Share your heart – Mel, Fiachra, Ashia, Justice, Newdoll, Sofia, Whimsy and Gary
I am blessed every day, I have met the most amazing people through Second Life, some may not be as close to me as others but everyone of them holds a part of my heart. The ones that I spend most days with you all know of by name by now I am sure, I mention all of them so regularly that I hope you have come to realise already what they mean to me.
This post didn’t start out to be a YAY my Friends ROCK! post, but as I was uploading and looking over the pictures that I did tonight, I realised how much influence they have over my everyday, and especially my blogging. For a start they are all so incredibly talented, Mel with his creations and just overall knowledge on everything, he is a walking wiki, he is my heart and every day I get to spend time with him is magical even if he did call me screwby doo today – I have a random scooby laugh, but I swear he was saying I was nuts :P.
Fiachra and his beautiful jewelry, he has always been an incredible part of SL I don’t think I would have gotten through so many big changes without him… and his mind, which is very similar to Mels, so between the both of them I feel like a pinball at times; donking from one side to the other and TILT!
Ashia and Justice and their different way of looking at Second Life, their artistic passions that can range from the flowery and fluttery to the dark and bloody. I think everyone just thinks I don’t like that kind of dark art, it really isn’t that, it is that I cannot handle blood and a friend in the same pic, it breaks my heart. Ashia makes cusswords sound sexy and she has this way of picking you up and dusting you off and pushing you back into battle that is just so motherly she is so amazing and strong. Justice makes me laugh just thinking of her laughing, because when she does let herself stop working for long enough to have fun, she can power a small country with her chuckle. No one can rock out short hair like her, and her absolute bravado is just awesome.
Newdolly is that true friend that can go awol for a month or two, but is always there to count on. She does her own thing, has her own passions and when she shares she shares everything, you do not get only parts of Newdoll but all of her, and anyone who doesn’t see what a gift that is can’t be helped. Her art is fabulous and she can takes the erotic to a whole new level.
Sofia has such talent rolled into such an adorable package but so feisty. She knows how to take charge and get things done, and will help her true friends as much as she can, whether it be advice or skills she has, and she has the skills for sure. I adore spending time with her, as I do all my friends, she has a wit that is so dry she can send redbull flying out your nose at least twice a day.
Whimsy and Gary, such an adorable couple, you can practically set your watch by Gary, and I think Whimsy does. She spends all day doing her things she needs to do, and then when he logs on everything stops and being with each other is the theme. Things as simple as shopping or playing Greedy Greedy just become a little nicer when spent doing them with those two. Whimsy has talent she hasn’t even uncovered herself, but I see it every single day, just a little more shows itself and those close to her know and encourage it.
That is what friends do, that is what they do for me every single day. So when I finished taking these pics, and was looking them over after upload I realised that they are a bit of everyone of those people. They give me strength to do more, learn more, experience more…when I don’t blog for a few days it is because they will ALWAYS come first… I really do see their influence in what I do, I want them to know that. It is because of them that I want to be better in everything, and in reverse I am overjoyed with their successes that I want to believe they gain something from mine too, and to me just making a pretty picture and being so happy to have learned a new trick in PS or somewhere is a success.
So thank you to all of them, for holding my heart and sometimes filling it so full I cannot breathe. The others not mentioned know who they are, they know I love them dearly, because I tell them every time we talk.
The clothing in these pictures is all by Baiastice from the new couture collect recently released, such beautiful colours and very feminine, whether formal or warrior it all shines. I am using the new Amacci poses that have been released for Pose Fair, there is a new AO which some of them are from, and a new pose pack…the AO is called Posh and it is lovely to wear.
I had fun shooting these pics, going from place to place. Some places I had to use my VR Studio Mobile Library and some I could actually rez at, the wheat field let me rez it even said I could in the covenant, how cool was that.

No Race Day
I love What’s New SL Group, biased maybe, but today I got to feature some people that I have explored as stores due to the group. What I love more though, is when people provide all info in notices…that’s what What’s New SL was mainly set up for…but when it actually happens, it is very cool. Such as sending all landmarks to different locations so that if I happen to be intending to go to one location and get a notice for a store there, I can pop into it while already there, yes that means updating satelites locations, but it is due to those that many of us find your mains anyway.
Rant, Rant, Rant…
It isn’t a race, I cannot be the only one that is out shopping ; hears that there is a new release by a certain store, and knows they have a smaller store where I am, run or cam over to see items that are six months old if not older, then just gets sadface. Yeah getting ranty, but seriously you people pay to have these locations represent your product, so why not set up newness at all your spots THEN send the notice ? in RL it is a lot harder to do that but they do, so why in SL where it takes ten seconds to tp to the other side of the grid would you not ?
Rant, Rant, Rant…
In this case it was actually not just LM’s but Xstreet links, meaning I could buy right from my VR Studio, just opened browser and I had a new outfit…easy.Again the store owner is thinking of making the most of their announcement options, in not just What’s New SL but ALL marketing options they may have, in most cases you get one option to captivate a customer with your release, as they are usually getting dozens of shopping options per hour in SL…so giving them EVERY available way to spend their lindens with you is just common sense.
Rant, Rant, Rant…
Again it is not a race, unless you have a fair deadline, or a collab project that HAS to go out at that exact moment, you should take your time, dot all your i’s and cross all your t’s , there are enough ways to promote your stores these days, that you could have info going out every day for a week to different customers. Next release I dare you to try it :P.
The first look is actually a new to me store, but yay for them joining What’s New SL . Not only do I really like the items she has for sale, but I love the Muhi store set up, and on inspection it is her that actually built it as well. This Asymetrical bodysuit is wonderful and actually has the option to wear as more of a jacket if you aren’t into the whole bodysuit look. Which with dress pants would look very dressy under the right circumstances.
The Sam dress by Elate I have had too long not blogged, shame. The Fleur de lis give this tshirt style dress a regal appearance. I do like that Kellie also took the option of plain back, as the all print look can sometimes be a bit too much. I am wearing some newly release jewelry from Ganked with it, in various forms, but I love the necklace the way it sits on the actual collar, because the way it is designed it has that shawl clip look as though more than a necklace but also an item that is holding the dress on the shoulders.
Loving the New Prestige Boots by Bax Coen in silver as much as I am ? Bax has also moved to her own sim this past week, so no more mainland lag for her. The colours that come with the silver and also gold are just lovely, one of the four not shown is actually stunning, but I am saving it – or savoring it . These will be released very soon, so just hold on tight until then, or just go explore the new sim :).
The skirt, or lack there of;Â is the item that I bought while taking pics. It is actually part of a set, and I am honest, I couldn’t tell you what came with the skirt because once I laid eyes on it, that was it *grabby hands. One of the older gartery tops from Cynful is Vogue, so many different options and layers in these tops, with and without lace, and in different coloured lace too. Talk about going all out to satisfy your customers, the most layers you do on everything, the more likely they are to be go to items for people that love layering and mixing and matching.
The scarf is so cute, it was actually at the accessory fair as a dollarbie, in white and black. Haunted Zuzu is an offshoot of Material Squirrel and I really admire Kala’s skills and exploration of new and innovative accessories, something as simple as a lace scarf can add so much to an outfit, this would be really nice too in place of a blouse collar, to give something older a fresh look.
Kissed by Lithium notices make me laugh, sorry but they do. It is not the products, but the way they go about making a new release sound like a must have prescription is too funna. I am a remiss in not blogging this set earlier, the Imovane set has the cutest baggy boardies with a lovely bikini in many colour options. Doing baggy is hard in SL because of how the mesh works, and I would like to see these worked on a little more to maybe incorporate a cuff, but for fun and frolicking in the surf they totally work.
Totally gave me a chance to wear my Gyala clog sandals by Enkythings. I love how Enktan managed to modernise the clog in this way, and the colours and base choices really work. The studs along the sides that show that these are true blog workmanship is just genius.
Spinning through this post with more Eva skins by Tuli, the make ups, skin tone and body all worked for this post so well. I was privileged to see a sneak peak at a new skin already in the works by Tuli the other night with Whimsy. It is like nothing Tuli has done before and it is amazing. Those looking for more from the brand will just be in awe of what is to come.
Magika hair love all over the place, they are having an insane SALE at the moment, so be sure you don’t miss out on that, the hair packs are slashed to clear lol J/K …argh imagine if we only got the chance to create so many of something, wow would SL be fight to the death.
Not all purple but enough to make Ashia not donk me on the head.
If you are a guy looking for poses, or a girl like me who loves using guy poses, then you need to check out the new Homme collection at No Strings Attached, Milli just put some out and they are the ones I am using in the last pic. The first two pics are more sneak peaks from aDORKable, cannot wait for pose fair, and the third are all by Body Language …all such talented posemakers.

Surfs Up
Last night Whimsy, Gary and me were out at the new build Nemo, if you haven’t been you need to go, it is amazing. While there we met a new resident who told us he was a photographer in RL. We got so excited that this man would go on to find out that Second Life offers so much opportunity for those with a photographic vision. The tools may be completely different, but the photography that comes out of Second Life every day in ALL of its forms, is just amazing.
The reason that we have such an incredible talent pool though, is also a lot to do with the incredible pose makers we have…some started out just making poses that worked for their own pics, and some really wanted to add to the movement of the basic avatar, making dreams come true, and the imagination sparkle.
With Pose Fair just around the corner, one such pose store that definitely sparkles is aDORKable, their talent and just fun personalities makes using their poses so enjoyable. Whether they be fun and themed, such as this fabu surfboard that acts like a multi poseball, or their modeling poses, which the close up of me is a sneak peak at what they are planning to release for the fair. For that pose I of course used my VR Studio a pic takers bestest friend, I love having all my poses organised so effortlessly, just drag and drop into individual libraries, no need to do anything else.
Don’t be jealous either boys, because there is totally a male version of this, which means you and yours can paddle out and take some fab shots…I have only taken a few of the ones in the board so that I wouldn’t spoil the fun. The board is also texture change, and there is a demo at aDORKables main store.
When surf is up, it isn’t a hard leap to Sand Shack Surf, and thankfully not only my board had a purple option – yes still on punishment week, which I am enjoying too much shhh don’t tell Ashia – the bikini had a lovely pink and purple combo, and the hair is just too adorable to not wear as much as possible.
Featuring today also the beautiful Butterfly shades from GOS , not only does he do kick bum boots , but his sunglasses are wicked too. Not only are they so pretty on, but they are scripted to be worn up on the head also, as well as a whole lot of other features.
Oiled up to save my beautiful skin from sharks with the LAQ light body oil, all atop the Eva skin in her base make up number one, this skin is so beautiful, if you haven’t been to get the demos yet you really need to, and to try the skin at a fraction of the price, you still have time to join TULI’s in world group and grab the generous gift she sent out in all tones.
Don’t forget to make time for PoseFair coming soon, but until then you can grab yourself a board and more at aDORKable .

A time for merryment and cheer, it is Christmas time after all. For some, or many that means a lot of parties, and just to help them along I decided to not just feature the Martini Glass with built in burlesque animations, but also added a little cocktail cheer for you to try out, if you are wanting some festive coloured drinks.
The glass is made by Luth Brodie of Reel Expression, honestly I don’t know why it is even called that anymore…my friends and I all call it Luth’s and she herself names her poses with Luth lol; you could totally save yourself 10 extra characters for the new year . Sillyness aside this glass is great, not only for picture taking, but for a prop for a club or even a store, for store models.
12 poses are able to be accessed by the drop down menu, also with the /1a command in chat, you can alter your rotation and placement in and on the glass, this comes in so handy as all of us are different shapes and sizes. I actually added the pathcut sphere to the inside of the glass and tinted and semi transparented it, just to have a full with cocktail look, even adding a smidge of glow. You may want to go even further with some sliced fruit or other such decorations.
Whatever you do, make it fun, it is that time of year after all. Whatever you do though, if you do make these drinks in your first life…. DO NOT DRINK AND DRIVE.

blog – Warm, Warmer, Warmest
Yesterday was like a relay race, but we were all running together. From one location to another, on the backs of each spot, it was really remarkable how much ground we covered from logging in, to passing out. Along the way I picked up Whimsy and Gary, and then Justice and Fiachra even joined us for a sizzling hour or so.
I am honestly exhausted again just thinking about it. But it was awesome fun, and we do most things in conference IM calls, so it’s constant nattering and oooing and ahhing, and some yelling on occasion, that part is usually me getting all bent out of shape about something stupid.
Fiachra got to use the old expression “can’t see the forest for the trees” which had us all groaning, even Gary did some damage shopping up a storm, it was a great day, and totally seasonal mania. We definitely found new to us stores though, and even though it is sweltering down here, I came out all snuggly.
The dresses I am wearing all come from M*Motion, a little Japanese store. They have some lovely items, and the prices are really budget friendly. The first dress actually had more pieces, but even if not it was the belt that grabbed my attention anyway.
Extras can be so much fun, and in this case it was the belt. With the boots I am wearing, it is all the extra leggings that just fill you with delight. Machang of Aoharu/Anexx has included not just the normal aran style knit in her knit legwarmers/boots set, but also a nordic version to match the recent nordic knit sweater jackets she released, and not only do you get those two options, but also knitted leggings in a whole range of winter delight colours.
I am actually wearing some of the leggings in the first and second picture. You can of course also see that the boots come in two varieties, heels or flats, seperate but totally perfect for those that don’t do heels or ever wear flats. The second outfit, was kind of a grab it anyway purchase, it does have text sort of transparent stamped into the cleavage area, it is subtle but if not your thing, then not for you…I just liked the fun steampunky look of it.
Both looks also allowed me some hat/hair loving. I adore hat/hair, have always done, and I have said so more than ten times in the past…well today the release of the New Fri.day styles didn’t let me down in that department. A whole lot of hair to love, and many of them with hats, or scarfs etc. But for those that aren’t about the hat/hair love, the styles have been repeated without.
Fri.day has such beautiful textures also, so mixing it up a bit was definitely putting me in a lighter and brighter mood, mind you the names of their colours could have you seeking therapy lol.The hats/scarves are all texture change on click, so you can co-ordinate with your favourite knits. The beany style also even has some striped combos that are a lot more urban in my opinion, and great for mixing with mens sweaters and argyle styles.
The last dress is my favourite, I grabbed that in all colours, and it is not only warm, but hell sexy. Scooped neck, but not too low, just low enough, to not only show off Jewelry , but also killer cleavage in the form o f the Bella skin by Tuli. A nice split up the thigh, and a gorgeous knit weave that has it definitely a more luxurious look overall. The dress also comes with its own open toed stirrup style socks, that do have a smidge of residue at the tops, but overall YUM.
I couldn’t help wanting to add to the glam with the stunning Fur Coat from Aoharu, shown in the past in white, the black is just sleek and all about the glamour. Worn long or short, with this sweater dress the combo is divine.
Tuli has recently released new make ups in the Bella range, with a different twist, either being all about the lips, or all about the eyes. Today I am showing ones that are all about the lips, giving rich deep shades, with a perfect overall effect. Bella has been a huge hit with many, so adding to the make ups is a wonderful idea, allowing for a long love for those that have bought it to be their full time skin.

More beautiful items from the Footwear Expo, I am loving the diverse range of this years fair. So far there has been an equal kind of ratio on new items and already released. But as I always say ‘everything old is new to someone” so those creators that didn’t get a chance to release new items for the fair, still have an audience.
I got all excited a few weeks back, when I saw the city fur hat from LeLutka, I even mentioned to Minnu that she needed to make us muffs for the cold weather, as I have always wanted one in Second Life, and funnily enough had still yet to find one. Now LeLutka has released a fur hat and muff combo as their LeLook Exclusive for this month.
I went to Elate the other day as mentioned, and was really excited to see a dress called Tuli, which of course makes sense when you realise that the latest Bella skins have a make up called Kellie lol. I decided that I wanted to go all out with the sweater dress. I grabbed one of the latest releases from Nyte n Day, the Just Corset in Sand, and adding a tint got it the colour I wanted. The Just Corset and Just bands are great to completely change, or enhance a look, coming on all layers they rock.
Back to the Tuli dress though, this sweater dress is snuggly, with the large cowl neck and extended sleeves you will feel all huggable in it. The leggings I am wearing are the Zaara’s Nishar Leggings in Ivory – again tinted – to add the same tone to them as the dress…because if I am going to be this warmed up, I need to get into some serious layering. I also at one stage just wore the knee high and thigh high sock versions of the leggings, which also created a fun look.
The sensational Big Sur boots are from YS & YS , they are featured at the footwear expo and are just glorious leather in a great range of colours. They definitely have a lovely lived in look to them, and a definite trip to the cobblers to have them perfectly fitted feet.
Also from YS & YS in the footwear department, is the Illetes Sandals. A roman sandal look, with the added bonus of not just being able to change skin, nails and toe rings, but also the ability to change the metals featured…I went with the bronze as it is a lot softer with the brown shades in the picture.
Again from Elate is the Penelope dress set combo. You not only get the colour top that you buy the outfit in, but also the white. Giving you two looks, and more if you choose to wear the tops on their own with other skirts or pants, or the skirt with different tops, it is all finished well to achieve that. I love the scaled look of the skirts on these dresses, as being a pisces they rock my fishness.
More tones of the beautiful Bella Skin by Tuli than the ones I took the main pics in. I am also wearing a latest release lingerie set from Blowpop, lowrise boyshorts and triangle bra’s called Cassie, which is funny because the triangle bra reminds me of training bras we used to start out with when younger. Most recently Bonds of Australia brought back this look big time here, and the colour coordinating or not contrast look has been featured big time in their ads… so I am chuffed to have that option for Second Life too.

Blog – Work It, Like Wow
Footwear Expo starts at 10am HERE
Incredibly small prims are a challenge for anyone that builds, whether it be for clothing, Jewelry or accessories. It takes an ability to manipulate prims against all boundaries, there are of course nano prims now, and sculpties make that task easier…there are older creators who mastered it with regular prims though, and often it is just awe inspiring.
Whether old school or new skills, the task is hard, but the outcome can be incredibly satisfying. One creator doing amazing things with small prims and in this case shoes, is 2408 Alekseev and her store 24 Shoo Shoes. I know 24 from other endeavors and she has always been such an incredibly lovely person, and really cares about her business…seeing this progression over the past year into this incredible work is a delight.
Definitely catwalk inspired shoes, these are why we adore Second Life most I would say, the ability to wear spine snapping shoes with no aches or pains, other than making sure our skin matches, and believe me 24 has made that incredibly painless too. She has included two skin huds in her shoes, which genuis-ly (ok possible made up word) are on an alpha layer that you can move your camera to make sure your legs are behind and get the perfect shade, its fabulous. Like I said incredibly detailed and just beautiful, you will have to see them for yourself.
The clothing I chose to feature the shoes with, are the sexy and seductive Feather Dress by LeLutka, such beautiful details to this dress, I am though missing a part of it which covers the breasts, but I liked it without and with Jewelry that I chose to let it go. Definitely runway worthy, this dress lets you dress it up even more with things such as the Dramatic lashes from PanJen, and some lovely Jewelry pieces from Sigma and Hair Rose from Essentia finished the look.
Then we have a much older dress from Tuli, this dress comes with a long skirt gown option that I adore, but of course because we were featuring the shoes I went with the shorter option, still such a classic the Gwen gown is, it makes me want to beg Tuli to make more and more clothing, when she is able to create such perfect pieces as these.
Perfect accessories from Glow Studios in the KOS Set, it even actually comes with a handbag, but it was enough without, and a wonderful soft gold, that just enhanced the richness of the whole look. The vixen skins by Gala were an easy choice for that severe yet gorgeous look I wanted to create, BAM! I am a serious catwalk model BAM BAM! – laughs as I tip off the stage. But seriously it really has that look for runway, especially with such incredible make ups, my obvious choice for the gold was Majesty make up.
Just remember whatever shoes you buy at the fair – and don’t forget part of most sales are going to charity, in some cases all -Â make sure you WORK IT BABY!.

An interesting spin on things for this years Footwear Expo, is that there are going to be pose stores set up at the fair, and the exciting part of that, is that some – if not all – are going to be selling shoe style poses. Often it is difficult not only for bloggers and photographers to find the right shoe pose, but for shoe makers themselves. So if you do, or are planning to make shoes in the future, even if you aren’t at the fair this year, stop by the animation/poses stores and pick up some.
Footwear Expo – TELEPORT – starts at 10am tomorrow and a percentage of sales made at the event will go to charity.
One such pose is the one on the left by Olive Juice, who will be at the fair, showing off the NEW Demoness shoes by Kalnins. These shoes have as usual all the trappings of a Kalnins shoe with feet inbuilt. The hud has options to not just tint the feet and change nailpolish, but also to change the texture of the shoes from base colour, to heels, with the metal studs being either gold or silver.
The outfit I am wearing is from Twisted and Spoiled, an incredible store that does so many things, not only clothing, but shoes, hair and accessories, and most sets are complete including shoes and jewelry. I kid you not except for the shoes in this pic, all the accessories and clothing pieces can in one outfit. Definitely a right click wear kind of deal. The amount of work that goes into each piece is just fabulous and you will definitely be seeing more of them here in the future.
The skin I am wearing is a much loved Bella by Tuli, we waited patiently for its release after the past skin fair, and just recently it was released in Tuli’s main store – which is actually a temporary location while rebuilding -Â Stunning make ups, and that divine breast enhancement she does so well as an option. Make sure you check the demos if you haven’t already.

Wish you were here
Cruising around for the day with Whimsy Winx and Dot Lane, hair was the first agenda, which then moved to pants,and more and more hair. We ended up tping all over the place, some crashes, and Whimsy almost getting sent home for lagging into the wrong part of a sim lol.
We were discussing the changes to the Silent sim over the past two years, and I was baffled by Kyoots small store no, curious about what else was here we actually looked past the inside of the store, and realised that the ground level is a beautiful coastal setting with Shag main store there, I hadn’t been to Shag since hair fair booth, but I was catching up today.
Moral of the story is go outside the landing points. There is often so much more to see only a hop, skip and jump away – or if you are Sofia, a spin, twist and twirl HAPPY REZDAYYYYYY. I love this vintage inspired look , the Hat/Hair is awesome and has texture change menu, the jacket had to get another wear, this time with the vest that comes with. When the pants were released I ran right over and got tpd away for work stuff after only grabbing one pair, the diamond pattern ones, but went back today as I re fell for the stripes.

Girls on the road
Today the girls were in a shopping mood, which is kind of regular in our group. We went with an old and new kind of thing today and while we were all styled up and looking fab I took some pics at the last store we hit.
My outfit comprises of the old and new to me, with one of my favourite denim skirts, that I have had for a year or so now, and knew was perfect when I went to grab the tank top I bought today. Whimsy and I went to Muism 12 hours early for the sale the other day, and of course I ended up passing out an hour before it began, and only now managed to make it back there.
As soon as I had it on with the Denim skirt I grabbed the J’s long boots in reddish brown and I was stoked. All that denim love lead us to Aoharu , where Whimsy wanted to get herself one of the latest vintage denim jackets. Ashia ended up finding the stunning tailored jacket that I had to grab myself as well, it is fantastic and definitely old school in it’s straight from the opshop look. It actually comes with the vest underneath and Ashia styled it well with the adorable button down dark blue skirt and the lovely lace scarf from Miel.
The other great addition are the awesome BAX Prestige boots in the brown, those come with four different browns and one that wouldn’t normally be a first choice was absolutely perfection for the jacket. When Whimsy and I were at Muism early lol, we scoped out what we were going to buy at the sale, which was in a way kind of fun, like making a wish list.
As soon as she saw the asymetrical Zip skirts she knew they would be hers, and sure enough she fat packed it. They also come with a shorter non asymetrical version, so a steal during the sale for sure. The skirts and my fab tank are actually located in the smaller summery store outside and along the pathway, it can be a tad confusing but they are definitely reduced during the sale as well.
Of course Whimsy got distracted by all the pretties at Aoharu, who wouldn’t…so as well as the denim she ended up preparing for the colder weather ahead, and secretly I think it was a way of convincing herself she needed new boots too. She is wearing the Military coat over an old top from Celestial studios that she has had for yonks, and still looks gorgeous.
Now the skin you see on all of us is the NEW Bella by TULI skins that have been released at Skin/Shape Expo, a portion of all sales on these skins will go to the Susan G Kolmen charity that they are raising funds for. We all look so different in this beautiful skin and at the moment Tuli is working hard to get the rest of them released I am sure, but don’t rush her because artists need to take time.
We ended the trip at BP* where my skirt is from, the girls all picked up one or two, and I grabbed another for myself, we decided to take the pics out the back door on the Drowsy Sim. Thankfully we had our VR Professional Library HUDs to be able to change poses with on location even though unable to rez.
