Tiana Tude
We were discussing E-Cigs tonight, it has been over a year since I mentioned them to Ashia and forced a kit down Whimsy’s throat. They are an incredible tool if you can’t just quit, I just quit two years ago next month, but I can imagine that if I had known about these then I would have become a vaper for sure, If you are wondering about them, and not sure where to start, this kit is recommended and looks good too 🙂 HERE.
Skin Fair starts tomorrow, less than 24 hours away, and Tiana is going to make her debut…
Tiana is the last Aere line skin from LeLutka, and the last of the three sister skins, first was Kit then Gem and now Tiana. Tiana is the rebel in the family, the kind of girl that doesn’t ever do the walk of shame, who spends that extra time in bed without a snooze button because nothing happens until she gets there anyway.
She is petulant and pouty and for reasons unknown always manages to get a cab, and never waits in line anywhere. I could go on and on, honestly the moment I saw Tiana I had this whole story line for her in my head, she is a total character, and she is awesome, a really perfect finale to the Aere line of skins.
I decided of course to rock it out with her look, union jack tank from Muism with my favourite cut off jean shorts from Tres Blah. I was all about the Dandy cowboy boots today too, kind of take charge reversal of ‘who’s bed have your boots been under’.
Whimsy had tp’d over to Ameries Naughty tonight and I tp’d after her, seeing these manties and bra I was instantly ‘Yeah Tiana would wear that ” and off I went back to take the body pics lol, in my cowboy boots still of course.
The Tiana pack that is going to release at Skin Fair, is one of the few that will be released over all a sneak pack if you will. Four make ups and a base in the pack, with all the usual fabulous extras, lashes, cleavage, hair bases, brow options in dark and light and eyebags. The other Aere skins are also at the fair and it opens at 3pmSLT tomorrow.

Ugg boot DNA
Over the years, well all my life actually…I have been a total American Fan, all the way U.S.A. Then you came along and tried to take our Ugg boots. Then the doona, that was just not on, seriously the only time in 38 years I have been cranky with you has been over those two all Australian items, you can have the hillshoist, I don’t much care – I leave my clothes on it too long and they fade – but to actually go out and try and trademark what has been ours forever was just RUDE. But we won them back, and I forgive you.Now those of you that have them, or have worn them, can never truly appreciate the Ugg boot if you aren’t, or haven’t lived in Australia for a long time. You can think you do, and you can get close to being right, but nope, it is ours and it is something that just runs through every Aussies DNA. For a start they went out from the mid 80’s until the late 90’s and you cannot convince a city dwelling Aussie otherwise. Indoor wear only was the Ugg, an expensive slipper, that allowed you to run out in the middle of the night and put out the trash when no one could see you in them. One night a house mate and I drove to the local chook shop for dinner and once out of the car I realised my feet were wayyyy too comfy, looked down and screamed, in the next split second there were two Uggs flying across the carpark because bending down too pull them off would have taken too long, I had to kick and flick and fast. If anyone had seen me I’d have died, and if anyone had been in the car park to see me retrieve them, I would have left them there forever.
But I cannot tell a lie, they do so have their practical uses, and now that it is ok to wear them in public again, they are great for ducking out to the shop because you just tore your last pair of stockings before a night out, so it’s a quick dash and slide into franklins and back to the house to put them on with whatever 6inch heels your going to actually go out in. I am not exagerating about the slide, Ugg boots and polished supermarket floors can be way dangerous, and super fun if you have good balance. There are some sexy looking Uggs out there now, and in SL that is no different.
My favourite Uggs of the moment are the ones by Bedlam an Aussie owner so true blue for sure, these have so many texture and colour options that they can co-ordinate with all your clothing, and even if you are frocked up for a dance, well depending on where you are, these are great for getting too and from without blistes because your new shoes haven’t been properly broken in yet. Speaking of frocked up, the second pic is me in the Queensland Party Frocks that are part of the Extend a Helping Hand fundraiser for our flood victims up there…these are by fellow Aussie Whippet & Buck they are so pretty and the fat pack is a steal, had to have it. The really pretty wold necklace around my neck is showing off a beautiful deep green leaf, and comes in both Male and Female options, also part of EAHH.
In the top pic I am wearing a mix of Mon Tissu, Riddle, Whippet & Buck and Fishy Strawberry, the Geisha belts from FS are so cool, they are an older item but do not date in their style and quality. The fun shorts by W&B are so cute, you can tell it’s summer down under with these being released, and even though I wore with the new Riddle leggings, they are still so fun and playful. The park ave shirt from Mon Tissu has a lovely line and length with curled up sleeve caps and its own waist belt not worn, but so cute for other occasions, I have actually worn the belt in a different post.
Another New skin by YS & YS this is Megan and such a different face than usual, I love the make up in this one, and its another that comes with matte lipsticks, you can either buy seperate or included, as well as new eyeshadow packs that match a few of the newer skins. The hair is also older from LeLutka, but I tell you what the styles about to come out will have you screaming for more more more.

Elle Yu Elle Ay
The long anticipated opening of MonTissu is just over the horizon, it will be open this Saturday officially, but if you have been chomping at the bit to see the new location for Lamb, Tres Blah, Mon Tissu and Turnip then Lula is where you want to go. Turnip Sorbet has been working on the build for the past few months, and it has been well worth the wait. The style of stores are just charming I wish there were more of them to explore, the landscaping is some of the best I have ever seen, this is not just a commercial sim, this is a destination.Earlier today a few dozen fans got the chance to have morning tea with the owners of Mon Tissu and special guests Lamb and Turnip. Lamb has already opened her store with the new rlelease of her hair Wild Nothing, which I am wearing in the post. Tres Blah also released a new skin, but I am wearing an older one from the blur event of a few months back. I am also wearing some of the tops that are due for release, the So Boho top I have been coveting for weeks now, the style is superb, old vintage handcrafts made into something so wearable and chic, the Joli beaded tunic is a divine cleavage enhancement without being too out there. Both tops are created by the two owners of Mon Tissu and truly show their talents.There is a lengthener skirt base to the So Boho top, but I loved the finish it had without as well.
I was watching an old tv show earlier, and the main girl was wearing some great gaucho pants. I have a few pairs in SL but was thinking that some of my favourite pants might be convertible, and sure enough with mod and copy as an option I was able to shorten and edit the prims, and voila, my Fri.day trousers are now gauchos…I even flared out the pants layer, so they weren’t a tight fit, yay for mod clothing.
Whmsy and I were fortunate to be invited to the preview of Osakki’s new mainstore opening the other night. Not a huge collection but a great start, and such a great array of mix and matchables. The leggings I have on were part of that release, and if you are a leggings/tights fan, then you best get on over there. The leggings and most of the clothing is so 80’s reminiscent for me, so I had to go there, with my leg warmers and armwarmers I could totally audition for my leading role dance number, after I get the man and of course have fabulous hair all the way through.
In both pics the shoes are new, the first set being the latest slouch boots from Gos, so many options, with metals changing and the leather option of the boot, or the straps and wood/sole base, its all interchangable. These worked out really well with my pants, and with the tops of them being not so tight, they are great for tucked in pants for winter weeks to come. The flats are adorable and from SLink, these are June shoes and are available at the Albero event that starts today…so many things start today, it is funny how often stuff starts same time as other stuff, I wish the lindens would make some sort of google calender and we would all put in dates and lock them in, would be so much easier on everyone. It is one of those collective conscience things I guess, it freaks me out how often we talk about something amongst a small group and then others end up doing same…Whimsy thinks we are bugged lol.
Anyway the event is a gifting one, were whatever you buy is transfer so you can do some incredible Christmas shopping in advance, and everything is supposed to be priced under a USD Linden equivelant, which is nice for the budgeters. So deprim and have a wander over there too, if you haven’t seen the Anya Ohmai pig snowglobes you haven’t lived and they are at the festival too and OMG so cute

Ain’t no Shoe Pony
So last night Whimsy and I were out and about doing our thing, when we decided that we were going to pick one store, and use the same item in a post. We got so excited that we even went to the store and ran around falling in love with everything all over again. Whimsy fell in love with the displays in the store, and they were/are adorable, but I was so overly impressed by the whole new and improved build – as I had not yet seen it, and it is lovely.
So we ran home and jumped on our VR Studios and decided on the Mete as our shared item from Nyte n Day, I have shown it before as it’s own set, but today decided to take the main piece which is the beautiful tube top and work it in with some other Nyte n Day as well as designs from others. Nyte n Day has an incredible assortment of versatile separates, as well as complete sets, all at incredibly affordable prices. So mixing and matching is a breeze. Now during all of this of course Whimsy crashed hard core, and so much so that she didn’t return, I stood and waited, posing with the DARE poses of awesome but no Whimsy *pouts.
Finally she came back today, and of course while I was head down bum up in Group invites for Hair Fair, she took her pics, and now we are writing at the same time. I am yet to see hers, but know it will be full of win as usual. You can see her post, if you haven’t already, over at Virtually Dressed. The hair I am wearing is Hepburn a new style by LeLutka, how cute is it, such an adorable little ponytail, almost Gidget like as well, the ribbon tie is colour change on click, and a lovely natural look.
The Shoe Fair is still going strong, and another fabulous release at the fair are the Mieke boots by SLink. These riding boots are amazing, the leather work and just overall style is perfect for those that love equestrian pursuits. I know that Justice a good friend has been looking for a true riding boot for a long time, so she will be stoked I am sure. Make sure you gallop on over to shoe fair 🙂

It was a Blur
One of those catch up days today. Have you been to It was a Blur yet? The mirror sim is hosting an interactive art exhibit featuring some of our incredibly talented designer/creators.
“ You will find items (free and for sale) scattered around the floor about the sculptures. These are items created by our artists to help you blur with the environment. As a viewer of the art you are a participant of the art. You are the art itself. There are also poses, animations, sounds, and machinima to aid in your participation and full realization of the works. This is not a static artwork but rather a 4 week experience, after which it will only have been a blur. ”
The exhibition is amazing, and does not take a lot of time to explore. You can take it all in in an instant, or spend a long leisurely amount of time immersing yourself in the content. It has something for all, as well as buyable art and items of clothing, skins and accessories, as well as some gifts.
I purchased the skin by Tres Blah, such a lovely skin and *blinks* it has no down there, so not only is it perfect for all clothing lol, but for those that definitely don’t partake in extra nakey activities, or those wanting a great child or doll skin, this would be something to check out. The dress is Miel’s contribution to the exhibition, this dress is so pretty with its waffle like texture and frilly parts, definitely all girly girl.
The event will run for a month, so be sure to grab some friends, or fly solo, up to you, but don’t miss out on It was a Blur.
