No Regrets
The other night, probably for the 100th if not more time, I had a flashback to a regret. The regret was not buying something in Second Life, that ended up being a limited edition item. For the nearly four years since as it was a 2007 item, I have remembered it fondly and jealously…wishing that I hadn’t hesitated, thinking that it would be around another time, I also wish I had read the bloody sign that obviously must have said ‘Jewelry Fair item only ” or something like that.
So rather than scream from a tall building I took the regret to plurk, asking others if they also had purchase regrets of things they ‘didn’t’ buy, thinking like I did that it would be around long enough to get it ‘later’. I plurked the regret, even finding an old blog post pic from Fashion Victim Blog and it was even more beautiful to me in pic form, but I had never actually forgotten it, or even for that matter made it shinier and prettyer in my memories, it was exactly as it was.
On reading back through peoples responses I found that Chav Paderborn had responded with regretting to not buy a Canimal skirt, one which I knew of immediately, it used to actually be set up to buy right at the begining of her store, so you saw it every visit, and I had blogged it a long time ago. I rushed to my inventory and there it was, and even better it was transfer, so I sent it sailing in the direction of Chav with best wishes, to be able to fix that regret made me so happy.
Today I stopped in my tracks as a drop down appeared and my heart beat faster, and instant tears welled in my eyes, it was the Paper Couture set but not only was it the one that I had always wanted, but it was being given to me by an Angel, the beautiful and so generous always Milla Michinaga.
She is not only an exceptional blogger, designer and all round beauty, but she has always been so amazing to me. One of my fondest memories regarding her, is at a fashion show held about a billion years ago, and her and I were both there with many other bloggers and customers, it was so laggy while we waited that every so often one of us would crash come back resit and end up upside down in the corner of the sim – remember that delightful bug . While there Milla was being very cheeky and she tried to steal my inventory – yes I remember – and today she added to it in the most giving of ways, the set is beautiful, not only that, but it is something she cannot replace, something that didn’t loose it’s lustre and something I will always remember….thank you Milla you made me cry with such joy today.
So I was thinking, what do you regret not buying, because I would love to hear about it …..
Now for things I have that rock, these Magnifico boots I have had for ages, and blogged eons ago, but was looking at them the other day and thought, damn they are so incredibly textured and made, they need to sashay around my blog all over again.
Mixing them up with some great items from Nyte n Day, Decked is series that has the skirts and pants, tanks and long sleeved tops, I decided to incorporate those with the torn jeans and very very cute flexi skirt…adding to the overall looks the incredible new bodysuits from Royal Blue, these are done in a series of solid colours in varying shades of block colours, they are just wonderful for adding to any look, either under a top or over, or just worn on their own with skirts or pants.
Wearing the last and most recent releases of hair from Elikatira, the new Here style of a tight low back bun is going to be a favourite of many, I had a particular squeeling moment with Marni yesterday when it came out, it is such an awesome professional looking style, that works so well for those in business in SL. Frost is the style that was recently in a hunt, and of course everyone wanted it in all colours, so yay for that. Make sure you grab them all, no regrets ;).

Level Up
Today we had a visit from Meko, if you don’t know him, he is the adorable Pink Fox cubbie that created my Sasypants website format. He is incredibly talented, and we have missed him so much. He went and got a job part time while studying and is actually doing what he did for me for a job, which is just fantastic and we are so proud of him. So while he was here, Whimsy of course wanted to dress him up, and get him some new hair.
I threw Ploom into the ring because for one, I hadn’t been since the big rebranding – shame on me, and two the styles that Ploom when it was Deviant Kitties did in the past were always really cooperative for furries. We went and of course poor Meko didn’t stand a chance, because once Whimsy and I saw all the lush hair it was all over red rover. I fell in love 5 times, I actually could have bought the whole store, but I wanted the first time to be styles that went POW!
Not only did the hair go Pow though, but the skins that Whimsy located in the other room are just gorgeous. I blogged Deviant Kitties skins soooo long ago now, the skins were actually on sale before being discontinued, but I am sure I still have them somewhere and I loved the fancy make up and really different looks that Helyanwe did back then, and still now.
Now for me the nose is a little darker than I am used to shading wise, but it is so charming a look that it takes only moments to be captivated by it. The lips are too gorgeous to leave behind and each skins make up comes with two lipstick opetions as well as freckles – not shown. I am so glad there are options too, when it comes to the peacock and seaweed etc, having the option of lighter more nude like lips makes them not as fantasy and definitely a Must Have.
Back to the hair, Deviant Kitties as it was known before Ploom was a definite must stop shop for all your fantasy cyber punkish style hairdo’s, and it was awesome, but as the grid is forever changing that had to change a little to be more lucrative. Helyanwe has found her absolute niche, she has adapted what she was so well known for, into a more every day come as you are middle ground, and I for one and cheering from the sidelines. If rebranding needed a posterchild, Ploom is it in spades. Not only has her store and brand polished up, but Helyanwe has leveled up!
The shoes I am wearing in the first pic had Newdoll and I drooling at Shoe Fair. The Wood-en shoes are by Magnifico and at first glance they look like torture, and that in itself is enough to turn your head, but when you actually look up close and personal, you can see that the foot does not sit any differently than in your favourite heels, it is all smoke and mirrors and incredible detailing. I found the colour hud harder to use than most, but eventually I got there…the resizing is local chat then click the shoe, so make sure you read the notecards provided, or you will be at a loss to know how.
These shoes are real showstoppers, and I hope to see more inovative footwear like this from Magnifico. Definitely worth attending the Shoe Fair just to try them, because they are exclusive to the fair at the moment. Their asian styling made it a perfect fit for the latest dress by DCNY this lovely Jasmine dress that has such pretty detailing and comes in a great range of colours. In the back pic, my shoe porn, I am wearing the sexy sheer teddy from underneath the Fantasy dress from VR Foundry, very naughty and very sheeer.
The second pic contains the latest and a recent release of Surf Co shoes, all again at Shoe Fair. Emma always provides the perfect colours for her footwear, so it is just as simple as opening a folder to find your coordinating pair. The new belts by Nyte n Day are gorgeous and make a great mix match with the moccasins especially, they have that same american indian thing going on – and seriously if that is not pc to say, I don’t know an alternative I am Aussie remember.
Another absolute love affair I am having lately is with Pig, but then so is everyone, but it is because I always feel like I am finding my own little treasures there, it is like finding the perfect out of the way op shop that no one has picked over yet. The cardigan I am wearing is definitely one of those must haves, YUM.
Ok lovely ladies that all converted to Kirstens, for some reason it didn’t work for me tonight, crashed every time I tried to take a pic, but that is cool I went with Restrained Love instead, because it also has the add layers thing, but seriously it also has multiple attach, but without having to do anything but wear, funny part is though, it doesn’t remove the other, so I was wearing four shoes and two hairstyles at one stage lol. In the necklace pic, I have on three, no editing recquired, and as long as someone has the 2.1 I think they can see it ok. Anyway just sharing the love if someone is looking for lots of attachments. The viewer can be found on the regular website under the 3rd party viewers section in downloads.

blog – Ride
I may not be into bobsledding in a shopping trolley, or hanging out of the back of a car by my hair – ok I possibly made that one up, as I didn’t really ever watch the show. But I do think that if Johnny Knoxville was a chick, he would be such a Disco Diva.
This isn’t the first time I have been inspired to do the Johnny female version, and as long as people create hairstyles like this one, I will probably do more. This is a NEW NEW NEW release from HCT and I am so excited that my Boo is back making hair.
Signing up another store for What’s New SL I couldn’t not go back as me and grab some bits and pieces, one such item was this fabulous Glitter Dress by Onyx Wear. The accessories were a no brainer, especially starting with the Love/Hate rings from Addict, Kianna does such great accessories when you want to get your Funk On, and I never have to go far as she has a store here at The Deck lol.
If you have been looking for new sunglasses, definitely take a gander at Voyage by Kalnins, they have all the extras Kalnins are known for, different tints for the lenses, gold or silver frames, but the ability to change those in parts, if you want a bit of a mix. Some added glow and sparkle, and built in face lights, which you can thankfully turn off, it is just a shame the balls don’t go with them, because seriously rezzing (they are alpha I just mean when lagging ) with balls floating around my head is liable to get me beaten up in my group, and Mel will have a fit. We are definitely a no face lights group.
Other than all that, I love the style, they are pure knoxville circa Elvis fabulous. Ashia and I went and hit Plus hard last night, after a crashtacular visit to Fri.day for their sale, make sure you hit that. I love all the accessories at +Plus, and really hope she keeps making more…also if you are looking for shapes, she has a shapes store next door, and her put together ‘looks’ are really great.
I have wanted to bring out my harness for a while now, and the Zebra Slim 2.0 bodysuit was a perfect reason, SK Designs makes me happy, this combo came in different animal prints and wow the snake is hands down my fav, but snakes don’t wear harnesses that I know of :P.
This Harness is an oldie from LeLutka, Thora wanted to get everyone into Pony Play that season I just know it. Regardless of your kinks, this thing is just fun…for some reason when you split your face into parts with leather, it takes on a whole new dimension. You should see Newdoll and I swanning around in our VR Harness Gag’s by VR Foundry sometimes, it is a site I tell you, and funny as all get out, because we so cheat on the no talking thing.
The Envy boots by Magnifico are again featured at the Footwear Expo, and seriously if you haven’t tried the demo of these on yet, you need to get right on that. They are not only gorgeous front on, but the ruched sides are INCREDIBLE leather detailing , that must be seen…I even double taked when I saw them up close, really MUST HAVES. They do have an inbuilt clickable resize and ao function, with sounds, but all can be turned off thankfully.
