Jersey Girl
Ok so My Attic is about to begin its next run on the 21st so I am so excited about that, while some events are winding down, so you will have to make the last mad dash over to get everything…such as FaMESHed and Culture Shock. Todays post includes items from Culture Shock as well as NEW items such as hair, jewelry, poses and other great items.
First though the Culture Shock items are the beautiful skins from Pink Fuel, now Pink Fuel was late setting up, so if you have not been in the last few days you HAVE to go back. Not only are the skins divine and there are more than the two shown, but also the price is insane, so do not miss out. I am wearing the Jersey and Ruthless skins, both skins come with two to three options, the Jersey is three with a ‘duck’ option, which sorry just escapes me what that is other than different lips maybe, but I swear it looks the same on me both ways, I guess you probably need a more accentuated mouth for the proper effect…I so wanted the duck to be all pouty on me, but alas my mouth could be just ducky to begin with lol.
The Jersey skin also had a teeth option, but I actually went with the D.Select fake teeth, which are prim with an alpha option, so cute, and there are lots you can actually get, there are recently some even with braces, so adorable. I love teeth, but with my piercings it is often better to do the alpha style rather than the tattoo to be honest. I truly love Jersey and Ruthless but I can totally see Jersey becoming a full time skin for many girls, it is just so pretty.
The other item from Culture Shock is the tri colour top from Izzies, this is very cool and there are three up for sale, I went with this one because it had the black I needed for the pants and shoes, and jewelry and almost hair, but I went red instead lol.
Speaking of the hair, both styles are the latest from Elikatira, now I did you all a big disservice because I only shot from the front, bad Sasy! but I am doing so because I want you to go demo them for yourself, because seriously the blonde style which is Memoir had me all oooooing and aaaaaaing all over the place. It is a perfect girl with lots of hair style, and a Jersey Girl has to represent RIGHT. Ok so now I have to mention that one of my favourite Jersey movies EVER is Jersey Girl, and NOT the one with Ben Affleck even though I do like that one, but the real and first one was with Jami Gertz and Dylan McDermott, I LOVE THAT MOVIE.
Ok so where was I, oh yeah, so also new is the Roho necklaces and earrings from Maxi’s. I had previously shown the rings, and she has since added beautiful necklace and earring sets where you get lost of choices and so many colours to texture change the stones to. Make sure you get all her latest items, they are all stunners.
The rolled chinos I am wearing are newness from Toki Doki, they come in a great range of colours and the sizes go from small to xlarge, with Maya size as well which is the adorable creator…I am wearing Maya, which is still a tad wide for me, but as they are textured so well with a great waistband area, it is not overly noticeable that they are not a tight fit, but definitely demo first.
The shoes I have on are the latest Rigged Mesh espadrilles from J’s…as usualy gorgeous work done on the feet and the shoes themselves. They come with hud control for skin and nails, as well as colours if buying all. Great base skins to use as a starting point for colour matching to your skin. They also come in three sizes, I am wearing the medium as it looks better with my height. The great thing with these being rigged mesh is that the straps move with your movement, as this style really would as they are a thick cotton strap, and perfect looking.
The great poses I am using are from FROOTI poses by Willow Zander, so make sure you give them a whirl.

Riding a Magic Carpet
A reminder to all, about the wonderful events still taking place over the grid. Pose Fair is still going strong, and Wear Gray is on only for a few more days, so make sure you check them both out. Todays poses are actually from Pose Fair, as a returning store released there for the event, and it is good to see them back.
Flowey poses closed for a while, but now they are back, with single poses for the time being, and the ones I am showing are just lovely. So make sure and give them a whirl when you are stopping by the fair.
Released today these New items from Celoe are just gorgeous. There are four new items, but I am only showing two of them in this post. The other two which are dresses, I will leave for another post. The Yasmine pants are soft and luxurious looking, they add a touch of class to an otherwise casual look, and are just beautiful to wear. They are fitted at the top and billowy down the legs, until the tighten again just short of the ankles, so you can wear lots of different types of shoes with them, yay.
The Clara Corset, is a divine leather corset. I decided just like with the pants to show one of the solids one of the prints. Both types have their advantages in the sexy area, the solid has that traditional vamp like look, and the floral has a sexy innocence that is just delightful. As you can see too, the corset fits over the new pants, as well as some old favourites such as the Yoho shorts from LeLutka.
Make sure you try on the demos and fall in love with it all, because it is YUM.

Someones Treasure
Today I went to a sim called Sleepy Bones, it is a sim built by the talented Turnip Sorbet, the builder of Lula and other fabulous builds around Second Life. The sim is not going to remain open at this time, but you really should go by and have a look before it closes tonight. The residential feel is just so perfect, and to end it all they are having a garage sale, and if Whimsy and I left anything 😛 you should grab up the bargains.This cinched shortish length blazer made me think of vintage finds, such as ones you find at opportunity stores and/or garage sales and market stalls. I love that it is just shy of being too small looking, that the colours are lovely, but it is the style and overall look that I love.
The Soho Blazer by Cynful looks wonderful either casual and fun, or more of a dressy look such as the two options shown. The capris are part of the Collabor88/April release by Kyoot, they come in some really beautiful colours, and I love the depth of the Navy. The red and navy combo went really well with some of the bits and pieces I grabbed at the Garage Sale, such as the hat – which I already had in other colours from the Gatcha event they were originally at – and some glasses and a bag, that were all so cute.
The blazer also looked wonderful with the beautiful slimline pencil skirt in mesh from Maitreya. I added the new Flower Belt from Toki Doki it looks so cute together, and I cannot wait to add the belt to other looks as I think it is a must have for sure. The skin I am wearing is from Izzies, and is the new Cristina skin. It comes in a great range of tones and has make up options on the eyes and the lips, so you can make many combinations of looks. The skins have cleavage options as well as comes with the nail base covers of the skin so that your fake nails don’t need tinting undercoats.
The lovely new style of hair is another from Exile, it is mesh and moves really well with the movement of the head and shoulders. I recommend demoing every hair there is in Exile and buying them all lol.

Vote for Renee
Gorgeous Yongho of Juicybomb – or Gogo as many call her – Â contacted me this afternoon to let me know about a very important event taking place. This event is not in Second Life, but is very important to a Second Life Resident, a member of not only our Second Life Community but also the Blogging Community. This is her blog here, and this is the event here.
Now calling it an event may seem a bit odd, but winning this prize of a van that will get her around and make a change to her whole life, seems to me an event and worthy of the title. Renee suffers from Congenital Muscular Dystrophy, and while she seems to manage with an upbeat and incredibly caring attitude to life and her friends, this is a disease that doesn’t just hinder but it hurts, a lot. Renee talks about it somewhat in the article that accompanies the contest info, so please take the few minutes it will take out of your day, and vote, as many times as you can. This is one thing that every Second Life resident can get behind, and it will not cost you anything but a few moments and may just change the life of someone deserving of it.
Let as many people as you know, know how they can vote for Renee also.

Oh. Okay. I see. You think this has nothing to do with you
So I was moving pieces around getting ready to set up for a picture, and Whimsy came online, she looked so in keeping with the mood that I asked her to sit and be in my picture.
A lot of the pieces I am wearing and have around me are from Collabor88/April, the beautiful mannequin and armchair are from Trompe Loeil, that store has been releasing some incredible mesh items lately, and for those that want bits and pieces for the home, definitely a great opportunity to get them at a low price. Another great home wares store in the event is LISP, they have released a whole slew of Umbrella’s you can wear, as well as a charming boat umbrella, you will have to see to luxuriate in. Thirdly and not in Collabor88 but awesome, is the urn and artwork are by Whimsy Winx of W.Winx .
The skin and clothing – which is an all in one ensemble – are by Tres Blah. The jumper so reminds me of The Devil Wears Prada, you know the sweater Andy wears that Miranda rips her a new one over about thinking fashion doesn’t matter. You remember the whole Cerulean blue lecture, it was fabulous.
The hair we are wearing are both from Exile, the one I have on is new, and is just a lovely side swept do in mesh. The one Whimsy has on is a stunning shaggy shorter style, and she looks so much like the girl that was in one of the final seasons of Ally McBeal, you know the one that was broken up with the guy that Ally ended up having crazy sex fantasies about. The new bags from Tee*fy – previously only available at The Dressing Room – are just glorious in the multitude of colours available, I really thought this blue and orange mix was perfect with the whole Collabor88 French New Wave palette.
The pose I am using is from aDORKables new set at Pose Fair which opened today, I am sure everyone is going nuts grabbing as many incredible poses and props as they can.

Mimi Me
Don’t forget Pose Fair will start tomorrow, and is full of incredible new pose/animation store releases, so be sure to get up early tomorrow and pack a lunch, you will need it.
Mimikri has released new Mesh items, and the Romy pieces are just bliss. They are beautiful to style together, but make perfect separates as well. I really like the open fronted cardigan in the lovely knit and mid length sleeves. It has a lovely tie belt keeping it together, and the belt is a separate attachment, so it is a great piece to have for other items. Underneath it I am wearing the clothing layer lacey Romy bra. The bra is beautiful and comes on undershirt and shirt layers. It is great to have a beautiful quality strapless bra.
The Romy pencil skirt is beautiful, the crochet like knit is stunning. All the mesh items come in Standard Sizing with demos to try before you purchase. I am really looking forward to some more Mesh items from Mimikri, the style throughout the whole brand is chic and elegant, and even the store itself is like stepping into a very upmarket boutique, decadent and refined.

Pose Fair 2012
Pose Fair 2012 is starting on the 15th of April. I got a sneak peak today and took some pics of the booths that were set up already. The build is very minimalist, and you should rez the whole lot very fast. There are two sims, one is more geared towards adult themed poses, but not all are, so make sure you visit both…but a word of warning there are some explicit images, so if you are PG only, then you will need to be aware of that.
The event is a huge undertaking and has been well orchestrated by those involved, there is a wonderful assortment of pose and animation stores, from all over the grid. There are so many incredible packs and single poses, props and photo scenes available to purchase…many stores have gift items or dollarbies…and there was one store that was so cute, there was a pose pack made by their 12y/o son for a homework assignment and he is going to use the money to pay for his own summer-camp. That set is pay as much as you like over 1L and I bought it for 500L because I am a big softy for that kind of thing.

Taut and Terrific
You know those days when you log in and then hours later you realise you haven’t moved on step, because your IMs didn’t stop since you arrived. Today was another one of those days, and while I absolutely love the interaction, sometimes I wonder where the day went, and why it went so fast.
I really do love IM’s though, almost as much as I love in person avatar to avatar conversations. Nothing is more fun than being out and about and running into people you know, or know of, and partaking in a chatter that can end up incredibly fun and informative. Whimsy and I run around all over the place, and for a while there, we would run into all sorts of wonderful people and just congregate in a chatting circle. So if you ever see us around in world, please don’t ever hesitate to say hi.
Today I was playing around with shadows, did a fun shot earlier in the day that I left on flickr only, just because I was wearing everything you have already seen in the last two days posts, but if you want to go look here is the link. All of my pics go to my flickr, all you have to do is click them, and it also leads you to bigger versions of the same pics, so that I don’t use up all the bandwidth on the feeds. Later this afternoon I jumped on my stand and did some studio shadow shots though, much easier to deal with, you should have followed Whimsy around earlier like I did, every time she would set up a shot someone would walk right in front of her, thank goodness for de-rendering – if an avatar is in your way, or there are just too many people around, just right click on them and then choose the derender option. Not too sure if it is on all viewers or not, but it is definitely on the Firestorm viewer and a great bonus.
Anyway back to me and my shadows – la di da sings – I used a curtain texture as a backdrop and have to say, it really ended up like those Glamour Shots people used to pay to get done at studios in RL. Now not too sure if that is a good thing or a bad thing, but seeing as the items I am wearing are fabulous, I am going with GREAT THING.
The dress I am wearing is a recentish item from BOOM, the dress is sleek sophisticated and stunning, and comes in about four bazillion colours and lace insert combinations. Boom always provides incredible colour varieties, so be sure to check out all the mini packs at the same time, as the price on those is a steal. The dress comes in Standard Sizing and is of course MESH and really well created, with beautiful shading and one hell of a bottom.  It is a lot curvier in the hips and bum area than most SS but it could be an illusion, but for those that feel like a little more in the curves department, I would definitely give them a whirl, as Standard Sizing changes slightly dependent on the style of the item.
The skin I am wearing is Jen from League, but I have added the Acid & Mala lips as a tattoo layer, they do such fun lipsticks and teeth add ons, so be sure to check out their ever growing collection. The poses are by Glitterati Poses, and just remember that Pose Fair 2012 is about to begin this weekend, so get yourself ready because I have seen some new pack teasers and vendor ads and WOW this will be the most incredible display of props and poses all in two amazing sims you will see – until next year of course.

Pop my Cheri
Mixing some old favourites with some New delights, from Wear Gray for a Day and Collabor88/April. I really like the French theme of this months Collabor88. One of my faves is of course the Hat/Hair, you know I love hat/hair lots, so two styles at once in such beautiful styles is great.
The two hairstyles from Clawtooth at Collabor88/April are just beautiful, with whimsical waves and curls in these really pretty long styles. The beret is texture change when clicked on, with the colours of the theme, so they will go really well with other items from the event. The Seberg pants I am wearing are from Ingenue, also a collabor88/april item. They are mesh and come in standard sizing, with great colours and a very mod style to them.
I really like the cut of the pants, being narrow just above the ankles, much like the Zipper Skinny Jeans from Maitreya that I showed yesterday. When pants were styled this tight, they had to stop above the ankle so that they did not have to stretch over the wider part of the ankles before dropping to the foot.
The skin I am wearing is part of the Wear Gray for a Day by Glam Affair. It is a wonderful greyscale skin, with beautiful detailing, and additional make ups as part of the set, three types with four colours each on tattoo layers.

Oui Oui Oui all the way home
Reminders that we have Wear Gray still on, and the upcoming Pose Fair 2012 is in full swing, as pose makers are busy making new and exciting pose sets for release, you can see them uploading teasers all over flickr, it is exciting. Collabor88/April has started and the theme is French New Wave, and as usual the designers involved did a wonderful release.
Today though I am featuring one of the recent releases from Maitreya, which is their Mesh Zipper Skinny Jeans. As soon as I saw these and then put them on it was love, being the right age in the 80’s meant these were a staple item, whether in classic blue denim or a more rugged black, they were all the rage. The mesh is shaped perfectly to form the bottom, and seriously my bottom is yummy in these, that is one thing that MESH has really done wonders for, the fact that we spend so much time looking at our backs, now the view is sublime.
Wearing with some wonderful items from Collabor88 too, the bra top from Boom is just gorgeous, so cute and chic all at the same time. The top in pink I am wearing is actually part of a dress from Callie Cline for Collabor88 but going with the theme I wore it as a top instead.
The must haves accessories wise from Collabor88/April are the incredible glasses from Yummy and the so adorable ring from Whippet & Buck, I have always been a big fan when W&B Branches out into jewelry pieces, it is rare and it shouldn’t be, more more more.
Get on over, grab it all, and wear it all month until the next one.
