Redhead matches my mood
Having fair skin and freckles in Second Life is not an easy task, sure you can find skins with tans and freckles, or fair skin that is porcelain in appearance, but a true red head skin is a rare thing. But like all rare things in SL the more people shout about them they soon appear, talk about using your voice for good not evil.
Glance saw a need for a true redhead skin and this is just lovely, the Louisa skin has that redhead look to it that lets you stay unique to your colouring and yet adapt for whatever dress mode you are in. What I really loved is the fact that the brows match the Passionate Red texture of Fri.days hair so well that it had me excited to look non dyed for a change.
This isn’t my natural colour as such, I am darker but I definitely have this colour running through it thanks to Mum and her irishness…I am not as fair though, I used to tease her when I was little that if I rubbed her arms really hard she might get a tan. What I also love about Louisa is that she was made to be a redhead, not just an option on a skin line, don’t take that wrong I LOVE OPTIONS, I just mean she is a standalone skin, one tone, one brow option and that is it, you have to love her for herself.
The new dress by SySy is perfect for this natural feeling, spring styled and whimsical. You get the two options of skirt and I had to giggle that I look preggers on one of the pics, standing that way thanks to the DelMay poses. I pulled out the old HUB sandals for this pic, the colours and style were perfect…I wish I knew what happened to them as creators, they just seem to have stopped for the longest time.
With the very dramatic make up options that Louisa has I went with a new dress by LP Designs as well showing that kind of retro rocker montage look, I would totally wear this and rock out to billy idol and duran duran lol.
Lastly the Jori skirts and tops, I mixed these up because I can. It is such a great selection of colours in the Jori pieces, and the more you buy the more combos you have. On doing this with the pieces I thought it would be cool if stores did things like that as add ons. I understand it may limit sales in one direction, but imagine if the sash part, which is actually just the top of the skirt, was made in totally different palettes the original and sold separate as a pack, that would be so cool with so many different things, I guess it wouldn’t always work, it would really have to be something that originally does that on its own like these.
Make sure you get on over to 5th & Oxford not only for the Jori pieces but EVERYTHING because at the moment it is all 50% OFF EVERYTHING , I mean wowza, that is skins, clothes, LINGERIE OMG OMG OMG and the gloves that I just loves muchly, run, hurry , go , now , why are you still here?
The new poses from Long Awkward pose are adorable, even if my ankles would be in plaster eventually lol, great for cutesy shots like this, and it is great seeing all the fab poses being used from Pose Fair.
Make sure if you have been looking for a true redhead skin that you go and try the demos at Glance, the body on this skin is beautiful and the make ups have a nice range from soft to dramatic.

Purple shades of Grey
Honestly if it wasn’t for the generosity of the designers that send fat packs to be blogged, I would have a hard time doing this so called punishment purple week. But luckily they realise that we can go back to an item long after originally being posted, and feature a colour we may not have shown the first, second or third time, nothing like that added exposure to your brand lol.
It is also the easiest way to send stuff ….right click take copy of the vendor and send, easy done, no need to make up folders and stuff …I don’t know how people keep all that stuff straight sometimes. It is also wicked for making back ups of your vendors as singles for customer care and sending to an alt, but me and my belief on all designers sending everything they make to alts is a whole different post.
It is fun revisiting older items, especially as it is something I enjoy doing often, showing older things so they can become new to someone. Such is the case of the top in the first pic, and the bottoms in the second. With some newness thrown into the mix.
The pencil skirt by CoCo is new, and wow on the fabulous shading on the system portion…system skirts aren’t easy, and we are lucky to have some incredible designers who appreciate them, so they do them well. Purple and Grey go so well together, it is actually purple that I think does such beautiful colour contrasts, think Purple and Yellow, Purple and Pinks. It also gave me a chance to wear the lovely Ganked jewelry set – see I do buy purpley things – and these very cool new Homespun glasses, very cool shape and texture change options for frames and lenses.
Ok it’s a bit nuts, I am still awake and of course seeing everyone from your yesterday again already after they have slept, even though it is still my today, which is now your today, but was your tomorrow a few hours ago :P.
Ok so what was I saying ? oh yeah….the second combo again using grey and purple, is actually part of a set up top, from Crazy – fun store that one – and the bottoms are from BOOM, which I so neat because I was only thinking about BOOM earlier today and up they popped when I searched purple.
I did some tinting – YAY FOR MOD – with the beads and the armwarmers. The hair didn’t need it as the fabulously floppy bow in the Dorothy hair by Magika actually had a perfect plum in the texture change menu.
I am wearing the new skin by LP Designs, these skins have a cleavage that is made for a much larger bust than mine, but with the right outfits you can totally work it. I really enjoyed the fun purple make ups on both of these skins. There are actually three in the release , in two tones each and a handful of lovely make ups. DEMOS DEMOS DEMOS and especially if you like a skin that enhances your bust , these ones certainly do that and more.

Moonlight and Lemonade
Totally doing the mix and match thing with the top outfit, the style of the sequined highwaisted shorts allowed so much to be done with them. As before I really do enjoy the pieces that allow you to layer the upper half of the upper half with either older or as new pieces.
In this case I took the Disco highwaisted hotpants, added the Milaya top underneath, which is part of a strapless bodysuit as well. Then running around my inventory I found a flexi mini that fit just right against the textures to make it a dressy dress look.
One thing I have always noticed about Liberty Shinn of LP Designs, is that she does shiny so well. Her sequined items, or just her spandexy/lycra looks, they always look incredibly authentic and extra tight, which is what you want with your club/dance wear.
Also incredibly shiny, but in that good expensive hosiery way, No.9 Nylons has newness. The Cuban Heel pantyhose are silky and sensuous. They have a seam up the back so as to lead the eye up or down the body, very sexy.
The next set is all in one, which is fabulous straight out of the folder… but as it is made with layering in mind, you can change the black shirted portion for anything you like, dressing it up or making it a tad more casual dependent on the colour you go for.
Going for a more dramatic skin with the July by PXL, this skin always makes such a striking impression on me – not on me as in wearing it – when I see it. The darker tone is rich and vibrant with the right body detailing to give it a smooth complexion, sometimes darker skins can come off looking matte, but this one doesn’t. Glorious cheekbones, and the make up options are wide and varied which is great if looking for an all round skin line.
