Pom Pom
While I write this Marni Grut is getting ready for her opening of Royal Blue, a reopening actually, as she has been spending time upping her craft to make a bigger and better brand. Marni just loves it when I get in her IM, it always means extra work lol. Today was no exception but well worth it for all, as the new coats she is releasing now have a with spikes and shoulderpads option, and a without, meaning when you aren’t so GaGa you can do your own thing.
She is doing a blend of both out there and for all occassions wear, which is perfect for those customers who are loyal to a brand/designer. The zipper tank was a pleasant surprise, not only featuring a zipper front, but the low back with zipper is a great look, and very frisky. Marni has also made some wonderful Jeans, that come in great denim colours and have a lovely worn in already look about them, without being too rough around the edges.
I am wearing the film crew tshirts from Fri.day with the jeans on the bottom, these tshirts with their old movies theme are so cute. I especially like the rolled sleeves look at the shoulders, a bit more fun than your regular tshirt, and they also look well worn in. The hair I am wearing is new from Exile in the two two pics, the first being a glorious backcombed side pony, the backcombing giving a stunning beehive look at the crown…very hot for this season. The second a shaggy mane of layers, totally loviong the softness of this hair, its wild and yet not overly so.
The fri.day styles are pretty and as always both elegant and wearable, Raina would make the perfect updo for a formal affair, but can be worn as simple and casual as with todays look. More shoes from the fair, the real toe wrap sandals from J’s are a great wedge style, with built in toes and an easy to use colour system. The regular pallet that J’s uses for his leather has been used again for these, and I personally love the colours that he uses, they seem to fit just about everything.
Another pair from the fair, this time from NCore, are the Seduction shoes, these shoes have so many options that buying a safe base colour still gives you tonnes of possibilities. The laces, and heels have different colour options, so do the soles the inners and the heel tips and rings. With fun prints for the nails and options for gloss or not, which is the equivelant of shiny. they are sexy and definitely well named.

Bomb Diggity
I am listening to The Veronica’s and at my age, having been such a die hard Archie Comic fan, I cannot help but always question the name. It happens all the time, same if someone called themselves The Betty’s I would wonder what kind of women they believe themselves to be. Overthinking it all I am so sure, but until there is a jugheads to laugh at, this is what I will continue to do.
It is funny though don’t you think, how much of our childhood ends up being what melts our brains as adults. I remember once having a screaming row with an ex flatmate about golden books, because she was being taught at some childcare school, that they were bad for children, and yet, we were raised on them fine. There are also these weird so called ‘complex’s’ or maybe I am wrong with the label, but something to do with Cinderella, and how women always want to live happily ever after, but because you never know, what actually happened it has effected how women go on with relationships as adults – is your brain melting yet ? – seriously though I remember seeing in the last few years that they did a Cinderella TWO and I went OMG what will all the shrinks blame stuff on now?
So yesterday Whimsy was probing my flickr and blog, looking for a skirt we both have, she couldn’t remember the name of it, and she decided that while she was there, she would leave random comments. So today when checking my flickr I came across one and thought damn I love that skin. Mind you I saw that about nearly every skin you ever see me in, and I do, I cannot help it, I either love it on myself and cannot help but cam on me all day while wearing it – you know you do that too – or else I love what the skin is, as a whole, not just on me, but the whole concept of it. There are even skins that don’t look great on me that I love.
Anywho, so I decided to pull it out, and wear it again. Often I don’t get to do that, which I guess gets confusing, but don’t ever doubt my passion for an item. Sometimes I get all stressed out that I show so many different skins in a short time, and that you may think I don’t really like any of them, just blog them, never ever the case, but I do want you to see skins as soon as I can show them, and often I do feel like I should stretch out the skins over a few posts, and you do see that I do that, but then I could end up so behind…also I stress that the creator will think I didn’t like them – lol blogging can give you an ulcer for reals.
Shoe fair is still going on, for a few more days, and I got so caught up with Hair Fair that I didn’t get to do as many shoe posts as I would have liked to…Dear Phoenix, don’t do shoe fair so close to hair fair next year 😛 . I also know that Jewelry fair is shortly after hair fair also, so stay tuned for that as well.
The shoes I have on for this post are created by Miel, and if you got the recent 50L friday bag they did, you will realise they are similar in texture, so totally rocking for nights out, and clubwear, with their dazzling glittery look. They are open toed and have sensational shaped soles, with texture change as usual, with great colours for dressing up and clubbing the night away. I love when Miel does flf because they always put their stuff at The Deck too, so I just have to jump downstairs and grab the goodies. This weeks is this gorgeous necklace I have on in the first pic, do not miss out on it, their jewelry is off the hook yum.
Recently Berries Inc released the Bomb Dress in solid colours, which was a big yay from over here, as Whimsy and I had been discussing the need for it that way, a great dress in the striped version already, but solids makes it even sexier for night wear. Just as sexy is the Mel dress, which I have worn before during my purple week lol, so it gets a revisit in the grey.
The two ponytails are by Amacci, and are some of their latest hairstyles, and are just wonderful especially with her hair base tattoos underneath to just add a bit more realism to the look, I love those tattoos so much.

Park your Particle Here
So the other week I was standing around and Fiachra tp’d in looking all dolled up, which for a boy just means new clothes. So he told me that he had found a new to him store that he thought I would like, and sent me the LM. Of course I didn’t have a chance to go visit until today he asked if I had, and off we went. Now the store is mainly catering to femme boys, and that rocks in and by itself. You will definitely find some unisexy or even girly girl gear there, and make sure you check out the tote bags, because one is just sparkly must have. Now the bottoms of my outfits are from left to right, Fri.day, LeLutka and League, but it is the tops that are from A.S.S – minus the bikini tops underneath from Luck Inc and Adam n Eve.
The clothing at A:S:S is fun and imaginitive, and the store also has skins, so if you have been looking for a femme boy skin, then you know where to head to. Showing off the latest creation by the talented Marni Grut of Royal Blue, these are at shoe fair, and are fun and funky, totally in keeping with the style of today. Also at shoe fair and just as fun are the Scribble ballet wraps that come on clothing or tat layers.
These remind me so much of one of Radio’s art pieces I purchased from her gallery that for me they are a must have. As I am writing this post, Whimsy, Fiachra and I are at the Particle Lab, it seems – shocking to me – that Whimsy in all her years in Second Life had never been, so we had to be sure to fix that. The particle lab has taught so many incredible creators their skills, and it is so good to see it still exists this many years on.
There is also a room at Cloud Chateau, which you can ride a balloon to, where there are like particle shows, and its just amazing to sit and listen to the stream and watch. Anyway, have an outstanding day all, and explore places you may take for granted, because someone you know may have never been. Click HERE to SLURL’s Page. Picture :

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

Ain’t no Shoe Pony
So last night Whimsy and I were out and about doing our thing, when we decided that we were going to pick one store, and use the same item in a post. We got so excited that we even went to the store and ran around falling in love with everything all over again. Whimsy fell in love with the displays in the store, and they were/are adorable, but I was so overly impressed by the whole new and improved build – as I had not yet seen it, and it is lovely.
So we ran home and jumped on our VR Studios and decided on the Mete as our shared item from Nyte n Day, I have shown it before as it’s own set, but today decided to take the main piece which is the beautiful tube top and work it in with some other Nyte n Day as well as designs from others. Nyte n Day has an incredible assortment of versatile separates, as well as complete sets, all at incredibly affordable prices. So mixing and matching is a breeze. Now during all of this of course Whimsy crashed hard core, and so much so that she didn’t return, I stood and waited, posing with the DARE poses of awesome but no Whimsy *pouts.
Finally she came back today, and of course while I was head down bum up in Group invites for Hair Fair, she took her pics, and now we are writing at the same time. I am yet to see hers, but know it will be full of win as usual. You can see her post, if you haven’t already, over at Virtually Dressed. The hair I am wearing is Hepburn a new style by LeLutka, how cute is it, such an adorable little ponytail, almost Gidget like as well, the ribbon tie is colour change on click, and a lovely natural look.
The Shoe Fair is still going strong, and another fabulous release at the fair are the Mieke boots by SLink. These riding boots are amazing, the leather work and just overall style is perfect for those that love equestrian pursuits. I know that Justice a good friend has been looking for a true riding boot for a long time, so she will be stoked I am sure. Make sure you gallop on over to shoe fair 🙂

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

Enjoy the strut
Holy Toledo – wonders if Toledo is more Holy than the rest of the U.S? anywho, so new hair is coming, and I have been chomping at the bit about it for weeks now. I wonder if you can guess who’s hair it is just by looking? and OMG Shoe Fair is just around the corner and right now I should be over there drooling, but I spent so long taking all these pics today, I totally lost track of the time. So much so that I got the dates wrong in my head.
Some not all the shoes in todays post are new, newish and older. First two are newish with the Wonder Shoes by Kalnins, again with just the colours I needed for my post. These give the oppurtunity for all one colour straps or two tone, which works really well. Also included is black, which if memory serves me well I have never used on Kalnins in the past.
I would have to bet that many would agree,that Roslin teaching herself to make clothes in the past year was a much needed thing for our inventories. Especially as she has such a girly girl creative flow, it really does up the prettyness all over. The use of vintagey prints and soft fabrics, her dresses and swimsuits which I really really wish she would turn into a micro mini, are just beautiful, the swimsuit to me would also serve really well as a brushed velvet bodysuit, depending on what you did with it.
Are you in lust with the hair yet? the first three styles are Amanda 1, 2 and 3. If you haven’t guessed already, all of the hair today is LeLutka and about to be released shortly, hopefully tomorrow so you don’t kill me. Thora has been doing a reworking of how she does hair lately and the work has paid off, the styles are soft when needed and perfect for picture taking when the style is created for effect more than motion. That is what has always been so stand out about LeLutka hair, the tendency to lean both ways, working not only for the photographers hiding in us all, but also for those that just want wearable beautiful hair.
At last years Shoe Fair the very first store off the TP point for me was Ana Mations, and the items that jumped right out and grabbed me were the rollerskates. I remember a few familiar faces all piled into the store that night, and I spent the rest of my time rollerskating around.
Now even though Anamations is an animations store, the skates do have their own tricks etc, but I went with the poses from aDORKable, who also have some great poses available at the fair this year. The chance to have such fun again came about because of the recent release of the roller rompers by BOOM. How fantastically 70’s are they, with of course a more modern twist, that being less fabric across the bum lol. Also from BOOM are the very cool tube socks and the rasta coloured sweat bands, to make it even more realistic I should have worn the sweat from Luck Inc, but I am saving that for another time.
This project theomary about to take place is Beach Bash, and BOOM has released the pretty bikini set for the event, not only do you get the string versions but also the halter and fuller bottoms….but wait there is more, you also get all of them available on Tattoo layers. Talk about above and beyond layering wise, and with the new added layers options that is just tooo cool.
If I was playing Family Feud and the question was ‘things you do in a sexy bikini’ I am so sure Hula Hooping would come up. So on that note the recent Hula Hooping Poses by !Bang worked out just right. For this set you get the pose and the prop – hoop – that has a texture change script built in, so that was handy to match up to my kini. Also matchy matchy due to the fabulous minds and scripterroos of SL, the latest Espadrilles by GOS are awesome. I really am happy that not only can you change the colours of the shoes with the menus once you add the new texture pack thing, but you can also change in parts, so rather than go all teal or all sand, I was able to mix and match. Of course espadrilles are a must have for summer, and these ones are fab.
Lastly a little bit mixy matchy with the Luck Inc and BOOM. The bags are great, fantastic texture options, with scripts to change the handles and my favourite part is scripted to change size, now I prefer mod, but if no mod then this is wonderful for bags, because sometimes you want a huge oversized, and other times maybe just a carryon. The hair in this pic is Lake, gorgeous do, and so incredibly spot on if you know the inspriation. A lot of the new LeLutka hairstyles have been inspired by amazing women of the silver screen. Veronica Lake is of course the inspiration for this one, and I think personally Thora nailed it.
The Enya boots by Kookie are the latest release at Shoe Fair, and they are wicked clompy. I almost went stormtrooper with them. But decided to keep going where I was headed as they worked that way too. Next time I will have to kick some bum with them on.
The skin I am wearing is from Sn@tch and for the next few days they are having a huge sale, which includes the gorgeous skins. I had to get the pack of these, and the make ups are just stunning. As you will notice on the right I am a different tone, that is due to Luck Inc’s skin burner. I thought I had seen it all when it came to enhancements but this one takes the cake. Only 1L in the Main store, this is a tattoo layer only and you wear it over your skin and voila new tone. For those that love a darker tone, this is a major bonus, and will probably save people a fortune.
Have a great weekend everyone, and do not forget Shoe Fair starts tomorrow.

It isn’t beans on toast but equally yummy
I saw the release notice and squeeled, then later that night when I was able to off I went dragging Newdoll along with me.While we were there trying on demos, we were nattering away about different things, Hair Fair and upcoming events, such as Shoe Fair. It is an incredible amount of charity work that is done by Second Life residents each year, truly amazing, and yet we never seem to get the press for it ? why is that I wonder? not sensational enough maybe?
Then we tpd back to The Deck, and I gave Newdolly a crash course in Kirstens Viewer, it is a bit less daunting than the regular 2.1 in so much as you are able to get rid of that sidebar if you wish, or only open your inventory as usual. I prefer it because it gives shadows of perfection, due to Kirsten taking the time to develop for ATI cards. The most recent upgrade has also included the amazing new layer options. Which I was meant to go into the other night, and truly forgot to explain that was what I was using to allow me to have two tattoo’s on at the same time, which until 2.1 regular and Kirstens you could not do.
But it doesn’t stop with tattoo’s, you are able to now add up to 5 different options on the same layer. Now it is getting tricky, and you have to unlearn everything you have trained in wearing clothes up until now lol. With the new system it is a return to dressing as we do in RL not SL. Think in terms of layering RL, you cannot put on layers that go under, after the fact. Also there are two dressing options, wear or add. Wear is as usual the one that just replaces what you already have on, with new.
So lets work on an example. You have a shirt you like to wear untucked, that is made on either the jacket layer, or extended using the pants layer. You would love to wear it with your favourite pants but they only come on the pants layer, and you really want to wear a jacket as well. So the way the older viewers work you couldn’t. Now though, you would wear the favourite pants first, then ADD the pants layer extender of the shirt, then the top of the shirt on the shirt layer, and lastly put on a jacket.
I hope that makes sense. Anyway just remember if you want to wear another item of the same layer type use the add option not wear, and do them in the order from inside out.
Now back to the squeeling, the hairbase tattoos and hairknot buns I have on are all from Amacci and my goodness they are fabulous. These do not include the brows, but with over 40 colours to choose from, or like me grab the whole pack – the price is awesome – you will be set for hairbases for life. The buns are elegeant and full, and the hair line is just gorgeous and will go with so many other stores hair textures too
As soon as I put on the white one, I knew what skin I wanted to feature with it, the perfect ivory tone and lighter than light brows in the Hope skin by Tuli. The blue make up too was just perfect to show the first of the lovely Joelle dresses, I knew what kind of style I wanted to wear for the look, and knew just were to go to get it. SySy Designs has such a lovely collection of dresses from casual/dressy daywear like this one, to high voltage evening wear. I think though that for a while at least, the Joelle will be one of my favourite SySy designs.
I continued with other skins by Tuli, just for the range in tones and looks, all complimenting the gorgeous hairbases. I would love if Carina would do a fantasy coloured pack in the bases too, because I really really wanted to see them in other colours lol.
Have an awesome day/night…

First off Happy Rezday Cajsa Lilliehook of It’s Only Fashion.
What a week, it has been ages since I did a post. This week I moved, not far. Then I got cable installed, yay for more power, but that came at a price because the day after my pc went kaputski. You have never seen anyone move as fast as me in this situation, I was on the phone to Mel asking him to log onto Officeworks lol, and tell me what PC I needed for all the things I do. Then in a cab and back home all in just over an hour. With a brand new pc lol. It is so delish, but it is kind of freaking me out too, it makes way more noises than my old one, not the machine, but like when I click on things, or go to do something. It has windows 7 and that just makes everything seem shinier.
I am totally focusing on the plus side though, like seriously I have lost 3 years of work on my old one, everything from PS in layers, all my logos, HF work for all three years. All my textures for The Deck for the builds and so on… serves me right for thinking I could make stuff, even all my new house textures and sculpties are gone. So today, to cheer myself up I bought a kit off Xstreet, and then changed it so much that I don’t even remember what it looked like to begin with lol. For some reason I work better that way, I can’t start from scratch in most things, but I can mod until it’s own mummy wouldn’t recognise it.
Even funnier still, to me. I made lipsticks for todays skins and it ended up costing me a million lindens – exagerating – and then I realised that they will only ever suit this skin, so I will have to make new ones all over again for others. It’s all learning, so no harm no foul. I have actually put them at Flair @ The Deck for free for a while, on the walkway in a blue box, so stop by and pick them up if you have the same skin. Remember though they are tattoo’s so will only work with viewers that let you wear them.
Anyway moving on, so I am wearing the Mima skin by LAQ and she is an asian beauty for sure. I was so excited to be able to also get my hands on the latest hairbase and eyebrow tattoos you can buy seperately from LAQ and I just had to, had to get the red and the blonde. I have been loving the red hair base and brows the most with Mima, the blend of eurasian – on my shape – and red hair is just awesome. It also gave me an excuse to buy some more hairbase styled hairs.
The two pic pics are me in 2 of the lipsticks I made today, so you have to look at the montage pics to see the real make ups as they are, and truly they do not need lipstick to enhance them, they are just divine. All of the Jewelry I am wearing today is from Puarangi by Hibiscus Flossberg, the first set is so neat, not only is it really pretty, but you get to choose the gemstones you want, and there is a great selection to choose from. I couldn’t resist showing that sometimes I can really rock the purple, plus the other day Whimsy tried to demand another purple week from me, so this is what she gets :P.
The ruffle rompers are from Aoharu, as are the fantastic western boots and fringe sandals, incredibly crafted, with resizer scripts. After you get them to fit you though, be sure to delete the scripts, because with that many prims they wont let you tp too easily. The rompers are so frilly and pretty, in long or short options and the tops are so easy to wear with many other items of clothing. Not only are there fabulous solids like these ones, but also some amazing prints. I was wearing the fish ones all week and of course lost those pics on the other pc.
All of the poses used in todays pics are by SLC Body Language, they have a great new AO and poseset released this week, and as usual they are all fabulous to use. So make sure you check them out in the display stands in the store.
I have a new friend, he is in beta at the moment, and is about to come with me to Cajsa’s Rezday Party. His name is Chip, and he is a Jester Bot by Jester Jyraffe. Jester J’s store is full of the most fun toys and items to wear and decorate with. You will find his store at the Deck so make sure you visit for the fun stuff, and look out for the robot, he is way too funna.

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