For a start you get two versions of the corset , just in case ropes aren’t your thing, then there is the bolero jacket that actually has shoulder pads but I opted for without.The detailing on all the textures is superb and very authentic looking, you can just imagine a survivor making such a great and fashionable item out of the bits and pieces she was able to salvage. The stitching on the corset is large and course, but incredibly done. One of my favourite parts – not shown- is the bra top underneath, made from a piece of fabric and just twisted and manouvered into a strapless bra. Everything in the set including the leg warmers and arm bands are just fun and quirky , I love the amount of thought that went into this set, as I said there are many pieces, including even a rope belt, that you would be able to mix and match these pieces with many others.
Such as the Shaman rust Jewelry set from Dark Eden, again someone working with the aftermath and putting together such fantasticly inspired pieces from the debris. I really love the hand pieces, they are so cute, and the cogwheel/gear necklace and earrings… there are different versions of rust you can get in these sets, I went with the Dark. Also from Dark Eden I am wearing the boot bases to the Vagabond boots, I will show them in full another time, but the bases worked really well in the mushroom colour for this set.
The hair is from Old Gravy, and somehow, which is amazing to me; I didn’t already own this style. It is the Candi style, and the bangs and those full tails are just too cute. Now I have to point out that when I was there a few weeks back it seems that Old Gravy have reverted to their old ways, some hair has demos, some doesn’t it’s all very confusing. But trust me, if one of the demos fits you then it all will, and it is all fab.
Now lucky for lag that day, because I was strolling about near the entrance to League and ended up in one of those fun lag pulls, you know when you are trying to walk and then suddenly you are traveling over sims lol. Well I found my self smacking into Unzipped which is just across from League and WOW what a store. It’s like this huge steampunk RP kind of metropolis thing lol, ok I don’t know how to explain.
First off Newdoll and I were entranced by the vehicles, especially the motorbikes/tanks, they were so many degrees of cool, unfortunately they don’t let you sit on the display one :(. Then the clothing got a hold of us both, I couldn’t resist this set, even though it will be very rare I will get a chance to wear it.
It is called Nocturnum and its wicked. You get three different looks in the one set, the long skirt , which I couldn’t help capturing in full swish as I changed poses. Then you have the short skirt option, which is good for a fast getaway – those future men are scarey, you can so tell I grew up in the era of Mad Max :P. Then you have the long pants and the long coat option, you could wear the coat train with the short skirt, but for pics it kind of goes through the skirt etc. I love the jacket in this set, and can see wearing it with all sorts of other pants.
There are so many incredible sets like this one, so make sure you check them out, I made it easy for you to go to both stores in one go :P. The boots I am wearing are again the Nomad boots from Dark Eden that I wore and showed closer the other day, the moss pair were a little light, but as they are mod I was able to tint them darker.
The hair again also from Old Gravy is Vicious, the long tails with the strips of cord, and that widows peak YUM YUM YUM ! can more hair people make hair with bangs like that pleeeeease , or Satine you make more, because seriously they are incredible bangs and I have both styles from Old Gravy that have them and I want MOOOORE.
The skins I am wearing in todays post are both from Lion Skins. They are the SU skins in sunkissed and pale, beautiful dramatic make up without being so dramatic you cant just wear them all the time. The bodies on the Lion Skin skins are beautifully shaded, the tummy is yummy. Definitely DEMO time in these if you didn’t already get over there when they did a huge revamp recently. The Lionskin skins are definitely wear as little as possible skins because the detailing on the bodies are really well done, you will be wanting to be half nakey as often as possible.
The poses are again by Street Magic and if you didn’t go yesterday and check them out, you can today :P.

I should be so Lucky
A while back the lovely Teagan Blackthorne put forth a challenge, a literature challenge…as in you needed to dress up like your favourite character from a novel. I wracked my brain and as I am so behind in posting lately it was difficult for me to try and detour away from my to do folder.
I didn’t stop thinking about it though, and yesterday I spent some time with Teagan and asked her straight out, if by literature it had to be ‘great works, not that I am against great works, I really just couldn’t get my head around it. One character kept calling to me though, and I ran it past Teagan and she explained she had never meant for it to be so complicated. That you could even do comic characters if that was your thing.
Well that was my thing growing up, you see I only read comics as a kid, and when sticking their nose in where it doesn’t belong adults would question my mum about it, her response was ‘My Daughter is reading”, I love her so much lol. Then one day I decided it was time to read some books,and the first Novel I ever read by choice was Jackie Collins, Hollywood Wives… I kid you not, I was 14 and read it in like 2 days. After that one I became a Jackie Collins fan big time.
After Hollywood wives I read Chances and then Lucky, and that is who is my character, the great Lucky Santangelo. She ROCKED!. Now I did go on to many other authors after that, I have read thousands of books from all sorts of writers, and genres..but there is just something about Jackie Collins that will always make her one of my favourites.
Ok I am sure you are wanting to get onto the clothes now lol.
One thing about Lucky was that she was a pants woman, and boots. So it was actually this release from Dela that got me thinking about her in the first place. This is the stunning Vivian blouse, it comes in a huge range of colours, and this white one is just wonderful, silky and beautifully crafted, The puffy sleeves and the back part of the shirt – hidden unfortunatly- are all sculpted and give a voluminous effect at the back, its a great way of doing what the template doesn’t allow for naturally.
Lucky Santangelo was a hard working business woman, but she had her own style and this combo is something I could totally see her wearing. The Linda leather pants also from Dela are also made in an assortment of fabulous leather colours, and you get three different leg cuffs with them. Adding the recent release of the Silver and Zebra Jewelry and belt from Dark Mouse I am stylin up a storm.
The jewerly comes in not only Zebra and Silver, even though its GORGEOUS, but also copper/tiger and gold/leopard, they are all as fabulous, and it’s so wonderful to have your jewelry perfectly match your belt.
Now the hair for Lucky look was a no brainer, the Delilah hair from Analog dog is just perfect. Another perfect style would be the Madison, also from Analog Dog but too full near the face for these pics.
Speaking of faces, the Belleza Belle skins were a great choice for this post also, as Lucky has an italian heritage I needed something a bit more tan/olive skinned, and these ones in the tan are just striking. I will go into more with the skin pics at the end.
One humorous part of the Lucky series of books, was the fact that she hated wearing dresses and skirts, but at times was forced into it by her dad. If that was going to happen though, it was going to happen HER way. So again to Dela and this ensemble would totally be in keeping with HER way.This is the Marni crop jacket and Marni skirt, I have tinted the belt slightly in this one as it was a beautiful bronze colour, but didn’t go with my plan. The fabric in these just like the Vivian blouse are a beautiful silk, and the way they sit is just magnificent. I added the Gauze beach tank from Lala Foofoo just for a bit of her own casual thrown in.
The boots are the High Ride’s from Adam n Eve, the semi biker style boot is total Lucky, keeping her edge even though probably having to go to some fancy schmancy event. Seriously I could put together looks for her all day, I am so glad I asked Teagan if any book or written works character was allowed.
Now as the Lucky books all centered around hotels and Las Vegas, there was lots of pool side conversations, this is the Wicked Bikini by VR Foundry, its a high maintenance bikini with a sporty yet sexy look. By highmaintenance I mean you need to be aware that it is sheer 😛 but if you are shy like me you wear both layers for more coverage. This swimsuit always makes me think of James Bond, and things like windsurfing and jetski’s.The skin tones worn in this pic are the tan and the sunkissed, so you can see the two different tones to compare, they both have really beautiful shading and that bum, wow. one of my favourite parts though has to be the heel and back of the ankle, I don’t know why, but it just looks really smooth and detailed. The tummy is nicely shaded and the cleavage is just delish.
Now what makes me very happy, as you know is that the skin comes in both shaved and not shaved versions, meaning that regardless of your inventory you will always have a suitable skin, no matter how low a designer takes their clothing. With these pics I am wearing the Tesa hair from Analog Dog, but it is a freebie at Savoir Hair’s location at Hair Spray , YAY Free hair.
( You can click the pics for bigger versions ) One of the other really nice features to the Belleza Belle skins is the brows, they actually look plucked but in a really good way, I mean if you have dark brows there are chances that a few hairs are going to stray, so these look really neat and not overdone at all. I have no concern about darker brows with skins, even if I am wearing blonde hair in world I don’t care too much as it’s obviously not my natural colour :P.
Another favourite is the mouth, that mouth is very well created, the natural lines to the lips and that minute dip of skin at the base of the top lip gives it such a natural look. Wonderful make up variations are available, some a bit more dramatic than others, but a nice mix over all. Check out the DEMOS as soon as you can, I have only shown a taste of the wonderful range.
I got new poses yesterday thanks to Teagan *shakes fist* lol , they are from a relatively new store called Street Magic, but apparently not new creators, ooooo mystery. They have hair, clothing , jewelry, shoes, and poses in their store, so you should check them out.
A moments silence for OnRez *sniffles*

Guide Me
No idea why I chose Guide Me as a title, but I guess that’s how I feel about our grid, and it’s people.
Anyway I was grabbing from different folders today for this post, and had a lot of fun doing so, hope you like.
So I was wandering around Popfuzz the other week, YAY for their New Main Store, and hadn’t realised that the Fuzzy sim was right next door. I knew Popfuzz owned it but didn’t realise they were connected, so I was wondering around with some friends I tp’d in and came across a PanJen store.
You remember a few weeks back I did a post on some Military coats of hers, well this is another, which also has fantastic Pinstripe pants.The long trench style Military Coat is warm and woolen in fabric, the prim work is lovely and the double breated buttons and epillettes are fab. You can wear it with or without the long coat bottom, and as I said the pants are just wonderful. They do only come on the pants layer but as they are copy/mod I was able to shorten them and tighten the cuffs to wear with boots.
The Newish Nomad Boots from Dark Eden really fit into this look, with the charcoal like leather and tarnished buckles, the solid heel works for that marching Millitary feel, well it does for me anyway. This outfit makes me pine for the snow I keep hearing my favourite Men whining about each day, Fia says he understands that Snow is a miracle, but he is sick and tired of shoveling the miracle lol.
To accompany the pinstripe look I went with the New hair from Magika called Sneaky, the striped scarf/headband look of this short do is very carefree but stylish all at the same time, it can be casual or a bit dressier dependant on your mood.
Bebae Belina skins are one of the recent releases in the Skins line, and the shine on those lips is fantastic. This is the Cinna Bare-2a and as a bare skin this is just beautiful, that no make up made up look with a rich and glossy mouth is exactly the type of skin you want as your all rounder skin. Torie does such great work on really detailing the face, so that you come out looking fresh and enticing, without having to try too hard.
This next set is from Zenith, awhile ago Cajsa IM’d me and asked me to meet up with a designer friend of hers Miffyhoi, and the funny thing was that I already had a few things from the Zenith store. Miffy was lovely enough to pamper me with lovelies and this set Baggy just called out for some attention.The set even comes with the cute trainers, the baggy pants are sculpted and fit really well, the addition of the belt with pouchbag is extra fun, but that fur collared vest has to be a fav part for me. One thing that stood out though and needs to taking note of, is that the bra is on the undershirt layer, and the tat is on the shirt layer, a bit odd to do it that way, but if you wear your own favourite tats I am sure you will be able to find your own black bra to wear with the combo, or change it up with a cute tank or shirt.
Adding more Dark Eden with the Lilith Set armbands, to sort of offset the strapped belt I was all set to street dance, lol sorry it’s one of my favourite style of movies, I love all those “I want to be a dancer but I don’t get into the school I want to, so I end up street dancing and then get accepted” kinds of movies. This outfit is totally that look lol.
Ashia and I went to Discord Designs last week and I had seen the Carter style before, but only this time around realised that there was in fact a head covering version. You see the Carter style is a braids hawke, how cool right ? but as much as I am totally never worried about being bald, a hawke in this style just didn’t work for me, but with the head covering version, as in hair styled to look as though the hawke braids are pulled up from long hair rather than shaved its all good, you get both versions in the pack :). There are such fabulous braided styles at Discord Designs you really need to try on all the Demos.
This Belina by Bebae skin is the Cinna: Berry-1b, full berry coloured lips with that marvelous gloss, and the tummy on these skins and all the Bebae skin range is toned well for a fit without muscley look.
While taking the pics of Baggy I was in IM with Miffy of Zenith and she passed me a New set called Victoria, perfect timing as all morning I had in my head that today I was going to show at least one of the Newer colours available in the fantastic Dela Ballet Slippers. I loved when these were released in black and crimson, but the newer colours just add so much fun to looks. The sculpted slippers are just beautiful, the shape of the foot covering, and the really well made ribbon ties around the lower leg give them such authenticity.The Victoria dress by Zenith is a lovely short corset style with a short flexi skirt that can be perceived as a tutu. A very burlesque look that you could probably dress up a lot more than I have today. The charming neck choker is a rose inlaid with a large pearl, as is part of the set. The dress comes in other colours, but I was all about embracing the purple, so much so that the light Purple in this Gorgeous Gem hair by Magika was a must. This style is soft and flowing and has these delicate gemstones decorating the hair, such a fab look.
This skin by Bebae is the Belina *Cinna: Cat-2a, again such beautiful glossy lips and just look at the cleavage, perfect for a corset style dress like this one. The shading on the Bebae skins is wonderful and one of the best reasons to check out a Demo for yourself. I am using the Long Awkward Pose poses in the pics today, but the middle picture in this one is an animation from Mamesando, that store has the most awesome animations, they are fun and enchanting and you have probably seen many girls lately suddenly bend over and wriggle their bums, that is a classic Mamesando pose lol. They are all adorable and you can spend eons of time checking them and the incredible avatars they have there, thanks to Newdoll for taking me there one night.
Lastly we have the Temptation set from Stellar, Stellar is the rebranding of Stellar Designs by Lexi Morgan who has recently created a new logo and dropped the designs part of her business name. When you branch out into all sorts of creations like Lexi has sometimes a rebrand can help broaden the reach to a wider audience.The Temptation set is appropriately named, the bra and sheer crop top are definitely enticing, but oo la la on those leather pants, just as well the Bebae skins are low enough on the privates to accomodate – even if not shaved grumble grumble – yes I feel cheated, having been subjected to Torie getting nakey in the middle of a store once while discussing that exact topic and then her releasing a shaved skin to much joy, and now to go back to not I WANT MY INNOCENCE BACK *giggles*. This rich and red lipped skin is the Belina Cinna Smokey 2b, the eyes are fab but again it is all about the mouth, whatever it is that Torie does to get such incredible mouths she needs to never stop.
Now back to the Temptation leather pants, the dipped v front pants come in both pants layer and underpants for a boot fit, and the stitching and the hipster cut are just fantastic, these are definitely a must have.
The Venus boots are also from Stellar as Lexi has branched out into footwear they come to just below the knee for me, but dependant on your height that will vary a bit. They are slouchy and strapped with silver buckle detailing up the height of the boot with matching silver heels.
The last hair shown is again from Magika and is the Mon style, the hat hair is just super, the slouchy beanie is a thick wool style and the two braids are shaped very stylishly for it to fit exteremely well. This style would also look fabulous with the Panjen Military coat shown at the top.

Thinking about Darker Tones
Ok so I had a thunk, and Fia had half of it really, we do that, hash things out and I have my eureka moments lol. It’s great when you have best friends like that, you just banter at it, and great thunks evolve.
So anyway, last week I went to find one of the stores I had posted on as the slurl was wrong, and while I was there I came across a mag I hadn’t seen before, it was Ebony style and it was its first issue, but that was last year and I don’t know if there has been issues done since, or if there is more to come. That’s totally a tangent but anyway, I have seen and heard numerous times comments made about black skins, all of the why’s and wherefores about them not being as available as the lighter/whiter tones.
Now as a person who has never needed to shop for a darker skin, I totally understand that it would probably really be frustrating, especially if looking for the colour of skin that you are in RL, I mean I remember the big release of CS doing redheaded brow skins being such a huge deal to so many redheads… again another tangent, but something that was a very big need obviously for them to go back to PS and do a whole range with redheads in mind.
Ok so anyway, we were talking about it, and the usual thing came up, as this has been my experience in work and my dealings with skin makers. Many skinners feel that when doing the make ups on the darker tones it changes the make up. This is true, and well it makes sense, it is also the reason I helped Aleri name every one of her make ups with each tone a different name, so that any slight differences wouldn’t matter as they had their own name lol.
Ok so rambling on, so I said to Fia the thing is that people need to stop fearing the darker tones, instead embrace them as their own skin line, stop trying to make a darker tone with the same whatever amount of make ups you made for the original tan/sunkissed/pale/goth whatever tone.
Make a black skin with black tones, there are so many different shades and tones in black skin. The thing is too that its not only african or african americans you should be thinking about, but what about all the islanders all over the world with darker skin.
I also dont think that anyone particularly cares that the sunkissed berryguavadotsparkle make up is the exact same on a darker tone, because that is what demos are for. No one wanting a darker tone skin is going to try on a sunkissed demo and expect the make up on the dark tone to be the exact same, again that is what demos are for. If someone tries on a skin in the tone of their choice and they don’t like the make up they don’t , end of story, they aren’t going to buy it just because they thought it looked good on the other tones first.
I am sure it will happen, that someone will see the make up you do on one skin range, and be dissapointed that its not available in another, but thats just how it is, don’t fear it embrace the diversity, thats the whole point right, thats why people are frustrated in the first place.
Go wild, be creative, use it as a chance to explore and expand your horizons, ask in your groups if anyone has a particular darker tone they love that they would want to see , grab some regular customers that might be seeking a darker tone and ask them to be beta testers for you.
Spread the word that you are going to give it a go, and ask people to give you feedback on what they don’t particularly like in darker tones already on the market – try not to get them to put down other skinners by name, but just things that they have seen that don’t really work for them. I know from experience with one friend that opts for darker tones, that she hates when people make the faces look lighter as though they are wearing the wrong colour foundation. I’m guessing thats the workaround for the make up issues.
But yeah that was my thunk today – and Fia’s, and I really think its something people need to give a go, I mean just think of it this way, those tones you end up with the darker tones, well the lighter versions could totally appeal to many other nationalities also.

Nyte Nyte
Ok so the poll ended up at 65% saying No they didn’t mind notes on flickr pics, 19% said they do, and 16% said sometimes, so that still leaves me where I was at, because I would be worried that I would note on the yes persons pics lol. Now I feel more frustrated than before *sooky la la’s*.
Tonight when I got on Milli Santos IM’d me about her New Couples poses, Her and Newdoll have opened a store together at Popfuzz. The store is called Ex-Pose and Roodle Noodle – so no more noodle box but a bigger brighter funna shared space with two aussie hellions.
Now being one person, and Mel and Fia not being around, I had to come up with a way of showing them to you on my own. Thank goodness for the VR Professional Posestand and Hud by VR Foundry , or I wouldn’t even have been able to take on the challenge. So with my total security of the locking camera feature I was able to take these pics as one person doing two poses.
Now the thing is that these couples sets are “Supposed” to be all romantical and stuff, but I had another thought entirely. Over Christmas I bought the St Trinians dvd, always a huge fan of the originals I wanted to see what it was like, and it was on sale. I am sure I am not the only one that does this, but watching the movie I got so excited about the clothes and shoes and what not, constantly thinking “ooooo I wanna blog that look”, and so on.
Those girls were crazy and so much fun at the same time, anyway I realised that these New couples sets by Ex-Pose could allow that to happen.
First poseball set is called Cheeky Kiss, but in my St Trinians mode it’s more of a ‘Do you wanna know a secret” pose set lol. On a shopping trip with Newdoll a few weeks back I totally shopped with this future post in mind.
We were actually at Popfuzz – see fate I tell you – and had come across the Nyte n Day satelite store, wanting to go and check out the main as it had been far too long, we tp’d over and I headed straight for a set that I had coveted on Kit months ago. The set is the Libertine set by Nyte n Day .
The Libertine set comes with all the pieces you could need to look all Private Schoolgirly, one of my favourite parts of this set is the System Skirt, nope the skirt isnt system its the bottom of the jacket that is, a totally perfect use of the flared out upper of the skirt layer giving the blazer more body, GENIUS.
Now the tall me on the left is in full Libertine, the shorter gossipy me is wearing the Salopette Fishnet Stockings from Dutch Touch . Not only do you get the stockings but the fab suspendered look is part of them, so very racey indeed.
Both hairstyles are from Kin , yes I ended up going back again with Digit and we shopped like nutters. The very 80’s and totally how I wore mine back when I was in High School style is called Karei, a side pony style that is just totally fun… the style on the right and the larger pic is Shannon , also very 80’s for me with its layered look , but mine is and was longer.
Having shown both in the past, and so not caring that I have lol, because I will again. The two shoe styles are Diva on the top and High Oxfords on the bottom, both from Tesla and both fantastic shoes for this and many other looks.
The second poseball couples set is Gotcha by Ex-Pose, I told you that those girls were crazy, but you can totally see when done with a couple this pose is hot hot hot. When other schools came to compete with St. Trinians girls they were going to have to accept that there was going to be a smack down lol.
That’s what I really like about photography inworld, largely in part to the fabulous pose makers, and the minds of the individuals that purchase them – or in this case are lucky enough to be given them.
It’s totally up to you what you see in a pose or set, something created with a specific theme in mind can be used in such a different way, and that’s what makes us so lucky. So the poor me getting smacked down is wearing the Emme set by Nyte n Day, this is available in a range of different colours, but I was feeling the Maroon colour as I think , dont quote me, but the rivals of St. Trinians had a similar colour in their uniform, and also because I really like the combo of Maroon and grey :P.
Emme is semi high waisted and the short pleated flexi skirt is just lovely. My only pine with this set is that the high waist band portion isn’t on a seperate layer if I wanted to wear that look with other shirts…but still can wear the skirt with longer shirts to compensate.
The rough and tumble me is wearing the shirt layer and skirt from the Libertine, because you wouldn’t want to get your blazer dirty, and any evidence of a brawl can be covered up that way lol.
Last week I think it was, Ashia Tomsen of Freestyle, IM’d me with ‘You like Latex don’t you” or something like that.. a big YES and a LM was passed. She blogged a wonderful group item from SHI and was letting me know there were more goodies to see.
The store is very fetish orientated, so be prepared and respectful of that. Well worth the trip, because not only do they have fabulous latex clothing, but OMG the booooooots, and OMG the prices. These boots are the Black Leather boots, I also have the Latex and the NEW released yesterday OMG Whimsy will die, Ballet Boots YUM YUM YUM YUM YUM YUM YUM , those I will be showing soon also.
The leather work and sculpties on these are marvelous, and the buckles and straps running up the whole length of the boots are divine. I can’t wait for more releases in the future from SHI and I am so greatful to Ashia for letting me know about this store.
High Oxfords from Tesla also come in a Berry that just go perfectly with the Emme Maroon/Grey by Nyte n Day. The hair on the rival me is Shaggy Chic by Dernier Cri this style can withstand a smack down as its tousled to begin with, the hair on the ruffian me is Short Layered Aveda by ETD , got to love the Aveda styles they don’t date at all.
The Oopsy Daisy Star bandaids I have on after being beaten up are really old from House of Paisley thats now Crush Factory , not too sure if they are still available , but handy to have when your school has a rival .
A long time ago Fleur created the Biba make up for the Vivant skin line, now this was a favourite of Kit Maitlands for so long, and is so beautiful. Recently they released the Biba make up in the newer Allure skin line and the outcome is just as tantalising.
I am wearing both the Truffle and Alabaster skin tones in the Biba 1 make up, the rich lips and dark and smokey black eyes are fabulous for not only rebel teens, but all sorts of fantastic looks. But if you were anything like my friends and I back in high school , heavy eyeliner was the norm.
Make sure that if you were a fan of the Biba Vivant you venture into Fleur and check out the Biba Allure it really is gorgeous.
