Subculture Challenge Ganguro
Sileny Noel came up with an incredible challenge last week , the Subculture Challenge, where you send her an IM with two numbers between 1 and 44 and you get sent back two subcultures. You have no idea what they are going to be, and the range is amazing. So I sent off my numbers and VOILA!
I got Ganguro , this was awesome, as Mel and I have been watching so much anime lately, and he has been reading lots of manga, so I actually knew what this was sort of lol. Anyway I was excited, so I endeavoured to try my hand at making the make up layer myself, and even though it isn’t the best, not even close, I had fun with it.
Definitely the perfect week though for LeLutka to release hair with roots lol, and all the vibrant colours I own in awesome clothing due to fatpack love, I was able to go directly to items I knew I had, even though most already blogged in the past in other colours. I also got the chance to show off my new KaS ballet boots I got this week, the boots are not only stunning in design, but they are colourchange from a full rainbow hud, so you can colour match to anything anytime. Not only can you change the whole boot, but you can opt to change every part of the boot individually or parts together, giving you a crazy combination or a stylish contrast. I think I had enough colour going on so opted for this awesome orange. These are made so well that the reflections do not tint, so they look amazing no matter what.

Panda Love – Dutch Touch, Dark Eden, Panda Express, RQ,Magika and *JA*
So the other day we were sim hopping, and it’s always either myself or Fiachra that drives. Fia turned the wheel over to Meko and he came up with a doozy of a sim. I had never been to Panda Express that I know of, unless an outlet store in the past, but it was fate as they had the same builds as we had been playing with using recently.
I have always said that one day Fiachra will be a panda, but he turned the tables on me this day, declaring that it was possibly me that wants to be one, hmmmm theres a thought, I have two panda avatars in my inventory, he may just be correct lol.
So in love with the stores decorations, and picked up a few bits and pieces while I was there, but this is the stand out item, for me anyway. The Panda Lunchbox is all sorts of yummy, not only does it contain delish Sushi, and bamboo leaves lol, but it has a texture change drop down, with six different images, the Pink Punk Panda was my choice of today, but they are all adorable, there is even a non panda one.
Dutch Touch has such a huge array of incredible seperates, the Lizz strapless tops are just another of the great pieces you can use to mix and match up a storm. The fabric styles that Iki of Dutch Touch uses always makes me want to do more, more, more with the pieces. This top is so adorable with its Polka Dottyness that I just wanted to fire it up, make it less adorable and more edgey, which somehow just ended up more adorable lol.
I love the idea of dots and stripes so I added the Knit belt from Magika, a lovely hip slung belt, that sits like a scarf tied around your waist in a bow, very nice.
Digging in my Maiiki folder I took out the shiny black leggings from the Strapless and Patent set, these leggings are fabulous, if you have any of the Maiiki sets by Iki Ikarus and the team of Beau and Onyx at Maitreya, you really need to pull them apart and use all the pieces.
The skin is the Onyx skin by Dutch Touch, this skin is so beautiful, I have featured it before and just love the mouth and make up on these skins. I really hope that Iki does more make ups soon on this range.
Back to the edgey, well edgey in my head anyway, I dove headfirst into my Dark Eden folders, one in the shoes sub folder and the other in the designers sub folders. I have had Lilith sets on two different occasions and they live scattered lol. The Lilith Mega Set is the one to get, don’t get just the pieces because the price on the full set is brilliant.
The Boots, thighstraps and armbands are all part of it, soooo easy to love everything in the set. They also come in a wide variety of the fabulous Dark Eden colours, Bloodrage is another must have in the Lilith.
I wanted some ink and the InkD Luoyang tattoo was perfect, this tat is mostly upper chest and back featured, so across the expanse of skin above a strapless top it was perfect. comes on all layers and in sheer or opaque, the sheer being the black I have on now.
InkD has such lovely tats, by the talented Laylah Mistral who has been doing tats in Second Life for so long now, you really need to check out her beautiful range.
The hair is the fabulously flowy Coy from Red Queen [rQ], the hair there is definitely not tame, and so much fun to dress up an outfit with, a lot of the styles have a special edition version that has something a little different than the regular textures, so always try on both and see which you prefer.
Everyone is GaGa mad, and I who rarely gets the chance to watch film clips etc, came in late on even knowing who she was. But I do know who Beyonce is and when gathering some music together on YouTube months and months ago I saw a film clip that blew me away, not for the music but the glasses that she was wearing. I loved these so much I begged Fiachra to make me some, and even had a go at doing them myself, I almost got there too, they are hiding in my inventory.
But then I saw a pair on Xstreet and at the price it was much easier to just click and buy lol. So the *JA* Diva glasses can be found HERE . These are so not the way I was making them, and is way impressive, great work and super sexy.They are slightly flexy just like in the film clip and they are also mod, so you can change the colours if you want to for fun, but just tint wise, you will see why when you buy them.

FooFoo Princess a Canimal Production
There are items that just jump off walls at you, declaring themselves lovable, The FooFoo pieces from Canimal are like that.
The colours in the corsets are vibrant and dynamic, and the layered graffiti look is just fabulous. There is something very cool about walking around as though some mystery man in a hoodie got up close and tagged you while going through a tunnel on the train – ok that is a bit extreme – but seriously I feel like this corset from the FooFoo collection was supposed to look as though it didn’t start out that way.
I am wearing the Grey and Blue Corsets in this post, as well as the fantastic fun TuTu’s from the same Foo Foo collection. I like many have watched Canimal over the years go on a break come back and just explode all over her store with the most wonderful collections, this is just one of them.
These are sold as seperates, and I totally encourage you to get at least one of each they are so funna.
In the first pic I went diving into some oldies and goodies for my accessories, now first off I really need to point out that the bracers are long before Sculpties so the prim work is incredible. They are the Clean Sucker Punch Arm Bracers from Catnip, Catnip has great items if you are into grunge and Neko accessories, and all sorts of pieces, one of my favourites that was a gift is a Red Bull IV Drip arm band.
The Chunky Bead Choker is from Woo’s and is so Flintstones Love for me, it is available in many colours and some prints, one fab print is card suites, very retro rockabilly looking.
The hair is a New style from Discord Designs, a fun and playful pigtails style called Savannah, you should join the Discord Designs Subscribo when you go by, as that way you can have the Demos sent right to you. The Metis Platform boots are by Dark Eden and such fun and chunky boots, with the added benefit of some incredible spike work running up the back of the leg, check them out at the store.
Second up is just more colours in the FooFoo Corset and Tutu by Canimal,this set is way too fun as I said, see it turned me into a face pulling Princess lol.
This time to add to the wonderful racing flag checks on the corset, I added the Check pantyhose by Popfuzz these are available in great colour combos and the white and black are just perfect with the white Tutu. The Grey Armwarmers are must haves from Maitreya, they come in a pack of three colours all varying depending on what pack you get, I think I have them all as they are just perfect to mix with looks.
The Princess Crown necklace is adorable, and is from Fifferling, that store is great to go and get cutsie style items, again very Neko focused but definitely fun for all.
Meembee created not just the lovely Tessa hair, but also the Big Crown tiara sitting on top of it, was a must have for me that night shopping with Newdoll eons ago, and mixed up like this I am so glad I did.
Using the VR Emoter thats free from VR Foundry and also comes inside the VR Professional Posestand Kit, face pulling like this is cake, but a big suggestion first…take a copy of your lashes and either remove the top lashes or sink them into your skull lol, it wont hurt I promise. This way you still have your lovely full lashes look but without the top ones staying put while your eyes squish from the face pulling.
The Skin I am wearing is from Your Skin , a new to me creator of skins and I was a bit surprised by the delivery as I had seen their store the day before right next door to Runo Runo when I did that post lol.
A very detailed skin with a lot of extra features, I would definitely give the demos a look because you may just like what you see. The make ups are strong and well defined and they have the added feature of the hair on skull.
Allowing you to be without prim hair and use their included bun attachment, which I didn’t opt for in this post, but it is a very stylish look. The soft curly tendrils that form the hair line is amazing and definitely something you have to experience first hand in the DEMODEMODEMO.
The bodies of these skins are lush, and lol down there is of the shaved variety. There are also freckled versions and a few different hair shade versions, seriously you do need to see the hair up close and personal, but I will be showing them again soon.
These two skins are the AdrianaRel_Basic Natural_Hair_Black, and the AdrianaRel_Autumn_Natural_Hair_Black so be sure to check them out at Your Skin.

Toy Story
I think I am doing a relay with myself in this post. So I was with Newdoll in Voice and then Whimsy got online, so it ended up one of those crazy grid hops. While Newdoll was in my ear asking about one place, I was spluttering at Whimsy about her not having enough from another.
I didn’t make it out without picking up some fun stuff myself, the trip to Canimal let me get the bra to one of my favourite corsets the Lust Corset, it is actually hiding underneath in pink and funnily enough the red version is what Newdoll was wearing under her shirt last night too – ooo maybe I stole her baton lol.
The adorkable Tshirts are also from Canimal and are a pack of five Streetwear Little Miss Tshirts in Canimal Style with more funna Little Miss’s. Atop my head is one of the New Piggy‘s from Pink Fuel , these I got yesterday and they are as adorable as the deer, so you must get them too.
Doing some light reading with the Crone book of Shadows from Dark Eden, part of the collection of Magical bits that were a recent release. After we left Canimal we hightailed it over to MNK Newdoll had been recently and wanted me to see the latest, I am never to familiar with names of some stores until I land, and both Whimsy and I are sure we have been in the past, there are so many wonderful items there.
The Tweed Short Pants come with medium length and short versions, and I just had to have in all colours, tweed is just fabulous and these will make great mix and match items.
The hair is Messy by LeLutka which is closed at the moment, but big things are brewing over there, it is going to be an amazing re-opening I can just feel it.
Another item I just couldn’t resist from MNK – and do not do what I did and buy just the one, because the pack is a steal – I was laughing so hard at those two in IM that I wasn’t paying attention, which is always dangerous when shopping. This is the SugarCake outfit in brown, and OMG how cute is that baloon skirt.
I am such a teen/young adult of the 80’s so fashion like this is love, I don’t care what you say, if you are in your mid to late 30’s and were trying to pretend you were 18+ in the mid 80’s you will know what I am talking about, there was fashion, fantastic fashion actually, there was just too much teeny bopper stuff in music clips at the time too that overpowered.
Ok rant aside :P. The Sugar Cake set has this incredible layered balloon skirt that to me and as the name suggests looks just like cake, I mean HELLLLOOOO could that be more funna?, this is the only time when cake goes to your hips that you can be happy. Ok the short upper portion perhaps isnt designed to wear solo, because the glitch pants are mid length, but throw on a pair of shorties or not 😛 and you have a mini balloon skirt, the skirt is made of solid prims so you can totally get away with that no worries.
As you can see you get two style tops in the set, and again grab the pack of two colours because the difference is like 50L so well worth it.
The Bangle set is from Dark Mouse and is the Lotus Flower and Bamboo bangles , these are just lovely work, I did however have to tint the inside faces of the prims as they were red and with those poses it was a bit in your face, but in a good way trust me. The Hair I have on is the Lisa style again from LeLutka as is all the hair today, I really love the long styles over there, and as you know I am a huge fan of the textures as they are shared with Maitreya, so the ability to grab your favs from both stores is rocking my world.
You want to know where my skin is from don’t you ? I can hear you getting crabby at me from here lol, well I aint telling until I tell :P.
I should tell now though, because you will think I am going to tell at the end, and then you will scroll ha ha ha tricked you. The beautiful New Infinity Brand of Skins are all created by Annyka Bekkers of Blowpop. In November of last year Annyka sent some people some Beta test bases for her new skins, we were asked for input and I had my comments, bet you can guess what one of them was :P.
Annyka made some changes and sent again a few weeks later, and then we only heard the occasional peep as she worked very hard to release these all hand drawn skins, but not just one skin but I do believe there are 4 , the reason I am not certain is that I have three but saw a flickr pic of hers with four, anyway regardless in the weeks to come there is going to be the Newly Rebranded Infinity Line of Luscious Skins by Annyka Bekkers.
This first one I am showing today is Ava in the Pure Honey tone, the make ups are look 1,2,3 and 4 not in that order lol but you will see when you DEMO DEMO DEMO.
The tone is just lovely and that right blend in around sunkissed. The collarbone as you can see if gorgeous and the shading all up and down the body is remarkable.
The face is beautiful, especially that nose and mouth, I think the face is just charming and the other skins in the line are equally so, you will see them soon I promise. One thing I didn’t grab a pic of and I should have, is that the skins all have a hair base, and no for once I am not talking down there, but actually on the skull, yep no more of the men only getting that option, allowing for a hair base for unrezzed sculpties, or the comfort of deprimming at lag filled events, you get both with and without hair options, so make sure you check out the demos of those as soon as they are released.
The tank top tshirt I have on is from LaLa FooFoo and is so pretty in that shade of pink, with lots of layer options of both tucked and untucked. The pants are another Must Have from MNK , they are the Stripe Pants Set and come in various colours, but you get all three options in the one pack YUMMMY, I can’t pick a fav pair in the three because they all rock.
The Hair is Venera by LeLutka and this style and Lisa are two of my favs from their range, being that dried by the sun kind of look. The Tortoiseshell Bangle and Soft Pink Hair Rose are by Essentia.
Ok so both Newdoll and Whimsy headed off, and I went solo for a bit, ok a lot…I ended up doing a quick scan of the feed and came across Chic’s Blog – I always smile when I open her blog, because seeing someone name their blog after one of your rant/thunks is pretty awesometastic in my opinion. Anyway she was posting on the Twisted hunt and I hadn’t had a chance to check it out yet, but what caught my eye was more the name of a store not the items only.
So off I tp’d to Dilly Dolls and was happy to see they are having a 70% off Sale at the moment, so while I was there not only did I grab some bargains and help a girl win on a lucky chair, but picked up this fabulous set called Darkened Mad Hatter, seriously this store has some serious Alice in Wonderland themes going on , but this set with or without the hat to me was screaming to be had.
This set is gorgeous and very very swanky indeed, I think this is a must have for both sexes especially at the sale price. The shirt portion is so obviously hand drawn and is so cute, all of it is, you do get shoes with the set but I couldn’t resist posting in the New Marie Jeannes from Insolence.
These gorgeous patent shoes come in a variety of shiny colours, the pink are just so pretty and the camel and beige are lots of fun with my brownzilla love. I totally can see these getting lots of wear and tear this coming season and they look so delish with socks its not even funny.
The hair is Peta by LeLutka and is a great bun style for a more conservative approach.
