ISONIC
When you have been a Blogger as long as I have, you have seen so many items come out of long standing stores in Second Life. Today I was able to mix and match newer releases with recent-ish releases, and some releases that I am not sure if they even exist anywhere for purchase but are by the same creator. That is the joy of Blogging though, styling a look together is not meant to always encourage someone to run out and buy it all and replicate what you did – mind you, if you want to do that go ahead – but more to inspire someone to go out and shop for elements they may not have, and then to remember components that they may already own in their inventory, to then use in a way that maybe they had not thought of in the past.
Ison is one such brand, they have been around so long now, that it is hard to really remember a time we didn’t have them. I for one am glad we do, because Harry is such a lovely creator, and has such classic staple style, that as you evolve fashionably in Second Life he is there to guide that growth. I went to Collabor88 to grab this gorgeous cardigan and tank top from Ison, and they come in all the gorgeous packs that Ison is known for, I look forward to wearing each piece in many other ways in future. Their colour palettes are always so pleasing. Adding some accessories that are much older. The bag I was able to size down and the glasses are still perfect, with a colour hud that worked out so well with my look. I am and have always been – not that this is even news to anyone – a colour co-ordination addict. I cannot help it, I am that kind of person. So the mix of red, black and gold came up a treat for this look – we will ignore the fact that the bag has silver metal, sometimes you just have to go with what you have. It all paired up nicely with the high waisted jeans by Rowne.
This hairstyle by TRUTH was also just perfect for this strolling around the city look. I really like the smoothed upper to the soft cascading waves look to it, then being able to pair it up with accessories like a headband or even just resting sunnies atop your head, whatever works, it is fun.

Baby Gothy Mothy
I do so love fun names for things, and the Gothy Mothy had me captured, the fact that the set is just so fun is besides the point, the name grabbed me first. I am just wearing the wings part of the set, there are antenna and eye coverings that are all texture change and animesh and just all sorts of fun to be had. Gave me a reason to put on my Baby Goth makeup by AlaskaMetro, as you know I do not need an excuse really for that, but how cute does it all look together, and can we applaud these horns by Celesticat, more HUDs of awesome, and the texture work is just fantastic. Inspired me to colour my hair, with this lovely TRUTH style called Angel, and well they wear wings right. I especially like this half updo style, because instead of a band around the pulled back hair, it is hair wrapped around hair, and I often use my hair to tie back my hair, I did it today actually, you have to do what you have to do when all your hair elastics turn into wire coat hangers.

Hair Fair 2024 – Truth Sparkle Skye
I knew as soon as I saw this adorable fascinator hat by Sparkle Skye, what I was going to wear it with. Then the whole look came together, and when you have an inventory like mine, it is no wonder you have street lights just laying around for prop use – mind you they are also the same street lights I used at Hair Fair, so that tracks. I loved the idea of a dapper look, with the fascinator being so girly and feminine, I wanted to even out the scales there and add a bit of masculine to the look. Then it turned into a whole singing in the rain kind of vibe, and what better hair to pull that off with than the Breeze style by Truth.
What I like most about this hair, is that with the settings options for style, you can tame it down or really lean into the wind. Lucky my Kaori Mini Hat is well pinned on. Again I am playing around with the lovely colour options of this style, actually adding the streaks option for the soft greyish pink to the more grey overall colour, it really came out lovely just a subtle add to give more realism.
I have mentioned my underwear a few times this week, so wanted to point out that the bustier portion of the suit, is sheer, but can also be turned off…now we know I do not do sheer with nothing under, so I grabbed one of the newer underwear sets by Nuve the cherry set, and tinted the white lace away, and it was the perfect fit – I love me some mod! The hat is also mod, and I am going to be making it different sizes in future for different looks for sure. It also comes with net or silk fabric options, as well as feature options of colours depending on what packs you purchase.

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.

Faith – Tuli, TRUTH, Dernier Cri, Studio Sidhe, Kitties Lair
Through the whole time I was taking these pics, of course all I could hear inside of my head was George Michael strumming a guitar.
Those of you that are part of the Tuli group, know that recently Tuli suffered a loss in her family, during this time Tuli named the skin she was working on Faith, in honor of her Aunt that she loved dearly. A few weeks ago she shared a sneak peak of Faith with her group, and they adored it, and I am very glad also sent her the warmest of wishes in that time.
Then Tuli came to The Deck , and before her main release of the Faith skin she created an Exclusive Faith make up that is only available at the Tuli @ The Deck location, and again her group and loyal skin wearing fans came in droves. Then yesterday she surprised everyone yet again with a fantastic Gift Exclusive. The giving nature of Tuli is known by all of her group, and those fortunate to know her ♥, we are blessed.
The release was going to be Sunday, but so excited was she, that she couldn’t resist releasing earlier than planned and again her Group of admiring fans and friends went wild, so today you too can join in and find the Faith love.
Wanting to show the skin in as much of its glory as I dare, I went in search of some Tuli smalls, there are in fact none to be found, but I heard a rumor that that may just change shortly :P. So wracking my brain I suddenly had a burst of evil genius and love all rolled into one.
You see the day that Tuli came to The Deck I was running around in some cut offs, and Kit, Camilla and Tuli were teasing me, saying such things like they couldn’t concentrate with my bottom hanging out, well I showed them 😛 .
The shorts I am wearing are from Kitties Lair and the best way to show as much as I dare , or in this case deriare , was to wear the Santa Monica Torn Hotpants, these actually come in five options this of course being the most baring :P, Tuli loves these shorts, so I had to combine lol.
As you can see the body work on the Faith skins is just superb, the smooth and silky complexion runs from head to toe. I am a bit in lust with the backs of the legs, which as we all spend so much time looking at our backs is an important area, to me the back of a skin needs to be as visually stimulating as the front, and this one is that and more.
You can rest assured though that as much as you will enjoy the back, others will admire your front. The body is fit and fabulous without being overly toned. Then we move up to the face, that is just glorious. The Faith make ups range from the natural and classics, to the daring and captivating. Some of the make up definitely has an 80’s retro kind of feel without being too blue eyeshadowy…more of a coloured liner look which I love.
So many beautiful choices that you must DEMO DEMO DEMO. TRUTH recently as I have mentioned made some new hair, as he has been doing this every week lately my to blog folder is a mix of the last few releases, this being the Angelina that I find just lovely as an all day into the night style. As usual the style fits to perfection for me, and the colours are so rich with this latest texture release that you end up wanting to try different ones each time depending on style, or maybe thats just me.
The bikini top I am wearing is from Dernier Cri, the Shiny Silver Bikini has been a favourite since the store first came to the grid. A few finishing touches, one being the Essentia Burgundy Hair Rose, the other being the beautiful Elven Anklet by Studio Sidhe.
This anklet was created to be worn with prim feet, but I chucked a big tanty and proved that it could be worn and would be worn with or without, always a fan of anklets RL and always really surprised that there aren’t more of them in Second Life, these make me happy .
While I was at Tuli grabbing bits and pieces that I didn’t get time to show, I couldn’t resist her pose stands, so the poses used in todays post are also from Tuli.

Pony Play – Sanu, Gala, TRUTH, House of Munster, Essentia, Aitui
A few weeks back when we were in the process of building, Ashia Tomsen of freestyle and Inventory Episode came a calling. We were talking about fun and fanciful items, and she got all excited to show me the then soon to be released Dark Stripes Unicorn set from Sanu.
As soon as I saw her putting on the pieces I squeeled PONNNNNNNNNYYYYYY. No not pony, Unicorn, but it can be a Pony :P. We declared there and then that we would do a post on this set together, and today is the day. The items that we have on, are a compilation of the Dark Stripes Unicorn set, and the Dark Stripes Unicorn Silks. You can buy these items seperately, so if you aren’t into prancing as such, then you have a wonderful prim silks set to lounge in.Now I need to warn you, this set comes with no texture layers at all, so you will either wear the prim modesty layers for down below, or be a kinky prude, and wear panties. Becuase Kink is the New Chic don’t ya know, all the cool kids are doing it,, snortles.
The silks set is so lovely, and all sorts of options to make prim wear easier, Sanu has layed out the top in a variety of sizes pre done for you, as well as having them all fitted with resizer scripts, as all the pieces come that way, it is a case of click and + or – YAY. There are also different length skirts, and they are just so pretty to wear, again as I said you could so totally do the silks set solo, whether it’s your regular form of wear, or you just want to feel all prettyful. Isn’t Ashia prettyful ♥.
The Unicorn pieces, and yes there is a horn there – but we were playing so hard at being Pony’s I think we both forgot we were supposed to be Unicorns lol – as well as a variety of different tails, and the adorable hoofs, that come either cloven, and or bow legged. All these considerations in this set show me that real consideration for those that live this lifestyle was taken into consideration, as well as the fun in which creating such a fun pack would be.
Many other colours can be found in this set, the fat pack is HUGE, and again all the pieces can be used at different times, for different looks. The Dark Stripes Unicorn set by Sanu also has a collar, with a built in Pony Ao, that puts your hands in the correct position and allows you to prance, it is so much fun, and usually you have to buy those seperate, so thats a big bonus.
The lovely Ashia Tomsen and I are both wearing the beautiful Gala April 2 Skins, her in the Petal tone and myself in the Sundust – more of those to come from me later today. The lovely hair that Ashia is wearing is from House of Munster, and is called Wicked, This is a great sharp concave cut with tips, House of Munster hair is so much fun, you will need to keep visiting her store for more beauties like this one.
The hair I have on is Caitlin by TRUTH, which were some of my favourite teen series books as a girl, and she had a Pony too, with Hair Rose by Essentia to finish off the prettyful. The ink adorning the arms of Ashia are from Aitui, and she wears these and others full time, so make sure you check out the tattoo line over there, they are really good work, and only get better with time as his store just grows and grows – MORE HAIR PLEASE.
NOW you all have to go to Ashia Tomsens post over at Inventory Episode , because she has created such a beautiful image of us both together , where we take the Pony a little bit further.

Fashionable Relay Challenge 34 – Rocker – Canimal, Lala Foofoo, Free Speerit, TRUTH, Essentia, Sanu, DeLa, Enkythings
I am not sure what happened somewhere to make it my go again in the Fashionable Relay Challenge, but YAY because I never got to follow anyone. The lovely Kira Paderborn of Shapes by Kira.
So running around with Kira as my absent guide, I ended up at Sanu. The Scribble Monocle set comes with 5 different monocles, they have different colour beads and the funnest names, this one is Smurfy – as if you could resist. The other week I went to Canimal shopping with Whimsy and Meko, and had a squeeling moment when I layed eyes on the new to me Rocker Jacket.
This Rocker Jacket is so cool, it is of course the Union Jack in leather in an open zippered style. The jacket is a semi cropped length with zippers featured on the arms and the back, I love this jacket and I remember when Canimal came back from the UK all inspired but somehow I missed this gem.
I am wearing it over one of my favourite Gauze Tanks by LaLa FooFoo, this is the white, and even though it doesnt have a jacket layer it comes with a tucked in underpants layer, that really works for this look. The navy blue Leather Pants I have on are from DeLa and these pants are such a rich colour, they shine in all the right places without looking too overdone, so you can wear them with all sorts of looks, the dark blue definitely pulls up the depth of blue in the jacket, which I really like in the darker toned flags.
Having way too much fun now with my red, white and blue look, I added the red Nana heels by Enkythings – have I mentioned that I love these shoes yet ?, the style and the colour are perfect for the combination and to really work with the cuffs to these pants.
Needing more white, I chose the Puschel Pez tail from Fifferling, a fun playful cat tail, adorned with pez dispensers and other various candy fun. The Kitti ears are from The Sweetest Sin, but you can of course get ears at Fifferling also, and vice versa if you aren’t in the mood for a candy tail.
A splash of luxurious red in the form of my hair, the style is called Willow 2 and is the latest release from TRUTH, itwas not just the perfect choice for it’s colour , but the swept and pinned back look gave it a fabulous charm but also the ability to see the monocle bangs free. Another splash of red, is in the form of the Tiffany ring by Flirt, it is diamond encrusted, with platinum detailing…it is also scripted to chage size which is fabulous as I had to increase it a smidge to fit perfectly.
Byzantine Choker by Essentia, which is my favourite silver choker. The detailed link work on this necklace is divine, true Byzantine detailing that you have to see RL to believe, there is a demo in the Essentia Main Store. The Skin that I am wearing is the lovely Kimberly skin from Free Speerit, the body detailing, and the lovely make ups are just fabulous. Make sure you try on the demos and check out all the other items at Free Speerit, as not only skins, but hair, clothes and poses.
Now about the poses, Marleen Vaughan of Marlys, put out a challenge to pose makers. This challenge was inspired and creative, it was for posemakers to create poses based on the Robert Longo artworks in RL. His work has people in such intense poses that for a posemaker this was certainly a challenge. So many jumped at the oppurtunity, and did such a wonderful job. Chance Greatrex from DARE sent me his pose set from this challenge and it was instant love and admiration for this set, and the pictures that can and will be taken with them.
Be daring and try them for yourself, they are so lovely, and from different angles and with some imagination, they can do so much.
Passing the baton to Shelly Toonie over at Moonshine, it was a blast being able to jump in and get another chance to partake in this challenge.

Burlesque- House of Nyla, Your Skin, Truth
Nyla Cheeky loves to wow her fans, and this release is not different. Inspired by her St Patricks day release of cheeky lingerie – yes Nyla I am still waiting for that brand store 😛 – she has come up with the latest Burlesque series.
The Miss Whip Cream set from House of Nyla is just stunning. The set comprises of not only the lingerie pieces, but also the beaded crocodile shoes, and the INCREDIBLE hats. Unable to change into the lingerie straight away, I went with the accessories first, you don’t just get one hat, but three.
The Bow hat which is sweet, the Russian Veiled hat which is sultry and sexy, and then the super awesometastic hat, the one with Monocle and Pocketwatch, that keeps REAL SL TIME. You also get the beautiful stacked pearls necklace that is a definite wearable with so many formal looks.
The lingerie is comprise of delicate lace bra and panties, a garter belt and suspenders, seamed stockings and a gorgeous satin corset, that is so outerwearable.
Adding to this the sculpted Crocodile Pumps for your feet and you are set to seduce. This set is an incredible price for all the pieces that come with, but you can also buy the shoes, and hopefully soon the hats seperately at House of Nyla..take the time to tour the store, as there are so many incredibly beautiful pieces to enjoy.
I am wearing the Vesper Hair from TRUTH in the first pic, and the Sehra hair in the second..I did have to mod Vesper a lot at the crown for the hat, but taking a copy first made that not an issue. The style is so adorable but looks very naughty with the hat and lingerie.
The Skins I am wearing today are from Your Skin, they are the Adriana skins that come with so many lovely make up choices as well as different brows and freckles, check out the demos of these beautiful skins as they need to be worn by you in your shape to really see how lovely the can be for you.

Slippery
A beautiful NEW Skin to the ever expanding Gala skin line is Pin-Up, and as the name suggests it is all pouty lips and starlet styled make up that will have you panting, or possibly your partner will be.
To start off the huge post of Pin Up Skins by Gala, I am wearing Pin Up from Stellar * Waves to Lexi* . The pieces to this set are extremely sexy and great fun. You can opt for with or without the flexi addition to the strapless top, that is tightly laced at the front, highlighting the beautiful shading of the skins. The mini flexi skirt is a staple in any Stellar fans wardrobe and the print on this one is fab. The bangle is also included in the set, and if you are a red/black combo fan I am sure it will be worn alot.
All of the main pics in this post are featuring the Sundust tone in the Pin Up Skins by Gala, the tone is just gorgeous as are all of them, but I spent the day in the SL sun today so it was appropriate ;), but when I took all the tones pics further down I wanted to do another 50 pics, but I spared you :P. As before all the tones come in both a dark and light version, I am wearing the dark option and this is the Starlet 1 make up. I have to say that during this shoot, I kept having a Taylor from B&B kind of thought process with these skins, and hey to look one pixel like that woman would make me very very happy indeed.
What I really like in these is the obvious lightness to the face, in such a way as to really show that you are in fact wearing make up, that there is all over coverage going on.
The bodies of these skins are just as the last release, so beautifully shaded and the stomach is just gorgeous. The hair I am wearing, and yes again I am doing Hair all by the same store, I don’t want you wearing yourself out running all over the place 😛 , oh wait you will for clothes anyway lol. The hair is from Magika and is the Lucy style with an adorable bow at the top, slightly alluding to innocence until you travel further down the body.
Ok so by now I know you are going OMG WHERE ARE THOSE BOOTS FROM ?, I know right. They are my new hotness bought for me by my Main Hotness Mel. These are the XPosed Boots by Fussy and these boots are all that and a bag of chips. A triple MUST MUST MUST HAVE!. They are sculpted toes and heel, with a hud that allows for skin change and nailpolish changes, these boots are sooo Sexy and I am dieing for them to come in more colours, and possibly leather options not only patent/latex…not that I have any issues wearing this kind of texture lol as you can see they fit into my wardrobe very smoothly, but PLEEEEEEEASE make me some more more more Satomi pleeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeease. Oh and I didnt meantion BOWS on the back lol , these are so yummy I couldn’t take them off.
Also wearing the Solid Black Raincoat from Elixir, these coats in the past I have shown in the sheer latex version, I am really liking the solids as they allow for more mixing up with other items. The Slung Mini skirt is also from Elixir and is an older style that is really sexy and I really like the innovative way that Elixir have created this skirt to look a particular way, and also to work with the way prims work in SL.
A New style from Magika is the Buns hair, really nice large buns, two of them at the back of the head with thick bangs sideswept at the front. This is the Jitterbug 1 Make Up from Gala in the Pin Up skin, and the red in these lips is smashing.
One of my favourite older items from BareRose is this Basket. A long time friend Luve had this easter of 2007 and we ran right over and got me one, we also went there in bunny avatars and acted crazy for a few hours lol. I ran into June yesterday and she assures me that it is still there, and even though it was created with easter in mind it is just so very Goth Lolita looking, and the skully black eggs, I mean hello stink bombs lol.The beautiful Dress is the Julia dress by Popfuzz Bamboo and it really is lovely, the dress comes in a huge assortment of colours, as do many Popfuzz creations, strapless with a light spray of floral embelishment across the top of the dress gives it that little extra in this tube style I adore for SL, no chance of it falling down.
More beautiful embelishments are in the form of the Tiana Necklace and Earrings from DeLa, these are so delicate and beautiful. They come in various colours but also with silver and gold options available. The new releases coming out of DeLa lately are really stepping up into a new level as Kura has been creating with new software and has been spending hours per day learning her new methods, and to me it is well worth the sacrifice of time in world.
The Apple Pie Make up from Gala Pin Up is another brilliant red lipstick option, one release with this many red lippy variations is just fantastic. The hair is the Olga style, another New release from Magika, I am loving the tamer styles coming from there lately, with the cute pins on the sides, Magika is giving their customers an all situations hair range.
The other week we had another one of our, ‘Fia needs to shop” days that ended with all of the girls spending money lol, how he puts up with us I don’t know…oh wait I mean me :P. Actually now that I look at it closer this pic has Fia all over it, starting with the I Bite Belt from Miau Haus, we went there back in Aug 2006 and bought this belt, I loved it then so much and still do.
The Bloomers I am wearing are from Scribble, these come in different colours highlighting the black bloomers, but these are the black/black pair and they are puffy and cute as in a more modern way than previous bloomers I have shown. This post kind of made me realise that there are Pin Ups from all sorts of genres, I mean a Pin Up is really just someone you admire and find attractive, whether you are Male/Female, Punk, Goth, Neko, Furry or a fish its about that appeal and attraction.
The bikini top is from Elixir and is their latex bikini which comes on all layers and is very handy to have. The Aggression ArmBands are from Digital Dragon Designs and are wickedly cool and actually match some other boots I have from there. The other fantastic accessories I have are the Open Handcuffs Necklace and lipring by Sable Rose, the lipring I have been wearing on and off for days it is so cool, and actually from a distance looks like vamp teeth lol. Incredible work is coming from Sable Rose lately and more wonderful creations to come.
An old set of Ink from TRUTH is the Betty tat, I am not sure if this is still in the main store but even if it isn’t its a great indicator of the types of tats Truth does, also this is on not only different layers but different options, such as arms only, back only, back and arms etc. The hair is Acceptable by Magika and the Gala PinUp make up is the Pure 2 which is a bare make up and so cool to have that option with Skins like this.
The bag that we ended up getting that shopping day is the BLACK CAT BACKPACK SMALL “Nekovampi Pet” by NekoVampi this bag is too cute, and if you click on it the cat meows scarily lol. There are three sizes in the bags that you get and the price is fab. I have been wearing this one and off for a few weeks and it is lots of fun.
This next dress is from SySy , a classic black dress with a beautiful large turleneck look. To give it a bit more purrr I have added the Wild Animal Print Belt, Earrings and Bangle from Dark Mouse. I have shown the Zebra before in these and they are just as fabulous in the Tiger stripe Copper, the style of jewelry and the belt are just fabulous for this look or any pants/shirt combo.
The hair in this pic is Root Bear and for some obscure reason I keep thinking it’s called Sea Gull, don’t ask me why because I don’t know lol.
The Pull Col dress is a great little number for casual to dressy looks, it does come in a variety of deep colours , but the black was so working with the accessories I couldn’t resist.
Yay for YaYa , this dress is fabulous and again by SySy. The colours and the shape of the dress is so fun and carefree. I love the vibrant and rich colours in the prints on these dresses, by far my favourite has to be the firey coloured one in the centre. All of them are swish loving fun, you know you do it in your head when you find that kind of dress, I cannot be the only one that makes random swishing noises to myself
The fabulous hair is Riddle b y Magika which is a great tails style with full and fluffed out tails. Again one of the Bare Make Up options in the Pin Up skins by Gala is the Cats Pyjamas 2, lippy or not the mouths on these skins is hot hot hot.
These are all of the tones in the Pin Up skins by Gala, the body detailing is scrumptious and the tones themselves are just heavenly. In the frontal pic I am wearing the Dark option of each tone, and in the back view picture I am wearing the light. The difference is not a lot but just enough to make that transition you need on occasion depending on mood and weather.
I am wearing the Luna Di Miele Lingerie by DP Serendipity, this is their first lingerie line and it is really lovely. The fabric is a velvet look with lace trim and detailing, I especially love the scalloped edged elastic look to the trim of the panties. The thong is beautifully shaped at the back to accentuate the curve of the lower back and hips, a fantastic first lingerie style.
I decided to show Olga in more colours as its such a pretty hair by Magika :).
All of the Shooting Poses used today are from Persona YAY Mylie Writer is back from taking a break and has brought with her some fantastic poses. These are fabulous for showing all sorts of items, especially the Fussy Xposed boots YUM YUM YUM couldn’t wait to finish typing had to tp Newdoll over to grab some in the laced up and buckled version that I swear was not there two days ago I swearrrrr.

Synergy
This is so exciting a concept, and while Alaska Metropolitan gives full credit to those that helped her, and also discovered this ingenious process, it is Synergy by Opium her own brand that is going to make us all sit up that didn’t know about it and go OMG.
You are wondering what I am raving about I am sure, well first lets do the pics and then I will explain. The store the tie is from has a story, some of you have read it before, so bear with me, because it is one of my favourites.2nd day in world Sasy goes to a fair at Transylvania, stands there in awe of the beautiful items on show, popping gum with her hair from Panache that she swears she will never take off. She comes across a booth which is now, not sure about then, called Gothic Dreams, and the lovely Xultana Lowell passes her a folder, squeeling with delight she puts on the items and declares that she will stand there all day and show how wonderful the School Girl Goth set she was handed as a gift is to the public – and I swear I was serious I would have stayed there until my face hit the keyboard.
Xultana is I am sure amused by me and invites me to her studio to help her do the vendor pic for the set, as it had not been made or released yet. I go with total excitement and got to pose for her pics, she even let me keep my bubblegum in lol, come on you all know you were hooked when you came into world and found the 5L gum machines.
I put on the shoes I had at the time which were from Parallax View and Xultana passed me a pair in plain black, same exact shoe and let me keep them – such a generous lady… and to this day I am still in her store in the vendor ad for that set, I even went to check tonight to be sure before I bored you all to death… due to prim limits I am in the multi vendor so if you want to see Sasy when I was 2 days in world thats were to look lol, but nearly 3 years later she has never replaced me, and I still have that outfit ♥, and the memories.
Ok so back to the tie, every so often I get nostalgic and go and visit Gothic Dreams, and the last time I was there with Fia I picked up the wonderful British Love tie, it would probably look hotter with a collared shirt perhaps but I love it this way, because of the collar built into the tie itself. The red, white and blue is just fab for mixing with casual or punked out looks, that this one is slightly.
Concord Clothing has a smallish range of casual/dressy items, the store is a small one but hopefully will get bigger over time, one thing as a blogger that freaks me out is misplacing a folder within a folder, luckily for me this one ended up inside one that hadn’t been put in the correct place; but was still in my to blog folder. So I apologise for the lateness of showing these items.
The Red Low Scoop Shirt actually comes with two tanks on all layers as well as the shirt itself. Great layer options in this store, pretty much every option is covered, with the benefits of extras like the tanks. Whether with or without the tanks the shirt is really well presented, and the shading is perfect for the style.
The Black jeans by Concord Clothing are fabulously low cut and beautifully stitched and shaped, with two prim options for the cuffs, as well as without cuffs options on the clothing layers. I will talk more about the jeans next pic.
The hair is by Truth and is the Tahlia hair, beautiful tails that end with loose braids, the thick bandeau style hair wrap is texture change on click with oodles of options colour wise, and because Truth rocks he has left the hair mod, so you can still change the band if you choose to a texture you like from your own inventory.
The gloves are the Leather Gloves Grey, from Sassy Kitty Designs that I bought the other day when grabbing the skull gloves. The Valentina Slouch boots are from Lya that I showed in the black the other day, and come in both slouch plain and slouch lace upper parts for whatever mood you are in.
Ok the more about the Concord Clothing jeans is, how curvy do I look, wowza. These are the dark Blue Jeans, and there is something just sexy about that shade of deep blue denim that makes you never want to take them off, especially for those of you that love your curvyness these are tremendous.The Tshirt is the Red Tshirt also from CC and again for a casual look that has some class to it, the shading on these is wonderful. Wanting to finish off that tight jeans and ultra smart casual look , I went with the Snakeskin boots by Lya, these come in two options of pattern and are just yummy.
Brand Spankin New hair from Truth is the Amber style, the demo is in carrot and made me salivate for his new textures in the light natural reds, this is the Pumpkin and don’t you just want to eat it up. A lot of the time the windblown look hair only really works with pics, this style is just shy of being too much that way inclined and works well for just every day wear.
The Hair Rose in Red Harmony by Essentia, really works well with the red tone of the Tshirt also from Essentia is the Blue Tortoiseshell bangle, which now comes on both right and left.
Mmmmmmmmthat make up la di da, wont be long and I will fill you in :P.
It being so long since I got the folder of Concord Clothing, I went over tonight to see if there was anything new, not so much but I couldn’t resist another pair of jeans, this time in the red, also the Black Cardigan is a lovely mid length cardi that I have put on over the top of the white tank that came with the scoop neck shirt.This hair is also New and is the Miabella hair from Truth, this is so beautiful, named after Miabella Foxley the incredible Photographer that recently did the Maitreya spring campaign ads, as well as the owner of my favourite Flickr Group SL Picture Pile Ups, if you ever want to play with pictures in Gimp or PS, and you are a bit hesitant or don’t know where to start this group is BONZA.
There is something so interesting about editing other peoples pics, you see things and are inspired more sometimes than with your own, you can also add a pic to the discussions and let others edit yours – suggestion, use a plain background when submitting one, as I have noticed people don’t like doing much to ones with lots going on in the background, it’s a lot of work removing all of that.
Oooooooooooo so I am ready to shoot the rest of the skin and a notice came about a New release from Paradisis, PERFECT timing, I mean seriously it could not have been better, I try not to jump ahead with items I post on, it gets confusing after a while, but again PERFECT TIMING. For a start they have moved location so yes I have updated my slurls page, the other thing is the outfit is way too cute.
The Jacket is the G Girl Jacket , and the pants are the G Girl Luv Jeans. Lets point out the love, first off the jacket, the back has 100% Geekette emblazoned across the back, so that’s love right there. Then you have the ipod in the front pocket that is primperfect and so cute. Now on the arm pocket there is a cigarette, and as I have been smoke free for my second full week now after 20+ years that had to be hidden in edit, thanks for it being mod lol.
The collar is soft and warm with it’s pink knit, ending with the same knit at the cuffs and band. Then moving down to the pants, low hipsters, that go so much lower than you might want in your pants, lol but that is why they were PERFECT.
The have fab tear/rips across the backs of them and full rolled up cuffs – not shown- that are just great. These come as seperates and are so fun to have, especially the wonderful jacket.
The hair I am wearing is Wendy also by Truth and has sideswept bangs in this version as there is a number 2 I showed earlier in the week.
Ok OK OK , so ready , are you listening ?.
Synergy by Opium is Alaska Metropolitan’s new foray into Skins, this is by no means Alaska’s first skin line, many of you know that already, but some wont, so trust me :P.
VERY IMPORTANT, these are not released yet, but this is something that you will want to pay close attention to the release of.
We are all the same underneath, has never been more true, when you realise how these new skins work. Right now I am different from you , but you are all the same lol. That’s confusing but let me explain, because until last week I never knew this.
Every one of us has a default skin, a skin layer that is actually part of the avatar that does not come on any layers at all. If you have ever seen the really old old New Resident skins you will remember them as being very flat, no real texture to them etc, well they live in your hard drive.
That is what I mean by us all being the same, inside every you there is the exact same avatar skin, no matter what skin creators skin you wear, underneath it is the default LL skin.
Now Alaska does not take credit for being a genious, she passes that to Namssor of Second Skin labs…but regardless of who this is to me incredible, and I can see it changing many things in the skin/tats/fetish industry.
Ok so think about that LL default skin a sec *shivers with you* and imagine if you were able to make that default one that was a hundred thousands times better looking. That if you somehow were able to peel off your (insert name of other skin store here) skin and have something that wasn’t so cringe worthy underneath…interesting thought right.
Well between Namssors knowledge and Alaska’s brilliance you can, you see when Synergy opens you will be able to buy a new default skin.
Now you are asking why the hell you would want one…ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh thats the exciting part. You see if you have on a beautiful default, then anything you put on an in world skin layer goes over the top right ? nods*, and if you were to put something on the skin layer that wasnt solid but was in fact mostly alpha that would show up as an EXTRA LAYER OPTION.
*picks most of you off the floor*. You know those plea’s you hear all the time, for tattoo layers, or why can’t i just buy make up?… well now my lovelies you can.
This is how it works.
1. You buy the files of Head, Upper and Lower body parts from Synergy. When you get them in your inventory you will see them as textures.
2. You right click and open each texture, then you click on File at the top left of your screen and press on Save Texture As. This will save that texture to your harddrive. I recommend when saving it, save it to a folder on your desktop called Synergy.
3. You need to open that folder on your desktop and rename each texture… head needs to be head_color , upper body needs to be upperbody_color , and lower body needs to be lowerbody_color…these will need to be saved as TGA files, so make sure that they are when you save them.
4. Open the folder on your harddrive C:/Program Files/Second Life/character/ and then copy paste those three textures into that folder, there should be a popup asking if you want to override the ones already in there, press yes to all.
5. Relog
6. Make a new folder and name it Synergy Skin – Yours or something you will remember. Then Right click and create new body parts> Skin. Wear the new skin it is blank of anything, once you have it on rebake, Ctrl Alt R , and you will see the base skin you purchased.
7. Pat yourself on the back, your new back :).
8. Now I swear to you you are new underneath, if you do not believe me, then make another skin in that folder , and wear it, then go into appearances and press the skin button, you will see three boxes with grey filled in and a cross over them. If you want to be daring drag an image from your photo album over to one of the boxes 😛 , I promise if this is a new skin you just made yourself you cannot harm anything. DO NOT DO THIS TO OTHER MOD SKINS THAT YOU HAVEN”T MADE A BACK UP COPY OF FIRST IN THE FOLDER.
9. Now if you were at Synergy you would not have been able to pass up the Make Ups, and they are GORGEOUS. When you purchase those and they are so inexpensive its insane, you will see they look to be a skin, so you are probably well confused as to why you need to do all this at all.
10. Wear the Make Up skin, and you will see that the make up is sitting on the skin you just added to your hard drive, if you did not do the hard drive steps, you will see pretty make up on top of the default LL skin and probably be crying in a corner by now.
11. If you are crying go back to the hard drive steps and start over 🙂 *hugs*, if not you will see the genious that is Synergy.
Now what are the reasons that this is so exciting, other than make up will be cheaper to buy, and you now don’t have a default LL skin.
There are many, first off realise you have been given a big amount of trust in that the textures that you bought and put on your Hard Drive are full perms, some are already scared of what that will mean, it will mean that really awful people will try and use them for their own skin store possibly, but they will get caught :).
Now those that are mod fans, will know and also see in the credits that Alaska has put in her notecards, that the skin base used in this is partially Eloh Eliots, and I do mean partially, a LOT of modifying went into this skin to make it Alaska’s work primarily.
But those that are already fans as I have said will realise this means they can make their own make ups once they buy the base, and yes Alaska also is going to set up the option for people to sell make ups as part of a Synergy third party reseller plan which is awesome, but you will need to buy the bases at Synergy for them to work correctly.
The first three skins I am wearing in the pics are Synergy make ups and they are sooooooo gorgeous, wearing the make up skins over the NEW Synergy default…now the Fourth skin/make up is my mod. This is why it was a perfect release.
I made simple lashes very dark using brushes in PS, and also a rough eyeshadow in black also , to give a kind of dramatic eyes look, there is absolutely nothing else on the layer, just the lashes and black, no face no lips nothing.
But then I got more daring, because you see as minimal down there is on the Synergy Skin base, it had a tiny line just above the pants. So being very daring I grabbed the lower layer texture in ps and cloned it away, then because it was a demonstration of versatility, I grabbed the upper layer, and threw on a heart brush and then removed the upper body part, brining it in as an alpha just like you would clothing or tattoos, threw them all on a skin base made by me in world and voila, I am tattooed, Dramaticly eyed, and discreetly not showing with my extra low pants.
Like I said this is a release you are going to want to keep tabs on, the options are going to be amazing.
