blog – Travelling by your heart
I love how much you can do in Second Life if you just have the time to do so. Mind you that should probably be ‘take the time to do so’. Yesterday Fiachra and I went to Dublin, world travelers we are, I have actually been to the real version, and I have to say the build even as dated as it is by Second Life standards now, is still fairly accurate on landing.
Today Ashia asked me to come to the UK, or maybe she dared me… not to sure either way. Unfortunately I have done enough traveling in the past few years for a while now, and so I had to make do with this post. Last night I stayed up all night and it is now already 7am, and I had the best time putting these pics together. For the most part I was in IM with the girls and Fiachra, even Mel came by to visit with me for a bit, only encouraging me more.
Our lot are like that, totally encouraging of each other in so many ways, a real support team…but then we will also make very sure and pull each other away from crazy town; if we feel one of us is taking a holiday there. We all totally have an effect on each other too, how we dress especially now more so than ever before. We seem to channel each other on any given day…but with our own sense of style.
So today is definitely my version of Ash, my version of Whimsy, and a bit of a mix of Jussy and Newdolly. I already channeled Sofia a few days ago but I am not telling which post lol. Such an incredible, and powerful mix of women, ones I am truly proud to be associated with.
Another amazing woman is Indyra of Indyra originals, over the years I have coveted many of her incredibly detailed sets. I have met her a few times in the past, and she even came to my birthday party one year – the one I actually turned up at, damn internet – her store is a perfect blend of high fashion, and ladieswear. She has such an incredible scope of what is hot and stylish, a finger on the pulse so to speak.
Such is the case with the first two items today, not so new as I have had them in my to blog folder from a shopping trip for MONTHS, I should be ashamed. Ironically when Indyra came to The Deck recently she was wearing the second set, and it just kicked me in the bum to get posting on it.
The first set is just drop dead hotness, the pieces on their own can be reworked into so many looks it is just fab. The second set actually also comes with dress pants, but the skirt is all win. Made in such a way as to be prims but shaped like a pencil skirt it is just divine, and I want one in all colours lol.
The top is pure Whimsy, with the animal print it is RAWR. I had fun with this one, the gloves are tinted to match the boots, even though gloves do come with the set, these ones were a better fit for the look I wanted. Two perfect hat/hair moments thanks to Maitreya YUM.
Now the boots we have to mention as they are divine! and New! and awesome! The Marina boots by SLink were released last night – go the Aussies – and the structure of them is just delightful. Very shiny though, I would love to see Siddean do them over again in a more subtle leather, as this one was a tad hard to wear with every day wear. Latex lovers will unite and cheer though, because they are just stunners. Beautiful built front platforms and incredibly high heels, what else is there to know, other than MUST HAVE.
Another Must have is the Leather Luggage sets from Shade Throne, I mean seriously how adorable is that. The bag I am holding has 6 different animations for it, and there is a sit in the floor luggage. A great prop, or just perfect for a finishing touch on a room.
When I saw the name of the next dress I knew I wanted to mix it up, and have some fun with it. It is intended as a cocktail dress, seeing as it is from Indyra’s Couture range, but Shirley Temple on the Rocks had me at Delora hair from Analog Dog lol…perfect bouncy curls that don’t get in the way like some of the longer styles may do. When thinking Shirley you think Lollipops and when you think those you think Violet Voltaire, well I do anyway, and sure enough her Jewelry was all win.
Wrapping this all around the gorgeous new skins from Amacci, the Felicia skin is athletic but still soft, and so sexy with the beautiful tones and broad make up range. Cleavage options and a hair base option will make many skin fans extremely happy with this skin, it looks fantastic on everyone I have seen it on so far.
Have a ripper weekend, and see where your TPs can take you.

blog – Hippie Dippie Shake
Mmmmmm Fruit. That would have to be the one awesome thing about sweltering hot summers, down here the fruit is fabulous. One of my favourite things is the fruitflo machine. They take frozen yoghurt – or icecream – and frozen fruit, such as mangoes and passionfruit and berries, and throw them all into this big drill bit looking machine, and push down to make a swirly fresh fruit medley iced treat.
YUM!, seeing as it is 5am-ish I will have to make do with the fruit alternative that is Berries Inc. Their latest release Mel shirt had me running right over, and then back again later last night. The styles in the store so far are separates and really well made. I not only really like the clothing, but also the actual showroom of a store, and the vendors. A lot of effort has been put in to featuring her goods in a professional and realistic store manner.
I really love that the Mel shirt has buttons on both sides of the opening, as they are more like little decorations than anything practical, because there isn’t a chance on earth that I would ever get that shirt closed. Especially not with the help of Luck Inc.
Those that know Gala Skins know that one of the things I have always loved is the natural fall of the breasts, but it took CK to show us that sometimes a lift or a squidgy chicken tender looking attachment – RL analogy – is a necessity, and created the Enhancers for Gala skins in all tones. So now by just wearing the undershirt layer you can definitely add to your decolletage.
The very mini denim skirts and the gorgeous studded cozy tops are all from Berries Inc, such lovely items, and really well priced. I can see big things coming from this designer, as she is already expanding her skill set by taking classes.
The store that makes those awesome sockystockingleggymathingies on the left had me at hello, I right click bought like a demon. So much fun, with vibrant colours and a fun quirkiness to them.
Did everyone go OMG OMG OMG OMG when they saw Surf Couture’s new hair release, seriously not only did we get the bargain of the century with three of them being 50L each, but they are so gorgeous I had to buy packs of the others as well. The style is so hippie chic, but depending on outfit can take on a whole new look, especially with the help of the texture change hemp band and ribbon tie.
I have always had a thing for dimples, mind you there was this one moment in history when I told a cute guy I loved his, and he told me they were lazy cheek muscles – rolls eyes , seriously what a butthead – I didn’t want to marry them, I was just giving the ego maniac a compliment. So because of that jerk for about 18 minutes I didn’t like dimples much, then I got over it.
Sunny is the latest dimpled delight from Gala, and the soft make ups are as usual just lovely for this not so innocent face. You will be wanting to get up to all sorts of mischief in Sunny, I can see it now…I actually went to school with a girl called Sunny and she was a handful and a half…Queenslanders usually are :P. The worst or in your case best thing is that with those dimples you will get away with it lol.
I am wearing 50L friday shoes by SLink, these are so 80’s tacular, that we spoke about her doing the kitten heel slingbacks with the bow at the toe next, fingers crossed.
New Poses by Diesel Works called Piper *strikes a pose* cute aren’t they? there are more to be seen at the store, and in posts to come I am sure. But don’t wait for me, get on over and try them and everything else for yourself.
Have a bonza weekend, and if someone compliments you, be gracious, because you never know when that person will get a blog and out you as a wanker.

blog – and she danced
Thora wanted Flashdance, so I scoured the grid, and I got her Flashdance. Well the best I could do in the late hours as it was. Imagine if stores in SL had real retail hours *gasps*. I love it actually, since I typed that I just had a ten minute convo about it with Whimsy.
Imagine if for every 24 hours they were broken into two 12 hour lots, and those were broken into 8 plus 4. Imagine also if it was a LL ruling that everyday your store could only operate in one 8 hour slot, and had to be manned by you or a registered business partner. I love the idea of this, the concept of having to get to the store on time, or it will be closed for 16 hours just like RL. Also the idea that you would wait for stores to open and run in and be seen to by the creator behind the products.
Imagine the four hour gaps too, when no retail business could operate, there would be clubs and social areas only, so people would plan events again. I love the idea of running home after your shift, and having to get ready in the outfit you tpd over and grabbed during your lunch break that day lol.
Ok I could come up with scenarios with this concept forever. But moving on, Thora created a stunning curly style named Jeniffer after the sexiest 70’s Jen of them all Jeniffer Beals. This hair is gorgeous, and if you are a curly hair fan this one is for you. The style will be released at some stage today…and the new textures as stated before are just stunning.
I saw this movie when I was in 5th class, a school excursion where I really think that the teachers had no idea how adult the movie was going to be. I remember the strobe light scene and all the kids in my class pretending to move like robots because it looked even cooler. One of my greatest days as a kid…and tonight I got to revisit it with this hair .
Don’t forget it is only due to the fabulous VR Foundry Professional Posestand and HUD that I am able to do the ‘more than one of me’ pics, I would never survive without it.
Also what’s not to love, I managed a stripper pole AND Body oil in this post, I think I have outdone myself this time, by the way the oil is on the outside due to it being wet – just so you know I am aware how to layer :P.

blog – Justice for all
Nothing is more enjoyable than being able to really prepare yourself for your day or night. The great thing that comes from the wonderful abundance of skins we have now, is that the choices on make ups is plentiful.
Now one of the sometimes complicated things is choosing what make ups best suit your Second Life, and the way you live it. So when a skin creator takes into account, your world, your imagination, it is perfect.
Day, Night and the early hours of the morning. Those are the themes of the new skin line by Idiosyncrasy. 8am, 6pm and 2am. Each timeframe has 8 make ups, and the difference though subtle really works well.
I am actually wearing them middle to back, starting with the 6pm skins. Different looks for each one, slight variations, with some pieces crossing over, just like in RL. These days dressing for work can be as stylish and important, as dressing for early evening, nights out. Adding a deeper shade of lippy and tousling out your hair lol.
In Second Life though it can be even trickier, as often who you are talking to, dealing with business wise, or socially, can be looking at you through different eyes entirely based on their own timezone. When you first come to Second Life it can get really tricky seeing people in full formal gowns and suits at 9am lol.
It seems to always be someones morning, evening or late night. But as confusing as that all is, now with the help of these skins, you are covered. Ashia has in my opinion definitely leveled up with the Justice skins, named after the incredibly talented herself Justice Infinity.
All the skins come with dark and lighter brows, as well as cleavage enhancement, so thats four skins per make up. These are just beautiful, you really need to try them asap.
The other featured item today for the most part, is the Beebee boots by SLink, these ankle boots are just adorable and incredibly crafted, in perfect leather, and divine shape…the attention to detail in these boots is amazing, even the zippers on the side have chomp worthy teeth.
Also featuring a lot of Cynful in this post, her latest releases just had me all excited. The idea of denim corsets with the snap buttons, are just gorgeous, they really do have you tightly encased and perfectly moulded. Denim is a perfect texture for this style, as when made in such a way the strength of the weave is totally suitable.
You get three looks in each colour, so they are a steal as well value wise. and whether adding your own cute and sexy, or tailored and professional for the workplace, they all work. Anyway I am rambling and you need to go shopping :P.

blog- a little bit country
Australians just love their sheepskin, probably not as much as the Kiwi’s do though *snickers* and then promises I am just teasing. We have always used sheepskin for clothing, it is the perfect warm in winter, cool in summer natural product. Sheepskin carseat covers are very common, and the infamous Ugg boots of course.
It is humorous that until Pamela Anderson was parading around between takes in them, they were actually a fashion DON”T for most of us down here. But most of us have them, and generally they were used as slippers in winter, I even accidently left the house in a pair once, and when I got out of the car and realised, I freaked out so badly that I flicked my foot so hard that my boot went careening across the car park.
Had that still been my reaction to sheepskin fashion, it would have definitely turned the moment I saw the Shearling Coats, these jackets are just fantastic, the style, fit and texture work is amazing… and so spot on to how this kind of coat would sit on the body.
The other really versatile item in this post are the Western boots, what is there not to love. It is not easy, well hasn’t been in the past to find really well created cowboy boots, especially girly ones that don’t lean to the too girly. Beautifully crafted with all the extras as usual, the ability to wear with or without the belt strap is just one of the features I love, because it is those little things that can really change your overall appeal to something.
A man that loves make up, is a wonderful thing. Kavar Cleanslate definitely has to be that guy, or he has a good ear for suggestions. Either way there is mucho love for the latest release by him of the Heart Shaped Box skins. Bow shaped lips, with a pouty look that usually lends itself to the most spoiled of petulant women, but with a can’t deny sultry look that could go back and forth through eras. Some of the make ups have a very vintage quality to them, and then there are some that are definitely our era so to speak. All of the names suggest a musical presence, and nothing can be more endearing than a song.
His first foray, I do hope wont be his last. I expect to see a great range of faces come forth from Kavar, as he has always struck me as very aware of his surroundings, and the needs of the women that make up parts of those surroundings.
Getting your western groove on is simple, and if you are feeling ” a little bit country ” like Newdoll this past week, then these looks can carry you there, without being too cheesey…not that there is anything wrong with cheese, I LOVE IT.

blog – dance I said
An interesting thought reared it’s head earlier today. The idea of culling your inventory just to make it less of a burden on the asset servers. Now Mel and I discuss this every other day, believe me that is truly how often he picks on me about mine.
Actually that’s not even accurate, it would be every day. Even Whimsy cops it from him, and hers and mine are almost the same in size. Whimsy scared the hell out of me last week, declaring that if it was causing a strain – Mel says that when I log back in after a crash the sim stalls – then eventually her and I wont be able to be on the same sim; at the same time.
Ashia is more brutal with hers, she gets all powered up and starts deleting things left, right and centre, mind you though she freaks me out by not even looking at what she is deleting. Which recently meant she had to buy something she had previously owned.
Luna mentioned in a plurk that came up about it, that she culls hers to less than 30 (I think it was) and that if she doesn’t use it in 6 months it is gone.
I am sorry but NO WAY JOSE! I cannot go that low, never ever ever. Lately I have been going back and forth in my inventory to show older and new items together… as I always say ‘Everything Old is New to Someone”. I have gotten rid of items that are of no use to me at all, I know I have to completely strip down my furniture folder and what not…I did also get rid of over 3000 wigs recently from one designer, just because of all the colour options I wouldn’t wear…but I do have them backed up in boxes ‘just in case’.
I know it is out of hand, and I know I am a horder lol. But my inventory is my timeline here just as much as my blogs are. I have items from every store I have managed – most of those are boxed unless needed – I cannot imagine not being able to reach into it and pull out an item I know would be perfect for a pic, or blog post regardless of its age.
The absolute beauty of NO TRANSFER items is the ability to unpack, wear, and delete…just make very sure you kept the box. No Transfer means COPY, which means UNLIMITED amounts of said item. Example is the gown I unpacked again today to wear, the deep red one, that I modified so you could see my shoes. I have had that archived in the red for probably a year, the black is left out. Now I will delete the folder, because I know I have it safely boxed.
There is so much of that that you can do as a consumer, and so much that can be done to ensure that is easier as a creator. You see many are against boxed items, usually because they want to see what they are getting with an item, and that is fair enough.
But things such as fat packs etc, are better off as seperate boxes, yes you can right click take copy your single vendors and pop them into your fat pack vendor DONE, it is as simple as that. Creators please don’t make your boxes no copy though, when the items inside of it are no transfer, it is a bit dangerous to make the box they travel in different perms.
Anywho, once you unpack and wear, you can delete, just again be sure you have a back up box that actually does contain the items ready for next time. This also applies for high price items, UNLIMITED UNPACKS, if you mod it and mess it up, unpack another one, if you cannot find all the pieces, unpack another one.
If you spend a bit more than you are used to, and you feel that that item is something you would hate to lose, if it didn’t come in a box, then before you do anything else, make a box and drag copies of the items into it, name it exactly as it is on the item folder and save it to a different folder. I know of some people that sink valuables under the house lol.
Anyway enough of all that.
The shoes I have on were created just after the opening of the Footwear Expo, so they are available at the store and the fair, in different colour sets. This set is of course the darker tones that I asked Siddean to release, for those of us who love our ballet shoes with an edgier colour base.
I was also lucky enough to choose the name of them, seeing as Ashia and I are both lovers of our ballet stuffs, I wanted them to be named after her, if Siddean liked the idea… she did, so once they were remade in the darker colours, and ready for release I bought a gift pack for Ashia, and lol she didn’t believe they were named that, she thought it was just so she could find them in her inventory that Siddean had edited the folder, and that is why she deserved them.
My first look was inspired by the movies, you know when you see a dancing movie, there is always that teacher/instructor that was a ballerina when she was younger yadda yadda , and she just has such a lovely graceful style about her, well that’s what I was going for with this look.
Modified the skirt on the second, so that you could see the gorgeous blood red slippers. The gown is beautiful full length, but something like this under is a perfect shoe to dance the night away. The third look could be ‘ More strippers are classically trained than you think ” look, lol but it was just something fabulous fun and silver to wear with the shoes..but if you want to call it that look go right ahead.
The skin is NEW and beautiful, I am not only loving the usual features of Laq skins, but the make ups on the Ania are just a bit different than the usual I believe. Mallory has added an incredible gloss effect to the lips, and the colour combination’s are just perfect. I did notice more colour this time around in the eyes especially, glad to see a beautiful green shadow amongst the pack.
Incredibly lined lids, and a really perfect under brow highlighted shadow look , that is not easy to do with the template the way it is. Mallory does her make up like someone who knows and spends time doing their own. There are such little hints at colour and shading, that can really make your eyes stand out, and it takes skill to do that.
Ania is again a more mature version of the Glow skins, sometimes depending on shape others in the range tend to side with a more youthful exuberance, so if that has been a concern to you in the past, then you should check out Ania for sure.
All the hair in the post, old and new is from Exile. All those lovely curls framing the face are such fun, and I really like that tousled lived in look for hair, cannot be too perfect all the time, can we.

blog – Ba Ba Black Sheep
Wow what a rollercoaster. I ended up online for 20+ hours straight, tried to sleep in this disgusting heat, and ended up back on three hours later. But with so many gorgeous shoes to take pictures of, with their equally beautiful counterparts of skin, hair, clothing and accessories…I am not too upset about lack of sleep.
I actually took some pics, and ended up stopping for a bit to meet up with Fae for a quick demo of skins. The funniest things have been happening with pictures kicking in with avatar baking for me lately, but that is a whole other enchilada.
The Lace Up boots by Anexx are hands down some incredible work, for boys and girls. YAY for the men, I was in FE for hours having to assure some the other night that there were in fact mens items at the fair. I love the work boot look, I was actually umming and ahhing over some others I saw the other day, that just weren’t doing enough for me, but it was the fates making me wait for these.
As other fates would have it, there was an all pink sale at pink outfitters I went to yesterday with Whimsy. I snapped up a few bits and pieces, and one item was the bermuda shorts that just perfectly went with the pink boots. I wanted to do a little more for this look, so I went a rumagging. Taking some older pieces by Canimal and adding a new but vintage twist with the cardi by Artilleri.
Definitely a back and forth mix up, with the bag a timeless classic by SLink and the hair the latest release from Nishant Zobovic who has returned to SL with the NEW Brand for hair, Anaphora.
The Gluttony skins by Red Queen are just gorgeous, whether going with the RP look, or the more sedate but captivating look of the first picture, it all works. How she features the eyes on her skins is always my favourite part, she really knows how to work those make up brushes.
If pretty in pink isn’t your thing, then go to the darker side with the second look. Ok not darker as such, but it sounded fun in my head. The NEW Release of the Oversized cardigan from Fishy Strawberry happened just as I was in the process of taking pics, and it is just splendid. I have to point out that Fishy – or Fi.St (does anyone else giggle at that in inventory?) -Â is now doing fat packs, YAY.
They actually do come with their own socks, but with the prim attachments taking the same as the upper portion of the boots, they had to go, in favour of the WWI ones with garters. The cardigan actually comes with a more voluminous attachment to the middle, giving it more of a baggy look, but I wanted to go with the length of it, and keep it tight and fitted, it really is just snuggly yum yum.
Again the Lace Up boots by Anexx were just perfect, they have such incredible detailing, from the laces themselves to the little toggle prims on the sides. two options for each with the uppers, one of them being mouton, which is of course a shaved sheepskin giving extra warmth to the look.
You can also see in my pics that the insides are as beautifully detailed as the outters, no cutting corners when it comes to Machang’s creations, she really goes all out. I would love to see this style in a higher boot if possible, mid calf length would be sensational, with a flopped over tongue perhaps as an option…if you build it, they will come :P.
Peace out shoe lovers, and don’t forget proceeds of this years fair goes to help the children at Toys for Tots.

Rocking Tibet
Whimsy Winx is going to be assassinated today if she keeps pushing into me with a freenis.
Seriously she is going downnnnnnnn. I saw June Dion today, and one of the latest items she has released is the Yangchen Lhamo set, a Tibetan Rocker set as she herself called it. It has a definite mix of that, and for me it reminded me of Sgt Peppers lonely hearts club band lol. Either way the set is killer cool, and the pieces are exceptionally crafted, as usual it comes with a variet of options, the others being way more colourful.
I love how she has done the pants in this set, she has made them very lowrise, with the upper portion of the waistband as part of the belt, the fit was incredible for my shape I didn’t have to edit it at all. Going with the rocker theme I opted for the Spike heels from Slink and seriously these are some heavy duty pain inducing shoes.
It is love love love for the hair I am wearing now and in the next post. It is from an incredible store called XPlosion, the store is Neko themed, but the styles are a definite mix. From Hair to Skins, with clothing mixed in, it’s fun for all the family.
The Hair I am wearing is just gorgeous, it is Lilli, and it has a diamants option as well as a normal. The skin is also from Xplosion and is just lovely , the tones range from the one I am wearing to darker tones, there is also a big must see for many an all over freckles range. So many different make ups, and at the moment only 3 hair styles , but you are going to want all of them, they are just gorgeous, you wait until you see the next one too :P.
Todays AO By Red Queen is the ETrangE-I again such incredible animations, using the slow animations option in advanced I was able to capture a downward fly for one of the; what looks to be standing poses. The animations are sold seperately or in full AO form, so take the time to check them out and look at them with photography in mind, not just as an AO.

Oh Hai
You know it’s not just men that laugh stupidly at so obviously naughty words.Ok maybe we don’t laugh the same as boys do, but we do notice when something is named something that is a bit tongue in cheek so to speak, or maybe it isn’t at all, and some just have dirtier minds than others – and by some I mean me.
So when Newdolly tpd me to the location of the first dress, yeah I wen’t “oh my” and then had a giggle, and it still makes me laugh just thinking about it.The dress is adorably cute, and the store was actually next door to where Newdoll was showing me in the first place.
Stardust Flapper was a perfect dress for the Pixie Hairstyle I’m wearing, tight and curled in just the right places, it has that look of the 20’s, with modern styling products.
We all know I have my purple condition, and I still stand by my round about notion that I don’t hate it exactly, it’s just one shade I cannot handle, and if there are other colours to be had , purple tones would rarely be a choice over others. But I have to say I am so for loving these Grape pants. They also have a long version, and they did have cuffs, but with the capri length , the way cool piping in white, it was too hard not to combine them with the latest Cross Laced Up Heels.
Showing three of the colours available in these shoes, they are with feet and toes, so yes you will have to match them to your skin, or do as i do , match your skin to your shoes. I love how these wrap around the leg, the wide straps of leather look soft and generous in length, the bow at the back is glorious..make sure you try on the demos to make sure they work with your shape, but they do definitely come with resizers inbuilt.
The tanks that have the slight lift to work over belted pants are a win, but even when not wearing prim attachments it just looks cute having that little bit of exposure. A little bit casual for the Sienna hair, with its slight waves and mid length it all works. Seriously the pants are YUM.
Ophelia is a gown to delight the romantic senses, not just in it’s full gown glory, but with the tea skirt that is belted at the midriff it’s just divine. The creamy fabric decorated with soft smatterings of leaves and flowers is just so delicately beautiful. This is the kind of gown that alludes to being truly a princess of nature, for me it is like coming alive from the forest itself.
As inspiring, the Alethia hair is beautiful also, and combined they make one hell of an impact. The hair is adorned with coins and chain, and would definitely make great hair for Kajira and anyone for that matter in silks, but with the Ophelia Gown it was just heavenly.
More newly released skins in the Elegance series, firstly I am wearing the May in tone 3 as well as the Elegance Emotion skin in Serene and Happy, all the skins in this range have great character, so it is just a case of finding the right one for you. YAY DEMOS.

Corsetted – Dutch Touch, Nomine, Panjen, SLink, Canimal, V Poses
A while back I was googling steampunk stuff, and I came across a corset that was so exciting.
The other day I was lucky to have hours to go for the Nomine sale that was on, thanks to reading in time the post on Inventory Episode by Ashia Tomsen, I just made it before it was over, and you should have heard me squeeling on mic when I found the StEaMpUnKt – Cloisonne bone corset, it was just like the one I had seen on many a steampunk site, and it was must must must have.Nomine has always had such interesting clothes, and some of my favourite dresses date back to 2006 Nomine. The corset is a very cool plastic inner with a spine and ribs detailing, it looks like I’m being xrayed. Definitely needing pinstripe to pull this off, I reached into my PanJen military coat folder and pulled out these great pants, the set is a steal so you should grab it.
Also grabbing my Chunky MaryJanes by SLink and the Deadly Lullaby Necklace from Canimal, I had a real sleek goth look going on. The shoes are great for sturdy flats, and the necklace has clickable parts that you can change colours using the drop down.
The Skins I am wearing are the Newly released Moon Skins by Dutch Touch. I am so glad that Iki has had a much deserved break, it has done wonders for her creativity. The Moon Skins are very beautiful in body detail, with divine make ups.
The eyes and lipstick especially in this release has all of the depth needed for high fashion, and evening wear. The pallette is subtle but has been used to create a smoldering range of eyemake ups. Make sure you try on all the DEMOS, there are going to be many that you favour. I am also wearing the New Moon Eyes by Dutch Touch, really lovely eyes in a great range of colours, two types of greens I noticed, these ones being cats eye green.
The adorable bob style hair is the May hair from Vignette, it is going to be used for a length of time to show the newer colours in the Vignette range, and is so adorable, it was instant love when I saw it on Ashia.
To show more body I couldn’t resist sharing the mini dress Jaguar from Dutch Touch, this set is so hot. I couldn’t pass it up when I was at the store a few weeks back grabbing those adorable socks. It comes with the mini flexi skirt , long top, bikini top, bra top, panties and it’s just hella sexy.
Equally as sexy is the Red Queen Threats hair , this is a shorter style than we are used to by Red Queen, but it still has all the flair and brilliance. With the dress and underwear, it definitely has that tousled about in bed look that is a Must.
I mentioned yesterday my new love for the V Poses by Toko Voom , today I am showing more of them, take note of the first pic. I am using the GLUE set poses , that are created for box work , they are just adorable, and the rest of the poses are from there also, so make sure you check them out soon if you didn’t already yesterday.
