Level Up
Today we had a visit from Meko, if you don’t know him, he is the adorable Pink Fox cubbie that created my Sasypants website format. He is incredibly talented, and we have missed him so much. He went and got a job part time while studying and is actually doing what he did for me for a job, which is just fantastic and we are so proud of him. So while he was here, Whimsy of course wanted to dress him up, and get him some new hair.
I threw Ploom into the ring because for one, I hadn’t been since the big rebranding – shame on me, and two the styles that Ploom when it was Deviant Kitties did in the past were always really cooperative for furries. We went and of course poor Meko didn’t stand a chance, because once Whimsy and I saw all the lush hair it was all over red rover. I fell in love 5 times, I actually could have bought the whole store, but I wanted the first time to be styles that went POW!
Not only did the hair go Pow though, but the skins that Whimsy located in the other room are just gorgeous. I blogged Deviant Kitties skins soooo long ago now, the skins were actually on sale before being discontinued, but I am sure I still have them somewhere and I loved the fancy make up and really different looks that Helyanwe did back then, and still now.
Now for me the nose is a little darker than I am used to shading wise, but it is so charming a look that it takes only moments to be captivated by it. The lips are too gorgeous to leave behind and each skins make up comes with two lipstick opetions as well as freckles – not shown. I am so glad there are options too, when it comes to the peacock and seaweed etc, having the option of lighter more nude like lips makes them not as fantasy and definitely a Must Have.
Back to the hair, Deviant Kitties as it was known before Ploom was a definite must stop shop for all your fantasy cyber punkish style hairdo’s, and it was awesome, but as the grid is forever changing that had to change a little to be more lucrative. Helyanwe has found her absolute niche, she has adapted what she was so well known for, into a more every day come as you are middle ground, and I for one and cheering from the sidelines. If rebranding needed a posterchild, Ploom is it in spades. Not only has her store and brand polished up, but Helyanwe has leveled up!
The shoes I am wearing in the first pic had Newdoll and I drooling at Shoe Fair. The Wood-en shoes are by Magnifico and at first glance they look like torture, and that in itself is enough to turn your head, but when you actually look up close and personal, you can see that the foot does not sit any differently than in your favourite heels, it is all smoke and mirrors and incredible detailing. I found the colour hud harder to use than most, but eventually I got there…the resizing is local chat then click the shoe, so make sure you read the notecards provided, or you will be at a loss to know how.
These shoes are real showstoppers, and I hope to see more inovative footwear like this from Magnifico. Definitely worth attending the Shoe Fair just to try them, because they are exclusive to the fair at the moment. Their asian styling made it a perfect fit for the latest dress by DCNY this lovely Jasmine dress that has such pretty detailing and comes in a great range of colours. In the back pic, my shoe porn, I am wearing the sexy sheer teddy from underneath the Fantasy dress from VR Foundry, very naughty and very sheeer.
The second pic contains the latest and a recent release of Surf Co shoes, all again at Shoe Fair. Emma always provides the perfect colours for her footwear, so it is just as simple as opening a folder to find your coordinating pair. The new belts by Nyte n Day are gorgeous and make a great mix match with the moccasins especially, they have that same american indian thing going on – and seriously if that is not pc to say, I don’t know an alternative I am Aussie remember.
Another absolute love affair I am having lately is with Pig, but then so is everyone, but it is because I always feel like I am finding my own little treasures there, it is like finding the perfect out of the way op shop that no one has picked over yet. The cardigan I am wearing is definitely one of those must haves, YUM.
Ok lovely ladies that all converted to Kirstens, for some reason it didn’t work for me tonight, crashed every time I tried to take a pic, but that is cool I went with Restrained Love instead, because it also has the add layers thing, but seriously it also has multiple attach, but without having to do anything but wear, funny part is though, it doesn’t remove the other, so I was wearing four shoes and two hairstyles at one stage lol. In the necklace pic, I have on three, no editing recquired, and as long as someone has the 2.1 I think they can see it ok. Anyway just sharing the love if someone is looking for lots of attachments. The viewer can be found on the regular website under the 3rd party viewers section in downloads.

There be Dragons
I was having a ball running around the grid today with Mel and Whimsy. Mel decided to embarass me in open chat because he kind of forgot that there were people under us, lol. Now I am standing in a cave with two fabulous women as they discuss the new breedable Dragons that just opened Beta at Precious Dragons – I wonder if they eat bunnies?
So I went running around Shoe Fair again today, and could not resist the new Shiny Things shoes….especially in the black and white. I wanted to show that they are so versatile, not only in a funky and fun look on the left, but also the more sedate look on the right.
Another place I had to drag Whimsy to today, was The Body Politik as it is soon closing down for an exciting new rebrand, but with that going on, all of the items are on sale at fabulous prices. One of the awesome items I got last week when I was there is this incredible oversized hat, the suede hat is a must have, and fit beautifully over my new hair by KIN which is next door. If you go to TBP sim you need to check out all of the little stores of the build, because there are different departments all over the place.
Don’t forget that many of the items for sale at Shoe Fair are donating proceeds to Charity, so well worth a visit for that reason alone.

Urban Tan
Summer lovin Urban style, with new hair and new and improved jewelry I am stylin all the way to the surf.
I am so excited that Essentia has recently updated one of my fav sets, Jaydie was created as originally a tigers eye set for Jaydie a long time friend of ours, who one day pined over the lack at the time of tigers eye jewelry. So Fia made this set for her and it was a hit, recently he has updated it so that now it not only comes in all his hand made gemstones textures but also silver or gold options at a click menu. So while wearing all these beautiful summer colours I was able to change my jewelry to match, WINNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNN.
The bikinis and cute little sporty skirts are new releases by Urbanity, such fun for either strolling down to the beach, or playing your favourite summertime sport. Which can be either volleyball or watching the gender of your choice get their own sun and fun lol. The ruffles are so cute on these skirts and without the prim attachment, you can actually wear them as sporty little shorties too.
LeLutka is warming up for Hair Fair, with the release of 4 new stunner styles. Five were actually released but the hat hair is more of a unisexy suity style than swimsuity style. Feeling all tropicana, I went with the Tuli The Deck Exclusive skin, she created it to only be sold at her The Deck store – yay us – and with the beachy like theme of the sim, she wanted to have something that worked with that. I think it rocks, but not just for summery colours, but also as a definite out there make up.
All the poses I am using are from Glitterati and don’t forget they are still having their SALE until the 21st , bargains to be found.

Living Dead Doll
I was so distracted today, one of my favourite ways to get sidetracked is to look through the flickr group Second Life Bloggers of Fashion. I love that group, not just because I made it lol, but because there are so many bloggers that I did not know about before joining all the time. I am glad they find it, because often I get shy about inviting to add pics which is totally bizarre for me – if it wasn’t my group I would have no issue with it lol.Fia is trying to distract me now with talk of cinnamon buns, meany. But that is ok, I had rice pudding with cinnamon tonight, so I am fully satisfied. Americans have this crazy thing for cinnamon, I have never seen so many cinnamon things ever. I like it, don’t get me wrong, but seriously, tic tacs and mentos, and I even have cinnamon toothpaste I brought back to prove to friends I wasn’t making it up, because NO ONE would have believed me. I remember when red gum came to australia in the 70’s it was like chilli gum it was so firey, and I just don’t really understand the altoids obsession, are they mints ? and if so, why do you have cinnamon ones? someone needs to explain this to me.
I love trucker cap hair, so when Scribble recently released these ones I was right on them. They and other items have been sitting down the bottom of my inventory waiting for some attention. It is funny that ~ takes you to the bottom, and what is it with all the __()**||@#!#$%%^&*(( stuff before store names now? It is really really annoying going through the alphabet a dozen times to find things you are looking for. I know where things are in my inventory, but every few days or so my newness fills up, and if I have been too busy to put away, it ends up so insane.
Anyways back to Scribble. Trucker caps and hair built in, all the better, and you also get the up or down version for each, as well as the hat only…BARGAIN! I was running around all day yesterday in my Elsa boots by Sand Shack Surf. I love these boots, not just for the fantastic legwarmer style uppers, with their texture change options that just go on and on, but also because the style of the foot and heel of the actual boot are just perfect.
I am wearing the Candy Skin from PXL again today, more make ups to show, but also because it is a marvelous skin. Fun make ups too, with freckles and all sorts of things going on, I totally messed up the other day, so a fair warning…the cleavage enhancer is only on tattoo or undershirt layers, and it is not just shading on the area enhanced but a total upper cut out, so I forgot I was wearing it, and stood there waiting to rez another for ages before I remembered I had that on lol.
Proof I know where everything is, as soon as I had my make up and clothing sorted, I went straight for the coffin bag I won a billion years ago from a lucky chair, knowing it would fit the bill. I almost bought one of these in RL once, we had the most awesome Goth Store near my old work…the only thing stopping me was the severed head on the bag, all the cutesy ones were sold out.
The lodge sweater dress comes with the ruffle skirt or an extended sweater prim option, so more bang for your buck, the sweater dress even has modesty panties included, but like real white cotton ones, so cute. Mel was discussing that the other day, why designers use the same fabric in the undies area as a skirt etc, instead of creating a panties look for more realistic attire. Probably more work – the first time, at least.
AlaMood Boutique recently released some delicate and beautiful necklaces, diamond encrusted and just so incredibly pretty. It always amazes me these jewelers in SL that work so well with small prims, it is hard enough modifying large items sometimes, never mind moving prims around the size of an eyelash.
The other day I mentioned a SALE on at Exposeur, the poses I am using today are all from there, so be sure to check them out if you can.

Around my world
Lots of different backgrounds today, I was a bit all over the place, and then finally of course found my fav on the last pic lol. Anyway it is good to play. I was also playing with shadows earlier as you saw, having done so a few times in the past which I think I only threw on flickr. Mel, Fia and I went out and about shadow playing on day, and it was great. But still not as good as I would have liked.
The new Kirsten Viewer gave me more than even this mornings pics, but I still have to play with it some more. Usually as I told Elysium, I use two accounts to take shadow pics. As I have enough to load with my account as it is. So the alt is my pic taker on the shadow viewer, and that usually works well. Seeing as the alts also have the VR Studio HUD, it is not an issue for pic taking.
The shadows in these pics though aren’t real, they are done in ps. Anyways, about the pics. First one is a mix of some newness. The other day I was at Niniko and I am a sucker for Gacha Machines, to my absolute delight the skirt I am wearing was in one, seriously even though the pack was available, I just had to Gacha lol. Cord skirts are right up there with denim skirts, when you find the right fit, you are just in love. Speaking of love, I am sure by now all of you have been to the Summer Sunrise Festival at Tableau. If not then you best hurry, as it ends on the 25th and is actually not only fun, but is raising money for a good cause. They are raising money for the Center for Biological Diversity… and have made a collab outfit with some incredible content creators.
Also at the same time there is an incredible opportunity for one lucky person, to win 30days store space at Tableau…that is for many the prize of the century, it would make many want to start a business just for the ability to have one there. Tableau has always been that kind of sim, from way back when it was a pier style build, with cranky starfish on the ground, and all in between builds up until now. The sexy and beautiful top I have on under the jacket is one of the items available, the Sun-drop V tank comes in 4 divine colour blends, and I love them all, so much so that without even seeing them, they were the colour palettes of my four builds this past weekend…now I can match my homes lol. Emma Gilmour of Sand Shack Surf just made a commercial for her store HERE
The other great release from Sand Shack Surf are the shoes, with cork wedge soles they are yum, even coming in navy which I am chuffed to see, even if I did end up wearing the brown lol. Another item I picked up at the festival is this stunning locket, which you can of course load your own pic into . So delicate and really beautiful to wear. I of course dragged a pic of Mel in there, but the pic that comes with is adorable too.
If you have been under a rock lately, then you will have missed the huge accessories release from LeLutka, bags, hats and belts up the whazoo. The shapes and style are great, but the texturing of them is genius, they look as though you could smell the leather. They gave me a great opportunity to use the recent Around the World pose set from Storin. These poses come with an arty portfolio style bag for each one, but of course they work incredibly well with other bags, such as these. It also helped with the great toweling coat I got from Ruxy the other day. Such a surfy look down here to have a hoodie jacket like that, the only thing missing is some Mambo print.
Moving on to the beautiful Short Trench coat by Maitreya. I have so many reasons to want to wear this all the time. First off it’s cold down here and hot up where you are, but this coat would bring that altogether nicely for me. Then there are the colours, it is a pretty high chance you are going to know what colours will come out in a Maitreya release, what is new and fun for me is the names Onyx gives them. The third thing I adore in this coat is the belt, the absolute realism given to it by tieing it in a knot instead of messing with those annoying pull through loop belt things… I LOVE THAT THEY DID THAT!
I mixed some older Maitreya in there, and same with the next pic, the older Sarong top, with the new Viento skirt. The skirt comes in options, without belt, belt seperate and belt attached. The colours are light and fun, and you I like that I was able to two tone contrast with not only the skirt, but also the Aaquus Shoes. Easily tone matchable to the LAQ Aline skins.
Next time you are on the lookout for bag poses make sure and grab these ones from Storin, they really do come in handy (pun pun punnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn)

Sing it Whimsy
I was chatting with Whimsy about Aussie v’s US teen shows last night. Growing up watching as much American TV as I could, with all of the fabulous UK shows mixed in, it is so obvious that there is some kind of gloss that deservedly belongs to US TV. I was comparing teen sex for instance, in Australian shows, it is rare for a couple of teens to just have at it, usually the build up can take months of debate and drama filled angst, that parents have enough time to make sure their kids never see the result, if in fact it does even happen, and you would probably never see anything more than them fumbling around. In US Shows that are geared towards teens – and no this isn’t a bash or me saying they are all like that – there is more of a lets do it, and there they go lol.
I remembered one such Aussie movie though that went all out, and that was the infamous Puberty Blues, so I went to Youtube in hopes of a snippet and somehow managed to watch the whole thing with Whimsy lol. Oh My Goodness what a crazy movie. Aussie’s everywhere probably just groaned remembering some of the worst scenes. Anyway, as nuts as the movie is, Whimsy was really surprised at how busy our beaches were, and what better way to celebrate that fact than to do a post on beachwear today.
Especially with the timing of the latest releases from Sand Shack Surf. The cafe shorts with their slit and rounded sides are pure 70’s – 80’s flashback shorts, and the colour range in those is brill, I especially love the faded navy, as only lots of sun can do, that and keeping them on the clothesline longer than they should be…I ruined so much black that way as a teen lol. Feeling all girly girl, the New skirts are divine, highwaisted and so pretty, they also come in oodles of gorgeous colours, and i love how well they work with the new tanks.
I not only love the skirts but also the highwaisted underpanty shorty thingamajiggers underneath. It looks so cool how it is finished off, and the type of fabric used, that I would totally wear them on their own with a cute belt and top as shown. So that is way more bang for your buck when buying the skirts. Another great bargain are the shoelace sandals, these come with not only sole options, but laces too with so many colours to choose, so mixing and matching with your outfits is never an issue.
I am wearing the latest hair from Fri.day which is actually on sale until the 12th, it is so nice when people release during a big sale, so that those that already have everything still benefit from the savings. This hair is just YUM, and even though there are two, I just had to save the second for another post and get as much wear out of this one as I could.
Mmmmmm Hairy Shoulder Pets and Pink Flamingo Balloon Sticks, bliss to be had.

Gobble Gobble
Today is International Lens Flare Day, apparently somewhere in Canada they celebrate this day by lighting sparklers to show their appreciation for this wonderful photo tool.
If you believed that, then I have a bridge you may be interested in purchasing :P. Actually I was just playing on the first pic, and while in voice with Whimsy we made up today’s so called holiday…you never know though, somewhere it could be true.
The other day LeLutka did their first Summer release, there are still more to come as I mentioned previously. Some of the items shown today are already out, and some are due for release…some aren’t even LeLutka at all. First off we have the beautiful cocktail dresses. Pictures one and two both have such beautiful style about them. The colours available are strong but soft all at the same time. The oversized bow is fabulous, because not only is it wonderful sculptie work, but of course in RL that is exactly how that kind of style would come off.
Anything that looks like that, always makes me think the designer had naked in mind, a quick tug and lots of fabric folds on the floor. The second dress is just beautiful with its gem encrusted neckpiece, that is part of the breast piece that has that authentic away from body look. I am really impressed with the use of shadows on this collection, giving them a definite realism. Not only is the animal print on the bottom of these dresses rawr worthy, but the scalloped edging is so soft and fluttery, a definite crowd pleaser on the dance floor.
I added a mini top hat from Canimal, that with the animal print and skull heads, had a real lion tamer quality going on, so much fun for a party. The hair I am wearing in pic two is a new release from Anaphora, a reworking of an older style, adding not only fabulous new textures but the benefit of extra length.
The next pic is my love of all thinks folksy, the shirt is going to be forever known as my turkey shirt, and the pants are just awesome. You cannot really tell with the top on, but they have a crossed over bib front look that is just marvelous. I could wear this look all weekend and shop until I drop, that is drop off one pile of bags and pick up more of course.
The hair is also new from W & Y , and so gorgeous, the Jewelry headpiece comes in a huge range of gem choices, and seriously I had no idea they had options, it was love at first sight anyway. This whole summer collection reminds me of markets, the casual clothing especially, as it has a real handmade quality, and my turkey shirt I know would be so soft and yummy.
Haha this next look is my beatbox look, I was all ready to twirl on my cardboard box in this look, but I might hurt myself. This might not be your usual rapper look, but for me it has that running home from a dance studio thing going on, and those pants, OMG TO DIE FOR. They are thick and wool and so perfect, the colours, the wide leggedness, they are vintage all the way. I am surprised they are a summer release but THANK YOU for making them.
One of the most noticeable things about the pants are that they are sculpted as much up top as the bottom, and the attention to detail makes them just beautiful. Two more great hairs from W & Y but these are not new, so they are on the back area on the right, and perfect hat hairs, with so many options.
These next pants are also a pleasure to wear, and when Thora declared she had just made the most awesome pants, she wasn’t exaggerating. These are SCHWING! The fabric is divine, the prints are amazing, and the overall feminine quality of them, leading back to many decades ago, is just perfect. I mixed them with the recent one piece swimsuits from Surf Co. that actually look fab as a top. But not only that, because slipping out of the pants and into the pool or ocean is a given, as they are resort wear plus.
The pieces not available now will be soon, so make sure you take notes and get ready.

Licky boom boom yeah
It is apparently – not really sure because I don’t pay that much attention to Australian goings on – a public holiday in a few hours, with it being my Monday and all. But I am still feeling that all round vibe of lazy Sundays.This first look is a perfect daytime strolling market day look.Comfy semi loose clothing, with slip on shoes just in case you find some fabulous clothes or shoes you want to try on. Ever since their release I have adored the baggy pants from Glow Studios, I will say though that they wont suit everyone’s taste as they are baggy by the mesh, not using prims, but perfect for laggier events. I would like to see these retackled with sculpted rolled up bottoms though, just to see them with a cleaner finish, because overall they are just lovely.
Wearing again the Shoelace sandals from Surf Co. these were recently a 50L Friday item, but do not despair there are all sorts of colours and combos coming soon. The lovely tank is from Fri.day and I just love this style back, so perfect for my wide shoulders, being a swimmer growing up I was always broad shouldered for a girl, but not as broad as those water polo girls because they totally have swimmers beat.
The new bangles by YS & YS totally rock the colours of the pants, I really like the shine to these textures they are wonderful and the colour combos are excellent, make sure you check those out, this is one of the sets that contain the small bangle option, which means they aren’t stacked so high on the arm, which I really like, because sometimes they can get too high.
Two new styles of hair from Fri.day this week, the loose bun and shorty pony are excellent for both looks today, definitely wear all around hair, the loose bun especially. Not far down from the hair you have the lashes that come on the skin by Amacci, they are so pretty I decided that no prim lashes were needed at all. I included some close ups of the 24 make ups that come in the line, and there are hairbase and cleavage options.
I think that Giselle is a beautiful skin, with its elfish looks, and just a slight hint of ethnicity it can work for so many. I totally think that those looking for a beautiful girl next door, who can totally vamp up if needed skin; should definitely give this one a good looking over. It isn’t just the lashes that are stunning in this skin, but also the eyebrows are lovely.
To be able to see the body better, I went with the very sexy and so cute terry cloth set by DeeTalez. These sets are so fun, they are like running around in guest towels, at some hotel when you have been caught getting up to no good lol. Totally knew I wanted to wear and ugg style boot, and nothing is better than one you can colour change which already has the almost exact colours your wearing to choose from, YAY Kalnins.

Sooky La La Lovin
Sneaky Peak on a 50L item, some really incredibly Diverse skins, and the big hair lovers dream release.
Tuli has been working on an Asian skin for some time, and lucky for all the release time is on the horizon. Whether you are asian in nationality, or you just enjoy having options of skin types to wear on those days when you are feeling adventurous. I personally love the look of this skin on my own shape, and I have been fortunate enough to see it on others and I have yet to see it not meld well to a non asian shape. There are ten make ups in total, with two tones and freckles and cleavage options also. I haven’t included the tenth make up, which I like to call Sooky LaLa but I will let you see that one up close and personal yourself.
The other day I got an IM from Sofia “I think you need the new Mirai hairs, Sasy… lol ” I had just gotten home from a big hair trip, and was like uh oh. She tp’d me over and WOW it has to be the biggest hair we have both ever seen. If you are a big hair lover, this release is for you. I actually ended up falling for the Tgcy hair, straight long flexi locks with an awesome large scarf tied around that is texture change, with some awesome prints.
I ended up taking Whimsy over there a few days later and wandering around outside, luckily I came across Mirrors a store that sold the dresses worn in the ads for some of the hair. The dress comes in either printed or plain, and I decided that as I am always on the hunt for this style dress in white, now was the time to get it. To my surprise as it was not so evident in the ad, the whole dress is actually sculpted, but it fit me right away. The glitch top is a bit hit and miss, as it doesn’t really cover as much as it should, I would prefer a bit more time to have been taken in that area. I have actually as you can see tinted the dress, because I fell in love with the print in the hair scarf and totally did not want to change clothes…being all mod it was a click tint in edit on the prims, and then an eyedropper tool tint from the prims to the clothing layers and done.
More newness this week in the form of the gorgeous bangles from YS & YS, these bangles textures are just wonderful, they are so shiny and realistic looking, with lovely colour combos you will want to dress to match them, not the other way around.
Lastly the latest adorableness from Surf Co. are the 50L shoelaces sandals that are about to be this weeks Fifty L Friday item, they are such cute slip ons, no shoe bases needed, they are the next step up from thongs, and so cute. Don’t miss out on those.
Don’t forget DEMO DEMO DEMO with the Sayuri skins by TULI.

Redhead matches my mood
Having fair skin and freckles in Second Life is not an easy task, sure you can find skins with tans and freckles, or fair skin that is porcelain in appearance, but a true red head skin is a rare thing. But like all rare things in SL the more people shout about them they soon appear, talk about using your voice for good not evil.
Glance saw a need for a true redhead skin and this is just lovely, the Louisa skin has that redhead look to it that lets you stay unique to your colouring and yet adapt for whatever dress mode you are in. What I really loved is the fact that the brows match the Passionate Red texture of Fri.days hair so well that it had me excited to look non dyed for a change.
This isn’t my natural colour as such, I am darker but I definitely have this colour running through it thanks to Mum and her irishness…I am not as fair though, I used to tease her when I was little that if I rubbed her arms really hard she might get a tan. What I also love about Louisa is that she was made to be a redhead, not just an option on a skin line, don’t take that wrong I LOVE OPTIONS, I just mean she is a standalone skin, one tone, one brow option and that is it, you have to love her for herself.
The new dress by SySy is perfect for this natural feeling, spring styled and whimsical. You get the two options of skirt and I had to giggle that I look preggers on one of the pics, standing that way thanks to the DelMay poses. I pulled out the old HUB sandals for this pic, the colours and style were perfect…I wish I knew what happened to them as creators, they just seem to have stopped for the longest time.
With the very dramatic make up options that Louisa has I went with a new dress by LP Designs as well showing that kind of retro rocker montage look, I would totally wear this and rock out to billy idol and duran duran lol.
Lastly the Jori skirts and tops, I mixed these up because I can. It is such a great selection of colours in the Jori pieces, and the more you buy the more combos you have. On doing this with the pieces I thought it would be cool if stores did things like that as add ons. I understand it may limit sales in one direction, but imagine if the sash part, which is actually just the top of the skirt, was made in totally different palettes the original and sold separate as a pack, that would be so cool with so many different things, I guess it wouldn’t always work, it would really have to be something that originally does that on its own like these.
Make sure you get on over to 5th & Oxford not only for the Jori pieces but EVERYTHING because at the moment it is all 50% OFF EVERYTHING , I mean wowza, that is skins, clothes, LINGERIE OMG OMG OMG and the gloves that I just loves muchly, run, hurry , go , now , why are you still here?
The new poses from Long Awkward pose are adorable, even if my ankles would be in plaster eventually lol, great for cutesy shots like this, and it is great seeing all the fab poses being used from Pose Fair.
Make sure if you have been looking for a true redhead skin that you go and try the demos at Glance, the body on this skin is beautiful and the make ups have a nice range from soft to dramatic.
