It’s a healthy self interest
I have it on good authority, that to self love is to share the best of oneself with oneself, how much better than that can it get? When spending the evening swanning around in lingerie, you really get to enjoy the freedom that is Second Life. Both Newdolly and I went to visit Mel as he was rebuilding his store, and to his surprise we were both in lingerie…we decided to let him think that yes as all men predict, women do spend theiir time frolicing around in the knickers and gently nudging each other with pillows of the soft and fluffy variety – and no Mel is not that silly, but it was a good giggle for 2.3 seconds.
Today is Sunday, and on Sunday we will be having the opening as far as I know, of the Luxuria department of 5th & Oxford. What is Luxuria you ask? if you do not know then you best get on over there and see for yourself, or you can keep reading. Luxuria is the Lingerie department, that Roslin Petion has been working her delectable buns off on. Lingerie is something that she creates for not only the beautiful woman within, but for the manly man to admire and delight in. This lingerie is not just sexy layers to wear under clothes, but the true starting point of all that is woman.
It caresses, it entices and it truly intrigues, it is soft and beautiful and enough to make you fall in love with yourself first, and let the man come in second…and if your man knows whats good for him, he will always come second.
Gigglefits, I so want to leave it on that note, but lots more to talk about. The skins I am wearing are just gorgeous. The London skins come in lovely tones and divine make ups, the mouth is just hot hot hot. Glossy lips that have a definite petulant pout that we all find sexy as hell. I really love the shading on the skins the bum is great, especially for lingerie, and it is all about the DEMO DEMO DEMOs so be sure to grab lots. With Cupcakes though there are so many superb skins there, that if this one doesn’t grab you maybe others will, so plan to spend some time there.
New hair New Hair NEW HAIIIIIRRRRRR. Wow wasn’t today crazy with releases. Maitreya released some beautiful updo styles, and I am wearing one of them on the left, with a texture change headband, it is a lovely ballerina looking style, that will get so much wear this season.
Buy it all and have a marvelous weekend, I am off to get Newdolly some lashes like I wear, full prim no alpha, all win.

Candy Kisses and Floral Hugs – Riddle, HoH, Free Speerit
Loving the colours that are coming out at the moment. It is especially fun when a designer blends colours together giving you more of a pallette to play with. Such is the case with the Candy Kisses dresses by Riddle, they are fun and playful, and come with the option of either flexi skirted bottom, or the sculpted babydoll style.
I really enjoy both looks, and depending on mood you can do a lot with the accessories you choose based on colours you are wearing. The style on the bodice of the Candy Kisses dress is lovely, and as it comes on all layers you can mix and match the top with other items for a different look.
With the first option in the black, I went with Green features, in the Jade Jewelry set of earrings and necklace, and Army Green Hair Rose by Essentia . The Heel Strap platforms and Weave Black Everyday Tote by ETD add a little more of a professional look to the ensemble.
I am a bit in love with the using of the Slow Animations setting in advanced, to capture a walk this way add’s even more range to your picture taking. It was also a lot of fun watching my Spring curls bounce, this hair by House of Heart is just divine, as soon as I put it on I was oooo’ing and ahhhhh’ing over the beautiful large ringlets.
The second Candy Kisses dress by Riddle has a soft tones look to it, I was all about it as soon as I saw it was orange, but on it has more of a caramel tone. The pinkish colour banding I decided to compliment with the Pink Flower Bangle by Studio Sidhe which has delicate flecks of gold flower detailing. The Flower pendant also by Studio Sidhe is the more orange of tones with again beautiful texture work to the actual pendant then threaded through a leather strand tied off at the back of the neck.
The shoes by Pretties by JB are the Boho Chic Mules in toffee, so with the colours in the dress these were a safe and confortable bet, with a look for day time strolling and outdoor sunning, this fits the bill. Equally fun and comfy in style is the Bailey by House of Heart, a scrunched curls style that could be dressed up depending on mood.
The gorgeous skins I am wearing are the Kimberly Natural and Kimberly Reptile, the new release skins from Free Speerit, with its recently re-opened doors. A brand new build, skins, clothes, hair and poses. The Kimberly skin is as beautiful in execution as previous Free Speerit Skins with lots of options in body parts. The make up range is just lovely and there is a beautiful sheen to the skin that you will definitely notice once you try on the DEMOS.

Desire – BareRose
If you build it, they will come. Well in this case, if you beg and whimper, she will make it. June Dion of BareRose created this gorgeous dress called Desire, a deep red version of the earlier this week release of Libido.
I begged as soon as I saw it for other colours, and June made me so happy with releasing this newer version, the Desire dress has a different and more leathery latex look that the original. It is a touch lighter in red than my pic, as this is a photoshopped picture, but just for effect not any changes done to the actual shape and style.I didn’t see this post until now, but wanted to share an incredible look formulated by Grazia Horwitz of More than Meets the Eye HERE in the Libido, truly stunning look, very Uma Therman if you ask me.
If you ran out and got the Libido, or planned too, make sure you grab the Desire as well, it is simply stunning. You not only get the regular shirt, the shiny shirt which I am wearing, and the cut outs – the mannequin skin shown in the vendor ads has been released also at BareRose – The skirt comes of too reveal chap style bloomers with a sexy pair of thong panties underneath. This is SYSTEM SKIRT LOVE.
Wearing the Essence skin from Pulse, a new skin being released shortly, look out for all the big and upcoming skin releases and new build at Pulse. The Roslin hair from ETD is a lovely Uppy Do, and with a style like this updo’s look fabulous. The shoes are the Frenzy heels in Cherry from Maitreya.

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

Springing into LeLutka
The collection is inspiring, the creators are exceptional, and the way in which you wear any of these items will have you feeling that spring is truly in the air. The LeLutka release was a fabulous show and the looks you are seeing today were actually put together for the show by Mariya Nesiote one of the Stylists for LeLutka who did an incredible job. I will show a variation of some because thats just me lol, but for the most part they are exactly as we saw them :).
The Valentina dress is elegant and stylish. The ruffle is a beautiful addition to the style of this system skirt pencil dress, but you can wear it without and have a completely different look. The belt adds that little extra with a stylish L for LeLutka to show that you know where to shop for classy creations. The earrings that are a MUST HAVE as is all of the Jewelry by Miabella Foxley for LeLutka, but seriously the Hampton Earrings are to die for. Nana Heels you should all have by now are from Enkythings and look fantastic with this dress as they pick up the same shine in the black as the dress does.
Sophie hair by Maitreya is such a wonderful transition style moving from uppydo to casual retro creatively. This style is the one that nearly brought the house down. Marleen and Whimsy both stated that they want to be buried in this Gigi Trench, and I must say that they can, but I want to live in it as much as possible lol. This is such a vintage 60’s inspired look, I love the texture and shape of the coat, and its ability to be worn as a shorter top you will see further along.
The lovely tan/cream Kitty top is so soft and a definite staple, very well paired with the fabulous Chocolate Heidi shorts. The 100%Plastic bag was given as a group gift early yesterday and is just fabulous fun, the portfolio has me giggling all the way to my own shoot.
Miabella has done something with the Reese necklace that I myself haven’t seen before, she has added shading to the prims so that it actually casts a shadow on the body, very well done and the textures in her pieces are just gorgeous, all that experience in PS has totally payed off for those that are going to be big fans of her in world creativity.
I am wearing the Chloe hair by Maitreya in this shot because the cream cap just adds to the light tones in the outfit so well, the beanie is of course texture change on click , but this cream was perfect.
Who wouldnt love Green Zebra stripe, the Zeba Skirt is just gorgeous. Worn here with the Olimpia Sweater and Carla jacket, they are styled together but you will need to take the Olimpia collar off to wear it properly, or at least edit the prims enough so it fits realisticly. The coat is cinched in at the waist with the gorgeous Michelle belt, the accessories in this Spring 2009 release are just amazing.
The hair is Messy by LeLutka and the shoes are their new foray into footwear, making them now an all rounder, the textureson the shoes are beautiful and rich, these are the Shanon heels you will see throughout the post in carious colours.
Everyone oooo’d when this dress hit the runway, this feminine floral creation is the Flora dress, the plum pink mixed with the vibrant green is stunning and because of the lovely ribon trim can be worn as a top easily, as there are different options for the layers. As I said accessories are beautiful and the bags are so incredible through the whole range, this is the Glen top handle bag, a great hand held bag thats not too small you can’t fit all you need inside of it.
The hair is the Donatella style from LeLutka decorated with the Hair Rose in plum by Essentia. Another gorgeous pendant by Miabella@ LeLutka is the Florence, a Glass pendant with a metalic inlay, its really beautiful, reminiscent of a monacle.
When this outfit hit the runway it immediately made me think of Thora, this is totally her style.. Sinner or Saint is the question or is it just a statement, why choose?. The Masha pants and Tank Top are fantastic exploring wear, fun in the sun can be shielded with the protection of the fabulous Fedora hat, the hair I modded a lot under neath it is the Peta style.
The Sack Bag is a Must Have and if you are in the group a Golden Rod one was sent out yesterday with various other fabulous items, I am so in love with not just the bags from LeLutka but the inbuilt AO’s, I actually emptied one out of the bag and added it to my other handbag AO also made up of LeLutka bag poses and walks so now I have a left and right, I am planning a tutorial on that shortly.
The Jewelry is the Drop Pendant and Earrings in Mayan, and the fun and fabulous Cuff bangle in Lime by Miabella@LeLutka, so delicate and so many beautiful colours to choose from. Korina Ballet Flats are so sperbly textured you would swear they were velvet soft.
This isthe Lotta Top, a gorgeous sculpted top with a beautiful one sided straps look. The fabric in this top is just gorgeous and bring sthe whole look together beautifully. The jeans are the Mischa jeans, cuffed bottoms giving them a very cool old school look. The Wooden Bangle 2 and Wooden Cuff with the Tate Hair all give it a hippie chic feel that is very well established with the Love Junky Logo across the leather label on the back.
Not part of the collection already styled is the Olimpia Sweater and the fabulous Mona Jeans skirt I couldnt resist. Again using that fabulous Michelle belt to cinch it all in and add a little bit of the soft tawny colouring that is finished up with the Shanon shoes.
Silver hoops by Miabella are always a girls best friend, and these are dangly ones that don’t put the hoop through the earlobe but actually just rest nicely hanging from the hook, such lovely detailed work. The hair in this pic is River 2 by Maitreya.
I adore, love, cherish, and wish to live in these pants. They are the Olimpia pants and so far I have three pairs and want all of them. These are the perfect yoga style pants, they are full flare and just so gorgeous. The top is the Mila top and again sculpted and so pretty in the tiered style.
Another fantastic casual day look, with the perfect Sunglasses which I also love and there are many colours to choose from in the store, as well as the Cuff bangle, Sack Bag and Diamond Shanon shoes, finishing off the look with the Mary Kate hair by LeLutka.
Another incredible dress and in such a stunning green is the Lea dress, now everything shown today comes in a huge array of colours, so even if you don’t like the ones shown make sure you look to see what other ones are available. The Lea dress is actually so beautiful as a top also, I was wearing the top to this one with the green Olimpia pants and the look wonderful together.
The sculpted top needed a touch of fitting for me at the breasts, but edit linked parts is your friend, or use the resizer script like I often do in a copy version of the top, so you can do minimal changes at a time. The scalloped bottom to this dress is just wonderful and it flows around you so well with movement. The Hair is Eva 2 by Maitreya, the Eva styles are must haves for sure.
There is something too fabulous about high waisted shorts or pants, in this incidence its all about the shorts. The Michelle shorts are just that kind of fabulous, in such wonderful soft pastels, but the selling point has to be not only the high waisted look, but the perfectly cure contrast colouring on the arch at the bum, alluding to definite perkyness.
A wonderful way to get the most out of the Gigi trench coat is to wear it as a cropped tied up top, and with this ensemble it is just that, whether with something like the Silky Shirt underneath or without. The hair is a Electra and the lovely jewelry by Miabella that compliments the style and the colours is the Grace Pendant and Earrings.
Another show stopper is the Simone Dress, the perfect frock for spring, the dresses texture is like spun sill and the lovely style is just reminiscent of walks along the beach and sipping Pina Coladas on a deck at your favourite seafood restaurant as the sun sets in the distance, ahhhhhhhh. The Glen Top Bag and the Shanon shoes again perfectly accompany this look, adding the beautiful Mayte hair by Maitreya to the mix.
The talented Valena Glushenko has incorporated alot of elegance into this collection with a stunning assortment of Gowns. The Maria Gown in Violet is just gorgeous, a bit of tweaking needed by me for the top and the waist sash but nothing painful, the only labor intensive part was by choice, making a copy of the top of the gown and reattaching to the spine so that I could wear the delicate and so lovely Cluster Necklace and Earrings by Miabella with it.
The stunning silhouette this gown gives is just wonderful, and as an overly appreciative member of the audience said, a Perfect Bridesmaids gown. The Piper 2 Hair by Maitreya and the White and lavender Hair Rose by Essentia finish it off so well.
The finale wouldn’t be complete without the Wedding Gown, and this one takes the cake.The Odessa Wedding Gown is INCREDIBLE, sculpted roses underneath a tulle layer, if you have seen Sex in the City this gown should have been in that movie, it is that perfect. With the gown you get the lovely Lilys and an option to have them connected to the skirt as one or seperate which is very handy indeed. Wearing the the Nahla hair with this gown and the Beautiful Silver Hair Rose by Essentia which I actually have the matching wedding boquet of lol, I am ready and waiting – dodges the shoe Mel just threw at my head 😛 just teasing you ♥.
I know you thought that was it, but I couldnt finish without talking about the Skins worn. They are all the London Revolution skins that come in many tones, but I was wearing the sunkissed through out the shoot. The make up is beautiful and not too overly dramatic unless needed to be, the shading as usual is lovely and the face is just lovely with its full lips and expressive eyes.
All available at LeLutka there are 48 skins being released and many are being released in the Mens section also, I am only showing the backs of the skins in other tones today because I didnt want to change out of my Olimpia Pants in Black lol.
DEMO DEMO DEMO.
All of the poses today are from Long Awkward Pose, and some of them are the love bloggers pack which is great for minimal movement of the torso, fantastic for vendor pics.

Spring into step
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.
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.
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.
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.
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 .
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.
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.
