PLEA to DESIGNERS and CREATORS and MAKERS of STUFF
Ok look out I am going into high rant mode.
Damn I wish I could make the font HUGE !
You have stores, you create beautiful items, we buy them, or in some cases get given them in one form or another, be it a gift from a loved one, or we sat on a red chair and green particles come out and we get a pressie…. or you happen to Blog and Designers like your style and you get sent Showcase Items to feature .
So many ways in Phils Place to Honestly Acquire fantastic merchandise. But then OMG, you run out of space in your store, you are creating at a speed faster than one hallmark holiday to the next, this cant go on , you need more space , OMG you have a sale and discontinue it all .
Stomps my foot HARD , NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO.
YOU ARE ERASING HISTORY .
The insanity has to end , stomps foot again *.
Why to not discontinue :
1. Coz I said so.
If one doesn’t work for you then these reasons might .
Many other designers use your products, they are constantly advertising your hair, your skins, your shoes , your jewelry , your clothing in their vendor ads. Hundreds maybe even thousands of IMs a week occur with the question ‘Excuse me your vendor in your store has a blah blah blah blah in it , can you tell me where that is from ? ” sure says the designer , I got that at such and such store , so off the customer TP’s and finds its not there, its been DISCONTINUED !.
Now that doesn’t seem that big a deal right , well it is, because usually then the customer returns to the first person and says they cant find it, so they then have to spend time working out why with that person, if the item is hot , it means this happens a lot – this I know to be true, not one week went past at my old work where I wasn’t asked about hair from HCT , thankfully that was old stock but in a multi vendor.
Once the designer finds out their ads are constantly being asked about, and so many of those ims of despair, they have to change them so that the insanity stops , same with stores that provide information on other items in their ads, that gets out of date and same goes, they have to then go and redo all the info and take new ad shots etc , that costs them money, and if the store they buy from does this a lot, they find it easier to just not use their products.
Now lets get down to, customers too the other ones that don’t make ads etc, sometimes the whole ‘you cant get it anymore is a fun thing ‘ , I know I myself wear Dazzle and Ruins to major events a lot of the time, so that I don’t ruin anyones NEW look by accident – “I” don’t care if ten women are wearing same as me, but I’m pretty sure they do . So yes it is nice to have some older pieces from places that are no longer in world.
But many get really upset about wearing things that aren’t out anymore, because in a way you are making them ‘last season’ and we know many don’t want to wear last seasons clothes – chuckles. For many designers its not just a case of space though, its a case of older stock may mean not as high quality as their current is, due to having improved as they went, and thats admirable too, to not want to sell stock to people that you don’t feel is your best work.
But I have come to learn that many of you are batty 😛 , that what you deem not good enough, are some of the sets people hold near and dear in their inventories. They are also the sets that made your customers loyal to you in the first place.
Now lets get on to the bloggers, oh lord its so hard to know what hair textures are the latest black , what accessory you adore that looks so good with these new pants etc hast been sold for 6 months because you always mean to get back to the store but don’t get the chance, but love sending people their way. Ive done a complete post once that wasn’t in a store anymore, not only was that a big fiasco but such a shame to all that read and couldn’t purchase.
I even met Wednesday Soon of Woo’s that way, I wore hair from ETD not having any idea it was discontinued , and the poor girl ran all around looking for it wanting it so bad – still feel guilty over that . Some designers keep old stock thats not longer in the store, and will sell it to the customer, but that often takes IM’s and time and catching each other on line etc.
Back to the gifting thing, a Partner buys something special for their other half, or a great friend for a great friend, somehow the Mothership rumbles and its gone, they are heartbroken, the item is no longer for sale and the creator isnt online as often due to RL etc , again heartache to try and replace something so special to them, and it could even be a case of first hair or a dress a person gave them when they were new, replacing it isnt exactly the same, but it makes them feel better having it again.
There are so many items I have that are discontinued, and no transfer, or are transfer and I don’t want to part with them lol. But there is a IM where someone you know needs that exact thing you have, they don’t know you have such a thing , they just have this idea in their head of what they want, and you know that item would be perfect, so you want to lead them to it, or gift it to them,but alas again you can’t its not in store and they need it then and there to make their look complete- if it was transfer of course I would lend it 😛 but so much easier and exciting to gift it to them.
So here is my PLEA! ONREZ and SLExchange give you unlimited wall space so to speak lol. SLX Im not a huge fan of, but sales wise apparently its better than Onrez for some, but for me Onrez is the one and only.
When gifting from Onrez you get a resend option if its no transfer, meaning if for some reason it doesn’t deliver, you the purchaser can resend it to yourself or the giftee, whoever it was on the receiving end of the purchase.
You get your very own online store, meaning http://shop.onrez.com/Sasy_Scarborough or any person you think might have items on their with the _ in between first and last name, that is how you find them, even if unsure if they are on Onrez , using that trick will find them.
they allow for batch editing , meaning if you do one dress/item in 48 colours , you can click the check box and do the desccription and details all in one section for all 48, then save and add the pics for each one.
Anyway all Im begging for is that you all consider utilising tools like OnRez and SLExchange, it would be so awesome to say now, ok I know its not in the store now but it will be on OnRez , oh you love this hair, its an older style but it is on Onrez etc etc.
So many people shop on those sites from work, people that never store shop anymore due to their time in PhilsPlace being limited, so they want to log in , accept all they have bought, get dressed and go to an event or meet up with friends and thats it, and if they find something by you they haven’t seen before and really love what they see , you never know what kind of future loyalty that could bring to your store.
Also if you dont think its your best work anymore , DISCOUNT IT dont discontinue it, aloow people who may be on a limited income the ability to purchase it one day when they have a few lindens to spare, they may have been pining over that gown half their time in world, and then its gone OMG I would be so upset, I had a customer once tell me she had camped for a 500L item, saved every linden to get it , do the math , thats one dedicated woman, and this wasnt your afk go to sleep type of camping , she didnt know how to do that, I asked , she actually spent time in world sitting on a camping pad every day for a few hours, knowing that at the end she would have that dress – you just got all weepy didn’t you , I know I did remembering .
So PLEASE next time you need to reduce the stock in your store, think about us out here , that never want to lose the option to buy your items, think about all those new residents that have never seen the drape dress from Pixeldolls , or the abby hair from Diversity – Yeah I nag aleri allll the time lol.
KEEP PHILS PLACE HISTORY ALIVE !
end of rant 😛

Dot and Sasy Dolly Up
Way too many moons ago to remember, the fantastic Kit Maitland told me about the then NEW Dollhouse store. She was all a giggle about these fantastic creations, and when we tp’d over to the then little street vendor cart, we ran into Dot Lane of the Dot Lane Girl Reporter Blog.
We chatted for ages and then, much later we were again talking about our Doll House purchases and planned to do a shoot together, well I FINALLY got it together, and tp’d Dot over and this adorable pic is the outcome.
Since back then Doll House has its own store and so many more incredible dresses to choose from. Dot is wearing the Black Pearl set, stunning piping in white features on this Dolly girl set. With its high neck and ruffled sleeves its full adorable coverage right down to the thigh high white socks. Look at that adorable mini hat, its like a pilgrims hat, so adorable perched above her booN BON75 Hair .
For her skin choice Dot has gone with the Fleur Vanilla Deux Parfait 3 , a wonderful skin with such beautiful bow lips, that its just perfect for this look. I wanted to look that cute too, so into my Fleur folder I went and pulled out the fabulous Marie Skin, with the porcelain skin and pink puckered lips I was all set too.
I am wearing the Black Alice set from Doll House, and I love this dress, not just as a dress in full Doll look, but I also love to wear the top half with dress pants, a lot of the Doll House sets work wonderful in that style. Also atop my head is the incredible little Kitty Bonnet , you just don’t realise you need a bonnet until you have one as scrumptious as this. Under it I am wearing the No Bangs Bun from ETD – I love no bangs styles as they alleviate the need for editing around different hair styles when wearing hats, and when time to remove the bonnet out come the bangs lol.
What prompted the Doll House look that day, was the NEW release of incredible Mary Janes by Smerk Gorilla. These Mary Janes are available at Here Comes Trouble (HCT ) womens wear section, and they are just incredible. The shading and detailing on these sculpted Mary Janes is fantastic.
They have a click on menu for resizing to fit your shoe size, not just for a more fitted look, but also if you want your shoes to look more chunky , which I think is wonderful , especially when putting together a look like this one. The Mary Janes are going to be available in more colours, which may be the case now as its been a few days, so make sure you head on over and check them out .
The MaryJanes that Dot is wearing are from Tesla and I do believe they are still free in her main store , so grab those as they are a wonderful style to wear with many looks.
I love Doll House dress sets cost only 100L , and are all beautifully crafted by Ravenlynn Templar of LVS , so you know the quality is superb.
Thank you Dot for helping me do this wonderful post ♥

Powers of Creation
A few weeks back Kai Heideman of Powers of Creation (poc) contacted me about the possibility of showcasing his and his partners work. It’s taken me some time to have the chance to share these with you. Powers of Creation is a Latex store , this store not only does the heavenly sexy variety of Latex but also leans towards the lifestyle ranges as well , and you know by now, that even as I am shy with my parts lol, I am not shy about sharing high quality lifestyle items.
The saying spend a day in another persons shoes came to mind during the pic taking for this, but in the form of in anothers skin -omg thats such a pun lmao and so not intended LMAO , you will get it eventually.
The first set is the White Lochfraß set, and this stunned even me in the amount of variations that it comes in, as you can see in the pic. When I chose it I saw white and thought YUM, but having it on there was so much squeeling going on that I think I sent a few friends crazy in IM – I should say crazier as they are already my friends after all.
As you can see I did an all over white look for this, which is always fun. But just look at not only the sensational latex work itself, but again all the incredible and superbly sexy options you get in this set.I would have been supremely happy with any of the options, so to get all in one was wicked. You have the full back and front with side cut outs, the front and back cutouts, the full front and not back and the cutouts front back and sides .
I love them all, but I would have to say that my favourite, in keeping with tradition for me lol, is the front covering backless option, I think its super sexy to look all innocent and covered and then turn around and BAMM nakey back.
The skin I am wearing with this set is again by PXL and is the divine Crys_SmokeEyes_IceLips , which not only has fabulous tone, make up and overall look to it, but the ice lipstick just went so well with the all white look.
The hair is a no brainer, as always I dig into Maitreya folder always for my white hair, and even with the new textures that is still my go to . This is the Sophie style with the lovely wrap around bands that are now colour change on click with the retexturing having been done – and if anyone tells me they always were I will cry lol.
Now for the Talon Boots and Neck Brace that I know you are just chomping at the bit to know about, well my lovelies, they are from DMMDI (devil made me do it ) , the Talon boots have a few different ways to wear as there are many pieces, but with full body latex on in the form of the White Lochfraß set, I thought it was only right to go all the way. They are just primtastic.
Now for something a bit more on the fetish side, and an explanation of that pun of earlier lol – I swear I didn’t mean to do it lol. The Latex Skin set in Black/Bronze is a full coverage latex option and all done on the skin layers, with the wonderful use of Eloh Eliots Skin templates. I can honestly say I was so proud and impressed when I saw the signs affirming this at Powers of Creation.
So much so I just tp’d over there so I can type what is actually said .
Due to the way SL works, you can’t have more than one texture on your head. Now, if you want to create something like a latex-hood you run into a problem: People wearing it will lose their face – especially when parts of the skin still can be seen. To solve this problem you need to wear the same skin with or without latex. Also, to show parts of the face, you need a good skin ,too.
Thanks to Eloh Eliot the ‘Another Skin’ is available under BSD-License. I took them and modified them quite a bit to the from up for sale here. As part of this work was done not by me, 60% of the sales from the normal skins will be donated.
Thank you, Kai Heideman.
Then underneath that there is a tally showing how much money is accumulating so that he can see a clearer figure and to what charity it is going towards. This is for the skins he has as complete skins not in latex form, so that those wanting to go up to the latex numbers have their own every day skin as the same skin that gets covered, it keeps everything real when going back and forth and is a brilliant use of the Eloh skins .
This is the Latex Skin set in Black /Bronze but also with the addition of the Black Latex Corset.
First off you can really see how this using the skin bases works so well – this would also be a brilliant idea for costume makers , I mean hello Catwoman , I had to stop myself from putting on ears and a tail.
The highlights to the latex are again incredible and if the whole latex fetish is your thing, then this set just upped the level. Also imagine the ARC on this, I don’t think there would be one at all, I might wear this to hair fair lol.
This also makes layer limits brilliant too, I am wondering why there isnt a without hood at all option, maybe that might be something Kai offers in the future. I am also wearing the Black Corset, that has so many options and all layers , long, medium, short length, extensions on pants layers also if you need them, and with and without cup options -LOL ONLY time you will see me without cups full frontal . I love that this is striped with white too, its so cute I look like candy.
Also when you go to Powers of Creation, in the front doorway on the right there is a DEMO latex set, so you can see first hand the work that goes into them. As well as live Mannequins modeling some of the designs.
So if you have been looking for some high quality latex make sure you visit Powers of Creation.

Smile, Persona-lity
Yesterday my day of inspiration started because of Beanie Canning from, yes again one of the members of Fashion Finds, seriously if you haven’t stopped by yet you should.
I was checking out the lead Beanie had given us all, on the latest releases in 3 Japanese hair stores , woot.
Off I ran and grabbed 2 styles from two of the three stores, and one demo I still am holding on to.
Once I was all styled up I knew exactly who’s yummies I wanted to share, and that is Myllie Writers latest from Persona.
The first combination is the Mini Skirt called Mollie and the Mollie Lace top and tank. The tank also comes separately and is a sexy combo, but with stylish charm.
The leggings that come as part of the skirt set can of course be worn without the socks, so you have pantyhose in an opaque look, which will be fab in boot season , or the leggings, I opted for both looks.
The hair I am wearing in this and the next two pics is the =TEKUTEKU= coco from of course Teku Teku , there is an abundance of fabulous styles there, even an adventurous dreads style. As well as walls and walls of hand painted hair textures for sale.
Later that night I went to Garfield and ran into Yabusaka Loon and Anju and so many other wonderful people including Sai Pennel and Lucas too. After buying some shoes (will be shown later Im sure ) I went to Yabusaka’s store and got this heavenly Choker , not only did I not need to edit it other than moving it forwards a smidge, but it has 7 different coloured stones on click, absolutely perfect and so girly girl that with the lace of the wonderful Mollie top it was perfection.
The Hair Rose in Grey and Purple from Essentia was a perfect match, and I realised yesterday that not only have you not really seen the Hair Roses up close and personal, but that you don’t really get to see a lot of the additional pieces I wear -if any – when I do, so Im trying to see if this way works better. The skin is the PXL Linda skin Gold_SmokeEyes_BlackEB that I showed yesterday with Efe, thats just adorable.
The NEW incredible Peep toe heels from AC Creations are something I have been waiting for, I suggested Aphrodite to a pair of peep toe ages ago , and when she got the time after her big move of the main store -which is always a stack of work – she created these beauties, they are called Sasy Chic *blushes* and they are just wonderful to wear with pretty frocks and dressed and sexy as all get out poking through he cuffs of dress pants or jeans.
The texturing on these too is divine, really classy and chic is what she was going for and she succeeded.
The next 2 sets are the Incredible Liane dress in Gold and Turquoise, I am sharing two today but there are other colours available and all the contrast leggings options are wonderful, I especially love the white with grey – lol like thats not typical.
As soon as I put this one , I knew that the Sasy Chic were going to be a perfect companion. Totaly modern Greek Goddess styled dress , and the shoes are made by Aphrodite , NO BRAINER , and of course as I gazed into the shoes folder, all the colours matched up perfectly – meant to be meant to be.
Liane is as I said truly a vision in old meets new, the wonderful tie at the shoulder in this one strap marvel had me feeling very luxurious and had anyone proposed running off to some island to dance all day I would have – Oh wait I did that *giggles*. perfect use of the layering options, with the leggings on the underwear layer and the dress on the top and pants layers.
I also love the symbol in the midsection of this dress, I am not sure what it means if anything but again it made me feel magical. With the Liane in Gold I am wearing the Medallion set earrings and bracelet from Essentia , the fabulous Tortoise shell Shades from Dernier Cri – love these and there were all sorts of tint options to choose when buying, as well as other frame colours .
In the Turquoise Liane, I went with this colour because of another fabulous Beanie tip, the *UnTone Quily* free bracelet(navy) which is a freebie and comes in two sizes, just look at all the work that went into this fabulous bangle cluster. The of Earrings and Necklace and the Gem Deco Silver Turquoise set – the Gem Deco collections come in gold or silver and many other incredible hand painted semi precious gemstones to choose from –and the Blue Harmony Hair Rose are all from Essentia . Because of the wonderful contrast leggings the Sasy Chic heels in the deeper turquoise matched wonderfully.
The next two sets from Persona are the Nola dresses, what I love about these straight away is their femininity with a definite old fashioned charm. Of course in my blogging land everything is timed to perfection, just as I changed clothes Roslin Petion of Fleur delivered to me the stunning NEW Lady Aurora skin, in the Vivant line of skins.
Unable to help myself I tried it on to be instantly in awe of not only its beauty as I always am with Fleur skins, but also the of course lol perfect match of the make up to the Cherry Nola dress I already had on – seriously sometimes, well most times my blogging kharmic energy is super duper lol.
The one other fabulous thing about the Fleur Vivant line is the absolute confidence that if you like the make up, you dont have to look over everything else, you could be covered from top to toe and only your face showing and if its a hit its a complete hit , thats so reassuring in skins buying . But if you haven’t had the pleasure of Fleur skins yet, then of course DEMOOOOOOOO.
Back to Nola now, the lace top of this dress had me all worried that I wasnt going to be able to love the lace on its own, of course Myllie being Myllie had Mollie up her sleeve -thank goodness. So Nola is able to be Nola, an attractive and very beautiful babydoll style dress, but with as I said , an old fashioned charm to it, so that even though short, its not revealing – amazing how that can be portrayed depending on the design.
The boostier style bodice look over this delicate keyhole lace top – combined layer, not seperatable – runs down your body as you swish as you walk. Again beautiful additions of pantyhose but this time patterned ones *squeels* love them , spent a fortune in the 80’s every weekend on patterned stockings only to have some (censored) smack into me with a cigarette when sitting on some ripped vinyl bar stool in some smoke filled dive at 4am – ok I probably deserved it then , or my mum would definitely say I did lol – but I DID LOOK FAB , and now you can too with these lovely detailed pantyhose.
Other standout feature is the lovely silver and feathered brooch that comes with the set, now in the cherry I am wearing the one that comes with , in the Grey I am wearing one from Kalon -more about that in a sec- another beautifully feminine adornment of earlier times, that don’t get seen enough these days, mind you vintage brooches in the style like this one are very very chic right now. So make sure you make a copy of this one and put it in your favourite Jewelry pieces folder , will look wonderful when just wearing something like jeans and another style top.
The hair is the second style I got yesterday because of the Beanie one, its the BP* anna mori/dark brown from BP* , I adore the backcombed look to this and the length being not too long, so its even cuter the amount of work you would need to do to achieve this look RL . This style would look wonderful with a headband or even a little tiara .
Now in the Nola Grey I went with bare legs , just because I can :P, but opted for even more traditional jewelry in the form of the Cameo Pearl set from Kalon , I have been dieing to wear this for so long , and every time I went to , something just wasn’t quite right , but see its because I was waiting for Nola . Love the choker and love the brooch , again definitely something you could use to add some uniqueness to something a bit more casual and even more modern .

Inspired Again
The incredible group over at Fashion Finds are inspiring me every day. Today again I was inspired by another member of this community we have here, Lilyana Dryke uploaded a fabulous song called new shoes and all day I was humming it and bouncing around in RL and Phils Place, as the Mothership was cleaning her engines I was home bound and inspired after taking lots of pics because of Beanie , that I ended up making this video showing a fraction (a small fraction ) of my shoes, was great fun and I don’t think I have ever put on that many shoes in one day before .
So in just over a week I have had so much inspiration from this one place , through all of the group just doing little things that make them special . so Thanks to them all ♥

Lovely Linda featuring Guest Blogger Efemera Bisiani
Yesterday I had the pleasure of meeting Hart Larsson of PXL face to face, and what a pretty face he has. It came about from the preview pack of Linda skins that were sent to bloggers by Harts assistant Sunrae Moonbeam.It was instant awe for these incredible skins, and not just the face love that are unbelievably beautiful, but also for the incredible features the skin itself holds.
I tp’d over one of my good friends Efemera who is a blogger also, and doing some great posts and pics over at Fashion Finds .
Now Linda is already in the store, but only in the until now four beautiful tones, but on Monday there will be the anticipated release of the Linda Dark skin, which is just as amazing as the rest of the warm and lush tones.
Way hard choosing the favourite out of the Sunkissed, and the fairer tones for me , I mean each tone has such incredible depth to it, they all shine for diferent reasons and it would come down to absolute preference.Me though I know will move back and forth feeling the love. Looking over the whole body there are as I said so many distinguishing points, that show how much incredible time and dedication went into them. Efe has captured most of those points like a true champion, and you know me, I am all about making you go and get the Demos and see it for yourself.
Some things I have to mention though, as they attribute to me personally lol.The nose is perfect, one thing I don’t know if I have mentioned this blogging time around, but know I have in the past, is that I have a nose fetish for my own nose. Yes pure and simple I love my own nose, like not just think its cute and all that, I LOVE IT .
Other things I love about my face, are my mouth and my cheekbones, I thank mum every day for the cheekbones, as they are high and fab.
The mouth I have no idea who to thank for that in our family but its exactly like this skin and why my shape is how it is. I have that dent lol well I always call it a dent, on my bottom lip, and this skin gives me that. With Linda you get incredible cheek detailing without being overly blushy , so that just accentuates the shape I have that factors in high cheekbones.
The other things that clinch skin for me are the back and bum, the detailing of the spine and shoulders is again incredible and the bum is yum. Like I said Efe has gone way into more of it so I will let her words carry. But seeing it on her as well for me was awesome thats why I wanted to share this post today too, so you can see how it adapts to your shape without you having to adapt your shape to it.
Ohhh one other thing I have to point out too lol sorry cant stop myself, is that the smokey make ups, as you can see they are all incredible blends of shadow and lipsticks for these skins, but one thing that stood out for me, was that Hart does smokey brown shadow as well as black, giving it a softness that is incredibly sensual.
In my body pics I am showing the divine Melanie sets of lingerie by Camilla Yosuke of Insolence, this sheer lace set comes with bra and a corset, which is actually a lengthener to the bra itself giving it a short camisole like look. You can see more showing pictures HERE as its that sheer :P.
It really is stunning lingerie and Id love to wear the cami look under a shirt or jacket with just a hint showing through, the stockings also are a favourite, their colour and sheer factor make them a wonderful addition to an outfit. The shoes are the fabulous Nana heels from Enkythings and my hair in the lingerie pics is the Kenzie II by Aden Breyer and older style I love for its drapey look.
The hair I have on in the face pics is Alyssa from ETD and Efe is wearing Melrose also by ETD in her pics , with swimwear from Casa Del Shai .
Now for Efemera’s post on Linda:
So, we all know Sasy loves the squee, but we also know what fantabulous taste she has, so when I got an IM about the new Linda skins at PXL I just had to go check it out.
Now, I’m a one skin girl. I’ve worn the same creator since I bought my first skin way over a year ago, just in different makeups, and then upgraded when a new range came out. But I have to say, these skins – just… wow!!
The face is so pretty, just the right amount of definition, but not too hard on the lines. The blush is deliciously soft and expertly blended, with just the right amount of shadow to accentuate the cheekbones without being too harsh. The eyes are delicately lined – a true professional makeup job, with subtle highlighting just below the browline. And the lips!! Full and moist, just a hint of gloss rather than caked in the stuff, the highlights perfectly placed, and the shadowing truly accentuating the cupid bow shape.
I love the shimmery glow of the T-zone, we all know that’s a problem area, right girls, and this recognises that, but the lighting is subtle, not greasy, and I when I look at my av I just wanna tweak the tip of the finely boned nose. Amazing! And the nostrils are great too. I also particularly love the septum, so natural looking. I think I’m gonna have to tweak my shape a teeny tiny bit, and I’ll need to work on my eyebrows to make it truly *me* but so far, so fantastic!!
Moving below the neck, if I can tear my eyes away from my new prettiness…. the collarbone is delicious, soft and natural, the shoulder blades and spine just cry out to be massaged, and the rib cage!! Oh my!! Now, promise you won’t tell anyone, but I’m not a size 8 anymore, but when I was, my body looked *just* like this!
The shadowing on the boobs is divine. With some skins, it can look kinda “dirty”, but this is discreet and delicate, and the nipples!! Ok, not gonna go there but you’ll like ’em, promise!! There’s perhaps just a little too much stretching underneath the boobs for my relatively pert bosom, but is by no means excessive.
The legs are toned and gently muscular, perfect for a dancer, and I just wanna reach out and pinch my bum!! The creases and folds are great on the legs, right down to the veins on the foot, which aren’t scary anorexic sticky-outy (yes, that *is* a word, ok!), but rather authentic and believable.
I’m gonna have to live in these for a day or two to be sure, but I think the miraculous has finally happened, and I’m gonna be weaned off my current skin dealer. And you know, the cold turkey ain’t gonna be hard, cos damn, these are HOT!
Oh, and the seams? There aren’t any. Full stop.
PS – Just for the record, that’s a UK size 8, not a US one!!

Bee Kind
Sunday night I was watching tv and 60 Minutes came on, the aussie version. I tend to steer clear of the news/current affairs kind of programs as I get too upset – I was almost banned from TV as a child for getting so distressed Frosty melted.Anyway now that mum is back from her international tour *giggles* I was stuck. There was a story on bees, of all things, and watching it I was in awe of the devastation that is affecting our world, yes the whole world.
You can see the story HERE . I was amazed, I mean when we see bees we think OUCH, and run, or worse if our homes have a hive we get it destroyed.
I’ve been so guilty of never thinking about the beauty that bees are responsible for. That hive that is a nuisance is what is responsible for all the beautiful plants that grow in and around our homes and parks. But now from watching this report I see so much more than that.
What upset me more was that this incredible man Dr Anderson is fighting this plight alone, or so the story seems to suggest. That makes me sad, sadder than I was already about this situation. To me something that effects the world to this magnitude in my mind should be shared. He shouldn’t be underfunded, he shouldn’t be fighting it alone. Where are all the professors and scientists from other countries? Why isn’t some of the money being spent on all those bees that have to be transported all over the world from Australia, forwarded to his research?
Anyway that’s just a rant , but next time you see a bee, and even if allergic, please don’t kill it, because right now those poor little things have it hard enough. If you do have a hive in your house and its causing trouble, find some way to have it removed and relocated. That seems like a way better alternative.
This infestation has been going on for years and now its gone too far, so appreciate your surroundings and know that if it wasn’t for bees we would not only lose so much in the way of food but also the beauty they provide to our world.
Queen Bee Costume with Hair found in womens clothing section is from HCT
Shoes are Mishima Dawn from Maitreya .
Location of background is the incredible Serenity Falls , if you haven’t been there yet you will be floored by the beauty , and everything is able to be bought there .

Are you Miss Ms or Mrs
Thats Ms Sasy to you :p .
Ms Sasy is the incredible dress that has come from the collaboration of Popfuzz Bamboo and Rosemary Galbraith, and its a collaboration I pray we see more of in the future. I had been pleading with Popfuzz for such a long time for her to branch out into the micro mini, and she was adamant that it wasn’t going to happen 😛 – I win , in soooooo many ways.
Rosemary agreed when I was visiting one day, and to my utter delight, I am so honored to have the first absolutely beautiful dress in this style named after me. They work so well as a team, both accentuating each others strong points in such a way as to really capture the overall sense of what they set out to achieve .
I hear there was some foot stamping and all sorts of nooooooo’s going on and funnily enough none of that was from me lol . The shading to this dress is incredible and the texture over all how it coats your body is omg, I swear I started seeing vpl but not in a bad way in a simply marvelous way – its not actually there lol but oh you need to feel the love.
Not only is it tight and short, but the gemstone like detailing on the top of the bustier style dress is remarkable, and the stitching down the front panel just enhances how incredible the design is , its everything I could dream for and so much more.
There are an incredible amount of colours available, and if you buy one today , they are two for one if you contact Rosemary Galbraith with your second colour. The Metalic Silver OMG could it be more incredible, and all of the other colours are just spectacular.
The beautiful full length Gloves I am wearing are from Fleur and just added so much to the look.

The other day I went to BareRose to grab one thing and left with more than one thing :P. Which is often the case when I blink and miss the latest yummies from there.I actually got stuck, couldn’t tp out and was glad, because as I was demanding Tori come play with me, she turned up and out of the corner of my eye appeared a Vision.
This vision comes in the form of Fantasy, a set that is absolutely divine. Five stunning sheer blouses with incredible ruffled features on the cuffs shoulders and collar.
Let us not leave out those incredible high waisted pants either, an absolute delight in style, and elegance.
The tops of them are made on the jacket layer so can be worn with and without the high look, which is fabulous.I adore the long flared sleeves done in such a way as to enrich the overall style, but took a gamble and modded the darker navy shirt to shorten the sleeves as those gorgeous shoulder sleevelets needed their own appreciation, and it turned out even better than I hoped for.
I had meant to do this post the other day, and yet again not getting it done proved perfect, as the release of the Vixen 2 heels by Tesla are an incredible match to the set. The fallow colour especially matched the piping on the pants, so without needing to match the shirt colour specifically I was all colour co-ordinated with ease.
With the short sleek bob by ETD called Patricia the framing of the face and highlighting of that brilliant ruffled collar had me ready for any affair.
Next up was another adorable set from BareRose that is the Leather Mini Skirts, even though they do come with their own top, I decided to give them an outing with the new Ruched Cami tops from SWA . The leather mini’s are sculpted and a marvelous way to add some curves to your figure. I love that they have a real loin cloth kind of look to them , they are definitely saucy attire.
The cross over ruched look on the Cami tops is wonderful, they look great casual like this or a bit dressier maybe with a nice open jacket for a splash of colour and great texture, the hair is all by House of Heart, which is the new Sister store of Bewitched Hair, and the styles are fun and fluffy, with beautiful textures..Left to right we have Elusive, Joss and Haley.
Accessories in the form of the Soho Necklace and Chicago bag are also from House of Heart, I love the Soho necklace, as again from casual to dressy you will find many looks that it will go well with. The Chicago bag has girl on a mission written all over it -not literally. Take charge of your day, pack your essentials and off you go.
Left to right some different footwear depending on your mood, all sensational styles with a definite spend all day in them feel. Engineer boots from (0N) Zero Number , Gyala Shoes from Enkythings and Polina Chunky Platforms from Dela.
The skin I am wearing is from Dernier Cri and is the Kelsey in Chestnut Glamour Pink,and of course all Hair Roses are from Essentia .

Dernier Cri introduces Kelsey
Asuka Martin sent a notice yesterday to fash con, stating she had made some ‘Cartoonish Skins” that girl seriously cracks me up.Now I know I have always had a bit of a ‘I want to be Veronica Lodge, but am more of a Betty Cooper kind of girl thing going on’, thats my issue, others have Cinderella Complexes and there are those that think they are Barbie -giggles.
But if Kelsey the latest skin release from Dernier Cri is cartoonish then I am sooooo there .
I think I will stay Betty as I have in the past put some thought into this, Betty ends up rich with Reggie, Mr Lodge disowns Veronica for marrying Archie, and Jughead ends up the CEO of Burger King.
There are five wonderful tones to this new skin, and the shading, and overall structure of the skin is fit and healthy looking. As you can see, the skin has a soft shine to it, for those lovers of island/beach life.
There are 9 make ups at the moment, I am hoping that there will be many more, the drip, glamour and shine looks come in three different colours. Apple Green that is a really beautiful compliment to any browns and golds you may wear. The Aqua will compliment all your pinks, silver/greys and red/pink outfits, and the Pink will mix with most as its very neutral based.
The skins also come with long and short lashes that are really pretty as they are only top lashes so have a really full look, I am wearing them in the pics, there is also a eyebrows base to wear too, and the skins are 900L each.
The mouth is especially wonderful on this skin and the eyes are gorgeous, so get on over to Dernier Cri and pick up the Demos and see for yourself. The hair is Clipped on the Faces and left pics, and the Jamison is the back view hair, also both from Dernier Cri as is the Shiny Silver Bikini.
xxox Sasy xoxo
