Hat Hair makes the world go around
Hat Hair makes the world go around, the world go around *Sings* I am so loving all the hat/hair at the fair, OH MY GOODNESS it makes me happy…not only does it mean not having to search high and low for fab hats, but not having to edit hair to match said hats makes it even more wickedly awesome.
No exception in the YUM is Berries Inc’s release at the fair, not one, not two but FOUR stunners for my wardrobe, and with winter coming up soon for fashion trends, these are going to be worn so often I am mucho excited. They also have click colour change pieces, so you can mix looks beautifully.
Making some wintery inspired looks a little early, The first is the great pea coat dress from Scribble, they come in all sorts of great colours, and options, all of the wintery goods there are just gorgeous. I have an olive gold combo thing going on, which wsa so easy with all the pieces from different designers, all inspired by not only the hat, but also the latest shoes from G’Field, not only do they come in solids, but the trim and buckles have colour change options, so coordinating options are effortless.

Candy Candy Candy I can’t let you go
I remember when I was a teen flapping at an all floral outfit my mum was about to wear out. Mind you when I was that age I only ever wore black. But the flapping was more to do with the fact that the outfit was neck to wrist, and then to ankle floral. It was so bad, there were all sorts of whiney noises made about it, so she did end up changing. It wasn’t the print that was the problem, it was HOW MUCH print. It was also a full skirt, so yeah way too much. I convinced her to do a full skirt in solid and then the top, or vice versa, but not both together, and that is how she ended up working that outfit from then on.
The funniest part of that memory is that my fashion sense comes from her, but that day I think she lost her marbles…that and the fact that it was the 80’s and fashion for the 40 somethings then, was a little hit and miss. This floral print if that large and long would need to be broken up as well, but as it is a mini, the bright colours and fun style, make it perfect for summer lunches and fun days in the sun.
I got to have fun with this floral mini by DeLa because it is mod, and had enough attachments to make it really workable with other things. The top pic, plus the sleeves of the second pic are the total outfit. But shown three different ways in the pics, and the last I took an undershirt layer and shortened the top enough to make a bustier type top with just one of the attachments. As the top comes on all layers, and is copy, this was a breeze and doesn’t effect the overall outfit at all. It is great to get so many options out of one outfit, and as the colours available are so flexible, you are not starved for choice.
Also new by DeLa is the beautiful folded leather DuDu clutch. This clutch is totally the type of purse/wallet that I would use all year round, the multiple zips on the outside just make it so realistic looking, and the purse comes with attachments for either hand. I did move that to forearm so that I could still wear my nails by Page 3. Addictia to my delight released more of the Tropica Flip Flops (THONGS) in neutral colours that make them easier to mix and match with other clothing. The HUD is so easy to use, and colour matching to skin is a breeze. I love how you can also wear them only as feet with or without the anklets, all in one is a definite win with these.
The hair I am featuring in all the pics today is from Exile, recently I was lucky to spend some one on one time with Kavar interviewing him for TOO Sexy magazine. The styles he has been producing lately are just getting harder and harder to take off, the three today are just gorgeous and April the last one is still on my head because it is HOT HOT HOT.
PXL just released the latest skin Candy, it comes in 5 different tones, only one shown here today – more to come – there are 3 brow options and a great range of lips and eye shadows, all with freckles and cleavage on clothing or tattoo layers. I am so glad also that PXL eventually went shaved, as that skirt in the 3rd pic is so low at the front it would be a huge Fashion Don’t otherwise lol. DEMO DEMO DEMO Candy, she is a lovely skin.

Date Night
Wow the weekend flew past, I don’t even know what we did, I know I turned SL 4 that’s about it. I do know though that I introduced Whimsy to the dark side, now that she has a WoW account we have been killing things and such, and to find her now I have to go looking there. I have also been reading a lot more lately, and a lot of what I read is total rubbish, I am the first to admit it. But I enjoy it and that is the main thing.
I am looking forward to this weekend though, as it will be our celebration of The Deck being around for just over a year, and many of the designers that have stores there are going to be giving gifts over the weekend, so I will enjoy getting to see many people come back and revisit The Deck…it is amazing how fast the year has gone. I also cannot wait to see what will be given as gifts, it will be like birthday pressies for everyone, so exciting.
The Larin skirt by Zaara is so beautiful, it isn’t just because of it’s highwaistedness, or the beautiful textures, but more so to do with the incredible workmanship of the prims. The creating of proper draped looking alpha textures; without losing to alpha glimmers, or any of the other things that limit the true beauty of SL creation. The prim work is so smooth and fits to the contour of the body seamlessly, I haven’t had to resize or edit in anyway and yet can barely even see where the skirt meets the glitch pants.
What I think is an absolute shame though, is that the Larin belt and cinch part of the skirt are not separate… I think that personally the texture of that part of the skirt is wonderful, and it is such a shame to be not able to wear it over other items. I wish Zaara would get those files out, erase all that is not the cinched part and make it in many more colours on all layers, I think that could even liven up the skirts for many that wore them to death on release, there are print ones that if the upper portion was in the colours of the pattern may make an interesting combo…or even if the thin belts on the same bases were different, imagine the ivory skirt with a red belt or turquoise and so on, MORE BELTS please Zaara .
I went with three different looks, these for me are perfect early evening to wherever the night takes you looks. Something that you feel comfortable in, but extremely feminine and stylish. The perfect Date night look.
Recently Whippet & Buck (gosh I love that store) had out some bustiers in solids, that previously had been print only…they were part of the 50L friday, but if they are out now as a regular priced item and you didn’t get them, go get them now, well worth it. They make the perfect balance for extending a look like this one, into a dressier look, or as a modesty covering such as in the second pic.
I adore the Ontible dress from Le Lutka and this is the first time I have actually worn it with the sleeves, as previously after release I never did. Looking back HERE I realise I have never worn it the way it comes in the box lol. Loving layers, wearing the bustier from W&B with the shirt layer of the actual Ontibile dress that just tucks up under the breasts, and still having the room for the jacket layer of the skirt, that is total win.
I hope you have been noticing my beautiful new skin, this is the latest release from UnBra. Mayara is a gorgeous skin with not one, not two but FOUR cleavage options. This skin goes all out on accomodating the needs of all. With the beautiful body work, and I am totally happy that there are different cleavages, but also hair bases, and as far as going all out to show you the major details of the product there is included an image showing the RGB value of the skins, not only does this benefit for shoes, but also when tinting gloves for nails.
There are enough make ups in this skin line to please everyone, actually I could do with about twenty or so more, but it definitely covers from day to night and a little bit of fantasy thrown in for good measure.
The poses are the new poses from /Geez by Grazia Horwitz, she recently reopened her pose store during pose fair, and has been creating poses for men and women ever since, so make sure you check it out.
Now speaking of tinting feet, Maitreya has recently updated their Shanti and Esprit -XTD shoes, so if you go to the redelivery terminals in their Maitreya Gold store you can press the machine and get the updated versions. The updates have less scripts and more win, with the fat pack version having an all in one click-able pair that is great for fast changing, as well as V2.0 options getting rid of the invisi prim look.
Further updates will follow, but make sure you get your Shanti and Esprit XTD as soon as you can.

blog – Boom
Wow so I had all of this waiting to publish on friday your time, and I was so ahead of myself that I went to catch up on some sleep. Five days later I am back, yay for internet outtages, I seriously was losing my mind, there is so much that we take for granted with our computers, I thought oh well at least I can do some other work, but everything I have is bundled up online, it was true torture.
Since I was gone though Cajsa Lilliehook a fabulous blogger, and an incredibly warm and passionate woman did a bloggers challenge and included me as part of it, I am so proud and so honored to have someone that I admire write such beautiful things about me. I was over thinking SL while I was absent, and overwhelmed on my return, five days and many many pages of offlines in email can do that. But to come back to something so lovely, I will cherish it, thank you Cajsa <3.
When you have your bestest friends, it never matters about having the same things. It can happen so randomly too, even without shopping together. One of my bestest friends and I went to different highschools, but of course school formal was around the same time – that’s your prom – I went shopping with my Mum hours away from where we lived, and she went shopping with her dad in town. Yet even with all that working against us, we ended up with the same gowns, mine black hers baby pink.
Growing up into young adulthood, it was never an issue, with my friends and I , we shopped together, got ready together, went home after a night out together – unless of course we ‘got’ together with other friends 😛 – and totally mixed and matched each others wardrobes…buying same thing in different colours just meant you were expanding your own wardrobe right?
Anyway I could totally see me and my bestest out on a friday night, going to some club in these dresses and having nada issues with it, because everyone looks at the shoes first right ? – that’s what my Mum always says, and it has proved true very often. I am wearing the New LeLutka hair, three new styles for everyday and night wear, something soft and slightly flexi, enough to have you wanting to make at the very least one of them your go to hair.
The skin I have on is the latest release from Amacci. Felicia is beautiful and again something you can all wear, so much so Whimsy, Ashia and I were all admiring it the other day. It has beautiful body work, with the most adorable snub nose. I especially like the lipstick as it has that worn look to it, more like you have been wearing it for a little longer than just freshly applied.

I may not be into bobsledding in a shopping trolley, or hanging out of the back of a car by my hair – ok I possibly made that one up, as I didn’t really ever watch the show. But I do think that if Johnny Knoxville was a chick, he would be such a Disco Diva.
This isn’t the first time I have been inspired to do the Johnny female version, and as long as people create hairstyles like this one, I will probably do more. This is a NEW NEW NEW release from HCT and I am so excited that my Boo is back making hair.
Signing up another store for What’s New SL I couldn’t not go back as me and grab some bits and pieces, one such item was this fabulous Glitter Dress by Onyx Wear. The accessories were a no brainer, especially starting with the Love/Hate rings from Addict, Kianna does such great accessories when you want to get your Funk On, and I never have to go far as she has a store here at The Deck lol.
If you have been looking for new sunglasses, definitely take a gander at Voyage by Kalnins, they have all the extras Kalnins are known for, different tints for the lenses, gold or silver frames, but the ability to change those in parts, if you want a bit of a mix. Some added glow and sparkle, and built in face lights, which you can thankfully turn off, it is just a shame the balls don’t go with them, because seriously rezzing (they are alpha I just mean when lagging ) with balls floating around my head is liable to get me beaten up in my group, and Mel will have a fit. We are definitely a no face lights group.
Other than all that, I love the style, they are pure knoxville circa Elvis fabulous. Ashia and I went and hit Plus hard last night, after a crashtacular visit to Fri.day for their sale, make sure you hit that. I love all the accessories at +Plus, and really hope she keeps making more…also if you are looking for shapes, she has a shapes store next door, and her put together ‘looks’ are really great.
I have wanted to bring out my harness for a while now, and the Zebra Slim 2.0 bodysuit was a perfect reason, SK Designs makes me happy, this combo came in different animal prints and wow the snake is hands down my fav, but snakes don’t wear harnesses that I know of :P.
This Harness is an oldie from LeLutka, Thora wanted to get everyone into Pony Play that season I just know it. Regardless of your kinks, this thing is just fun…for some reason when you split your face into parts with leather, it takes on a whole new dimension. You should see Newdoll and I swanning around in our VR Harness Gag’s by VR Foundry sometimes, it is a site I tell you, and funny as all get out, because we so cheat on the no talking thing.
The Envy boots by Magnifico are again featured at the Footwear Expo, and seriously if you haven’t tried the demo of these on yet, you need to get right on that. They are not only gorgeous front on, but the ruched sides are INCREDIBLE leather detailing , that must be seen…I even double taked when I saw them up close, really MUST HAVES. They do have an inbuilt clickable resize and ao function, with sounds, but all can be turned off thankfully.

blog – In the eye of the beholder
It is such an odd time of year for all the SALES that are going on…for me they will not really hit until after Christmas, because right now there will usually only be the enticing, spend your Christmas money with us, not our competitors…bargains.
One such SALE I went to the other night, had me kind of stunned at how quiet it was, but then again you can only own a whole store once, and so many have been die hard fans for so long, I was actually lucky in the fact that the items that were on sale were ones I didn’t have in all colours.
The Celestial Studios black friday sale, is actually on until the 4th as far as I know, and everything black is only 25L , so it was a bargain to pick up a few things I didn’t already have, and especially as I didn’t have the black version of all three of my favourite pairs of pants from there.
Anyways, moving on, I am showing mainly Beauty Avatar today, but I mixed everything up, to show the versatility of it all. I love mixing and matching, you wouldn’t know it to see me half the time, but that is rollover from constantly changing back to work clothes mid tp lol, it became a habit to not spend time to put together a proper ‘look’ to only be ripped back out of it.
I love the style of the pieces, they do make great backdrops for whole looks, as well as worn as they come. I really like the texture work, the actual style of and in some cases sheen. It isn’t always easy to put together a great fabric with a stylish concept, and these have gone hand in hand with eachother.
The other Beauty Avatar item I am wearing is the Daria skin, this skin is lip smackingly rawr worthy. Soft in all the right places, fit looking but without too much tone to the body shading. I really like the facial features on this skin, as well as the breathtaking lipstick and eyeshadows, but it truly is the high gloss of the lips that makes such an impression.
All the shoes that I am wearing are available at Footwear Expo 2009, there are only a few days left of this annual event, and as a percentage of money from each and every store there goes to help kids this Christmas, it really is worth it to take a look, and maybe pic up some shoes you may have wanted in the past, or something new.
Definitely make time to really explore Beauty Avatar, Whimsy and I helped a girl find a dress there last week or the week before, and you can really lose yourself in all the label has to offer. Take time also to check out the beautiful fountain in the courtyard between areas, it is a trunktacular creation.

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

Blog – Big Sur
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 – I want Candy
There are many things that trigger memories in RL , but in Second life it can be a tad different. Usually it has more to do with an actual item, a name or a location. I remember the first time I ever saw a release from this next creator, and tping over to the location of her store and really liking what I saw.
I had picked up a few different pieces, but like any plans I usually make, things just get in the way, and items get moved around, and well yeah, I suck for not having blogged A Piece of Candy enough in the past. I even know the exact item that dragged me over there, it was the set in the top picture the Birdie set, I don’t even know if it is still in the store, but as soon as I saw the pants and sweater I wanted it.
Feb 2008 this was, and I have been watching A piece of Candy ever since. Now the latest skins, the ones being released at Vanity Skin Fair are just lovely. Now do make sure that if you wear a lot of no bangs or pulled back hair, that you wear that kind of style with the demo on , because there is a definite difference between that area of the skin.
There is no shaved version as of yet, so you will also need to check that if you are inclined to wear low clothing or small underwear, but over all if it is a beautiful face you are after I definitely think the Guise Skins are the way to go.
I am really impressed with the growth of this creator , and expect really good things from her in the future, she is going to be one to watch for sure.

Blog – Boyd Loving
Very militarian today, is that a word? Which ended up exactly for me the theme of the night OMG OMG OMG OMG they remade V . You have no idea how excited I am about that, it was my favourite show at it’s time, I have hired the videos so many times and watched them back to back to back.
These two looks would be perfect Visitor looks for that show, and I am so loving both. The Paine Skirt should be renamed to Painless, all I had to do was stretch both sides in edit, and I was done. The pockets on this skirt are adorable, and the shape and texture is stand out quality.
The moment I saw the Tess on a Mission bodysuit I was there, at LeLutka clicking like no tomorrow. The style is something that I have been favouring a lot lately, the shoulders are fabulous and the fit, again perfection. The plunging back lines up well with the high waist of the Paine skirt, so there is definitely some mutual love going on there. I am really loving how well all the small releases from Maitreya are working so well with each other, even going back to some older pieces, they all blend incredibly well.
Another peek at how well the Nishar leggings by Zaara work as seperate options, the thigh high version in socks layer are just wonderful, especially with such arty prints as these. A newish posture collar for me from The Hat Mechanic, now this one comes with the Goggles sets, and is fantastic, BUT BUT BUT chatting with Fade earlier today, I have been told that there may just be a more stylised Posture collar in the works for later this week, as a stand alone item…I am truly excited about that.
Rocking out older items in this post, first off in the way of Olive my gorgeous flapper style hair from Gurl 6 , hands down my fav Gurl 6 hair. I wear it lots and love it more. I have even converted Ashia to it’s brilliance. The other older items are the beautiful SODA skins, I love these skins and both releases had me wearing them all over the place. The faces are beautiful, the make ups wonderful, and with the Persona line you actually get four lipsticks in one , so it’s a bargain and a half. She has enough unique faces there to really get your own look, so if you haven’t been to SODA I suggest DEMO DEMO DEMO all of them.
Bloggers fate again last night, the other day I went to Whippet & Buck and got me some more Boyd love, I adore these pants, they are from the mens side, but that never stops me… Mel looks great in W&B but these pants I cannot get enough of. So I picked up the fabulous Powder colour in the new lighter colours, and lo and behold an almost PERFECT match for the New Coat from LeLutka, I was so excited. Definitely getting my Napoleanna on.
Now if you are wondering where the killer lashes are from, they are Tease lashes from Calla. Yes Calla went and made lashes, and OMG the fitting was even easier than the skirt. The Calla lashes are made differently than any lashes I own and the method is brilliant for fitting in my opinion. A small shift of the top lashes and I was done.
