Blog – In my Head
It took my breathe away. Some may think that Second Life is not real, but the experience many of us had yesterday certainly felt it. It was the kind of event that made you realise, wow we have talent here, this is not just dressing up, this is art, this is talent, and above all…this is Fashion.
“Fashion is as profound and critical a part of the social life of man as sex, and is made up of the same ambivalent mixture of irresistible urges and inevitable taboos.”
Rene KonigThe scene was ethereal, dressed as Monks the guests arrived and were seated by the lovely staff of LeLutka, I myself was seated by one of my favourites. The seats were the finest leather, the location was like a temples ruins, with the mist coming up from below. It was a place of tranquility and peace.
The ambiance was provided by the music list of Maddox Dupont, his music is legendery when it comes to Fashion Shows and Events, the audience requesting the set list throughout the performance, it was like attending an Opera or Ballet, of international acclamation.
The final guests where seated, the press were anxious, and we waited with only the highest of expectations. Knowing that full well what we were about to see would be different than anything seen before, I had spoken with Minnu a few times over the leading up weeks to the show.
This was something that they wanted to do for some time…returning them to the older MMS way of doing things, leading from the heart so to speak, where all the passion lives.
But first there was the unveiling of a New and very bright star, Anya Ohmai was about to launch her first couture collection named Silhouette.
“Silhouettes; dark shapes enwrapped in contrasting light — mysterious, alluring shape that you can’t quite make out…before that burst of light.”
Anya Ohmai
It was marvelous, she has been toying with us the last few months with her quirky fashion, and bright colours..it was all building up to this, this incredibly sleek and sophisticated collection. Stepping up a notch not only for herself, but for all of us who have been watching and admiring her work.
Then the long corridor was strutted upon by a multitude of Misses, the LeLutka models started to wow us all. The LeLutka ULTRA Fashion Experiment was the concept, an experiment by some incredibly talented creators, which made this show, and it’s collection something that will round out the season superbly.
The items had a definite leaning towards fetish wear, and as I have worn posture collars and harnesses with my LeLutka in the past anyway, wasn’t a far reach or surprise. The styles were marvelous, and I saw items that if I wasn’t at the show seeing them, I would have known from a mile away that they were created by Thora Charron, she definitely has her own style. The combination of items by Thora, Minnu and Marni were remarkable and there were definite showstopping moments, were a collective sigh could be heard from many.
Do not hesitate in travelling to LeLutka when the announcement is made of this release, from what I hear it is very soon, and the OhMai Silhouette collection will be released on the 30th just in time for New Years.
I put together a little mix of old and soon to be released LeLutka for the post, and also to show that for those of you that got the skin with the ponytail flipped forward over your face, and don’t know if you could pull it off…do what I did, turn it spin it, and stick it in your head, and you end up with an incredibly tight ponytail that works stupendously with the hairbase, I have been wearing it this way ever since it’s release and it is awesome.
Now with the collection came shoes, and boots. But tonight I am showing some NEW items, in the form of the Docs 8 Hole boots, these are created by Gospel Voom and have three different options on click, pristine, abused and loose. Also if you buy one pair, and want another colour, you can go and buy a tin of boot polish for less than half the original price, and wear and click and BAM! the new colour is incorporated into the boots, giving you the new and the original to choose from.

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.

Blog – Dressed for Success
Yesterday the three of us, Ashia and Whimsy and I, were discussing the sexyness of a wrap dress. I got a tad too graphic I am sure, but then Whimsy mentioned easy access; so I was off the too much info hook. So today when I saw this dress it was an instant TP, as the style and fabric is identical to one I had RL a few years back.
I have since gone back twice, picking up the other colours as well as tping over Whimsy, who just as I knew she would, got all excited at how beautiful it was too. I definitely couldn’t pass up the lovely vest, that is actually worn on its own, but originally comes with a sheer black undershirt blouse style look, which today was a little bit too frou frou for me.
The other day I was all up in Sofias’ do, and told her that when she was over her new hair, she could let me know where it was from lol, we love our big hair and I loved it on her. In usual adorable Sofia fashion though, and because our group is like that, we tpd away and landed at new to me YunA’s. I love the hair there, it has such potential as a great store for interesting styles, especially if they keep on doing big hair.
Periquita always has such fun shoes, and with the new way of them all being colourchange, it allows for such easy mix and matching to your outfits. There are contrast options as well in some of the styles, allowing for even better colour combination looks…I really like the mix of the unusual with the traditional.

blog – Harvest
Doing a bit of a studio/location mix today, yes I do get out and about for most of the day, but I tend to save all my pic taking for at home. I wanted to go back to a brandish newish build today though, to pretty much just revisit it.
Pixel Mode just recently rebuilt the whole sim, and gone are the modern conveniences and stylish builds of before, now in its place is an incredible plantation I guess you would call it, or in fact a homestead that is a full estate lol.
I wanted to feature some of the clothing from Doppelganger, and as it is all very down to earth clothing, this was the perfect backdrop, well I kind of cheated with one pic at The Deck, but I changed shoes and felt a bit odd about taking pics for a blog post in another stores shoes; at a sim owned by a shoe store…I over think things I know, but it just felt more respectful to move.
I love overalls, they are just fun, and if you watch Ugly Betty …then last weeks episode would have had you chuckling …The Woodcutters Overalls are just fun and very comfy. I really like the style of them, not your regular bib look overalls. Teamed up with the Henley shirts also from Doppelganger, I was in business to um harvest something maybe ? Ok how about just look fabulous on a porch :P.
I finally found the hair I love that Athena wears in her ads for Miseria lol. I could have just asked her, but I actually thought I had it and/or that I knew where it was from. I just kept forgetting to look. So today I stumbled into it with Sofia and Whimsy and snapped it up. I love the stores at that sim so much, which is funny because I have been there about five times in the past month, and never went downstairs.
Wearing with it a lovely long dress, I love this style, in RL it was a big fad for a while to unbutton the dress from the bottom and wear lots of layered cheesecloth style skirts underneath, or pants…tieing a knot in both sides to keep it open…very Tree of Life circa 93′.
The last dress is a pretty day dress, more of a frock really for sure. Sculpted skirt parts make it a bit fiddly depending on your AO, but such a pretty dress that it is worth investing in some stands that limit hip movement…and always good to have anyway.
The Skin I am wearing is from Glance, it is part of their 2010 secret sale, many stores are involved in that, you will see signs at the stores with info…an item or two or three at each store is marked down to 50L you just need to find it, and I just let you know part of it at least, but there is another, so look for two. It is really pretty, and the make up is great for this time of year. I love the full glossy lips and expressive eyes. The body is also YUM, so check them out… you may have noticed that Dango Jewell did their art posters recently and WOW they are incredible.

blog – Panda Love
Yesterday was one of those days, you know when exploring can take hours upon hours. Yesterday Fiachra and I went to check out a store or two, and it always delights me, that when we are together, it doesn’t matter what is actually on show, we find so much more in the smallest of things.
It was exactly like that, from store to store, taking delight in the creativity of others, and not your usual items, just silly things really. We hopped a few sims, and I swear we were gone for hours, it was awesome. One or two things I had to pick up along the way, and just wanted to share one with you , as I tend to put these sorts of things in my ‘to blog’ folders, and then step over them for months and months, because I push other things to the front, well this time this is going up first.
I actually almost walked out of the store and missed it entirely, funny thing is that no matter how often I have told Fia he secretly wants to be a panda – he is a giant dragon – it is usually me that ends up one. This Panda Hoodie set, is like so much fun, it made me feel like I had spent the day at the zoo with a great friend or family member by the time I got back to The Deck, the only thing missing was the belly ache lol.
Not only is the sporty hoodie nicely made, but the hood up with panda ears and all is so cute, and down with the mini panda poking out is adorable, and not only do you get the lovely chewing bamboo leaves , but also two panda dolls to hug, or share as they are transfer, but the clothing pieces aren’t…mixed perms on this one.
The Tush jeans from Stellar were the perfect accompaniment to this look, a heart on one cheek shows the love for pandas all should have lol. They are great three quarter pants, in soft worn denim, and a variety of colours. Great for days spent with bestest friends .

blog – Elvish has left the building
If you had to travel around the whole world in a night, you would need some motivation to get yourself home fast. Now there has always been talk of a Mrs Claus, but who is to say that she wasn’t some sexy elf to begin with, and I tell you what, if she looks as good as the New Elf skins, then no wonder he is Jolly.
Such beautiful changes to the NEW Gala skins, the nose is pert and mischievous, the mouth is definitely bow shaped and kissable…and the eyebrows are a lighter more refined shape. The overall body, and the way the skins are packaged is as usual, beautiful make ups in two variations to choose from, with dark and light options, and freckles.
I know I am a bit early, and definitely so for us down here, stifling hot as it is. But I just couldn’t resist showing off my new boots, I already have these in the regular version, and have blogged them in the past. But seeing these as almost lick worthy Christmas themed boots, I just had to have them, and they are an awesome price on xstreet too.
I always knew I was going to have a need for the Elf hair, and today was totally that day. Another perfect time for the gorgeous velvet dress by Fishy Strawberry, I love this dress…in all the colours it comes in it is fabulous, but most definitely the red will see you through this coming festive season.
While I was on my VR Professional Stand, which is often the case…a notice came down from FAKE and WOWZA what a skirt…I tpd over and had to grab the lime and black option, it is seriously a skirt MUST HAVE. The styling and use of sculpties and prims is genius, the effect of the back is like wearing tuxedo tails, it is just divine.
Equally divine are the newest Kalnins release, the Orchid shoes are as usual perfectly fun to coordinate to your look via the hud, the tinting of skins is easyish, sometimes depending on the skin it is killer easy, sometimes a little harder, but all the more reason to buy lots of skins in lots of tones, so you can match the skin to your feet, instead of vice versa lol.
Ashia and Sofia decided that I needed to look more relaxed in the eyes department (stoned) being as I had always had my eyes, and such catering to work rather than play or whatever, I didn’t really mind, more closed only no changes to actual size. I am not sure how I will do with it though , doesn’t feel like me yet, I kind of liked having my eyes open rather than squinting. Seeing as I am usually online in the early hours of the am, so I tended to convince myself I was more awake than I was lol.

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 – Edge
A girl in in group chat said something along the lines of ‘ I don’t think plaid can be fashion’, I definitely disagreed and the conversation steered elsewhere for a while. Plaid and tartan consistently over my years being alive, have come and gone, when I was a toddler it was all red tartan, from skirts to peter pan collars, to the lining on trenchcoats. I am not just talking me, even though I did love my little red plaid skirt.
Mid to late 70’s again it reared up and was in more muted tones this time, plaid and tartan prints on greys and navy’s. Dress pants and mid length skirts, definitely crossing over into an older and more mature dressed look. Back and forth it goes, again rising up mid 80’s with the Punk/Rude looks with black bomber jackets , shaved heads and red plaid pants or skirts. Both the men and the women this time.
I wore blue tartan all through highschool, and in Australia where we wear uniforms, plaid and tartan is everywhere in our school system.
I had plaid/tartan stockings in the 90’s, and the burberry look came back in full swing in the end of the 90’s and begining of the naughties. Suddenly there was Burberry and Plaid, with mixes of different tartans all over the place, from luggage to purses – loves my Burberry purse – to scarfs , hats, and clothing. My purse is real, my scarfs are just regular but so adorable in baby pinks and blues.
Even this time of the year is Tartan filled, from ribbons and decorations, to traditional clothing that brings Christmas and well wishes to all, it is not just Fashion it is the return of an old friend. Whether you wear vintage or new, plaid and tartan will always be what you want it to be…a hint of it, or a full covering, it takes a definite flair to carry it off well. Don’t go overboard of course, but “Own it ” if you are going to bother.
I was cleaning up some folders and came across some items I hadn’t blogged until today, the hat/hair dreads are just wicked cool, I love not only the cowboy hat with the skully of doom lol, but the dreads give it a whole different dimension. Also different are these wicked cool boots, the ones with the ring between heel and base of the boot, now of course in RL I would fall over and break a limb in these, but in SL I danced away some hours this morning while Maht was doing his 26 hours for Charity.
Second pair of boots are from the Footwear Expo and they are so cute, they remind me of wellies but with heels, which is kind of a funny thing in my house, everytime my Mum returns from the UK she brings back Wellies, yet we do not have the weather or a farm. Mind you the most recent pair were bright red, so I can’t say I blame her, and these boots remind me of that look, so for winter and snow these are definitely the go, and with the colour change hud, so much fun.

blog – Windy Days
I love those days, when you start the day off just like any normal day, but then it takes so many dips and turns and becomes a day of blessings and pure joy. I am a hair addict, I am…truly. There are days when I could just sit in a corner and cry because I don’t get a good enough fix. No matter how many hairstyles I buy, there can be times none of them quench that burning desire for ‘The One” and believe me, I am not that picky, so I have had thousands of ‘Ones” in my time in Second Life.
Hell the first time I ever went to Magika, I walked out a few hours later with 19 ‘The Ones”. Those are the fun days, the days when you can hit the motherload, and every style you put on is just scrumptious, you think you will never ever take it off, until the next ‘the one’ that is two vendors over on the right lol.
Todays though was in the form of the 50L Friday style, I have to admit that I had looked at this style in the past and it hadn’t really hit home for me, but I had never actually demo’d it, don’t know why though as I did think I had tried all of them in the store. Today though I considered my 50L purchase my demo, and WOW I couldn’t love it more, at least every 30 mins for a few hours I mentioned how much I loved it, how much I needed it in other colours, and wondered if it was just that texture combo I loved and would it carry over if I got greedy.
Well I did get greedy, and it did carry over, aren’t you as relieved as I am . Always a hat/hair addict as well, this style is just fantabulous. Everything about Clawtooth by Clawtooth hair has that effect on me though, it is Lady hair. If you are one, or aspire to being one, Bubbles can make you feel like a true woman of a time when Men were Men and Women were Ladies. When the way you turned your head and exposed a sliver of neck could send a man wild. A time when the only make up decisions you needed to make, were which red your lipstick would be that day, and how many coats of mascara was enough.
Ok I am not that old, but I can dream. I grew up in the 70’s so all of our saturday movies were Doris Day, Dean Martin and Rock Hudson type films, Marilyn Monroe and James Dean…what a time to live. It is those times when getting ready to go out could take the better part of a full day, because primping and pampering your self was well deserved…ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh.
Did I mention I LOVE HAIR.
Moving on to other loves, snuggly loves that is. The First pic – technically the second – is featuring a few items of snugglyness. First The Cashmere sweaters that come on every layer possible, and are fantastic for layered looks. The turtleneck style is lovely, and so graceful with the pants that are just newly released today.
I cheated a bit with the two tone sweater look you see under the jacket, that is actually a nipply crop top, layered over The Cashmere sweater, see how fun layers make life. The Nordic Knit Coat is so many degrees of snuggly. This knit in itself is a MUST HAVE, it is so traditional for this time of year, and stands out as something that those of us that don’t get the weather for them, pine for. I love that you can wear it as a cropped jacket, or it’s full length, and the swing design of it, allows for all sorts of sizes within it’s snuggly folds.
Another era inspired item is Hounds-tooth, the print itself is very old, and in Australia, synonymous with style and high end spending. Recently I had the pleasure of sitting in on a Fabulous Fashion taping, and the designer behind the Musashi Do brand was its guest. Shiryu explained how he always makes his own prints and textiles for his creations, and with hounds-tooth that is a very detailed task. Well he came out the other side very well, and the jacket he has created with this print is just lovely.
The long trench coat style has a fitted flat or more flared coat bottom, a stunning contrast lapel, and cuffs that allow for cuffs to your undershirts to sit neatly under. All of the coat has been created beautifully to wear as a finished look, and it does have such a wonderful finish to it.
The Elsa boots are another item that I instantly fell for, the style of boot is definitely something I love the looks of, the front of the boots are just that comfortable boot you hope never wear out, with the upper portion being a legwarmer type look that is texture change on click, the added peak of a banana heel has them right up there with my favourites for the Footwear Expo.

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.
