    What is going on with group notices and offlines lately ? I am starting to think that any group that was joined after the 25 doesn’t actually register. I get the offline emails, and then log in to nothing, is this just me? It is funny that for so many years we have begged for more groups, and yet most that I know haven’t even maxed out the new ones given, I know I haven’t. They are definitely going to be handy this year for Hair Fair though, as long as they work properly that is…every year I have to leave about four groups for the duration, so this year was really nice to add too without leaving some first.

    Gala has created a new skin, her name is Meadow, and that is such a lovely soft fresh name for this skin. The make ups are minimal and no overly glossy lips for Meadow, she is simplistic and a lovely backdrop to some colourful clothing that will be all over the place soon. I went with some neutrals today though, having loved the make ups, and the colours available to me both shoes and clothing wise.

    First off the skirt from Fishy Strawberry, when I saw Fae wearing this skirt before its release I was WOAH that is so swishy and prettyful. It ended up even more delightful to wear, the colours are divine, and the nude and peach ones just worked so well for this post for me. Elikatira has released Rythm, a beautiful french twist that Elika has been working on and half finished for a while now, but finally it got done and it is now a stunning up do for work, play or dressier events.

    In the pics of the skins faces I didn’t wear brow tattoos, but did so for the close up and the full body shots, Gala has included some great colour choices for brows and the chestnut and Ginger brows go great with the rich browns and carrot reds of Elikatira hair. I said last week I could totally live and love in LeLutkas accessories section, and the Saggy Bag is a Must Have, but look out for some insanely gorgeous bags coming soon.

    The last but not least item to drool over – but please drool on your own feet and not mine, coz ewwww – the lace up boots from Anexx are so adorable. The suede leather look, the wrapped hell, the baby pink insert on all colours, I mean where does the love end and the omg start. So cute, and I can totally see these in some movie where the fashionable main actress gets asked out hiking by the ruggedly handsome main actor and turns up in these, not exactly practical but soooo fashion.

    A shocking disaster happened the other day in New Zealand, last I heard over 65 fatalities and the images were horrific as this happened at noon in Christchurch one of the largest cities in New Zealand. Shelly Toonie has organised an event to help with this disaster, by organising space at Jori Watlers sim, to be involved you need to contact Shelly Toonie, you can set out an item for 100% proceeds and it does not have to be new or exclusive, but we are hoping that many will attend and everything will be new to someone.

    Also Puarangi Jewelers which is owned by Hibiscus Flossberg a New Zealander who is an ex Christchurch resident, is donating ALL money made in her store up until the 31st of March to this cause, so please check her out also.

    A new skin at the fair by Gala of Curio is Pout, and also another skin pack is Yum 2, I am showing pout today though, and it is definitely pouty. What I love about not only the face is the names of the make ups, Pout, Tantrum, Whine and so on, so fun, and so true to their names.

    Clawtooth by Clawtooth has released some delightful blowing in the breeze style hair, and it’s subtle enough to be perfect for overcast days like the background I shot for Second Life Stock Images a few weeks back. I actually used blur on most of it in PS, so the sky stood out more.

    I am wearing a set from Sn@tch and I actually had these pants in RL in two colours and you wont believe me I am sure if I told you one of them was purple, I didn’t always have an issue with that colour. The pants were so popular down here and woven in such a way that they would stretch and lose shape so easily that to get them back you had to wash and twist tight and air dry, and boom back to new again. I loved them, wore them to death, but mine had a much looser leg bottom…anywho as soon as I saw them at Sn@tch I had to have.

    I really like the cropped jumper too, yes we call sweaters jumpers down here, It is the perfect style to show off your divine skins body, or layer over the top of a dress or other top for a completely different look. More showing off of the body with the new Ooh La La lingerie, these sets are set out in the party area at Lula and are just gorgeous, there is also a gift pantie and bra set if you aren’t too late, so run over and look for the dance area and little market stands.

    Anti Valentine not me

    AV1

    AV2

    Sweetheart3

    Sweetheart2

    Sweetheart1

    Anti Valentines what a concept, I for one think the whole ‘proper’ aknowledgement of the day is really beautiful…not the hallmark moments, but the actual priest the whole thing was named after, and what he did to help others in love at risk of his own life – or so the story goes.

    Regardless I have some pretties, most of which come from the Chic Limited Event starting on the 12th of Feb. The event runs for two weeks and some wonderful items are up for sale. Hucci has this 24 Karat combo, that is very showgirly and fun to wear, I added some wings and a tiara and I am off for a night of anything goes. The middle gypsy look is a mix of top from deetalez and bottom from bounce, these skirts and tops come in various colours and are just delightful to wear.

    The babypink very athens like look is so adorable, but I could not wear the other attachments, one being a pulsating heart with arrow through it around the neck – way too much for my delicate flower like sensibilities. The dress goes well with the G wedge anti V shoes from Peqe, these are wicked cute, and have a great granny floral texture on them that works with the pink of the dress.

    The hair I am wearing is from Raw House, a new to me brand, but in existance for the last few months. Their hair is a mix of scene and standard and so divine, especially the concave Sydney, which is funny because somehow Sydney hair always has this look, or so I have noticed over the years. This one has extra long wisps at the front and a texture change insert at the nape of the neck and one side of the front. Very cool to keep on getting different looks from the same colours.

    The second hairstyle from Raw House is Adrienne, a beautiful updo style, but that is low on the neck and can be just your out and about after work look. I really love the styles I got to see at Raw House and they also have an item in the Chic Limited Event. The store also has Male hair, and I urge man and woman to take a look, and definitely follow the stylings of Jay Khaos…I got to talk to him for a bit last night and he is a straight up guy, that has a lot of passion for his store, and I look very forward to styles to come.

    The undies I am wearing are from Somnia, also at Chic Limited and so adorable fun, they come in great colours and I love how they look mix and matched too, for that undecided look. Showing the new Sweetheart Skins by Gala Phoenix of Curio. This face is a softer look, but still very diverse skin than the recent Jasmine, with more make ups that are for every day wear, but not to miss out on the Valentines oppurtunity, there are a few combos you will love, the jealous green eyeshadows and the lovely blends of deep pinks and red lipsticks, it all comes out beautiful. DEMO DEMO DEMO.

    Themed skins are not that common with established skinners, but Gala Phoenix always has such a knack at incorporation both a themed look and a regular every day look for Gala lovers. The make up is incredible, and the gloss as usual on the lips is superb, but it is the asian look that will have many an asian girl or lover of asian looks squeeling with glee.

    As usual this skin is shown on my shape, so you can see that even with no body tweaks at all, it is still incredibly asian looking, so if you have a no mod shape you are still good to go , but of course DEMO DEMO DEMO. I was considering doing the whole Geisha kimono thing, but then was feeling a bit wilder and went with this remorseful killer look. Because even though I just killed dozens of people – they deserved it of course – I am sad that I had too. Actually my Prince Mel helped by providing me with a gorgeous Katana to hold onto, actually no transfer but with the power of edit, we were able to line it up right, and the Olice Juice pose with a bit of animare tweaking came up just perfect, it was actually the pose that made the image come to mind.

    Often is the case with poses, and I do often adore how completely different ideas can come to mind than the pose was intended for. They may create a set of la di da dancing poses and I see someone reaching for a jar of peanut butter in the kitchen, hair in rollers and family waiting for their toast at the table. It is fun to find more out of what can sometimes be limited.

    The Gala skin will be out sometime later this week, so keep your eyes open for that release.

    What a day for newness today has been. The hair from LeLutka was a surprise as we had all been awaiting the release of the FAME shoes and legwarmers, which I have been teased all over the place this past week. I really love the professional style of them, mixed with a more modern and European use of colour and style. I have these shoes in plain black leather in RL, and I have worn them so often for different reasons. Definitely impressive job interview shoes, especially for fashion retail, they say you know what is what, and yet you also know you will be spending a lot of time on your feet, the sturdy heel and supportive shape are integral in the style.

    The leg warmers come with , but are an option, as they are separate attachments. The legwarmers are texture change, and you have a solid or striped option in those, they are so pretty structurally that I can see them becoming the go to warmers for months to come. Now as I said the hair was a surprise, but when you see the names you will probably guess that they wanted to keep it as a surprise, and that is so nice. I actually saw Willamina who I am guessing they were named after in the store after the release, and Gorgeous is a no brainer, it has to be after GoGo of JuicyBomb so the colour was an easy choice too.

    The use of the same bangs for a few of these styles was awesome, the pulled back twisted pony is marvelous and totally looks like a pulled back version of the other two, and I have discussed that in the past, that often this just enhances the reality of it being your own hair, rather than extreme changes as many of us do lol.

    So then after all that to find out that Gala was about to release new skins called Ice Queen, and not only that, but there are lipstick and eyebrow tattoos in blonde and black available, fingers crossed that they will seperately purchaseable as she keeps her tones so precise it would be awesome. I can see this skin being a development of all the begging for the Yum mouth and the recent Autumn face style, a really beautiful face and the most amazing glossy lips, they are incredible, I don’t know how she does them like that, I can only imagine she pours gloss all over a scanner, which would make for a very expensive experiment – so do not do that at home .

    Marni’s Eggs are brown

    YumTra

    Years ago I did a post that contained a skirt. Not an ordinary skirt, and not even a girls skirt, but none the less an amazing piece that many I know ran out and purchased…it was squee worthy.
    Today again this skirt has those same qualities, it is designed for men, it is an amazing structure of prims and mesh, and if I could have it in more colours, I would probably wear it all the time. The little shirt jackety blousey thing is so cute too, and thank you to Lexi from Stellar for coming through with a nice tshirt for under so that I could bare a little tummy.

    The Yum skin from Gala @ Curio was a perfect choice for the look and wonderful hairstyle from Maitreya, and with the Moxie shoes having the built in socks, it had that western/eastern meeting thing of socks with geta. I am so loving this look…so don’t be surprised if you see me in it at some stage over the next 24 hours. Unless of course I get motivated to do more blogging.

    Pony Play – Sanu, Gala, TRUTH, House of Munster, Essentia, Aitui

    A few weeks back when we were in the process of building, Ashia Tomsen of freestyle and Inventory Episode came a calling. We were talking about fun and fanciful items, and she got all excited to show me the then soon to be released Dark Stripes Unicorn set from Sanu.
    Pony
    As soon as I saw her putting on the pieces I squeeled PONNNNNNNNNYYYYYY. No not pony, Unicorn, but it can be a Pony :P. We declared there and then that we would do a post on this set together, and today is the day. The items that we have on, are a compilation of the Dark Stripes Unicorn set, and the Dark Stripes Unicorn Silks. You can buy these items seperately, so if you aren’t into prancing as such, then you have a wonderful prim silks set to lounge in.

    Now I need to warn you, this set comes with no texture layers at all, so you will either wear the prim modesty layers for down below, or be a kinky prude, and wear panties. Becuase Kink is the New Chic don’t ya know, all the cool kids are doing it,, snortles.

    The silks set is so lovely, and all sorts of options to make prim wear easier, Sanu has layed out the top in a variety of sizes pre done for you, as well as having them all fitted with resizer scripts, as all the pieces come that way, it is a case of click and + or – YAY. There are also different length skirts, and they are just so pretty to wear, again as I said you could so totally do the silks set solo, whether it’s your regular form of wear, or you just want to feel all prettyful. Isn’t Ashia prettyful ♥.

    The Unicorn pieces, and yes there is a horn there – but we were playing so hard at being Pony’s I think we both forgot we were supposed to be Unicorns lol – as well as a variety of different tails, and the adorable hoofs, that come either cloven, and or bow legged. All these considerations in this set show me that real consideration for those that live this lifestyle was taken into consideration, as well as the fun in which creating such a fun pack would be.

    Many other colours can be found in this set, the fat pack is HUGE, and again all the pieces can be used at different times, for different looks. The Dark Stripes Unicorn set by Sanu also has a collar, with a built in Pony Ao, that puts your hands in the correct position and allows you to prance, it is so much fun, and usually you have to buy those seperate, so thats a big bonus.

    The lovely Ashia Tomsen and I are both wearing the beautiful Gala April 2 Skins, her in the Petal tone and myself in the Sundust – more of those to come from me later today. The lovely hair that Ashia is wearing is from House of Munster, and is called Wicked, This is a great sharp concave cut with tips, House of Munster hair  is so much fun, you will need to keep visiting her store for more beauties like this one.

    The hair I have on is Caitlin by TRUTH, which were some of my favourite teen series books as a girl, and she had a Pony too, with Hair Rose by Essentia to finish off the prettyful. The ink adorning the arms of Ashia are from Aitui, and she wears these and others full time, so make sure you check out the tattoo line over there, they are really good work, and only get better with time as his store just grows and grows – MORE HAIR PLEASE.

    NOW you all have to go to Ashia Tomsens post over at Inventory Episode , because she has created such a beautiful image of us both together , where we take the Pony a little bit further.

    A beautiful NEW Skin to the ever expanding Gala skin line is Pin-Up, and as the name suggests it is all pouty lips and starlet styled make up that will have you panting, or possibly your partner will be.

    Slippery.....

    To start off the huge post of Pin Up Skins by Gala, I am wearing Pin Up from Stellar * Waves to Lexi* . The pieces to this set are extremely sexy and great fun. You can opt for with or without the flexi addition to the strapless top, that is tightly laced at the front, highlighting the beautiful shading of the skins. The mini flexi skirt is a staple in any Stellar fans wardrobe and the print on this one is fab. The bangle is also included in the set, and if you are a red/black combo fan I am sure it will be worn alot.

    All of the main pics in this post are featuring the Sundust tone in the Pin Up Skins by Gala, the tone is just gorgeous as are all of them, but I spent the day in the SL sun today so it was appropriate ;), but when I took all the tones pics further down I wanted to do another 50 pics, but I spared you :P. As before all the tones come in both a dark and light version, I am wearing the dark option and this is the Starlet 1 make up. I have to say that during this shoot, I kept having a Taylor from B&B kind of thought process with these skins, and hey to look one pixel like that woman would make me very very happy indeed.

    What I really like in these is the obvious lightness to the face, in such a way as to really show that you are in fact wearing make up, that there is all over coverage going on.

    The bodies of these skins are just as the last release, so beautifully shaded and the stomach is just gorgeous. The hair I am wearing, and yes again I am doing Hair all by the same store, I don’t want you wearing yourself out running all over the place 😛 , oh wait you will for clothes anyway lol. The hair is from Magika and is the Lucy style with an adorable bow at the top, slightly alluding to innocence until you travel further down the body.

    Slippery

    Ok so by now I know you are going OMG WHERE ARE THOSE BOOTS FROM ?, I know right. They are my new hotness bought for me by my Main Hotness Mel. These are the XPosed Boots by Fussy and these boots are all that and a bag of chips. A triple MUST MUST MUST HAVE!. They are sculpted toes and heel, with a hud that allows for skin change and nailpolish changes, these boots are sooo Sexy and I am dieing for them to come in more colours, and possibly leather options not only patent/latex…not that I have any issues wearing this kind of texture lol as you can see they fit into my wardrobe very smoothly, but PLEEEEEEEASE make me some more more more Satomi pleeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeease. Oh and I didnt meantion BOWS on the back lol , these are so yummy I couldn’t take them off.

    Also wearing the Solid Black Raincoat from Elixir, these coats in the past I have shown in the sheer latex version, I am really liking the solids as they allow for more mixing up with other items. The Slung Mini skirt is also from Elixir and is an older style that is really sexy and I really like the innovative way that Elixir have created this skirt to look a particular way, and also to work with the way prims work in SL.

    A New style from Magika is the Buns hair, really nice large buns, two of them at the back of the head with thick bangs sideswept at the front. This is the Jitterbug 1 Make Up from Gala in the Pin Up skin, and the red in these lips is smashing.
    Slippery.
    One of my favourite older items from BareRose is this Basket. A long time friend Luve had this easter of 2007 and we ran right over and got me one, we also went there in bunny avatars and acted crazy for a few hours lol. I ran into June yesterday and she assures me that it is still there, and even though it was created with easter in mind it is just so very Goth Lolita looking, and the skully black eggs, I mean hello stink bombs lol.

    The beautiful Dress is the Julia dress by Popfuzz Bamboo and it really is lovely, the dress comes in a huge assortment of colours, as do many Popfuzz creations, strapless with a light spray of floral embelishment across the top of the dress gives it that little extra in this tube style I adore for SL, no chance of it falling down.

    More beautiful embelishments are in the form of the Tiana Necklace and Earrings from DeLa, these are so delicate and beautiful. They come in various colours but also with silver and gold options available. The new releases coming out of DeLa lately are really stepping up into a new level as Kura has been creating with new software and has been spending hours per day learning her new methods, and to me it is well worth the sacrifice of time in world.

    The Apple Pie Make up from Gala Pin Up is another brilliant red lipstick option, one release with this many red lippy variations is just fantastic. The hair is the Olga style, another New release from Magika, I am loving the tamer styles coming from there lately, with the cute pins on the sides, Magika is giving their customers an all situations hair range.

    Slippery....

    The other week we had another one of our, ‘Fia needs to shop” days that ended with all of the girls spending money lol, how he puts up with us I don’t know…oh wait I mean me :P. Actually now that I look at it closer this pic has Fia all over it, starting with the I Bite Belt from Miau Haus, we went there back in Aug 2006 and bought this belt, I loved it then so much and still do.

    The Bloomers I am wearing are from Scribble, these come in different colours highlighting the black bloomers, but these are the black/black pair and they are puffy and cute as in a more modern way than previous bloomers I have shown. This post kind of made me realise that there are Pin Ups from all sorts of genres, I mean a Pin Up is really just someone you admire and find attractive, whether you are Male/Female, Punk, Goth, Neko, Furry or a fish its about that appeal and attraction.

    The bikini top is from Elixir and is their latex bikini which comes on all layers and is very handy to have. The Aggression ArmBands are from Digital Dragon Designs and are wickedly cool and actually match some other boots I have from there. The other fantastic accessories I have are the Open Handcuffs Necklace and lipring by Sable Rose, the lipring I have been wearing on and off for days it is so cool, and actually from a distance looks like vamp teeth lol. Incredible work is coming from Sable Rose lately and more wonderful creations to come.

    An old set of Ink from TRUTH is the Betty tat, I am not sure if this is still in the main store but even if it isn’t its a great indicator of the types of tats Truth does, also this is on not only different layers but different options, such as arms only, back only, back and arms etc. The hair is Acceptable by Magika and the Gala PinUp make up is the Pure 2 which is a bare make up and so cool to have that option with Skins like this.

    The bag that we ended up getting that shopping day is the BLACK CAT BACKPACK SMALL “Nekovampi Pet” by NekoVampi this bag is too cute, and if you click on it the cat meows scarily lol. There are three sizes in the bags that you get and the price is fab. I have been wearing this one and off for a few weeks and it is lots of fun.
    Slippery..

    This next dress is from SySy , a classic black dress with a beautiful large turleneck look. To give it a bit more purrr I have added the Wild Animal Print Belt, Earrings and Bangle from Dark Mouse. I have shown the Zebra before in these and they are just as fabulous in the Tiger stripe Copper, the style of jewelry and the belt are just fabulous for this look or any pants/shirt combo.

    The hair in this pic is Root Bear and for some obscure reason I keep thinking it’s called Sea Gull, don’t ask me why because I don’t know lol.

    The Pull Col dress is a great little number for casual to dressy looks, it does come in a variety of deep colours , but the black was so working with the accessories I couldn’t resist.

    Slippery...

    Yay for YaYa , this dress is fabulous and again by SySy. The colours and the shape of the dress is so fun and carefree. I love the vibrant and rich colours in the prints on these dresses, by far my favourite has to be the firey coloured one in the centre. All of them are swish loving fun, you know you do it in your head when you find that kind of dress, I cannot be the only one that makes random swishing noises to myself

    The fabulous hair is Riddle b y Magika which is a great tails style with full and fluffed out tails. Again one of the Bare Make Up options in the Pin Up skins by Gala is the Cats Pyjamas 2, lippy or not the mouths on these skins is hot hot hot.

    Slippery.......
    Slippery......

    These are all of the tones in the Pin Up skins by Gala, the body detailing is scrumptious and the tones themselves are just heavenly. In the frontal pic I am wearing the Dark option of each tone, and in the back view picture I am wearing the light. The difference is not a lot but just enough to make that transition you need on occasion depending on mood and weather.

    I am wearing the Luna Di Miele Lingerie by DP Serendipity, this is their first lingerie line and it is really lovely. The fabric is a velvet look with lace trim and detailing, I especially love the scalloped edged elastic look to the trim of the panties. The thong is beautifully shaped at the back to accentuate the curve of the lower back and hips, a fantastic first lingerie style.

    I decided to show Olga in more colours as its such a pretty hair by Magika :).

    All of the Shooting Poses used today are from Persona YAY Mylie Writer is back from taking a break and has brought with her some fantastic poses. These are fabulous for showing all sorts of items, especially the Fussy Xposed boots YUM YUM YUM couldn’t wait to finish typing had to tp Newdoll over to grab some in the laced up and buckled version that I swear was not there two days ago I swearrrrr.

    As with many there is much love for Maitreya, everything Beau and Onyx do is always so well planned and executed. There is something really inspiring about this latest release, and didn’t everyone just fall in love with the picks Miabella Foxley took for the adverts, those are amazing.

    Spring.....

    Ok so my first LOVE LOVE LOVE, is the HighSkirts …anyone that knows me, or reads my blog knows I am all about the System Skirt love, these are beautiful. Not only do you get the wonderful high waisted skirt with the belted top in all layers and all variations- such as resizable and not, but without the belt the skirt is also for me pure heaven.

    The last time Maitreya gave me this much system skirt excitement was with the release of the MAiiKI label collaberation with Iki Ikarus of Dutch Touch, so with that in mind I merged some items from the NEW Maitreya with the older MAiiKI, and that is how I ended up dressed for the rest of the day, because YUM.

    First off on the outter pics I am wearing the High Skirts with the fabulous Savoir Turtleneck, now these turtlenecks come with options also, you get long and mid length sleeves as well as sheer and solid , the sheer isnt overly but you will need a bra under neath. They are wonderful for mixing and matching, and the colours they come in will have you wanting to create fab looks and colour blends.

    Now as much as I love the belts and tops of the HighSkirts by Maitreya , I really love them without the prims too, sleek and smooth these are just fabulous, and when worn with something like the MAiiKI Belted top and the Strapless top – both are from sets, but definitely give you an idea on how much you can do with these skirts.

    The hair I am wearing had half the grid trying to tp into Maitreya on release, it is the Piper Hair a lovely loose pony tail.. I really like how its done in a way to show that the hair is loose but structured so well.

    All of the skins I am showing today are of course the Gala skins , this time the Breeze as shown in these pics, and the Lovely that will be shown as well. Both skins are part of the latest release from Gala@ Curio and as the last ones, the bodies and faces on these are very beautiful indeed.

    The Breeze is a very youthful and innocent looking face, gorgeous full lips and an adorable nose. The lovely has a more serious face, which can take some getting used to, but I think it has such a charming character to it because of that. All three including the Vixen come with the light and dark tones options, which is a great deal having a slight variation in your tone of choice. Two make ups in each, and the freckles as well. The bodies of these skins as I have said and shown in the past is just stunning, so make sure you DEMO DEMO DEMO.

    The Shoes I have on in this pic are the Verve heels by Maitreya, these are wonderful for that more sedate but still sexy look.

    Adding the Long Scarfs, another New item from Maitreya I was able to really flex my new powers today. The other night Siddean Munro of SLink was telling me about one of our tools we have in advanced that helps when wanting to colour match, I had previously given her the link to colourpicker so it was all relevant lol.
    UI
    If you go to advanced Menu at the top of your screen – if you don’t see it press ctrl, alt, D all at the same time.

    Then Click on UI and scroll down to Show Color Under Cursor…Click on that and the fun can begin.

    In the bottom right of your screen you will now see three numbers, in white and tiny so you have to really look for them. They are the RGB numbers for all colours in second life items.

    Anything you move your mouse over when this is activated will show you a RGB number.. so then when you open edit on an item and then the tint box you can input those numbers into it as shown.

    I had to then use the slider on the side, and add full bright to get the same purple but it was fun and it has so many uses. You do the same moves to turn it back off.

    Spring
    Spring.
    The Crushed Sweater Dresses by Maitreya are snuggly and again beautifully structured, you get options for the skirts of these dresses, one is a fuller sculpted skirt, the other is just the regular micro mini option, both look stunning. These will look great with leggings, or bare legged as shown.

    The boots I am wearing are the Billow boots from Maitreya, that coincidentaly match perfectly in colour lol. The Apple hair is a MUST MUST MUST Have for all, whether you are feeling the peace love and mungbeans baby, or you just want to be up with the current trend of everything hippie chic , then whatever reason Apple is for you.

    Spring..
    Feeling a tad bookwormis, possibly I am up to no good, with the fabulous Thighstrap Mother Book of Shadows by Dark Eden, these are so much fun and come in a variety of books and colours, with potions and earrings and all sorts of wonderful magical stuffs.

    The skirt is another New release from Maitreya in the form of the Jules Skirt , a denim skirt that again is sculpted with either a more overall fitted prim, or micro, with seperate belt option. I am wearing the seperate belt and micro option, I really like this upper part to the skirt giving it a really well finished look.

    The Mirli sweaters from Maitreya have always been a must have, so soft and delightful, you cannot go past the backs of these sweaters for added rawr. The shoes are the Sassy Wedges in Cherry, so cute and perfect for the Witch in training look I was going for lol. The lovely pinned back at the side hair is Faye from Maitreya and for those that love long and straight this is an incredibly realistic version of that look.

    The studious looking Glasses are SMP by booN, really nice frames and very reasonably priced.

    Points to my lips on the left and goes OMG OMG OMG it’s blue opal lipstick, every single girl I know in the mid 80’s had that exact lipstick, LOVE LOVE LOVE, it’s part of the Breeze skins line from Gala @ Curio .

    Spring...
    Spring....

    Cleo Skirts by Maitreya are the tighter fit lowrise style we all love, these are an older look denim and the addition of the fabulous Coin belts also from Maitreya makes them very fun to wear.

    Do you own the Jam Hoodies, these are again an older item from Maitreya and if you weren’t around when they were released, and somehow managed to not have them yet… do not let yourself down. These are superb , they were on release and they are definitely still now. You get the beautuiful soft sweater with the up or down hoodie option.

    Due to the Fashionable Relay Challenge I have been feeling the love for the Slouch Socks these are older than old lol, I even remember the release of these and exactly where Onyx put them at hinode. I am wearing them with the Desert boots by Maitreya, you get the options of laced or unlaced, which is fun to wear both one way or the other, or alternating them.

    The Jam Hoodies have seperate hoods sold with hair attached, that was just genius at the time, I felt like a little change and the Mayte hair fit underneath, the shoes are the Frenzy shoes again but this time with the banana heels which are so much fun.

    Spring......

    Spring........

    The Strapless Tops by Maitreya are just fantastic, the sculptie work and shape on these is superb…the draped textures are so pretty and the style just gives such a great look to your wardrobe. The batik print is wonderful for casual days, the colours are lovely and they look great with things such as jeans or with the Cleo skirts.

    The fab thing about these tops, isn’t just all the layers option, or the fact that each sculpted top comes in three sizes and is resizable, but there is also an AO version WOOHOO, poses by Maitreya in any form are super fabulous, but an item of clothing with a built in AO is again really thinking about what your customers will need to wear your clothing effectively, YAY Onyx and Beau.

    The Satin version are lovely with dress pants, or a long skirt. I am wearing the Wednesday pants from Lelutka with these, the fabric on the tops is so soft looking you just know how it feels against the skin.

    The Piper 2 hair is the same loose and pretty style, with no tail and more of a loose bun effect, great as an updo or semi dressy. The Jewerly is the Medallion set by Essentia, and the skin is the Lovely by Gala @ Curio, this is a skin that definitely as I said has character, and you will really want to wear it for a few hours to see it on your shape in all atmospheres.

    Lavish me with Kisses

    In my time in SL I have experienced Gala moments a few times. Little moments were it was all about Gala . I don’t mean big releases and such, but snippets of conversation, being tp’d to her older sim to give opinions on a make up, and of course many a time fashion emergency went to mentioning Gala toes as being perfection.

    I even remember consoling an old customer when she was so distraught that Gala hadn’t released new skins in a while, it’s funny the older you get in SL the more those memories mean, for me a New skin by Gala Phoenix @ Curio is like a pleasant time line that turns into a much louder affair.

    This affair will definitely be remembered. The NEW Skin line by Gala @ Curio consists of three beautiful skins, and I am only showing one of them today, the other two I will show soon after.

    Vixen

    This is the Vixen skin by Gala Phoenix of Gala@Curio , a few things about how this skin has been released.

    You have 4 Beautiful skin tones, Acorn , Petal, Moonbeam and Sundust. Each tone comes with 6 make ups in a light/dark option, now at first I thought that was brows, and was really surprised to find out that light and dark was in fact a variation of the

    tone.

    The other option you have is

    freckled which is just beautifully done on these skins, being someone with freckles RL I am not a fan of freckle skins with an abundance of make up, makes absolutely no sense to me whatsoever.

    With these skins the freckles are more across the bridge of the nose and lightly across the body depending on tone of course, but as these come as part of the range, they will come in handy for different looks I am sure.

    The other new feature is the light glossy lipstick and then a dramatic coloured gloss option, which makes it easier for those that don’t like to

    change skins too much. By having so many options in the one make up pack this is definitely a more bang for your buck kind of dealio, but let me say it again PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE give us a shaved option.

    Vixen.

    I know I say this a lot, I know I sound like some kind of maniac about

    such a whacko thing, but I want to be able to not stress all the time about what skin I have on , whether or not I can just wear a folder and not end up walking around and finding out that I have been showing parts of what no one should see in public ever.

    If all clothing makers suddenly stated that they would all end their clothing at the exact same part of the template as everyone else, then I wouldn’t care, but they don’t so I do :P. I also tend to think that we all – females that is – have different views on that area, and shaved/waxed it all ends the same, but all the other variations are just bizarro world…ok ranting again I know, back to the beautiful Vixen Skins.

    Vixen..

    I have mentioned the lipstick but not as yet the mouth, it is a beautiful full lipped shape, worthy of the best pouters in sl, and not just any kind of pout but that well practiced one with the upper lip curl. The overall lines to the face, and I don’t mean on the skin as such, but the details that make up the character of Vixen have a beautiful maturity that as a 36 year old I am very glad of.

    The Vixen skin by Gala Phoenix of Gala @ Curio ( it’s confusing to me when I hear people call Gala Curio ) has such a wonderful

    nose, and the eye make up is captivating. The tones and shading on the body of the skins is just gorgeous and I totally recommend either getting completely nakey or putting on your skimpiest beachwear – at home of course – and really checking out the bodies of these skins.

    Vixen...

    As you can see in the pics, the overall sheen to the skin is just delightful and sexy as all get out. The shading to the ribcage is really well done, and moves incredibley well with poses, the stomach is very trim and taught but not overly so, and the bum and collarbone is a dream.

    Vixen....

    One thing I seem to pay more attention to these days is the nails, the french polish on these skins is just gorgeous, and with so many beautiful rich colours in make up and clothing in SL the nails can stay bare and still draw attention when they are as lovely as these.

    Vixen is possibly intended to be the sexiest of the new line, but I think all three are, but again as I am only showing Vixen today lets focus on that. Each pic has the two lips stick options, all four tones are shown, some with freckles, most without…and two of the pics are the light variation of the Sundust Frex and Petal.

    The make up colours in this first range are an autumn lovers dream, the soft browns, lilacs and rich natural colours are bursting with flavour and richness, the glossy lips are fantastic and over all they are just beautiful, so make sure you DEMO DEMO DEMO them all.

    If the store demos aren’t enough to entice you, then join the Gala & Rita Design Announcements Group, right now there is a heavenly pack of skins awaiting your love and affection, as a gift from Gala, so make sure you say thank you ♥.

    Vixen.....

    Moving on to hair, Here Comes Trouble has done another big release today. One of the styles I am so in love with I had to wear it more than once lol. Dejay is the first soft wavey pony tail, a few loose tendrils and its so sweet.

    Fritz is AWESOMETASTICAL!, as a person with wavey hair that can tend to get ultra curly underneath if left to dry naturally this is the hair scrunchers perfect do. This hair is all hair, it’s shortish, medium, going into long, its bed hair, its sexed up hair, its styled and not styled all at once, I LOVE ITTTTTTT.

    The next style is the Mally hair, a lovely asymetrical style with very forward bangs, the Sasy hair (loves Babyboo) is a great uppy do, for your formal pleasures, but I am all about the Fritz.

    The beautiful lingerie I am wearing in all of the pics is from Popfuzz, the Lace Lingerie set which is the first three pics is the latest release in the Popfuzz Lingerie line and it is gorgeous, we showed some of it last week on Whimsy. Garters, Panties, Bra and stockings…it is all there and on all layers in beautiful lingerie colours.

    The Bra and Panties sets in the next two pics, are the perfect basics. You get straps and strapless versions of the bra and in my opinion this set could double as a bikini if needed. Lastly and because of the fantastic red lips in the :GP: Petal [Light] Vixen-Roxy 1 skin I went with the Lace Corset in Red from Popfuzz, I have said it many times, this corset set is brilliant, get one, get them all, you will love them.

    All of the shoes in this post are the Nana heels from Enkythings, my favourite Lingerie Shoes in such beautiful fabrics…yummy.
