Have you seen LuLu?

First of all a heads up that on the 7th the Hair Fair Photo Contest will begin. You can find all the information on that, and the rules HERE. I cannot wait to see all your exciting entries…there is a huge prize pool, and the theme is fun fun fun.

I love hair, hair was my first passion in Second Life, I spent every cent I earned on hair, buying sometimes half a dozen styles a day, and back then hair was slim pickings stores wise, so you had to get your fix whenever you could. None of these releases every week or two, back then it could be months between, and you would totally jones for a fix… yes I agree, I have watched way too many cop shows lately. But it was honestly brutal, I would go nuts roaming around Second Life trying to find new hair to wear, back then swapping outfits and hair was a four times a day minimum habit, and I didn’t even blog yet….

Better on Top

I have mentioned in the past how much I love a good hybrid, the mixing of system layers and mesh, to really add extra versatility to an item. This Basic Maxi dress is a fantastic example of that, and you will want as many as you can get your hands on, the style, the colours – the appliers – it all works.  I wanted to show how it can go from a casual daytime look, to a dressier night out style with a few simple items added to the look.

With the help of the lovely mesh denim jacket from Emery that is at this months FaMESHed, the combination mixed with the system layer upper portion of the dress is perfect. Adding a few bits and pieces of your favourite jewellery would add a lot of flavour to the look, but I settled for simple today. I was never into denim jackets when they were a big thing in the 80′s but one of my friends was obsessed, and after wearing this one by Emery, I can understand the attraction after all this time. The sunbrella which is a C88 event item by Yummy, is adorable, and thankfully mod also, seeing as it was a bit oversized to start with, but I made it a little smaller.

Catch me I’m Falling

Ok, first off I am going to have a rant…not a usual SL type rant, but a RL rant if you will. I just started watching Vampire Diaries, and do not panic, I am not about to do a spoilers thing, but I have watched the whole first season, and I am hooked now, even though I have tried to watch the series 4 different times and never, until now, got past the first episode. It got me to thinking though, I do love me some Vampires type shows/movies, and I am like many waiting on the next True Blood to come on…then of course Twilight finished incredibly well I must say, and no I am not obsessive, I just liked it.

But the original and still favourite has to be Buffy and Angel, that was a love story and a half, and I miss the shows a lot. But my rant is, what is with all this rule changing crap. What is with Vampires having reflections, and being able to be out in the sun, and eating garlic, and not needing to sleep all day… I know there were times when Angel could do certain things, but sheeesh I am getting really annoyed and think I got ripped off, and I want to throw down my soapbox and demand a redo, I think that all the originals should have to come back and the whole Buffy and Angel and Spike and whatever should all get to come back with the ‘New Rules” – end rant.

So now that that is out of the way, and expunged from my system. On to the Bee’s, well a mix really. Bee’s through the Seasons event is nearing its end, and there are so many wonderful items to get there, as well as experience the great themed event layout itself. The top I am wearing is actually a dress that I am wearing part of by OkBye. The little spring dress is a micro mini with mesh insert and the colour worked really well with the adorable palms irie skirt by Emery that is at this session of My Attic @ The Deck.

Minty Fresh

Mixing it up with minty freshness. The swimsuit is all perfectly glittery in a lovely shade of mint, which is part of the Sprint into Summer set by Stellar at My Attic. The set also comes with a long skirt in a beachy look, but I went with this flirty ruffled number by Tee*fy that is part of this months Collabor88. The swimsuit and skirt (not shown) are one part of the set, and the sunglasses and eyeshadow worn, are part of the accessories add on pack by Stellar.

Criss Cross will make you jump jump – Collabor88, Zodiac

First of all before I go into this post, and the fashion…I wanted to let you know about a blog that has returned. You may recognise the name Hybie Mynx, she blogs over at It’s Only Fashion. Now even if you don’t recall the name, if you read the blog, or peruse the feeds, you will definitely recognise her face. She has a look that melts my heart every time I see her. She has such an incredible face. She has brought back her blog Avatars in Motion. This is a location blog, and I cannot wait to start visiting the places shown. I will also add pics to Second Life Stock Images Flickr Group when I do, so that others can use them, if they want to.

Fly me to your skybox – Collabor88

Skyboxes are one of those things in SL, that are like the ‘and eating it too”, you know. They give you an illusion of space, and can be whatever you want them to be. If you have ever lived on mainland, they were a necessity for the most part, because back in the old days, who could even conceive of living on the ground – unless of course you had the money to afford a large plot of land. But even that didn’t ensure you weren’t back0-ended by some gaudy, loud mess of a structure. That is not to say that all mainland was that obnoxious, there were some great spaces even older, but with the 512 plot land grabs of 06/07 things got ugly lol.

I went skywards back on my parcel once for a few weeks, because I was between sims, and had had my mainland 512 since my first few months  here, because its free with premium…I still have it. I was high in the sky and free from all the ugly, and then someone smacked a club right next to me. They could have had any height, but no, had to be the exact same height as mine….seriously. That wasn’t that big a deal, but then they started shouting, winning things noises, and all sorts of stuff, so my friend – evil genius that he is – scripted a responder, so for everytime it screamed in my houses direction, the scripted prim would scream back about monkeys and tv…it was hilarious, but I removed it after a few hours of guilt. I was between sims as I said, so honestly I didn’t much care what happened there.

You Sleigh Me

My Attic @ The Deck is doing its next session starting tomorrow, so I have been buzzing around, and decided to step back and get some much needed blogging done.

I love winter fashion, and with the theme of this months Collabor88 taking that to delicious heights, I am even more so. With it being summer down here though, it can be very hard to watch yourself in layers, while the fan is trying to stop you from melting. While I have only been sledding once, and by once, I actually mean one time once, one go down the hill and that was enough for me – we wont even mention that the hill was about 5ft high, I am way too girly and accident prone for such daredevil feats. But a sled such as this one by Cheeky Pea @ Collabor88, was definitely a must have wall adornment, and you  never know, I may just take it for a spin in SL where I can’t hurt myself. It actually has a vehicle script inside of it, with some charming animations, so make sure you get some for fun with friends…

Bee all you can Bee

 

New shoes that take me back in time to the 80′s in the best of ways. The Liaison pumps are about to be released at Maitreya in the next few days, (possibly tomorrow) and they come in an abundance of rich colours. On top of the fabulous colour range, they also have four different wear options that make them very versatile from day to night and well into the wee hours.

First off the have the pointed toe pump look down to perfection, with a great steel heel that is nestled inside of the sole. The sole also has four options of colour from the HUD, you have black, red, tan or the default colour of the shoe. Then the shoes via HUD have an option for strap or no strap, and sock or no sock – the sock is more of a legwarmer look, which is so dance fabulous. Then the fourth option is to wear the straps over the socks look, which is just too irresistible to me…

Leatherette – Two in One

Last week Anessa Stine came to visit wearing the NEW FANATIK dress that is part of their FaMESHed release for the month. As soon as I saw the sleeves I knew that they had used mesh in the way in which I wish many would, they had chosen the lace to be a separate ‘material’ than the rest of the dress, so that the alpha in the lace would not effect the rest of the dress, meaning you could wear mesh hair that has alpha without an effect, also it meant that if mod I could be tricky.

The dress is Mod, so I immediately rezzed it on the ground, and selecting the face of the sleeves turned the transparency up to 100 and BAM a sleeveless ALL Leather looking dress that is definitely HOT HOT HOT, and you of course get two looks for one….

Crystall Dunes and Second Life Stock Images

This is one of those times where you have to run, not walk – or in our case TP – as fast as you can, because you only have two days left. Crystall Dunes was open to the public recently, and so much love was bandied back and forth about it, that Neva has graciously extended the time until the 7th of November. Now if you do not know about Crystall Dunes, just imagine if every single home decor item or furniture piece you have ever admired, was set up in a way as to create the perfect home, or in this case homestead, because there is not only one house on the sim. Then the outdoors also is just beautiful, soft, subtle and has hundreds of possible photo taking oppurtunities.

Now a year or so ago we started the Second Life Stock Images group on Flickr, you have possibly seen me mention it before. It was actually inspired by Cajsa Lilliehook who so often sends out a long list of possible locations for photography, and the different attributes the location has, such as being able to rez or scripts yes or no, and so on. You see I tend to want to shoot outdoors, but by the time I find a space, and am happy with the location, something always goes wrong. Then with frustration I return to my VR Studio and am in bliss and safe from the outdoors and take my pics.
