Tummy Techniques
It has been a funny week this week, so much going on in the land of the Avatar, but there has also been more of a worker bee buzzzzzz, silent but building as people from all over are doing their thing. That’s how it seems to me anyway…I know we have been working hard on Hair Fair stuff, and Another Fundraiser is ending on the weekend, Project Fur is about to begin and Pacific Crisis Fundraiser is on until the tenth.
The skin I am wearing today is one of the Another Fundraiser II skins, this one was donated by Fishy Strawberry and is her own skin base combined with some highlights from the Sezmra skin. Not only did Fishy Strawberry do this skin for 50L at Another Fundraiser II, but also a pack of make ups as add ons that are just amazing.
Another contributor to Another Fundraiser II is Stellar, and while setting up her skins I was totally perving on the new skirts Lexi recently released, they are booty fabulous, and the plaid print comes in a great range of colours. The fact that the colours also went so well with the New Fringe Cowgirl boots from J’s was just a bonus. I haven’t been able to take these boots off since their release, they are so fantastic, and the fringing is amazing, flexi prims are not an easy task, but to get them to move in such a great way on shoes is a huge undertaking.
The leather work on these boots is just wonderful and the colours you are used to from J’s are all there, I especially like the squared off pointed toe look in these boots, very true to the style. subtle but there.Gawk released these really adorable baggy sweaters, I love a good cropped sweater, it allows for some fun layering, or to show off some of the incredible work our skin makers do on the mid section. This one is really cute because of the sculpties giving it a look that says “I could pull this down to cover up more, but I am not gonna”.
Another firm favourite in latest releases is the Follow hair from Elikatira, this style is a long hair lovers dream, but with the beautiful behind the shoulders draping that allows all avatar sizes to enjoy it, it is really simple in style but so very pretty. You can even try the demos on in the luxury of your own home, due to Elikatira being on Marketplace .

Five and Flirty
New hair, New hair, such a fun way to start any day…reminder that Hair Fair is coming July 2nd to 15th so stay tuned for more info on that.
The five beautiful styles of hair I am wearing today are the latest from LeLutka, they are such different and yet believable styles, that you would think one could become another with the help of some good product. The other exciting thing about them though is that they have ROOTS! darker texturing done at the top of the hair to show a more natural look, you can see it in the demos, and it is divine.
I had some fun styling the looks to go with the hair, a little bit of country, my church going school marm look which had me in fits and terrorising Whimsy and Newdoll, my girl on the go look, followed up with night time fun and end of weekend beach look. I love having fun this way, it is what makes Second Life Fashion so incredible, and blogging so awesome.
Three of the backgrounds came from the Second Life Stock Images Group, I am so addicted to using them now and making more, you should definitely try it.

Belt Up
Skin Fair is in full flow at the moment, the amount of people visiting is huge, which is so great for all involved. You still have time to get over there if you haven’t and grab as many if not all the demos you can. I also heard that the Skin Addiction Group in world has a lot of the demos in their archives of notices, so you can also go that route and plan ahead.
Firstly though some wonderful new boots from J’s are the belted ankle boots. These come with the option of belt on or off and to my surprise the colours of this release are unlike any I have seen before from J’s. I mean get a load of that hot pink, wowza. J’s has made these for both alpha viewers as well as invisi prims options, so yay for wearing with pants with prim cuffs.
These look so fierce with my mix and match ensemble from Glam Affair, the Nero collection from a while back, pieces that I haven’t shown in the past, but look awesome mixed together. The pantaloon like shorts are so cute too, I really like how versatile they are. I am really glad that one of the sets had the black pasties on tattoo layer as well, so that I could be a bit more conservative under the lace undershirt. This collection is so cool to pull to pieces and make new and fab looks with.
Of course it all looks wonderful over the Mary Skin also by Glam Affair and at Skin Fair. The make up options are divine and so many options in the skins pack. Blush tattoos, eyebrow colours and hair base options, so much included. There are many gorgeous tones and it really is a beautiful skin, so remember DEMO DEMO DEMO.
Three new uppy do styles from Exile, a formal do, a looser more casual uppy do, and this incredible bunches of buns look that is so fun. I am showing off the different tones and hair with the lovely Cynful kini’s in other colours not shown before, and I have to show much love for the green.

Flicky Flicky La La
Bring on the Mod Squad, seriously that is how I felt as soon as I layed eyes on this beauty.
The latest Belle dress from Elate is just marvelous darlings, and what better way to show off your sexy legs, than with knee high boots, an expanse of skin and this beautiful retro fashion. The fun thing about the dress is it’s ability to look both casual and fun, or sleek and dressy, it will all depend on the accessories, boots/shoes and how you flick your hair.
Speaking of flicks – see how I lead you right there – the new styles from Exile are scrumptious. The Nyx hair is amazing and Lake I really would love to have in a hat hair combo. Kavar as I have said before, really levels up each and every time he releases.
I could see wearing any of the colours of this dress, to christmas parties and the festive activites bound to occur over the coming weeks, the colours and style are perfect for it.
I made another backdrop background in PS for this post, and am adding it to the Flickr Group Second Life Stock Images, so I hope someone finds good use for it :).

Gingerbread Kisses and Candy Cane licks
New New Newness. New shoes are always fabulous, and even better when it is new boots.
I was so excited to find out that J’s has released a brand new boot style, very nordic with the fabulous knit socks, but it is the clog style boots that are just divine. Perfect leather, and wonderful leather colours as usual. there is a non knit option in the scripted menu, which means if the nordic socks aren’t your thing, then you can wear your own, or without.
Still doing that mix of looks, what with it being hot down here, and all the clothing being released is for colder weather, but luckily there are still adorable little skirts that have been created in heavier fabrics, but short in length enough to still show off the gams. I love these porcelain skirts, so sexy and cute, yay fishy strawberry. I am wearing the Jane aviator jacket again, but this time without the lower sculpted portion, because the finish to this jacket is superb, like woah, so it is totally a jacket on its own. The L’opera bodysuit is a must have item, also from Fishy Strawberry, plunging back, high front with shoulder pads to boot.
I am wearing another of the latest YS & YS Skins, this time Regina, and I opted for a freckles tattoo from one of the other skins, that actually works so well no matter the tone. Great idea to copy and paste all your tattoo layers that come with other skins, and bundle them all into one, spend some time playing around with them and see if they are interchangable and then folder them into ones that are, and ones that aren’t. Much easier than having to find them when you think of them.

This waif shit has to go…Quote by Whimsy Winx
What is the reason for the name of the post you ask, well it was kind of a discussion about the shapes that some designers choose to use as their own. Then building their items on their shapes, and if the items are no mod, then resizing scripts make the item bigger all over, when sometimes it is only a small stretch in one direction that is needed, thus ruining the aesthetic of the whole outfit. Many designers do take that into account by providing more than one size, but in reality it would be nice if the designers considered more the shapes of the people, and had a builders shape so to speak, much like hair makers have always kind of adhered to the one size concept, and shoe makers as well. But then again, we would prefer mod, not scripted in the first place.It is kind of funny, because with the teen grid merger only a month away, the sizes of residents are going to apparently drastically change. I remember talking to Asuka Martin, the owner of Dernier Cri about that once a long time ago, and she said that one of the first things she noticed was the insane heights of us over here on the adult grid. I for one am tall RL, so have argued to keep my height as it is, because I am not amazon in stature. But I have definitely noticed that many are shrinking down over the past 12 months, which kind of makes me wonder where that will leave the tinies and kids…do they even have kids and tinies in the teen grid? It is going to be an amazing transformation grid wise, and I for one cannot wait…I only have one wish and it might seem silly to most, but I kind of wish that kids couldn’t talk in IM. I wish that was a safety measure that LL would put in place, I know that keeping them to PG and all that are good steps, but they are pretty much only saving them from visual adult content. Anyway, this post wasn’t supposed to go off on some rant from sizes to mergers, I think it was the redbull.
I love that with the help of layering, and of course all the fabulous extra layer options we have now, that you can still make fabulous use of dresses that may have been designed with warmer climates in mind, but add some wool tights and an incredible faux fur coat, and you are in winter wonderland. I am feeling so much love for cowboy boots lately, and tonights episode of Hellcats didn’t help. The fringing on the ones from J’s is a nice soft touch. The jacket is from Aoharu, and you can wear it long or short, I opted for short so you could see more of the great Hush dress from SySy’s.
Yes as corny as I am, even I didn’t realise until after the pics were done, that my skin is from YS&YS, and my dress is from SySy’s. The skin is Sierra and as usual, all the great options and incredible make ups, they really have come back with a bang, and hopefully a much needed break.

Your Mumma wears army boots
I watched an incredible movie the other day, the idea was that you got to know exactly when you would fall in love with your soul mate. The movie is called timer, and you would think it would be straight forward and all that, but it was amazing the different things that could go wrong, or right as the case may be. What would it change in you ? the idea of knowing that something had a timer on it, wealth, happiness, love…would you be reckless until then? would you be a lazy moo and do nothing lol. All interesting thoughts really, fun film, you should watch it if you see it around.
Speaking of movies, Whimsy and I went to the unveiling of Harbinger last night, it is the latest movie by Phaylen Fairchild, and it is a totally different direction than Divas. This movie was scary, unfortunatly since last night it has gone private on YouTube, but probably just for some last minute editing. So you should look it up when you have a moment and want to be scared out of your wits.
Anyway, on to not scary things. The new boots by Gos are GTFO. These boots are great hiking style boots, with wonderful texturing features, as all Gos items have. This time though it will only be the fat packs that allow for combination changes, otherwise it’s a set look per colour combo. They were a perfect accompaniement to the latest items from Royal Blue, have you seen the new Royal Blue store? it is fabulous, a floating flagship in the sky, you really need to check it out, especially if you have been wanting some of her older items from her leLutka range, as they are all now in her outlet section.
I am wearing her What’s Up Spock leggings ( Marni has the best names for things) with some upper items from Aoharu, the off the shoulder top is just divine, and the simple leather jacket is going to get lots of wear in the future, it is stunning work texture and sculpty wise. The beautiful bag I am wearing on the left is a latest release from Ondyra Originals, the Marina Shoulder tote, such lush colours these come in, and the weave is great, they come with three options for wear, and the colours go with the shoes and clothing also recently released.
In the second pic I am wearing the latest Lounger sets from Fri.day, so fun and comfy, so much so that I went shopping in the sage and even then onto the movie premier in it last night lol. They all come in matchy matchy colours and prints, but you can of course mix and match like I did. The colours are also lovely for extenders under even shorter tops, as they come on all layers. After the movie I had a great time on the “Reap the Wild Wind bookpile’ created by W.Winx (which is of course Whimsy ) this build is amazing fun, and brings you back to those days home sick from school, when you could turn your imagination into the most wonderful of adventures.
You will of course have noticed all the beautiful hair I am wearing in this post, it is all by Elikatira (previously ETD) the styles are just beautiful, and luxurious in texture, I would be so hard pressed to find a favourite, I know that one in particular has been seen sported by many, but I would have to say Vivid the bottom right in the grey is just divine, It has everything and more you can want in a hairstyle….so beautiful.
Which brings me to the last pic, all of this of course wrapping itself around the divine pale version of Mima by LAQ. This skin was released just moments before Halloween, and I didn’t have a chance to show it then, but I don’t think it should only be considered as such, as it has such wonderful make ups, and only two of the skins comes with blood, which can be used for art, machinema, halloween, costumes, or RP, whatever works for you. The tone is beautiful and I decided to bring out the adorable dress by Rotten Toe to do it justice, as well as The Corrector neck corset, that seemed to fit right in.
To even out the visual I went with the latest wings by Material Squirrel, these are so amazing, that Kala has gone on to create in sculpted form, what she has always done with prims, is a testament to the passion and education that Second Life inspires amongst its residents.
Enjoy your day, and if you haven’t already read the High Res Myth post that Mel did earlier today, you need to. HERE

Putting on the Crackers – Rebel Hope, Red Queen, Bebae
So, in my experience in Second Life, with work and play, one thing has always been a repeat request.
‘Does anyone know where I can get a female tuxedo?”.
Many of us have always opted for mens formal/business wear when coming across this need, and many actually are shocked to find out how hot we can look in mens fashion, but Rebel Hope has decided to go that extra mile.
The Signature Ladies Mini Tuxedo is a micro mini skirt, with crisp white shirt, satin vest in a beautiful soft pink finishing it off with a tails tux coat. There is black, white and grey as available colours. Each tuxedo comes with a pocket watch, pocket and handkerchief and a cute sculpted bow tie in the same pink.
I loved creating an edgier look with the straps from the Dark Eden Lilith set to my legs in the first pic, and garters and stockings from Popfuzz in the second.
This set is done on many different layers so the ability to wear it different ways is definitely a feature. Last week I went on a poses shopping overload, and got some great poses from “V” by Toko Voom, the poses are fantastic, going from artistic to useful with ease, I think I bought the whole store and I have used my favs in this and the next post, my favourites have to be the Glue poses which you will see in my next post. Right near them was also the Golden Delish store, another poses store I went to town on , and have had a ball with the great new additions to my VR Foundry Professional Posestand.
The hair I am wearing is Easy by Red Queen [ rQ] , Easy has a lovely pinned back and innocent look, amongst all these large dread style locks, pulled back with a thick band and let to fall loose, great hair for the heavy hair fans.
Recently Bebae released Delilah, a new skin range in a beautiful face and body. The make ups are ranging from heavy night looks to light days, with some fantasy thrown in for good measure. The body of this skin in usual Bebae fashion is beautiful worked, with bare down there – is going to hum playschools theme all day now – DEMO DEMO DEMO and see how Delilah looks on you.
The full bottom lip, and the detailed eyes make it a definite all rounder in the skins field. I have been showing skins faces without lashes lately so you can see the extra lengths our talented skinners go to; to make sure you have the loveliest of faces.
My partner Mel and I had a talk about a Permanent item that was for me to always think of him, which i do anyway :P. But with all the changing I do it is often hard as many know to keep valuable and sentimental items on, I looked at all the attachment options, and for me it ended up being my mouth – funny how it doesn’t stop moving RL but in SL it can be a steady fixture lol.
When he asked if we had been to Deviant Kitties yet as he was searching piercings , I said no with excitement and told him that having run into Helyanwe Vindaloo about 5 times in the last few weeks under bad circumstancesthat I wanted to spend money at her store definately so off we went, so thank you Helyanwe for my transition Permanent piercings ♥.
I had in the past made my nose chain, but that cuts across the face too much and can be a nuisance after a while, so after him tping me Deviant Kitties and him choosing a piece he really liked, then modding it to me saying no higher, lower, left no up a bit, then the next day completely changing it again…eventually Mel will make me one, he didn’t want to yet as I would probably not last it out, lol we shall see :P.

Sock it to me – Miel, Gala, TRUTH, DarkMouse, Bliensent + Maitai
It started with a glimpse at Cajsa’s blog post at It’s Only Fashion, that then ended up me unable to get over to the store. Then on the weekend Arabella came to visit us at The Deck and she was wearing a delightful dress/pants combo that was just too pretty to ignore.
On tping I was to find that it was the same store I had been meaning to visit, and Newdoll and I bought up most of the store. Since then Miel has joined us at The Deck for a spell, and now everyone is hooked. So much to our delight tonight they released their New Sock Factory items which allowed me to quickly add new pics to the already planned post, and tada this is what you get.
The Miel items are the perfect combination of staples,whether you opt for wearing the items as compiled on the vendor boards, or change it up a bit with other pieces, you will have way too much fun with the pieces.
The first pic I am wearing the Bo Lace top, this top actually has a lace collar, but I went without because I just love the wavey finish at the top hidden underneath. The tank style top comes at the moment in black and brown, and the back is incredibly detailed. Wearing some shorts from Twosome that I have had for ages and not yet shown, they are the Autumn shorts in grey and very cute.
Needing a little something around the hips, I went with the Efemera belt – wishes she would come back – by Storin, a lovely sculpted belt with a great buckle. The socks, oh the socks… I have decided I am going to rename this kind of sock to a Socking, it is too thick to be a this day and age stocking , but too high to be a sock. These definitely remind me of partially rolled down woolen stockings of the start of last century, and earlier lol.
The Lo Socks are to die for, and they did at the time only come in the black and the brown, and then later that night Miel gifted to myself, Newdoll and Ashia the New Plaid in black, oooooo we were an excited bunch, so much so we struck a pose in our newness and Newdoll took a pic and put it here.
Anywho, the socks are lovingly slipped into the 3 way Engineer boots by J’s these come with scripted options of up down, and different colours to choose from, its like a fat pack in one. Wanting to add a little more girly girl to the look, I couldn’t go past the beautiful and delicate Burst of Colour Necklace in Copper from DarkMouse, the jewelry and now hair from this store has just blown me away with each new release.
The Red Queen/rQ Crush hair is a semi latest release in the wonderful New build, the detailing amongst the twisted locks of this style is fabulous, make sure you try on all the demos, they are so much fun.
The next pic is the dress/pants combo that drew us in. The SF outfit by Miel is so adorable, with the softest looking fabric tightly stretched across the bodice of the dress, you could be in for some trouble if one of those straps tore. The tunic is just lovely and what better addition to the mix than a pocket with flowers, and I don’t mean embroidered or printed on the fabric, but actual flowers inside of it, it is so dreamy a look, but you do have the option without.
The drawstring leggings come with and the whole combo is perfect for a spring stroll in the sun. More beauties from Dark Mouse in the form of the Flowers are Blooming Necklace and Earrings, so delicate and beautifully crafted. Aradia is a hairstyle by TRUTH , a lovely loose pony tail that actually features a flower, that you can make invisible or colour change, I am wearing the Plum Hair Rose by Essentia. Sorry to say I couldn’t find any info on the bag other than Kotoricco Basket , and it was a gift, but you can see that any basket or bag would look fun with this outfit.
Speaking of bags, I got overly excited to find that June had made new Bellissima bags for BareRose, only reason I saw them was she set them out at The Deck, otherwise I would have missed the release somehow. These are fabulous, they come in a range of colours and you actually get 4 different ones in the pack, different places to hold them from as well as a bonus clutch purse, all for less than 200L.
The top is again the Bo Lace Top from Miel, this time with the CH Silver shorts, I coudln’t resist these at Miel as they are of course Grey and well just yummy. Adding to the mix the New MI Knee High Socks , these are so cute, prim topped kneehighs that have buttons to fasten to, they come in solid or plaid as do the NEW LO socks in more colours, I mean this is just a SOCK explosion, that you will not want to miss out on.
I love the plaid versions in both styles bunches, but seriously that ribbed waffle effect that the solids have as well, IT IS TOO HARD to not be able to wear both at once lol. I cannot wait to see more incredible designs from Miel.
So much stunning jewelry today, the Art Deco Onyx Necklace, Belt and Earrings are from Bliensen + MaiTai, they come with some great options, not just resizing, but also gem and metal change, and not just one gem but you get to change two different sections, so you can go all one like I did, or have a mix for more playful colour combos.
The flats are the Mina flats from TRUTH as is the Hallie hair, a ncie sideswept pony, that has a loose fit look to it also, he does that well with styles recently, that not too tight casual but classy look.
Recently Gala Phoenix of Gala @ Curio released the April skins, a skin that was all youth and innocence, but with a slightly fanciful make up line. Blending her usual two different tones and freckles options, with two varieties of each make up, the Gala skins have fast become a must have for lots of people and rightly so.
The full lips slightly pouted, and the button nose definitely gave a purity to the face. The make ups come with two variations of the same idea and the April Skins that were first released were a big win, especially the pure 1 and 2, as they were the two that were the most every day all wearable. But I think something happened, because April 2 came about, I suspect a much requested further line of make ups was called for, something that people had more choice in than the fantasy blends.
Seriously though I think more than just make ups happened, because DAD’s LOCK UP YOUR DAUGHTERS, April 2 could get you and yours arrested. DAYUM this skin is way sexy and wayyyy too pure at the same time.
The bodies on the April skins are the same as the last few releases, incredibly detailed – and I do mean incredibly – with such a divine cleavage for those of us that don’t like to look too lifted when it’s obvious we aren’t, that is one of my favourite parts of the Gala @ Curio skins, the fact that if you are wearing a shirt or top and obviously no bra, your shading and detailing between the breasts shows that, it is wonderful.
The make ups are wonderful as I said, and they do have such a freshness to them, so try on the whole store and find your favourites, and make sure you are wearing a low cut blouse or shirt, naked will not give you the same effect neither will a bikini, you really have to see what I am talking about clothed the right way.
The hair I am wearing in most of the skin shots is the Angelina hair by TRUTH , this is a must have, I am so in love with how it frames the face. THe Bikini is the LeeLee bikini from Artilleri, the follow up to my all time favourite Leo Bikini, with super cute ties on the side and in more animal prints.
Due to time I didn’t get in the second make up options in the Gala @ Curio April 2 line, so make sure you try them all on, and also really understand that the dark and light in the packs are actually a variation in skin tone, this is so that if you are feeling a bit in need of a tan you can go darker , and if you are feeling a bit chilly and want to snuggle up you can go light, this is a dreamy skin option, as many of you I am sure have actually gone out in a fit of omg Im too pale, or too tanned breakdowns and bought a whole new skin – not that thats a bad thing :P.

Tartan Power
Callie Cline is always up for some fun, and with the Tarty Girl sets it’s that and more. I love tartan, checks, plaid, gingham it’s all fabulous. The cute girly girl dress has an edge to it with the tartan in this case, and I really like the semi scoop in the boostier top.
One thing I did notice about the dress, is they don’t come with glitch pants, so make sure you have some sort of leggings or tights handy or you may just be invited to more parties than you want to be :P.
I am wearing it with another Callie Cline creations which is the Snow Baby Forever Sweater, these sweaters come in three different lengths with the prim collar, cuffs and actually a very scots like beanie hat – not worn.
The necklace and earrings are from Dark Mouse and are the Big Flower sets, stunning long chain for the necklace that is really appealing, drawing attention to the lovely scoop of the dress.
I saw Thema last night at an event and she had on hair to die for, I hadn’t seen that release from LeLutka and was so over there first thing today, only to find that with the new layout there were wayyyy too many styles I never saw released :(, I made up for it though lol. This is the Dianna style – not the one Thema was wearing – a beautiful smooth bun.
Wanting a bit of an edgier look with the tartan I opted for just the top, as it comes with variations with the dress. This is the Zippered top from the Red Tarty Girl- Tarty Party dress. I really like this as a top, especially with the zippered look, the pants I am wearing are fantastic Leather Pants from Adam N Eve, they come in lots of colours and the leather work is great.
Speaking of Fantastic, the New J’s 3 way Engineer Boots are INCREDIBLE! these aren’t just Must Haves these are more like, omg if you don’t own these you are bonkers. I am all about boot love, and especially biker/engineer boots. These are so well textured and the colours are amazing , but in the usual J’s style you do not just get one pair but numerous options in the one pair.
These boots are scripted that you get full up look, turned down look, and turned over 2 look, but even better is that you get to choose right or left as you do it, so you can wear one up one down, swap them around etc…that is a lot of looks with one pair and such a bargain.
The belt I am wearing is from Virus Co. the Scrap Mechanic just added a bit more fun to the look, it even comes with a hand held wrench as an extra with it, and is in a few sizes as well as mod.
This hair is the DJ style from LeLutka, another New to Me style which is actually a fab Unisexy style. The Leather Wrist Cuffs are from Sable Rose and they come in various leathers as well as other fun styles, they make a great addition to your edgier looks.
Lastly another mix and match look using the fun pieces from Callie Cline. The Forever Sweater in Brown is a beautiful shade for this time of year, I love brown mixed with other colours, especially like here mixed with pink.The sweater also has a second option for the collar, shown on the top pic with the scarf, Wearing also the beautiful Jeans Sculpted Skirt from Dutch Touch in brown, this skirt is lovely, the texture is great and the fit on the sculpties was easy. This skirt comes in other colours and the new seperates from Dutch Touch are perfect for coordinating with each other.
Recently when Newdoll, Whimsy and I went on our last big shop we ended up at Jaywalk, and while I was praising and ooooing about the fantastic socks there I realised there were many I didn’t own, so fixing that these are the fabulous Kelly Socks. These are the 3way Engineer boots in another colour, these are so fabulous you really Must Must Must get them.
This last hair style is the Sasha hair, a fantastic concave cut from LeLutka, beautifully styled and covering one eye, it really is lovely.
Now about those skins, Bebae recently released Coral , a New skin that is just all of the things we already love about Bebae and more. Beautiful bow shaped mouth in the glossy lips that Torie does an incredible job of everytime. I really don’t know how she manages to create such a natural gloss but it is definitely her fortay.
I will show more of this skin in the next post but as a glimpse the cleavage and shading on the upper body you can see is just beautifully orchestrated. Each skin comes with three eyebrow options depending on what colour hair you wear you have choice, choice is wonderful :). The make up in the Coral range is as superb as usual too, some rich and glossy looks combined with some basic looks for day to day wear.
Lastly and importantly 😉 they has shaved o/, lol. Remember DEMO DEMO DEMO.
